Mega Sale next week.

[wookin]

Ya know, I started a thread about this very issue and really didn't get very good info. Hope someone will help us out and give us a quick and dirty or even a hint of what program to use. Is it better in word or excel, I dunno know. Anybody willing to give us a step by step so we can get this show on the road?

I dont live close to kroger but I would be willing to HELP do matchups if the ad could be sent to me early like wed or thurs.. if someone could scan it and send it to me via email or a link to view it somewhere... I tend to travel there if the sale warrants the drive and gas

When I was doing the matchups, I put the entire list in a Word doc with blanks lines between each item on the list.
Then open up the coupon database. I would shrink each window so that they were side by side. Type in each item on the list, usually only typing in the item brand. Search through all the results that come up to find the matchups that are appropriate for the item.
For whatever reason, I can not copy/paste from the cpn db.
So then I would type the coupon matchup information below each item.

Continue/repeat ad infinitum until finished.

Bold the items, red the mfg matchups, blue the store matchups. Saving along the way.
Then put them into the post on the board.

Very tedious work. My computer is a dinosaur and can barely handle the coupon database, will not copy/paste from the db - it crashes Word, and it takes forever to do all these things via internet due to my slow speed internet and slow computer. Add to that the interruptions of daily life.

I can get the early ad most weeks, there will be an occasional week where I can not. I can post the main sale items as early as I get the ad and work through the rest little by little. If those who are willing, really do want to help - maybe we could break the list into manageable sections for each instead of working on the entire list?

I could list the ad items and section them by 10s or so and each person who is willing to do matchups can post "I'll take group 1 or 2 or 3, etc"
Then post what they find and they can be combined into the list with credit due to the one who works it.

What say you?

I had heard rumors of a P&G mega sale next week...hope its a good one.

I saw the smallest bottles of Dawn were $1.49, could be an OK deal there with the right coupon.

Amys, I bet the matchups are really time consuming. I agree that just the highlights would be great before Sunday when the new ad starts. Especially when it is a mega sale. Then when the online ad is up Fri night/Sat am we could all chip in with what we think are decent deals.
