OK here's the way it works. At WG, when something is priced less than the face value of the coupon (whether a sale price or regular price) the coupon will beep UNLESS your total item amount that the coupon is valid on is MORE than the total coupon value. That's why in my scenario I had $14.95 in Schick razors (before ESC) and $10 in mfr q's - no beeping.

Now if you were to buy, for example, two travel packs of razors for $1.98 and use the $2/1 coupon, it would beep even though it's only .02 more than the price. You wouldn't be doing anything wrong, in fact you could technically use two of the $2/1 coupons for $2.02 overage, but the coupons would beep and then you would probably have an argument on your hands LOL. Easier to just make sure that your item total is higher than the coupon total to avoid beeps and hassles.

Another example is the bandaid deal from a few weeks ago. Bandaids were on sale for .99 each, and there were $1/1 coupons out, along with .50/1, .55/1, .75/1 coupons. By using mostly $1/1 coupons with one lesser value one for the last coupon, we were able to get very cheap bandaids with no beeps. Like 10 bandaids @ $9.90 less $9.75 (9 $1/1 plus 1 .75/1) = 10 bandaids for .15 total.

Does that help it make sense?

Dana's Mom, thank you so much for this explanation! I really appreciate your time and thoroughness. The band-aid example helped me understand it.

Rep'd you!

Ok... did the price of coffee just jump? BOGO Maxwell House... 2/12.99???? Wow, thought it was like 6.99 each.. not a very good deal.. lol

Thanks guys, just ordered 60 of the schick coupons, i hope i can get a great deal on them!

On the last page of the ad there is a $2 RR for Depends. Above that it says something about adult washcloths but I can't quite read it. I think this might be a decent deal on these since there is also a $2 MFQ. I would do this:

Depends $11.99
- $2 MFQ
- $2 RR
-$1 caregivers marketplace MIR
$6.99 + tax

Kinda sad that $6.99 is the best deal I have seen on these. My grandma goes through about a package a week.

Yay!

This is a beautiful thing you've made here. The cheapskate in me is moved to tears.

I have both the 1.50 and 1.00 q's, but the IVC is for the regular "Total" and all my Q's say "Total Advanced" are these two different kinds or am I confused. If so they will not work with the 7-day as in the above scenario or are there other Q's out there that will?

I thought the same thing when I saw that. I need some coffee but at that price I can do without.

What is the size for the Colgate total?
