Ok...I still think that the items you posted about are HBA, not grocery OR drug items.

I agree. I do think that the shampoo & deodorant is HBA should be included in the $25 minimum regardless of what it is called.

Really I am just cranky because my Kimberly Clark cat didn't print.

Mine didn't either, but the wonderful customer service lady put the $14 on a gift card for me. Did you try asking them to do that?

I'm sorry but to me all HBA falls under drug items.

Wait...quoted from the email I received:

Grocery and drugstore items include: all food
items, health & beauty, baby diapers, household cleaning supplies,
detergents, paper goods, shampoos and other beauty items, over the
counter medicines such as Tylenol, aspirin, etc. The $25 minimum is
before tax and coupons.

Thanks for clearing that up! I was beginning to wonder if I had done something wrong on Sunday when I did my shopping trip.

Thanks for the clarification. I got 2 Qs on my receipt--one was $5/$50 grocery & drug and the other was $5/$25 health & beauty. Makes you wonder why it's worded that way if they consider health & beauty part of grocery & drug.

My experience at the LA store yesterday was kind of bizarre. At the register, the manager was standing right there. He saw my coupons (10 for doubles and then 3 more for singles), and he told me there was a limit FOUR coupons. I said, "Oh sir, really? I had read it was 10?" (in a nice voice). He said, "It's 4."

Then he paused...and he said, "But you can do multiple transactions." This was unlike anything else I had read! And then even though I had 13 coupons and he'd just stated a policy contrary to this, he let me do the second 9 coupons in one transaction and doubled them all.

It was odd but I was certainly thankful for the super doubles at all; I've never experienced super doubles before.

GREAT NEWS! At least in the Cincinnati & N. KY area there doesn't seem to be any stipulations! Altho the ad says there is, it apparently is not being enforced from folks I've spoken to. And yesterday I was at K-mart & only purchased one item (Huggies Pull-ups), gave them my $2. coupon & they dbl'd it & subtracted $4

Like a PP mentioned, there was something about the $25 stipulation in my ad and it said more info on page 2. However, I didn't bother getting a paper on Sunday so I don't have a hard copy of the ad, just the online one. And it's pretty hard to ascertain all info from that.

So thanks to cheynesnana for the clarification. :) That fits right into the Pull-Ups/Easy Ups I'm planning on buying. And I'll be over the $25 total even after coupons so it should be a no fuss trip for me.
