Nice job! What an interesting rule about doubling to half your order. Does that mean they will only let you use coupons to take off half of your pre-coupon price???

[scentednights2002]

It means they will only double coupons until you get to half the price of your order. So if your order before coupons came to $100, they will double until you get to $50 and then coupons are at face value.

I hate it personally :)

Took an unexpected trip to Rite Aid today for decongestant for my husband who has an inner ear infection. Sudafed $7.99 - $1.00 c/o - $2.00 SCR = $4.99 which is $1 cheaper than the generic.

Not free but better than the alternative.

Had a good mail day today. I've been emailing companies asking if they have mailing lists for sending out coupons. A few of them just basically said sorry no but a number of them sent me out coupons. Got frees from McCain, Orchard Juice. Got c/o from LaChoy, Meow Mix, Mystic Pizz, etc.

I got a number of samples of tea as well by emailing tea companies - Stash, Good Earth, Wisdom of the Ancients.

12/10 - Rite Aid

In the latest sales circular is a .99c off any Scotch Wrapping Paper. It is on sale for .99c so final cost free. This is nice & heavy duty & reversible.

White Rain Stylers are .99c and there is a .99c SCR as well so final cost is free. I chose the hair spray since I'm out.

While I was there, I checked out the wine/beer aisle & noticed that some boxes of Miller beer had a peelie for $10 back when you buy any $20 GC. You must be 21 FYI. So I bought a $20 GC and used it to pay for my order. Will send in the rebate and get $10 back. No beer purchase required.
