Did you try scanning the All coupon before you scanned your card? Since it doesn't need to double, I scanned it before my card, but after the super q and ended up with 1.01 in overage.

blah what was the psp by you? its only 4.99 in vernon and s windsor.

I know this will be controversial, but I'm having a little trouble with the ethics of this whole thing. In the past, excellent deals or MMs were based on a combo of stores and coupons and sales and catalinas combining for a great deal. This one is just working the store computer system to have it essentially take off a coupon twice. All of the savings are coming out of the store's pockets, because there are no manufacturer's coupons involved in getting the overage. For example, the All detergent ends up costing the store itself money in the example where it is Shelf Price, -store coupon, -store card savings. Everything is out of the store's pocket in that case and the store is paying you. Whereas with catalina deals, etc, it seems to be Shelf price, -store sales price, - manufacturer coupon, -manufacturer catalina and the store still makes money.

I know some people will say, if you're not comfy with it then don't do it (check). But I want to put some awareness out there. We need to treat our stores with care. Anyone else see it differently?

All the Xmas wrapping paper are 75% off, great way to bring your psp higher

The coupon is only coming off 1 time. Its just coming off for a higher amount because it's programmed to give you the coupon price with or without a card. Than you scan your card for card savings. Also your example only works for some. I have to pay 1.00 for the ALL. Its really all about your psp's on how these work just like a catalina deals. The amount of people who know this trick are very few just the same as the amount of people who know that catalina deals work on psp. Its really comes down to the same thing here. you are getting the deal off of psp.

Quote from MLouise : Pepperidge Farm Garlic bread 2/$4 - $.50/1 printable coupon = $1 each

Thanks! Texas Garlic Toast and Garlic Bread won't sit too long in our freezer May pickup two more next week when I can print again from work

Did 2 transactions today:

1st:
Florida's Natural $3.49 - $1.61 - $0.70
All Free & Clear $6.29 - $4.30 - $2.30 - $1 MQ
Grape Tomato $3.99 - $3.00 - $2.00
Pork Loin $15.51 - $2.39 - $8.36
Total $3.62

Scanned All Q before card & worked beautifully!

2nd Trans - Special K wouldn't go thru
All Free & Clear $6.29 - $4.30 - $2.30 (I'm out of MQ)
Grape Tomato $3.99 - $3.00 - $2.00
Pork Loin $15.97 - $2.46 - $8.61
Special K Cereal $4.79 - Cashier saw the Q giving me error & took off $1.88 MQ would not scan either
Bananas $ 1.26 - $1 - Peelie on Special K box

Total $6.75

Can't complain, but not sure why Special K wouldn't work...I would like to be able to substitute cereal for juice since my fridge is still jammed from last deal.

No, i don't see it differently. Clearly the store does not intend to pay you to take the items. If everyone here really believed it was OK, they wouldn't try to hide their transactions. That tells you what people really think, as opposed to whatever justifications they will give you.

Having said all that I do these deals anyway. I'm not a perfect person and this is one of my flaws. I'm done with my say on this topic, everyone else can have their say, or not.

Found at S&S today - these cute Hello Kitty bath sets clearanced at $2.50 in the Holiday items today, two nice sized bath washes, a body lotion and scrubby sponge. They don't look Christmasy, so good to put away for year round gifts

Did anyone else have a problem with the $1 All mq from the 12/2 RP not scanning? I bought the All Small and Mighty type. Our ad is the no tomato/no juice version.

So the SCO attendant had to come over and manually deduct it. He stood there for a good 15 seconds just staring at my screen. I hope he didn't notice too much. Perhaps he was just checking that I hadn't already deducted it??

Quote from macscotty : coupon*clipper - great job on the penguins, I'm gonna try to make some with my daughter - any tips hope I get the milk coupon, its $3.89 here

Thanks! They were fun to make, lots of giggling.

What we learned for next time -

Use 2 different size olives, such as large or jumbo for the body, and small for the head.

For the body, don't just make a slice down the side. It looks better if you actually cut out a small section for the white "chest" to show through.

Spreadable type of cream cheese might be easier to pipe than the brick type. Either way, let it soften at room temp a few minutes before attempting to pipe it into the body.

I put the cream cheese in a sandwich size zipper bag and cut off one corner, about the width of a pencil.

I filled all the bodies, and then the kids assembled the rest.

Have fun!
