Pick N Save big pay back promotion 10/15/09 - 12/19/09

[chitownmelli]

I'm actually a little excited about this one.

Collect premiums for every $35 spent in a single order.

Save up:
15 for $10 gift card
30 for $20 gift card
45 for $30 gift card
60 for $40 gift card

It says that the double coupon value would not count toward your total, but I am thinking that just face value q's would, so that's pretty exciting, some of us might actually be able to participate in this one!

I never participated when the limit was $50 and I walked right past the information this morning because I assumed it was the same limit! Thanks for the info, may have to change my game plan around for the next few weeks!

Yeah, I was thinking that the $35 was doable since I am not waiting till Wed to shop any more since nothing is in stock by that time of the week.

I asked the cashier about it today and she said the # of premiums you earn is based on your total $ before coupons and after Advantage Plus card. I was happy about that. I noticed they lowered the amount to $35, but I think they increased the # of premiums you have to earn before you can cash in. I will still try to reach at least 15 though.

I'm curious to hear which Pick N Save that you're shopping at on Wednesday that is so "out of stock". I'm in Brookfield and find that the stores out here and in Pewaukee are quite well stocked on Wednesdays.

I'm in the Milwaukee area, many of the stores around here are completely OOS by Wed of any of the really good sale items.

Also, your comment sounded rude.

[Cherryblossum7]

Didn't sound rude to me. Texts can be easily misread.

Anyway, I'm having a hard time grasping how 15 premiums for spending $35 after doubled q's can be a good saving? That's less than $1 back per transaction. Can someone enlighten me?

[chitownmelli]

Maybe I'm just in a grouchy mood and misread. Sorry.

If I am understanding correctly, it doesn't have to be $35 OOP to earn a premium, just a total of $35 before coupons. And the page said that double coupon amounts will not count, so I'm guessing that the doubled portion is all they are talking about.

You're right, it's not a super fantastic deal, but it is much better than the $50 minimum to get a premium, and maybe with the holiday shopping, some of us will end up earning a gift card.

It is the same way here Mel- I have been having to get rain checks for all of the sale items lately... but since I live a block away I really can't complain I guess

I am thinking I should contact more companies in hopes of "frees" to get my total to $35

Thanks for the heads up btw.

[chitownmelli]

That's what I was thinking too, especially since they will probably have some kind of a turkey promo and we will most likely need to get up to $25 for that.

We're also a block away from one of the picks that we shop at - the weekend shopping is working nicely for us right now.

You're most welcome for the heads up, when your sale paper arrives, the full details will be on the flap :)
