ReplyDeleteOk you are gonna make me do it again----
ReplyDeleteJeri Jeri Jeri Jeri---
You did AWESOME =)
WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!
Hi All - This shopping trip was pretty easy with (5) $20 Catalinas. I think SNS did this same type of deal around Xmas last year. So, if you have a major expense coming up and can wait out one of these types of deals, it is well worth it.
ReplyDeleteI have (3) $20 Catalinas for next week. I just hope I can come up with $45 in coupons to make it work.
I know it's already been said, but I just can't not repeat it...WOW!!! You're too humble to say it was 'easy' with the $20 cats. I too had plenty of the $20 cats, but didn't get anywhere near that low! Great job working the deal:)
ReplyDeleteThey did it the week of Black Friday last year. The following week was not a $10 off week, but they did the GC deal that week too, only receiving $10 back the next week was $10 off. Does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job & I k ow it is an awesome feeling to look at that kind of savings!
Hi Melissa - I pulled coupons for anything I might want to buy, and used a few coupons for a free product, after that I just hunted for things family memebers wanted or things needed for the pantry.
ReplyDeleteThere were many things on my "possibly buy" list I couldn't bring myself to pay for - $7.50 Oscar Mayer Bacon. I never pay much attention to regular prices. I can't believe how expensive some products have gotten.
Great memory Tonya! I knew there was some deal around the holiday's but couldn't remember the details.
ReplyDeleteIt was my best week ever because of the $20 coupon. My total for $51.00 in groceries was $6.53. I have NEVER come close to that. I had to buy gift cards anyway so it was a major bonus!
ReplyDeleteQuite impressive, especially with the high prices in St. Louis!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Mary!
ReplyDeleteHi Kristen - Even though St Louis area stores don't double any coupons over $0.40, it's still possible to save a ton of money. You just have to look at things differently.
SOOO, the question is, will SNS allow use of more than on $20 GC Cat per transaction?? I used 3 in one transaction last week, no problem; my daughter tried to use 2 in one transaction at the St. Peters' store and they declined. What's up with all the different policies? Why should they give a rats' behind?
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie - The $20 Catalina coupon does say "Limit one coupon per transaction, per day"
ReplyDeleteI haven't wanted to use more than one per transaction. Good thing they didn't limit me to the per day.
