Bloom ~ Brag: Use this thread to post all your Bloom triples final cost.

[sostinkinhappy]

Prices are listed at value after triple coupon is deducted. The Thai Kitchen & Ronzoni both gave overage (yahoo!!!). My Bloom allows overage to cover the sales tax - the only caveat is that they won't give cash back if it goes in the negative.

(5) Ronzoni Pasta @ -.49 = $2.45 overage
(5) Thai Kitchen Noodle Bowls @ -.25 = $1.25 overage
(10) Dole Pineapple @ .18 = $1.80
(2) Scrubbing Bubbles @ .50 = $1.00
(3) McCormick spices FREE after Q

Total before coupons = $40.91
Total OOP after = .12 (Thanks to the overage from the Thai Kitchen Noodle bowls & the Ronzoni pasta)

this is strange. I've been once and i got no overage. I had overage but the store didn't give it to me.
13 thai noodles .79 (.50/1 tripled) = free (overage of .71 per item?)
2 air-nerds candies .79 (.55/1 tripled = free (overage of .86 per?)
2 breyers 6 pack disney yogurt 2.50 (.75/1 tripled = .25)
my final bill was .60
.25 + .25 for the 2 yogurts and .10 tax (1% of the total value of the coupons - 13 x .50 = 6.50 + 2 x .75 = $8 + 2 x .55 = $9.90 + the 1% tax on the 2 yogurts)

so no overage on my order.
anyone know why?
(on the nerds and Thai there would have been overage without triples, except that Bloom does not double. I guess I should have used those coupons at stores that double and give overage)
I did not think Bloom gave overage.

Can anyone tell me if blooms has a limit of like coupons? For instance, if I have 20 Viva coupons, can I use all of them in one order or is there a limit of 4 like coupons like at other stores?

[acacm]

I used 10 like coupons for my order today with no problems. My Bloom in Seneca, SC, however, does not allow overages. They also would not give a raincheck on items they were sold out of and allow me to use the triple coupons. Does anyone know if there is a Bloom in Upstate, SC that does allow overages?

[carolinagirl320]

We shop in Seneca as well, and they do give overage if the item is on sale for less than the tripled coupon value and give overage to allow for up to the regular price of the item. We got overage on our Cocoa puffs.

We are all done shopping at Bloom this weekend - it was a blast! DH even saw how much fun it is to get all that food for such a deal. It is such a blessing for all of us who have been affected by the economy and layoffs, job losses, etc. Let's keep doing it right so they keep doing it every month!

I used 13 Thai noodles yesterday.
The 4 limit at Lowes drives me crazy.

2nd and final trip due to lack of coupons and coupon-sales matchups.
3 pillsbury biscuits .75/3
2 yo-crunch yogurt (2.50) 75/1
1 breyers ice cream (3.00) .75/1
1 vanity napkins (1.59) .50/1

1 Snyder sun flower chips (?) .75/1
total before coupons close to $18.00
after coupons $3.12

see you next triples and remember:
if you and I are looking at the same item on the shelf and there is only 1 left, I'll give you the evil eye, until you agree that we both walk and let someone else take the last one on the shelf.

[barretsmommy]

20 Viva - .12 each
20 Uncle Ben's long grain and wild rice - free

[acacm]

On my receipt, the tripled coupon amount was adjusted to match the price of the item-not allowing overages...for instance, I purchased a No Yolks Pasta for 1.85....I had a coupon for .75..and the tripled amount is $1.10...is it because it was a regular priced item?

[kmbrly]

1 Uncrustable
1 French's mustard
