GIANT / MARTINS ~ Post your Hershey Park cat scenarios here!

[matterninhburg]

Thought maybe we could share some scenarios here for the best oop.

Obviously, if you have the q's, the .75/1 kraft bbq sauce x 40=$9.75 However, I don't have those, and buying them off ebay would only make the deal about $7-10 less than the scenarios I can do w/ what I have and I all ready have a huge stock of bbq.

Miracle whip $1 ip
bbq sauce $1 ip
chips ahoy $2/2 tearpad for cookies and capri sun
capri sun
shredded chs $1 ip
kraft dressing .55 ranch q from food and fam mag
ritz $1 tearpad q
A1 $2 ip
ritz toasted $1 ip
planters nuts x2 $1 ip
graham crackers $1 ip
cheese singles x 2 $1/2 ip
cream chs x 3 $1.25/3 booklet q
coffee x2 $1/2 ip
=$40.01-q's =$23.66

still working on more. Does anyone know the price of the OM bacon and hot dogs?

:BigHand: Thanks for starting this thread for the scenarios! I just posted that I was going to do this, and when I looked, here it was!

Don't forget. Cool Whip is $1.19 each= 2x$1.19=$2.38 minus $1/2=.60 each

Does Martin's have a 4 like q rule here in Altoona/ Duncansville?

If so, all my scenarios with the jello gelatin aren't gonna work.

Hi,
So I figured out one deal for the Hershey park tickets, but one won't do me any good! I need 6 deals and I just don't have enough q's to do it.
I'm posting my deal here so hopefully it can help someone ;) It turns out to be $19.53 oop. (If you can use unlimited like q's--those jello q's for $1.25/1 will make a nice deal.)

Jello gelatin .49
buy 12 = $5.88
use 4 $1.25/3 q's = $5
$5.88 - $5 = .88
($5.88)(.88)
AND
Oscar Mayer bogo $3.19 for 2 packs
buy 2 packs = $3.19
use 2 $1/1 q's = $2
$3.19-$2 = $1.19
($5.88+$3.19 = $9.07)(.88+1.19=$2.07)
AND
$1.69 Kraft Salad Dressing-Reg., Light or Fat Free, 16 oz.,
buy 1 = $1.69
use .55/1 q = $1.10
$1.69-1.10 = .59
(9.07 +1.69= $10.76)(2.07 + .59 = $2.66)
AND
5/$10 CapriSun 10 pk-Reg.
buy 1 = $2
use 1 .75/1 q = $1.50
$2 - $1.50 = .50
(10.76+2=12.76)(2.66+.5=$3.16)
AND
$1.99 Crystal Light Drink Mix-8 qt.
buy 8 = 15.92
use 4 - $2/2 ip q = $8
15.92-8 = 7.92
(12.76+15.92=28.68)(3.16+7.92 = $11.08)

AND
$1.99 Kool-Aid Pre-Sweetened Drink Mix or Country Time, 12.3-20 oz. cont. or Kool-Aid & Country Time Sticks 1.34-6.7 oz.
buy 4 country time = $7.96
use 2 - 1.50/2 = 3.00
7.96-3 = $4.96
(28.68+7.96=36.64)(11.08+4.96=16.04)
AND
1 kraft parm $3.49
=40.13 before q's

msgred, does your area have a 'like Qs' rule?

I haven't experienced that rule in the 3 years I've been here, so I'm guessing not. It doesn't say anything about it in the posted coupon policy at customer service. :shrug7:

I sure hope I don't run in to that problem for the 1st time tomorrow!

So...you get the free ticket if you spend the $40.00 before coupons?

I don't think so. When the kraft dressing was part of the gas deals and the $1.50/1 q was out, I bought 100 off ebay and used 32/order and never had a problem.

I wish you the best tomorrow. Be sure to let us know how you make out. :)

In my area last year, it was before Qs. I am judging by the wording of my ad, that it is the same this year. It says that you must buy $40 worth. So if I can scrape the $ together this week, I will be going by the sale prices.

However, some other folks in other areas, reported that last year, there's was 'after Qs'.

Also, last year, the Planter's wasn't posting properly, so as a result, CS at different stores told people it was AFTER Qs,-not that their Planter's didn't add up. I think they were 'grasping at straws'. Thru HCW, we discovered it was the Planters that was the problem.

If anyone's store said After Qs, please proceed cautiously.

If your asking if they double 4 of the same coupons they dont, they only do 1. I did go down there one time and the girl doubled all of the same coupons, so i ended up getting free pretzels and free gas. Weis on the blvd doubles 4 of the same cpn
