  1. My $5 scenario for today - in 2 transactions I bought 2 Colgates, 1 Kleenex, 1 travel size Johnsons baby shampoo and 1 Reese Peanut Butter Egg (filler). Used $3.55 in coups and a $3RR, paid $4.27 OOP and got $8 RRs back.

  2. Hi CJ - Thanks for sharing. I love to read about what other people bought.

  3. If Schnucks stores handle the dark chocolate Reese Cups, than it might be cheaper with the B1G1 Hershey Candy Bar sale. Since Scnucks rings the second free item as nil (zero), than usage of a second MQ is a big YMMV.

    $.95 - .55 = $.40/2 or $.20 each

    Now doing this deal on Thursday at the Schnucks stores that matches SnS $10 off $50, should result in two Reeses for a whole penny.
