RA did a DD this Saturday. The prices didn't change to the new ad prices but you got the points from both the old deal(s) and the new deal(s). If the item(s) you're getting were points deals for both weeks, you got points for both deals. If you didn't max out on the new deal, the limit reset on Sunday so it's like you didn't do it. This is incredible especially with the starting points promotion. Who knows how long it will continue or if it will continue. I'm wondering if you've already maxed out the starting points deal for this week if the starting points deal for next week will kick in on Saturday and you can do another deal and then it will reset on Sunday and you can do 2 more starting points deals for the new week.
I did not get the P&G bonus for $30 of P&G items purchased on Saturday. It was available on Sunday but if I had already hit the limit on the starting points deal on Saturday, all I was able to do on Sunday was one P&G deal for 1000 points.
My conclusion is don't max out the new deals on Saturday. If the limit is 2 just do the deal once and hopefully the limit will reset on Sunday.
The RAQ in the paper for Gillette razors was beepless on the disposables on Saturday but beeped on Sunday. The $3 Gillette razor mq is beepless on most disposables (but beeps on the Mach 3) and beeps on the non-disposable razors. This is only at RA. It scans fine everywhere else. I noticed that some P&G mq's are beepless at one RA store but will beep at the next RA store. I don't understand this at all.

This isn't my deal but it's worth repeating. If you have the bogo fragrance crt from last week (I got 2 on most cards), there are some non-designer fragrances that are bogo this week making them free. I haven't done this deal myself yet.
The Tide/Pantene deal limit is 2.
The Revlon peelie beeps on nail polish but is fine on mascara. Nail polish is a mm if you have the $2 Revlon crt from last week and the $3 one that printed today. Both of these Revlon crt's are generic and should print on every card.

So I know where you're coming from. But even if you have a large house and a garage and/or shed to store all this excess crap in, is it REALLY worth it in the end? I mean, REALLY?
The only time I think I was ever really frustrated was when a lady manager at Circuit City essentially blocked me from buying any of the clearance games I had brought up to the registers because obviously somehow I must've hacked their system to get the much cheaper prices to pop up. No way in hell it could've been that her pricing teams weren't keeping up with the markdowns and they failed to re-sticker the games. It HAD to be that I was magically hacking their system or had inside knowledge somehow.
I reported her via a survey when I got home and they sent me a $50 gift card for my time and trouble.

Yet every last one I've gone to within the last 5 years or so I would see people walking out with bags full of crap and just have to snicker about what they probably overpaid for those items.
Yet 10 or more years ago I remember being at a mall in NJ(Paramus or Parsippany I think) and the Sam Goody store in there was closing. There was NO ONE in there at all, it was the final day of business and they looked like they had probably 50% of their stock still.
Surprisingly I passed up checking out what they had. I just felt I had too much crap at that point already and didn't need anymore. Plus I figured there was nothing really GOOD left by that point.
Sorry, you're here...
It's the Podium they should fear.
