No inserts in LaVoz

Edited to add: I have NEVER run into anyone at any of the 10 LaVoz stands I have to choose from, in well over a year, NEVER. Today I saw at least a dozen people as I drove on by and 1 stand (the most obvious one) was completely empty. Gotta love it. Good thing I am a highly competitive person

Qian: Qs finally went out today! I'm so sorry, it's been crazy around here!!

Last week I sent DH (works in central Phx) to FC to pick up 2 ad's for the Coke Q's. He went to one store and NO ad's, he even asked at CS and was told they were all gone. He went to another store and saw a couple of people with arm loads full heading out of the store and the racks were empty. He knew not to come home empty handed..LOL..so he followed them out to their truck (DH is 6'4") and he said the entire back was full of LaVoz and FC ad's. Crazy.

Thanks Puffy as always. I was hoping there would be p&g this week since my last sunday paper got tossed out by my neighbour's dog sitter.

I wonder what they do with them. either they sell the coupons or it's one of those " crazy" couponers. either way, they have no morals already. plus how could the store let they take all the papers out without saying anything? If they were stopped once by security, they would stop doing it I bet.

I have done it before, not at fry's here, but at kroger, rite-aid, and walgreens in the other state i lived in. All you do is give your prescription, and they'll tell you when to pick it up. Just don't go pick it up and go to the other place that offers you the incentive you're wanting. Tell them you have a prescription already at XYZ but that you'd like it transferred to here. They'll do it for you, but of course, you'll have to wait again. It's not difficult, but they say it's best not to do it often and stick with one pharmacist because they know your meds history best. I haven't done it in a few yrs, but I don't think things have changed. HTH..

Went to the Food City closest to Ranch Pro in Mesa last Tuesday. That woman-manager (dark hair, a little on the heavier side, latino-looking) is the worst ever with cust.serv. skills. I've dealt with her twice, so I won't go there again. All I wanted was 2 ads to do ONE coke deal at fry's, but I couldn't find a single ad. I asked one gentleman and he didn't know, so he asked the "manager", and she said she didn't have anymore. I said "not a single one?", and she said "Why? Do you want it for the ad or for the coupons?" HUHHH? I'm not surprised if she thinks everyone wanting a store ad is just wanting it for the coupons to be using elsewhere, because why would anyone accept to spend their money at that store?! And I don't get these people getting all these ads, because a12pk of coke for $1 isn't that great to most couponers to be wanting 100 ads (200 12pks!!!)


On a side note, everytime I walk into fry's now, everyone has coupons in their hands, so I'm not surprised if all the food city ads or lavoz are gone nowadays. Tuesday, I was at a fry's and this other lady was doing a cereal deal, which I'm not aware of. Self checkout lady told her she could only use 3, and the lady said "So how are they able to get like $1000 worth of things on tv? How do you allow that?" Self checkout lady said "Well, they aren't supposed to let you do that!"

Check eBay for those coupons and a Phoenix seller. No one could be "using" that many coupons. The only 2 that interested me were the Cherrios and Twizzlers and I have enough of those for now.
Coupon offers on Freecycle are gone immediately. I only get the daily recap because I don't want all those mainly "wants" cluttering up my mailbox, so I never bother to respond to those offers anymore.
Altho I am not sure that that many Food City ads would have resale value since only Fry's will accept them, except Food City of course. They could be getting the pop at either place and selling at yard sales or swap meets?
My Food City LaVoz rack was empty the last couple Friday afternoons too. I did find a couple Sat morning at a site I will not menton. That site I notice has moved the LaVoz rack to be in line of sight from inside. Probably because on recent previous visits I have found all were gone on Friday.
I expect we have a lot of lurkers here and at Sheryl's taking advantage of our finds but not providing any input.

Harold, I'll agree with you about the lurkers, I was one for about 6 months cause I didn't think I had any "good" to share. (come out, come out and at least say howdy, we don't bite, much),

Quote from Desflower : Maybe someone who has success doing the pharmacy transfer thing can help, I have never done....seems like a lot of work!

I do it all the time. I would suggest first filling your prescriptions at Target when they offer the $10 for a new prescription coupon and then transfer it to Fry's for an additional $25.

I caught a lady in action (w/ long hair & dark skin, cannot tell her age, probably between 30-40s) this morning in the Chandler FC. She was right in front of me...pulled the La Voz from middle of the pile and took about 40 copies. I stared at her till her van drove away......I still cannot believe she took that many copies from the shelf. I then realized there is no insert this week so I did not get any. She drives a silver van w/ a license starting w/ ANZ-XXXX. I have not got any La Voz for 2 months already because I was always late and everything was gone. Now I know why. It only take 3 or 4 people like her to take all the newspapers. Well, I just hope people have some courtesy and let others share the Qs and savings.

Hi all!! Missed you guys. We finally sold and moved to Colorado, so no more Fry's :cry:, but still have City Market and Safeway (and finally, finally a Target in driving range ) Found a couple of things you might have your way also,
Tearpads at Wally for .50/1 Kraft BBQ (making it a mm right now) along with a .50/1 Velvetta mac & cheese (12 oz. size)
Also, the Morningstar books in the freezer section are new and there is a $1/1 Ronzoni Garden Delight on the back making it free this week.
Hoping to get back into the swing of things next week for the coming mega, (really need gas money built up, used it all traveling grrr)
Hope you all are doing good. Heard about your dust cloud, will try to read back a bit and catch up on you all.

Oh, just remembered. Pepsi 2lt part of mega next week. (.74) There are hangtags for $1/2 when you buy hamburger. May want to grab some of those also.

What do you all think is the best item to buy with this week's Fry's EQ ($3 off any Private Label Fry's or Kroger brand item) for maximum savings?

What a great question.... I am wondering this (now) too...

I was thinking a gallon of Fry's milk, but that's under $3. I wonder if their paper towels or toilet paper are a good value?
