I had an interesting run tonight. I was able to use 9 RR's ... but only had 3 fillers.

Did you run out and buy 24 bottles of Pantene?

Guessing it was only last month but does anyone know if the clear is still giving a pm for the ba's? I don't mind going out of the way for my favorite store but wont bother if the pm is over.

My receipt is in the car my husband took to work but I can remember most of it.

8 cases of Lipton Green Tea (had $1/2 coupons from the 9/30 insert)
6 boxes of the .99 Nabisco cookies (had $1/2 IP's)
1 pair of nail clippers (no coupon)
$30 iTunes card (no coupon)
3 Hallmark cards ($2/3 IP)
1 Cepacol (did not use coupon)
2 bottles of Tide (had $1/1 coupons)
3 boxes of Robitussin (had $3/1 IP's)
and some other stuff I'm sure I had coupons for.

I wonder if the Lipton, Nabisco or Hallmark coupon are coded to attach to only one item?

Hallmark IP attaches to 1 item so that gives you 2 more slots.

I received two emails from Kellogg's, one acct at work, one acct at home. Work account received a $.50/1 Kellogg's Cereal, any box. Home account received a $.50/3 Pringles.

I knew that P&G sold pringles, but I didn't know it was to Kellogg's.

P&G sold the brand to Kellogg in 2011.

Wonder what WAGs corporate thinks of their new program.
The only good thing I have to say about the program is that I now have $0 RRs, so $0 expiring and I don't have to make a hurried rush to the store to flip or spend them.

I wonder that, and I wonder what cashiers think.
I never heard them ask anyone to sign up for the card, and now that you have to have it, not once have I been asked to swipe my card, or whatever it is you are supposed to do.
(I am not complaining about my cashiers, because I have a lot of good ones around here.)

I love that part. I can't recall how many times my RRs expired, even as recently as Monday. The last few items I bought from WAGS were such low OOP that I couldn't use them, so I put them in my pocket. Then I didn't get back there right away. Plus one time I lost a whole bunch of them - almost $100 - when I couldn't find them. Months later they were behind a bookcase. At least I don't worry about that with the points.

I figure I'll use pay a bit higher oop on the point offers, then use my points to buy non-RR/non-point things, like water, bread, milk, etc. Once I get rolling, I think this will work out better. Right now I have almost 60,000 points and $11 RRs after buying a lot of water today. That will come down as I begin purchasing groceries at WAGS. I can use my coupons with points and don't have to count my RRs. Think I'm gunna like this.

I guess I'm the odd duck then because I hate the whole damned program.

Yeah the spend $10 and get .50 in points on these offers is way better than the register rewards where you pay $7 and get a $7 RR. What point producing item has matched this? None so far. This program is crap.
