How Much Can You Stockpile for $5 - Winner picked!!! Finally!!! SLcollins!!!

hotcouponmama · 07-01-2008, 07:27:52 AM

Ok, here's the contest. You have between July 1 and July 31 to do your best $5 shopping trip.

Receipts cannot exceed $5. To participate, you need to scan and upload your receipt to this thread so we can see what you got. Note that you can have more than one receipt from more than one store, as long as the total remains under $5 in total.

The member with the highest total value savings on their receipt will win an Amazon.com GC. Highest value total will be calculated as:

Retail price - sales/card price - coupons = Net cash price.

The member with the highest retail value of merchandise for under $5 cash OOP is what we're looking for. OYNO coupons will count as a coupon to bring your OOP down.

One entry per person. So if you do a trip, and then you do a better one later, you can change entries, but only one entry counts.

Good Luck, and have fun!

Do we count tax? Some states tax everything- even coupon savings!

So If I have
10 items at kroger on july 5th for $1 and 43 items on july 28 at krogers for $4 I can submit them both to = my $5 ?

Yes, multiple receipts are ok - they just can't total more than $5 combined. And then say you have a better one on July 31st, you can redo the one from the 5th cause now it has 15 items for $1 instead of 10. Hope that makes sense.

So catalina coupons count in the transaction I use them in, not the one I earn them in, correct?

I hope so, because I have some really good receipts for today.

Yes, the would deduct off the trip you're using them for - the object being lowest OOP under $5 with as much stuff/value as you can get for it!

Question: It can be any type of stockpile, like CVS, Wags, etc and doesn't just have to be groceries, correct?
