Here are some updates from my trip that will hopefully make your trip easier! I did a lot of driving and looking around today to get an idea of what was going on at different stores.
RITZ / NABISCO DEAL Out of all the stores I stopped in I only saw one (which happens to be my favorite store) that had actually put up the signs for the (3) Ritz substitutions. Although I would have preferred Money Making crackers, I have to say I was pleased that they offered (3) alternatives, and I really do like Triscuits. My box of Triscuits even came with seeds on the back! I purchased one box of each of the crackers today to make sure the Register Rewards printed and they did with no problems. I did not however see a box of Crackerfuls anywhere.
BC/GOODY POWDER I found these in good supply every where I went. However if you didn’t know where to look you might have missed them all together. Most of the stores I stopped in had them up from towards the Register. They are small packs of 6 but perfect to keep in your purse or for traveling. They are the only thing that gets rid of, or dulls my headaches so I am very happy about having a little pack I can toss in my purse!
ILLY CAFFE Totally hit or miss on this one. Some stores flat out didn’t carry it and others had it in the refrigerated section where you’d find the Starbucks single serve drinks.
APPLIED NUTRITION CALCIUM These are not in huge supply but I didn’t see a single person buying them, so hopefully they’ll last a while. The good news is that inside there is a little coupon book that includes a $1/1 Applied Nutrition Triple Calcium x12/31/13, making it a $1 Money Maker!
SMART RINSE/POCKET PACKS No Smart Rinse anywhere but plenty of Pocket Packs. Both varieties I tried worked for the Register Reward deal.
How Did Your Trip Go? Find any great deals? Let us know!
Here’s my scenario for 5/29. In this scenario you’d spend $4.65 out of pocket and end with $5 in Register Rewards.You’d get $30.93 in merchandise. So it’s like you are getting everything FREE (and making $.35)!
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THESE TRANSACTIONS -) You can’t have more MQ than items! -) You don’t have to do these in one day, just pick up where you left off. -) Blue are MQ, Red are Store coupons and are not included in your coupon count. -) It looks like the $2 RR should print for the substitute Ritz items (signs have been spotted!) But have both coupons handy! -) If you don’t shop Sunday or Monday take out the Ritz!
