My Daytona Plan

[Tracyinks]

OK, here it goes........

My plan is to maximize the BC Fruit Snack Catalina, and to use a nice tear pad q that is $3.00 chicken w/5 kraft items.

Lord knows I don't need BBQ sauce but I am going to set today's batch out in the breakroom for all the nurses to take.

Trans 1

6 Fruit Snacks 1.99 (after promo)
5 BBQ .69 (after promo
1 bag of chicken breast 5.97

Using:

3 $ .50/2 q for snacks
5 $ .50/1 q for bbq
1 $3.00 off chicken tearpad q
$3.50 cat (earned last week)

$21.36 before q's
OOP= $6.86 before tax

and not forgeting I will earn another 3.50 cat for the FS.

I had really hoped the popcorn was in my ad, but it wasn't.. I'm hoping its on the deal at the store.

Thanks for the post. I'm getting 16 boxes of fruit snacks and I totally forgot about the catalina. I'll have to split my order up too. I plan to make a few trips anyway.

I'm getting ready to go and check out the Orville Redenbachers and Purex. They weren't in my ad either. I'll let you know what I find out.

Ok, so I just got back from Gerbes aka Dillons/Kroger. Here's the list of items they had in the deal, but not in the ad.

Banquet chicken nuggets for $4.69 - $1q from ConAgra mailer = $3.69.
Purex laundry detergent 32 load bottle $2.69 - $.35q = $1.99
Orville Redenbachers 3-4 ct boxes $2.20 - $.50q = $1.20, even better if you have $1 SC q.
Lucky Charms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Multi Grain Cherrios are also included w/ the GM cereals $2.36...I got 2 Lucky Charms for $.81 each after using $.50 IP and $.55 CF.

I also found the Sunny D Smoothies are included in the 10/$10 sale, so you can get it free w/ the $.55q.

I decided to split up my BC fruit snacks into 4's. After I broke down the prices, this seems to be a slightly better deal. Of course, if you have the cellfire and shortcuts q's it's an even sweeter deal.

Ex 6 @ $1.99 = $11.94 - $3q's= $8.94, so $1.49 each, figured w/ $3.50 cat, they're $.91 each.

4 @ $1.99 = $7.96 - $2q's = $5.96, so $1.49 each, figured w/ $2.50 cat, they're $.87 each.

I'm still pretty new to using coupons. I love Dillons with doubling coupons. What exactly is the chicken tearpad? I have never heard of that. Also, I have a question on cellfire coupons. Do they work only for 1 item, or can you buy several at the same time and it takes it off on all? Do they dissappear after you use it, or can you use the same one until they expire? Thanks.

I did my deal, but had big problems with the Kraft bbq sauce not wanting to scan.. I THINK it was because of the overage.

My second trip I got

6 Fruit Snacks
4 Hefty OneZip (participating)
1 TGI Friday taquito on clearance 1.89

3 fs q's = 3.00
4 Hefty = 4.00
also 3.50 catalina

OOP $12.32
and earned another 3.50 cat

I opened all of my Fruit by the Foots and Fruit Roll Ups lastnight. I had a $5 GC in one of the Fruit Roll Ups. I've won one of these before and I've purchased about 30 of them! Odds aren't too good, but thought you might want to try buying the ones that may have a chance at $5 GC on the box.

Welcome to couponmom! I think the chicken tearpad must be a regional thing. I haven't seen one here. As far as the cellfire and shortcuts go, it's one per item. You can however, use a manf q and still get the CF or SC q to come off. I've read where some people buy one product and if they have the same q saved for both CF & SC, that both q's would come off. This is not the case for me though. And they do disappear, ususally w/in a few days.

Hope that helps you out!

Thanks. That helps. I also don't understand how it works when I have a supercuts and cellfire coupon on my card. Which one is chosen first? It seems like the cellfire. I have been able to use cellfire & coupons and got some good deals. My best one was free dog treats, as I had a cellfire coupon for $2.50 of Dentastix and a paper coupon for same amt. The item cost 4.70 or something like it. I might have paid a couple of cents in tax, but it was almost free.

I agree that was a good one! I got 4 packs of those Dentastix and made money on them. Mine were $4.79 - $2.50 IP - $2.50 CF.

I have no idea which q they take off 1st, but mine seem to be the lowest value 1st then on up.
