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

Quote from MaineMomOf3 : Worked for me, got 4 cheerios, 4 CTC, 2 cocoa puffs and 2 HNC, I watched the screen to make sure and after each set of 4 the discount came off. $.55 for a box of cereal is splendid

Thanks for your replies. At what point in the checkout process should the discount show up? I bought 2 boxes of cheerios and 2 boxes of cinnamon toast crunch and no discount came off. I had to ask the cashier to manually change the prices. After going to that trouble and paying for my order, I realized that the cashier had only scanned 3 of my 4 coupons. I was already in the car at that point, so I didn't bother to go back. If I go back to customer service and explain what happened, with another coupon just to show them I had them, will they give me my money back?

Also, I don't remember seeing a coupon for the honey nut cheerios. I would love to get those instead of the plain kind.

TIA. You guys are a big help!

Your boxes will all ring at the normal price, and then when the fourth one in each lot is scanned, all four will switch to the sale price. That's if you've already scanned your loyalty card. If you haven't yet, everything will update at the end when you scan it.

If you bought in lots of four and didn't get the discount, you bought the wrong sizes or varieties. It takes a lot of attention to the tags on the shelf. (This time they advertised ALL, but it was a printing mistake; it should be SELECT varieties.)

There are/have been several coupons for honey nut. You can always check the printables thread, here.

Hifromgray answered your first question. She is right, you must have gotten the wrong size, only the small boxes are on sale, my store had all of the printed ad-correct signs up, and only the buy 4 for $1.75 on the right products, that are on sale otherwise for $2.50. Right after 4 are scanned the computer will correct the price and take the additional $.75 off, then after 4 more are scanned it will do the same thing.

I know many people on here don't bother to go back for coupons when the cashier misses them, but I almost always do. I live 30 minutes from the closest store, so I don't always go back right away, but what I do is call when I get home. I keep telling myself I am going to start checking my receipt before I leave the store, but with 3 kids in tow, it doesn't always (or ever) happen. I check them when I get home, and make sure all were scanned. If one is missed I call the store, just mention I was in earlier that day and had 4 coupons for cereal but only 3 were scanned, I always write the name of the person I spoke to on the top of my receipt, I mention to them what lane I went through if they want to pull the coupons to make sure it was in the bag (normally they're still bunched together), but they don't usually do that. Sometimes they say they'll write a note and leave it at the desk, sometimes they just say bring your receipt back and they'll take care of it. I have gone back a week later and gotten my money back. Petty, maybe, but I don't like getting jipped

The honey nut cheerios coupon I had was from last month, it had an expiration date of 11/9, printed from bettycrocker.com, I don't think they had one for those this month, same with the cocoa puffs coupons.

Good luck

frozen turkeys for .49/lb... awfully cheap!

Something worthy of reporting!!!!!!Udis Cranberry granola is clearanced 50% off making it $3.00 and there is a 1.00 off any Udis GF product MQ right on the freezer door, so 2.00 a bag and it is delicious

French's Dijon mustard is my fave! It also happens to be on sale for 2/$3, so $0.50 after the coupon at frenchs.com

Quote from jtolpin : frozen turkeys for .49/lb... awfully cheap!

only today and with $25 min purchase....couldn't find that much I was willing to buy...cause I don't have that much room for creamer in my fridge...

Bailey's creamers are 2/$4, blinkie box with $1/1 exp 3/31/13. $1 each. Bigger bottles are 2/$6, so $2 each after MQ. Sign only said new spiced soemthing flavor but I bought cheesecake and it worked. Regular flavors were not signed and not in flyer...hoping it may be more as we use these at work alot...and would love to pick up some for coworkers for the holidays.

Nothing much lost not getting a turkey at Shaw's today as they are $.49/lb from 11/11 for two weeks at Hannaford. If you have a McKinnon's around you (such as Portsmouth or Salem NH) they are giving free turkeys with a $150 purchase. In conjunction, they have a special in which they are selling 10 lb value packs of boneless skinless chicken at $1.59/lb.

I found the turkey worth it -- only $6.xx for a small one, did the cabot cheese deal ($2 ea, with 1/$2 mq, and $1.50/3 savingstar), orange juice for $1 and instant coffees for $0.29/box after after wounded warrior project coupons, four pepperoni sticks for $1.40 after sale and $0.55/1 hormel coupon... add a block of tofu and the bananas my kid was begging for, and I hit $28 pretty easily. Also just signed up for email alerts from shaws with a new email addy, and got bricks coupon for $2/25 purchase. Short exp date though, 11/24, so I'm not racing to print it on multiple computers.

Thanks for posting this, helped me out! I can't rep you again right now so I'm using this to say thanks.

There are Halls cough drop coupons in Shaws & Star Market stores .55/1 which doubles. The Halls are 1.69 (or so) and B2G1 free.

1.69 x 3 = 5.07- 1.69 = 3.38. Use three coupons at 1.10 each. 3.38-3.30= .08 for 3 bags. The third coupon is deducted against the free. I've run this deal a few times.

What I am not sure is that spend $15, get $5 promo with this product. I am not sure if it is a one time purchase or multiple.

I am donating the extras to my sons school hba/medicine drive.

Quote from MaineMomOf3 : Shaw laying off about 700 employees in NE... to help them be more efficient? Seriously? I was in a store the other day around lunch time and there was one cashier, one, not even one big and one express, just one... couldn't go to self checkout because I had coupons... so much to look forward to...

The problem with Shaws in some markets are prices. For example, Morningstar is $5.29.. It is $3.39 at Target and $3.89 at Stop N Shop. Amy's burritos are $2.99 at Shaws, $2.69 at Target and $2.79 at Whole Foods. This issue will only become worse as prices rise due to the drought.

I think that the critical part here is "in some markets." There are no SnS stores in Maine and no MB. The nearest TJs is 35-40 minutes from me. We have Shaw's and Hannaford, and I find their prices comparable, some higher at one, some higher at another; but Shaw's typically has better sales for the stuff we buy. And my service seems to be miles ahead of what many of you experience. I will be devastated if my store closes.

I think you can only use 2 coupons to stay within their coupon policy.
