    I got
    1 Lysol liquid
    1 Lysol toilet
    1 Lysol Spray
    Yoplait yogurts
    4 Honey Nut Cheerios
    4 French's Onions
    2 Mahatma Rice
    1 No Yolks
    1 Grill Mate

    Paid $6.64
    Received $5 FRC
    Total saved $45.31

    I considered the kelloggs cereals that were free but I have noticed no one eats them anymore. Not sure why...And I would rather use my 20Q on foods for my family rather than buying stuff to donate right now. Don't need the donate speech.

    My trip:

    3 puffs with lotion cubes
    3 taster choice coffees
    1 pepperidge farm cinnamon swirl bread
    2 scott wipes
    1 splenda cafe sticks
    1 colgate toothbrush, professional
    2 mahatma jasmine rice
    4 lipton onion mushroom soup mixes
    2 mccormick grill mates
    1 lawry's seasoned salt
    1 silk soy milk
    1 sobe life water (no coupon but needed a filler)
    3 renuzit adjustables

    OOP 1.98 after qs and $10 FRC
    Total savings 45.49 (including FRC)

    I also got a coupon for FREE pack of the coffemate creamer (box). Which is pretty cool because I was thinking about getting one when I was picking up the coffee but decided against it as I had no q.

    You know, I really don't like the fuzzy math of Lowe's and how they do the tripling at the end of the order so you can't really see which coupon matches with what. I used 20 q's this morning and just noticed that only 18 tripled. But I can tell I rec'd overage on a few that I could match up with the corresponding items- I think that's what messes things up. It will stop tripling once you get overage...

    I agree it is more confusing. I didn't get overage on anything but it looks like cmricha2 did. I can figure out on my receipt and I am happy with what I got and got what I expected but it does take longer to make sure it is right and requires a pen and marking on the receipt to keep track and not loose count.

    When my order was being rung up (coupon portion) and they were only doubling I asked about that and the cashier told me that because it's only 3 days long, they do it that way (single credit separate at the end for each) because it's easier to program.

    And yes, it does make for watching the coupons triple much harder.

    But I'll take it

    They have always done it that way though, atleast the last times they did it (2 years ago+). I can remember being at Uscan (back when they allowed coupons at uscan) and questioning it when I scanned my coupons, they said it comes off at the end.

    I won't list everything I got, but I spent $9.34 and brought home $52.93 in groceries And I splurged on some items that I didn't have coupons for too, so I am very pleased!

    I have already entered my receipts into my spreadsheet and put them away and lord, but if my life depended on it I don't think I could recall exactly everything I bought this morning at 8am

    Needless to say, I was pleased as punch.

    OH! Folks that buy the Scotties wipes - don't forget those 75/1 coupons inside those packages (actually just under the clear wrap on the top) and then you can roll those out again and again and get them free with those!

    I'm hoping to maximize those during these triples events and get as many as I can. They won't go bad!

    I have a ton of these from last HT triples. They might dry out a little since I had to take off the plastic to get the peelies, but I figure you can just add a little water to them and they'll be fine.

    If the Scott Naturals catalina didn't require you buy different products, I'd be rolling in OYNOs.

    What a great surprise! I was able to go this afternoon and got Sun Chips, Colgate toothbrushes, Mahatma rice, No Yolks, Vanity Fair napkins and Betty Crocker cake mix/icing. My total was $6 and I saved $44! Plus I got $2 FRC.
