Double $1 q's

Before I even considered trying to do this deal, I talked to the store manager and I asked him to read the fine print with me, and he agreed that you could double 4 $1 coupons if you made the minimum purchase of $15. Once that was out of the way, it was not that bad. The manager said when he saw the coupons there are a few hardcore couponers he was expecting, and I was one of them.

I said it was gonna be a struggle to get to $15. He didn't believe me.
OOP was $9.xx

Was pretty happy, since I didn't really NEED anything.
Juicy Juice, 2/5 on sale, then after coupon 2/3.
soda - raincheck to get me to min. purchase.
free Ken's Marinade,
free Dora Bandaids
free Diego Bandaids

Spent more than $15 total and took only 1 coupon that double up to $1. :sad:
It was not worth it for me. The lady in front spent around $40 and took 2 coupons that double up to $1. This happened in Montgomery County, MD.
My casher was a coupon policer telling the lady how many coupons she can use for her transaction. So I did not get bother to talk about "purchase and transaction."

I contacted Giant Customer Service about this and they just called me to confirm that I can use 4 doublers on one $15 transaction. They said there was some confusion amongst their store employees but an email has been sent out and they should now be properly informed as to how this promo works!

I'm going to try it tomorrow so we'll see, now if I can just find $15 worth of stuff that I want to buy!

Used my doublers today, had $1 Q for viva paper towels which are on sale for $6.99, so got 3 of them for $4.99 each. Used the other doubler with the $1 Q off Yoplait Yo-Plus, so got free yogurt.

I got free Trident gum with the .75c Q being doubled up to the price of the item which was $1.29. Apples and Pears were on sale for 99c per lb. Plus I had a Giant Home Mailer coupon for free Swiss Miss Cocoa.

Not a steal, but not too bad I guess. We needed paper towels so now my wife should be happy!

I told the store manager, if the stores want to play these "games" then I accept the challenge to play the game to the best of my ability for the benefit of my family.
