Here is a grocery scenario. Keep in mind that the coke price will not be the same everywhere, so you may have to adjust it accordingly. It is a monthly deal: spend $15 on select Coca-Cola products and get $3 (3,000 Balance Reward Points). It includes 12 pks, 8 pk mini cans, Dasani drops, and Powerade.

Looking for some other shopping scenarios this week? I have several other ideas HERE.

I like scenario 1, however, my stores insists the subtotal be $25 before coupons. Last time the ad directs you to the wags website for offer details, but I couldn’t find it on their website that addresses the issue of before or after coupons for qualification. Any help would be appreciated!!
I want to do the Coke deal but my ad doesn’t say of any points for buying it?
if I want to pay very little oop could I buy 4 Almay eye shadows at $4.99ea and 1 filler item to get me over $25 then use 4 $4 off Almay cosmetic product MQ? I would pay under $5 oop (depending on filler item) and get 5,000 Balance Reward Points making everything free??
Apparently it’s too early for math for me. lol So how about 4 Almay products $4.99ea and 1 Oral-B Pulsar Toothbrush $5.99= $25.95 – $17.50 in MQ’s = $8.45 oop + $3 RR for Oral-B and $5 for the booster coupon making it $.45 total??
Jeff – it is supposed to be like a store coupon, use this order: IVC and any other instore coupons, then points booster (it won’t take it if you aren’t at $25 req), then your manf coupons.
Ruth – I believe the coke is a month long deal and won’t show up on the ad every week. Check your signage in store!
Jennifer – As long as almay isn’t B1G1 50% and you do not use the ivc for $2 off, then yes that would be correct. If Almay is B1G1 50% you would need another $4.04 to get to at least $25 even.
Thanks Amy! I did that and it worked!,
Kelloggs are rolling.
In the first scenario, you shorted yourself the $3 RR on the oral b. That’s a money maker deal.
you can not use register rewards with these scenarios, correct?
Yes you can. 🙂 As long as you have a filler item in there for each RR you can. 🙂
