1) Is 15% off the retail, sale or post coupon, or post bonus bucks?
Since the certs have no UPC code, you will not be able to scan them and the cashier will have to enter the code, even if you do SCO. IME, they are told that this should be scanned at the very end after card scan and coupons. I'm not sure about the BBs because I've never had them when doing a % off deal. They should be allowed after because they are just like cash, but YMMV,
2) The certificates have a no upc, but instead a unique numerical code. The certificate doesn't mention any restriction. Do you think I can use a $5/40 Store Q on my order?
Yes, they should scan fine if your total shows $40 or more before scanning. This would be done before using the % off coupon though.
3) Any game plans anyone would like to suggest?
It's hard to tell until we see the ads for the week. Maybe they will have a Kraft deal and a Kellogg's deal with good sale prices. :hectic1:
Usually there are great coupons the week before and after a Holiday to make up for the no coups on the Holiday.
4) Do you think you could split your 5% certificates over 3 orders instead of combinging them? I ask because $5/40 is 12.5% off of $40. I think perhaps I would maximize the 5% by splitting into 3 12.5%+5%=17.5% orders. Of course, if I exceed $40 my % value would decline...humm...
This would almost certainly not work, but you can use each one of your 5% certs on separate orders.
Oh...I hope we have a good sales ad next week!
