Hi, thickbluebug here.
In this blog we will chart our journey of the deals we are chasing and the rebates we are hunting.
Tossing in some daily thoughts and tips.
Of course there will be drama too. We are couponers and someone is always trying to pee in the cornflakes - so drama is a given. Deal jealous fools trying to spoil the fun.

October Stockpile Challenge

Tough day using coupons!
Family dollar
drama
refused to take more than 1 store and 1 manq....says q that said ultra and bottle that says ultra won't work. Must be handsaver like the picture.
I argued and got 2, but not worth the time it took to trade for the q's. ACK
Of course I had the dm phone number that said I could use 2 coupons and never mentioned a quantity. I don't think 5 green and 5 blue dawn ultras was over the top when they had a display of cases...

Oct spending and update on yesterdays drama
Walmart gave me $40 cash because of my drama. yep, actually the co manager promised me a gc but when I got there bearing crts and a coupon to prove that everything scanned and I needed the override to close out the transaction not cause my coupon didn't scan - I got cash instead of a gc.

Too tired to split up publix order #2 and use another compet q.
Blowing away quantity limits @ Publix:
I had already talked to 2 managers earlier in the week about my quantities. Both said buy em all then laughed and said wait until the end of the sale.
Tues was the last day of the sale and we did buy them all.Posted 10-21-2009 at 11:48:38 AM by thickbluebug
