Quote from CouponingCraze : oh awesome i'm gonna order q's then and try to roll my $5 hallmark cats

The Schick hydro shave gel seems to be in very limited stock, at least in the stores near me. I was thinking about ordering coupons until I realized the stores have very few of this item. First store I went to had only 3 on the shelf, so I didn't do the deal. The second store had exactly 6 of them, so I added an Edge shave gel and used the .55/1 coupon. So unless you have lots of Giants to go to and not much competition (one person can clear the shelf doing this deal!), I would think twice before ordering. JM2C

I was very surprised to find plenty of the Hydrogels. But after I took my 7, I don't think there were 7 left. Maybe 5.

I added $2 worth of fillers and used a $5 CAT. The $10 CAT is a STORE Q!

I found 7 at one, and 6 at another. Not sure how quickly they'll restock on these. I only have enough qs left to do one more deal, anyway.

Another deal, for today only - if you still have the .75/1 McCormick coupons, some of the grill mates bottles are 10/$10, so if you use SCO, a little bit of overage there.

A weird thing about the cat - it wouldn't scan for nothing at the SCO, I think because it printed very faintly, but when I tried to input the numbers, it charged me 20.61 from the meat dept. And when the SCO attendant tried to input the numbers, same thing. So their way of fixing it was to suspend the transaction and pay at the register. Well, we all know what happens with that - no cats print. Thankfully, the store mgr happened to be standing there when I asked for my cat, and he just told the cs guy to give me a $10 gift card. Much happier with that anyway!!

Does the $10 catlina rolls?

Why are you drooling over a store Q? I'm clueless.

Quote from Free48 : Why are you drooling over a store Q? I'm clueless.

Store q can be used a self check out (SCO). Some times on your next order (OYNO) cat coupons are coded 992 which means they are manufacturers coupons and although they can be used to be buy anything (except gc, tobacco, etc. ) they can't be scanned at SCO and SCO attendant can't override it. The manufacturers 992 q also need to attached to a single item so you need to purchase an item that is over than the value of the q for it to scan properly at the regular check out. If you don't have an item that cost more than the 992 mq it will beep. At my local store the cashier don't know how to handle them and need to call a supervisor for approval.

Thx, guess I need to add my . LOL. Got one yesterday and was hoping to roll it today at another store.

Yep, the easiest way for store employees to handle this is to cash you out at CS. If you don't have a single item in your order that equals the amount of your cat, it won't go through no matter how they try. And I don't make a practice of buying $10 items I don't need, just to be able to use the cat.

One word of caution about the $10 cat - make sure your subtotal is at least $10, or it won't scan.

Also, I didn't see this mentioned yet, if it was, forgive me. For the OM subs, at SCO, you have to input your card # before you scan your coupons, or it won't take the $3 off.

Uh, yeah, what sabrant said! That and because I need to get a life (sad that a $10 store Q makes me drool).

RamaLama posted a battery deal in the S&S thread here. Be sure to rep the OP. There are also $1/1 MQ's you can use on this in the 5/1 and 5/22 SS. Sale price is good at Giant, too. It's on page 9 of the ad, real deal.

Also, NO TAX ON BATTERIES IN VA MAY 25-31 due to hurricane preparedness week! See here [virginia.gov].

Good deals on Breakstone's Zesty sour cream and Heluva dips this week. The Breakstone's are BOGO ($2.19) and have a $1.00 Kraft instant savings when you buy two. There are $1.00 IPs on FB. Heluva dips are $1.67. I had $.50 instant savings on my card and there's a $.50 IP (which reset for me recently). Two Breakstone's were $.19 (I only tried using one IP) and the Heluva was $.17.

Also had a problem with my scan-it offers. I purchased the Heluva and got the .50 scan-it savings. But didn't get the $.50 scan-it savings for Mission tortillas that I also see on my card. Is there some kind of weird one-scan-it-item limit per transaction. (This has happened twice now.)

Don't think so. It must be a glitch because I've gotten multiple scan-it offers during one transaction. The most recent was $1 on 4 maruchan and 50 cents off eggland's best eggs last week. Do you mention it to CS? They should be able to see that you didn't get it.
