Double Daze continuing? ( NE )

[klystone]

I asked my cashier (East Green Bay) last week if she knew anything about Double Daze continuing, and she said she's pretty sure it's still going but not positive. So, before I get all excited for the deals this week, has anyone confirmed it in their stores?

I guess I should add, the reason I'm asking is because it is NOT listed in my ad for this week!

I called Copps and was told it is continued indefinitely.

My ad doesn't list it either. I remember when they used to do this and had Sunday ads, it wouldn't be listed in Sunday's paper but on Tue. there would be a small ad in the paper advertising it. Maybe this will be the case again.

Our ad for 9/21-9/27 has a little ad saying wednesdays are double days so I am taking that as confirmation that it is still going on. What are the rules? Does it have to be $25 after all coupons and picknsave card or before? Thanks!

The Cashier at Copps in Appleton told me Double Dayz will continue on every Wednesday indefinitely.

Your total must be $25 after key card discounts but before mfr coupons are taken off. So it's a good idea to save your free coupons for use on double daze if you can!

Great! I have a bunch of coupons for free 12 packs of soda and they should really help if I need it. I was so sad that I couldn't do the double coupons all summer (5 boys in a grocery store is not something I am brave enough to do!). So do you get to choose the coupons they double or do they just double the first ones on the pile? Will they double internet coupons? Sorry for so many questions. Thanks

The first five coupons rang through are the ones that get doubled, so make sure your $1 (or high value coupons) are on top. Most coupons will double (even internet ones that say "do not double")--as long as the code on the bottom starts with a "5", it will double (I hope that's OK to say on here--if not, I apologize!!!).
Don't worry about all the questions--glad to help!

Can someone explain to me the strategy you have when doing a double days? If you get 5 $1 coupons doubled, then you have gotten $10 off a $25 purchase. Do you just try to whittle the other $15 down with cents off and frees (if you're so lucky to have any)? Or is there something else you look for? Thanks!

[klystone]

That's pretty much it! I put my $1 off coupons on top, which gives me $10 off instead of $5, then (if I have any) my frees and other cents-off coupons. The last few weeks I've been able to do pretty well, spending around $10-15, and saving upwards of $40 with their sale prices and other coupons. Other ppl have done better, but there are still groceries I need to buy (like milk) that I can't get free (unless there's a deal on that).

shannonjash, you should start writing/ emailing companies that you like and complimenting them on their products. Sometimes, they send a q for a free item, and that really helps a lot on double day.

Sometimes I whittle if I do multiple orders, just to see how low I can go. Otherwise like a previous poster said; I needed butter today...2/4, Ricotta for lasagna, bread, brat buns, fruit...etc. before I know I have hit the $25 mark with things I don't have coupons for.

[shannonjash]

And the $25 total is based on the total after my saver card is scanned or before? It's before any coupons, right?

[chitownmelli]

The $25 is after store discounts (so yes, you are correct about after the card is scanned, and after any store coupons) and before man. coupons. :)

Deja vu, don't ya just hate it when you have $25 worth of stuff with no coupons. Makes me pout a little ;)

It is hard to do Melli, but there are so many things we can't live with out. I have an $800 monthly budget for my groceries, gas, and any non-necessity extras. It goes fast though when you cook a real meal for your family every night. $40 is just milk a month, $40 diapers and wipes, $30 in pet supplies, at least $50 in produce....etc. I know a lot of folks could do a lot with money, but we like real potatoes and have become accustomed to eating steak or other pricey cuts of beef several times a month.

I know what ya mean ;)
