It's buy 10 items, not $10, so look for lots of qs to make this work! I just tried to print the BC cookie mix, and it says We're sorry, but this coupon campaign
has already reached its print limit.
SO much for free cookie mix to make up part of our 10 items!!

My Krogers ROCKS! The cat machine was down (what's new!) So I went to customer service to see about the pledge deal........she looked at me and said, "Well, will two dollars back do?" Better than a CAT!

Ok, this is NUTS! Leave it to an Aol company.
I just checked shortcuts and the BC coupon is NOT there, but I promise it was there before, grrrr.

Well, for anyone wanting BC peelies, I left a ton of them at Randalls on Westheimer just inside the beltway. They are bright pink and hard to miss!

Question.. Can I mix and match prices? Do I have to by $10 at the $1.50 level to get the $5 off, and $10 at the $2.00 level and so on.... or can I mix $1.50 and $2 items to reach my $10 and still get the $5 off?

You can mix and match as long as you have 10 items total for each discount.

I found that you can mix and match between the different signs posted with different groups of items, as long as they are all the same price items. Like the items you can get for $1.50 after buying 10 items (not $10)...if you look at the paper ad, there is a group of items on the front page, and another group inside the ad. At the store, there are 2 different signs with different products for that same $1.50. I bought some hot dogs and cheese from the one sign and mixed it with Cheezits and Mini Delights from another sign. It worked.

You will have a "+" sign next to any items that count for the deal on your receipt. I didn't get it for one where I tried Frank's Red Hot Wing Sauce, because only the original Red Hot is included. I will go back when CS is there (too late to have it adjusted at store), and will exchange for the right sauce, which will make my oop .88!

At the bottom of my receipt it says "Flexible Spending Total: $8.00"
What is this and how do you use it or when can you?

[Guera]

Flexible Spending Accounts are a program that you sign up with from your employer. You have a specified amount of money set aside tax free from your paycheck and as you spend $ on eligible items throughout the year you get reimbursed out of your account when you submit reciepts for your expenses. Items usually include medical and dental copays and deductibles, otc drugs, vision expenses such as contacts and glasses, so forth. You would know if you were enrolled in one because you would have had to fill out forms for it and thye would be taking $ out of your paycheck. If you are not enrolled in one it will not affect you at all. The stores are just making it easy on people who are enrolled to know when they can submit their receipts for reimbursement.

Well, it is a little late, but I only found 10 items I wanted and yesterday I mixed items from several different price points and still got the $5 off my order.

That would really be great for another deal, as I am running out of qs for certain price points! Anyone else know if this works?
