A&P ~ possible double dip on NVG bars and BC fruit snacks

[savinmaven]

The Bonus Bucks next week include a B$30G$8 for GM products, including Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks ($1.50) and Nature Valley Granola Bars ($2.50).

While stocking up on the Lean Cuisine with BBs today, I got a Cat printout referring to an additional Cat deal during the same time period (actually 8/14-9/6.
NVG
Buy 3 get 1.50
Buy 4 get 2.50
Buy 5 get 3.50
There are also .70 coupons from a recent insert.

BC Fruit Snacks
Buy 3 get 1.50
Buy 4 get 2.50
Buy 5 get 3.50
There are recent coupons for these also.

5 of each would be over $30 shelf and would cost:
$7.50 + $12.50 = $20 -$8 - $3.50 - $3.50 = $5 without coupons. Use coupons and they should be overage, free, or very cheap. Too bad they don't take printables:shrug7:

For those of us who pillaged Acme last week and got paid to take home product, including the Q-Tip and Dove double dips which paid me $36 alone the past couple of weeks, this isn't much for us to get excited about. The fruit snacks will be good for the kids going back to school though.

Ok guys, our ad states 4/$6 on the fruit snacks MUST BUY 4 lesser or additional quanities 4/$10. Ummmm can I buy 8 for $12? or would that be $16..

I want to do..

8 fruit snacks=$12
5 Nature Valley=$7.50
total=$19.50
-$4.00(4 $0.50/2 doubled BC Fruit Snack Q)
-$2.80(2 $0.70/2 tripled Nature Valley Q)
-$1.50(1 $0.50/1 tripled NV Trail mix Bar Q)
=$11.20

now can someone confirm that this would get me to $30 shelf price and therefore I get the $8.00 OYNO?

-$8.00 OYNO=$3.20???

Thx

I bought 5 of them. My receipt shows all the fruit snacks as $2.99 which would be $14.95. Then it deducted "SC 6469 $BC Fruit SN 2 @ $1.79$2.45-" and "MC $BC FRUIT SN $4.00-". $14.95-$6.45=$8.50. Looks like the first four were 4 @ $6.00 then the fifth was $2.50. I haven't tried 8 at a time, but doubt the second $4.00 would come off. Also because of tripling and Big Y double dollars you're better off splitting in to 2 transactions.

If you also grab an Easy Solutions magazine from customer service (out of stock on Main St, so go to Exit 6/Burlington - we shop the same area in case anyone cares) there is a $.75 NV store coupon. Can only use one per transaction, register will reject any additional.

You're actually fine on the shelf price $30. You only need 5 of each to hit it. Fruit Snacks 5 @ $2.99 = $14.95 and Granola Bars 5 @ $3.69 = $18.45. Total is $33.40, but because you bought the 5 of each you'll get $3.50 + $3.50 + $8.00 in cats.

Thank you.... I don't have any Q's that are $1.00 so how will the doublers come into play? That is the Padanaram store, that is the one I usually go to anyway, so whoohoo. Thanks for the help, I usually just go to get the circulars to use at shoprite... I will have to start paying more attention.

Well Duh you mean if I have anything else to buy to use the doublers on....Jet lag sorry.

Nabisco/Capri deal is awesome if you have the $1/1 multi packs = $4 for 2 multi packs and 2 Capris. Also check your inserts against the $20/10 deal. Some of my inserts were $1.00 for Windex, Scrubbing Bubbles, Ziploc, etc. Got to be a mm combo for you there too. Back to work now. :sad: Happy shopping! Just leave some for me cause I'm not done yet!

You might want to adjust the Fruit Snack quantity or adjust the math because you must buy 4 to get the slae price. I think anything more or less cost more. SOmebody else pointed this out on either the A&P or Superfresh forum.

Small math error in your favor! 2 $.70/2 tripled would be $4.20, not $2.80.

There is also a store coupon in the new Easysaver mag for .75/1.
