I like the 30% off coupon that can be used on sale items! Lot's of other coupons in the ad as well...

Wilton Candy Melts are 2/$3, reg $2.99. I want to try my hand at candy-making this year, so I will pick some of these. They'll be $1.05 after the 30% coupon.

Saturday Nov 27 only - Present this coupon and with every $25 pre-tax purchase you make, you'll receive one reward card coupon worth $5 off your pre-tax purchase of $5 or more between 11/28 - 12/4.

I can't see the fine print on the 30% off Thursday coupon but from what I remember last year, you cannot apply this to the door buster sale items they have listed on that page...unless it has changed. On the top of the page it says coupons cannot be applied but maybe they've changed it (fingers crossed)! For instance the scrapbook storage for 55% off wouldn't be discounted any more would it?

I hope it DOES apply! That scrapbook storage center would be great for organizing coupons! Does anyone know the orignal price on something like that?

I just read the fine print....you cannot apply the additional coupons. That storage center is a series of stacked cubes that are purchased separately. You can stack them and/or place side by side to create a custom area. Each cube is regular $29.99, so at 55% off your looking at about $13.50 (pretax).

In addition to the cubes, they do have some very convenient storage folders, binders and boxes that would work with your coupon storage. I scrapbook so I have 7 cubes and will buy another 3-4 at this price.

Thanks for the info! I think I want at least two of these cubes with shelves and maybe one with drawers. I used to do the binder method, but I cannot keep up with it. Now I leave my coupon inserts whole until I need them. I only clip coupons when I know there is a sale or when an insert gets to the point where most of the coupons are expiring, then I will clip the ones I might use and put in a little organizer in my purse. I have tried a file cabinet/file box but the coupons would not stay flat when I pulled them from the files to cut. Currently I have them stacked by order of date in a drawer but that's not working out for me--too much wasted space and the stack is too thick to go through to find the date I want. So I might try this system instead. I figure if I get two of the cubes with three shelves I can keep just five or six weeks worth of unclipped inserts with one week on each shelf.

I just want to make sure I know which items are excluded from the coupon for additional 30% off BEFORE I make a trip on Thurs/Fri

Does it exclude only the sale items listed on the page with the coupon ( that say special buy) or do they also include other sale items that are listed for the entire weekend in the ad? How do you know which is which? Do they say special buy or door buster?

Thanks for any info as I can only see so much on my little thumbnail pic!

I too would like to know. I haven't been able to find a copy where I can zoom in far enough to read the exclusions...

The special buys and door busters say coupon cannot be applied. So the scrapbook storage that is on sale on Thursday for 55% off cannot have the coupon applied on Thursday. But it's 40% off on Friday and Saturday (not special buy or door buster) so you can add the additional 20% off coupon. Mathematically it's cheaper on Thursday with the 55% off.

Example:
$29.99- 55%=$13.50
$29.99-40%=$17.99 - 20%= $14.40
