Has anybody tried buying cereal for the General Mills deal. Do regular prices contribute to your total?

Watch your Wholly Guacamole when you scan it, my spicy salsa rang up at $2.99, but the mild rang at $.99. Thankfully I realized it before I left the store! Yeah for free salsa!

Did Customer Service adjust the overcharge on the spicy salsa? Or is the spicy salsa not on sale?

Why does this happen, that shelf prices work for some, but not for others? Are individual stores able to program their cash registers to not work on shelf prices?

The spicy was on sale, so was the Guacamole (they were out of it), all 4 types that my store sold were tagged $.99. I went through the self-checkout and noticed that they rang up differently, and that it didn't adjust down after I scanned my card, so before I paid, I got a customer service person to come over. She brought my transaction over to her register, and she adjusted it before I paid. ACTUALLY, she gave me one free and then marked the other down by $2.00 using a raincheck (?). I didn't realize it until I got home, but I know it wasn't an accident. She is a super nice girl, so maybe it was for my troubles?? I don't know, but I appreciate it!

No, they are not, otherwise, their labor costs would be astronomical. THere would be no sense in them having a chain.

There are generally several things that can go wrong:

1. A flavor/variety of an item won't be programmed
2. The machine will be not working (not the case here since JCooper got the GM Deal ok)
3. The store was off line (again, can't be the case since JCooper got the GM deal)

So, according to my logic, it must be that one or more of hte flavors/varieties of potatoes/pizza isn't programmed. When that happens we can often figure it out by comparing notes about flavors/varieties that work or don't work.

JCooper - exactly what types of McCains/Elios did you buy?

If you're in South Jersey and in case you're short on coupons,
there is a $3/5 Quaker products manufacturer coupon in the Thriftway circular this week.

The McCain potatoes that I bought were 2 curly spicy fries and 2 smilies. I also got two of the Elios cheese pizza. Not sure which ones aren't working.

The Utz chips are actually $2.50 for 3 bags, a little better than advertised. Today is the last day.

I got the McCain deal to work with 2 steak fries, 2 classic cut fries, and 2 Ellios Supreme Pizza's. Regular shelf price was $20.14, sale price $10.07 and got $5 BB. Watch your expiration dates on the LOL cheese slices. Usually I can find dates 4-6 months out, but yesterday every package expired sometime in February. A few had stickers to mark them half price, but not all. I'm hoping another store has some with better dates - there's no way I can eat that much cheese that fast :)) Has anybody done the GM deals with Honey Nut Cheerios?
