Shaws Supermarket (MA, ME, NH, RI, VT) Deals

Quote from Inscrootable : Not sure it would work w/o intervention on cashier's part. If you use more than one Logix q per transaction only the first one rings up. The others ring up as $0. Sometimes even when you only have one item the Logix q rings up as $0. Quite the system. You have to watch it or check your receipt immediately.

Quote from Atalanta : Your cashiers will take 2 EE coupons on a BOGO sale?

you both are right, no wonder after the 1st one, the other one scans 0, the cashier pushed it through, it's been so long I shopped at Shaws, I need to pay more attention.

anyway, $2.29 for 2 packs, still good deal...and if you go there, pick up the free croutons...

also a bunch of King Arthur's white whole wheat flour 5lbs on clearance for $1, i picked up 3 bags..

Quote from Inscrootable : Here's my plan: 8 Suddenly Salad, psp $2.49, sp $1; 1 @ $1, 7 @ $2.49 6 GG veggies, psp $2.19, sp $1; 1 @ $1, 5 @ $2.19 Total $30.38 psp, sp $14 - 4 $0.50/2 Suddenly Salad doubled $10 oop and get $10 gas code & 10 BTFE

There are some .60/2 GG Q's if you haven't printed them yet. I'll screw up the link to the site so I'm linking to the IP thread.

We only got $1/4 Suddenly Salad and I didn't have time to print any IPs, so I did this:

10.00 (20) Yoplait
8.00 (8) Suddenly Salad
-------
18.00
-2.00 two $1/1 Yoplait mfr Q
-2.00 two $1/4 Suddenly Salad mfr Q
-------
14.00, for $2 Yoplait cat + $10 cat for gas card.

PSP: 20*.75 + 8*2.29 = 33.32

Probably could have done better but I was in a hurry. $2 for 20 Yoplait is good in my book, SS is just the means to get there.

Has anyoen ever frozen this yogurt and then thawed to eat it? I've frozen before and used for smoothies, but not to eat. Wonder if it's worth repeating this scenario.

So you did your transaction based completely on PSP? You didn't count the first item at SP? If you had, would your total still have been over $30?

I freeze the Whips all the time. Still have a dozen or so in the freezer. Just like having raspberry mousse There are on-line articles about doing it. They thaw and eat just fine. Have never tried freezing the ones w/o all the air & gelatin. Don't know what their texture would be.

Still would have been over $30 with 1 ea @ sale price:
.50 + 19*.75 + 1.00 + 7*2.29 = 31.78

I had kind of calculated that in my head but forgot to mention it, sorry.

hmm wonder if I should go do a run. I dont have coupons though except what I can print and the 1 paper from sunday. I havent gotten boxtop slips in ages!! Would love to have some for back to school. I gotta see if I got an ad this week. Suddenly salad would be good to have on hand I could stand to have 20 boxes or so.

I saw there was a bunch of posts and thought hmm i better go read haha

I just did a run with yogurt, Motts fruit things, and H.N.Cheerios. I based it on 1st item at sale price, the rest at PSP, total was just over $31 and everything went fine...except that I forgot to give them my yogurt coupons. Grrr.

You could be BOLD and ask the CSD to do a post-coupon

Quote from Inscrootable : You could be BOLD and ask the CSD to do a post-coupon

Actually, I probably will. My store knows me well and does things like that for me all the time.

My Shaws memory is failing me

Honest Tea is BOGO - can I use 2 coupons (one on the full price one and one on the free one) or only one coupon per pair?

Thank you - shopping today and gosh I do love that half tea/half lemonade Honest Tea - AND I finally found some coupons!

They changed their policy to only allow 1 mq on the item you buy, no longer allowed on the free.

BUT that one coupon can be a BOGO which is why I have a ka-zillion disposable razors

Just turned on this pc for first time in a while and came across this post:

Quote from ThreeMonkeys : Make sure you look for special marked boxes of pillsbury studles there is a $5 rebate wyb 3 http://strudelgrocerycash.pillsbury.com/

Just checked the rebate and its good until 12-31-2012. Any q's for toaster strudel?

OT: My store now has a "bad" coupon-er. She teaches a class and brings attendees w/her She clears the shelf. During the razor deal she ordered 50 cases so everytime a case came in it was put aside for her and none made it to the shelves. She brags. I was next door in Staples and cashier told me about woman who bought $700 worth of groceries and paid less than $1 for them, pulling out her receipt to show cashier! Who does that??? Who goes around bragging about what they're doing??? THEN she breaks the rules and gets pissed when store won't bend them for her. Tells them they're wrong, that she knows the rules. She came out w/ overage and argued when store would not put the overage on a gift card for her!!! So now any special order has to be approved by manager. All it takes is one person to ruin it for everyone.

Last week I was in the store and a woman was checking out w/ huge cart of groceries. I thought it might be the "bad coupon lady" but it wasn't. It was someone else. FEM was going around w/ her because she had rain checks from April. They were from a pot roast deal so she'd pulled some nice roasts and was trying to get FEM to give them to her at pot roast sale price! FEM couldn't believe it. Just because you have a rain check doesn't mean you can pick any cut of meat you want, not to mention that the RC was from 3 mo ago. They ended up denying it on the basis that it wasn't even from this store but from store an hour away. The woman had her son w/ her-- maybe 8 yrs old. Great role model.

The TLC show has created monsters . The only consolation I have is that FEM & cashiers say to me, "can you believe..." knowing that I'd never do what these women have the unmitigated gall to do.

and now we return to our regularly scheduled programming...

Quote from Inscrootable : OT: My store now has a "bad" coupon-er. ...snip... .

Bummer. I tell myself that people who coupon fast and furious like that end up burning themselves in the long run. I don't know if I'm right or wrong, but that's what I tell myself. I suspect there has been an increase in couponers around here too. I find shelves empty sooner. Once in awhile, cashiers who recognize me will comment that they had someone come in and try to use coupons incorrectly, like on incorrect products. I have had a handful of cashiers, all younger/college age ask me where I print my coupons, and I always tell them all the sites I've used to print. I even gave one young man a couple of coupons, and he reached into his wallet, and gave me a gum coupon! I thought that was so cute. Maybe one of the biggest impacts this lousy economy will have on the next generation is a new value and appreciation for finances and money management. Funny, I've never, ever had a cashier who appears to be my age or older ask about couponing, not sure what that means, lol.
