Going to bump this to help get more traffic in it.... I'm interested in this thread!!! I've not shopping at this store, but with a new one in the neighborhood, I am going to be reading this thread diligently!!!

Quote from MyFeetHurt : Thanks for the thread You think you got enough $ in the title?

Those dollar signs help me locate this thread more easily. LOL. I don't actually have to read thread titles I just look for the ($$$$$) and I know I have the right thread! Everyone please don't create anymore threads with the ($$$$$) signs in it and muck up my system.

Heads up.... Always Infinity 14ct Overnight, 18ct Regular, 16ct Super are being priced at $4 as a "Hot Price" item. Just because the price doesn't show $4 or the "Hot Price" sign isn't there, have the cashier do a price check.

New Dawn hangtags should be added to the Dawn. They are FD coupon hangtags so you should be able to combine with a manf. coupon. **Update- The hangtags are for 75cents off and they don't expire until the last day of the year.

Oh and... coming soon, most Family Dollar stores are expanding their Food departments, so the clothing department is getting a reduction in size. This means clearance! At the store closest to my home (also a store that I service as a merchandiser) has half of their clothing department 40% off. I personally think FD has the cutest children's clothing. At regular price, you can get a top and bottom set for $6 or $7, but with the clearance... $4 for two pieces and they are SUPER CUTE, way better than Walmart. The clothes hold up. 80% of my youngest daughter's summer wardrobe came from FD and the clothing hasn't fallen apart or shrank even after multiple washes. **Update- I asked the store manager when the clothes would go 70% off and he said August before school starts.

Airwick Freshmatics are $6, making them $2 after the $4 coupon on airwick.com
Finish (Electrosol) Powerball Tabs 12 ct are $3 making them 50cents after the 2.50 coupon from the inserts.
Almost every brand of toothpaste has one priced for a $1. Crest, Colgate, Aquafresh, Closeup, and Aim all had a $1 option, making them free or close to free after most toothpaste coupons. I lost the counter ad, but I know there was a 50cent FD coupon for Colgate, but I don't know the details. I'll get another ad the next time I am there.

I found baby dresses for $2.

The swimsuits for toddlers were 3.60. They are super cute. I paid full price for my daughter's just a month ago. I am thinking of getting her another for next year.

New flyer with coupons came in my mailbox today.

Does anyone have any contact info for Family Dollar, I need a copy of their coupon policy desperately. I pretty much got accused of stealing today while purchasing the Electrasol gel packs that are on sale for $3 and using the $2.50 Q. The cashier said that there is no way I could get them for that and she needed to call the manager, I said fine and I would wait. She came back and said that she could only take one coupon per VISIT, but still there was no way that I should be getting them for .50. I felt like saying that I get stuff for free all the time, you should try it!!
I really try and stay under the radar, usually if they pull the one per purchase/trans stuff, I simply say fine and come back later or ring up separately, But this is the second time this store has made me feel like such a criminal. I emailed once and got a call from the Manager, I just wanted to clarify their policy but it does not seem to have helped. I am hoping for a print out of some kind that I can take with me. Maybe I should just PM at Walmart and use my Q's there!!

I don't know their coupon policy but I will tell you what happened to me on my last Family Dollar visit. I went in to do the Bandaid and Reach toothbrush deal. I had 2 coupons of each. The cashier said that I would have to do 2 different transactions. So I gave 1 box of Bandaids and 1 Reach toothbrush gave the coupons she rang it up the total was like .50 cents or something. I didn't have cash on me so I gave my debit card. It went through fine. She rang up the 2nd order and the same thing and gave my debit card and the register wouldn't take my debit card because it flagged it as a duplicate order. That is when I went to my car and got the cash and it went through fine. My cashier was nice about it though. So at my Family Dollar they won't take more then one coupon for the same item. Kinda stinks but that is okay with me as I don't go that often to FD.

Thanks for the tip. I still don't understand how to do that? I click Tools and the options it gives is Deal Alert, Slickdeals Mobile, Amazon Fillers, Credit Card Deals, Price Lookup, Global Search, FAQ and Product Reviews Forum. I'm not that computer savy so I would need step by step instructions on how to do this. Thanks in advance if anyone can tell me how!

at the top of this thread, there is a bar that has the options view first unread, search this thread, and thread tool, click on thread tools

Thanks for the idea, I will try that, I don't go there much either, just every now and then when a sale is good.
