Coupon Scenario

[frugalnthemaking]

Here's my scenario:

I have 6 .50q/1 Box of Annies homegrown natural products. Annies is .49 when you buy 8 participating products, so.... is it best to buy six and get overage towards other products or get 12 boxes free?

I would say get 3 Annie's Homegrown Products because only 3 will double and get some other products to go along with it to make the 8. I frequently forget about only 3 doubles and lose savings that way.

You could break it up into two transactions if you don't want to have to go back because as said above, only 3 will double per transaction. Then, use your overage each time for your other 5 items:)

I feel for ya, on the 1 d/t ... the old store here started doing that (saying the reason was to prevent couponers from clearing shelves. We only have one Kroger in the town!) Sure made it hard to shop there, especially when they started a rule about wouldn't d/t the FIRST one on back-to-back transactions ... you can imagine how "happy" I was about THAT.
Sure was glad to see the new store open with a manager that WANTS my business!

my store won't let you do multiple transactions if you have coupons. But they will if you don't have coupons.

What is Annie's and where did you get the Q?

Coupon-friendly, huh?

I've just seen "Annie's" in the ads ... it's a "Natural" Food, probably in Health or Organic dry Foods section in the store.
Don't know where she got the Q, but there's a 50¢ tearpad Q and some $1 booklet and a peelie Q listed in the database.

It's a natural brand food, I got them at whole foods a few months back.
