Those can be tricky. Be careful to specify substitutes b/c if there are OOS
-and you say no substitute, making the total fall below $40, you won't get the discount
-you don't specify, they'll give you another item like yours instead of the same price/sale so your total could skyrocket
I'm not a fan of Safeway/Albertson's pick up system, it's a minefield iMHO that I'll ONLY do if there's a good discount
Target is much better, if you fall below the threshold they prorate the discount and they don't automatically substitute.

In fact, the last time I specifically chose an item they said they had in stock that I had not found in stock on multiple trips into the store. Sure enough, they were out of that item. Since it was a $9.99 item and I included two in my order, my total went well below the threshold.
I have not found Randalls system to be different than Safeway, Vons or any of the other Albertsons subsidiary. Different ads, yes, but different system processing, no.
The deal is limit one per card per week, so I'll do it again next week.

And, the small Total Home pocket pack facial tissues used to be great. They were made in the USA. Then they got cheap and had them made in China. They are smaller, less absorbent and stiffer than the prior ones and, of course, they've really jacked the price up. You can get Kleenex on sale at Target for less at a better quality. And I'd stay away from their digital oral thermometers. We got one that ended up in the trash as it basically quit working after a few uses.

Is this one of those horrible tangles to get out of?
