Copps/PickNSave/Rainbow ~ Question: Wholly Salsa deal?

[kimfn]

So on CSWM someone said this did NOT work for them, and I am not sure why it wouldnt?

buy 2 wholly salsas and 2 chips.

use BOGO salsa (4/19)
1- $1/1 salsa (4/26)
2 of the $3.00 off chips WYB salsa coupons (4/19)

end with 2 salsas and 2 chips for .29 and only have to double 1 q!

she said this did not work, but using 2 $1/1's and 2 3.00 off WYB salsa did work, double both q's and pay .59 for the deal. Why wouldn't the first one work? I like it better because you only use 1 of your doubles....

I think the first scenario is too hard for cashier to process. I will tell you what happened to me. I bought two salsas and two bags of chips. First the $1/1 coupons went through because they were doubled. When the $3 coupons were scanned the register gave a message that too many coupons were used. That's because the $3 coupons share the UPC code for the salsa (without getting in decoding territory, basically they are coded for the salsa not the chips). So when you are using the $1/1 and $3/1 coupons the register thinks you are trying to use both coupon on the same product. SO, cashier and I read the $3/1 coupon and that it was supposed to be off the chips and they used their card to override the coupon and put it through.
So, that was my experience.
Now imagine,doing the first scenario. First coupon beeps for BOGO coupon. Then it beeps again for $3/1 coupon. At that point it is too much for cashier to process. An argument you will probably get is that you only "bought" one salsa and can only use one $3/1 coupon.

I wouldn't want an argument at my dear PNS! I'll just do scenario 2. this seems pretty straight forward that the $3 is off the chips so there shouldn't be much issue with an override... not worth the .30 anyway!! thanks much, Mercedes!

I've done it a few times this way-
2 salsa's and 1 bag of chips
1- $1.00 salsa (doubled)
1- BOGO salsa
1 - $3.00 chips

$2.99 salsa
$2.99 salsa
$3.00 chips
=$8.98
-2.00 (doubled $1 Q)
-2.99 (the free one)
-3.00 (chips Q)
=.99 for all three

Not as good a deal as above but I haven't had a problem yet. Salsa is on sale this week too so it would be cheaper.

This is how I did the deal and had no problems either. $.99 for 2 salsas and a large bag of chips is still a great deal!

Is this a coupon for the bogo chips/salsa??

[kimfn]
