Vons Weekly Ad 9/16-9/22

[vcasares]

I made my first trip today and got my capri sun cat. I think there is a new coupon on shortcuts too for $.55 off capri sun. At the store the capri sun was tagged for the deal, but it does not show online anywhere:shrug7:. The nature valley nut clusters were not tagged and I was too chicken to try it out. I hate messing with CS if something goes wrong.

I read on another site that the NVC are working for the $4 off but the capri sun cat isn't printing with them. People have been able to go to customer service to get the cat but if it isn't tagged they they might not try and get the cat for you.

Good Job!

I know this has been asked, but can you use the Shortcut and Cellfire and mq or ip q's all together? sounds too good to be true. I have the Shortcut q's loaded onto my Vons card and I have the cocoa puffs IP and that's what I planned on using, but I am getting confused when I see the posts saying all 3. Can someone clarify for me? Tysm

Yes, you can use all three together. But it is hit and miss though to redeem a cellfire AND shortcuts for the same item. Sometimes it works, and other times it doesn't. Nature Valley granola bars would be an item that works for both ecoupons.

Also, if you have multiple coupons loaded on shortcuts for the same item, sometimes all coupons will get deducted for only one item (again, Nature Valley granola bars would be an example). I bought one box yesterday, and got $.40 deducted twice from shortcuts, $.40 deducted for cellfire, and my $.40 IP doubled! Moneymaker!

I have another question: Do the shortcut and cellfire coupons stay on your card until the expiration date? Can you do more than one transaction with those q's coming off each time? Or is it a one time thing? I want to do the NVC again because I only paid $.20 for 4 bags this morning!

[vcasares]

Most of the time they are just one time use. You might want to check your account, there might be more coupons available to load on though:shrug7:

Well, I just used it this morning about an hour ago and I checked shortcuts and cellfire and the coupons still say "added." So, I don't know if it hasn't processed yet or if I can use it again. I am going to take my chances a little later and try again because Vons is in the same parking lot as my job, so it's just a matter of walking across the parking lot. :) TY for your help vcasares

Just an FYI, I tried to do the Nature Valley this morning--two granola bars, two nut clusters--and it didn't take off the $4. I wound up not getting any Nature Valley but no one could find the keys to open the drawer to get my coupons back. Sigh... At least they were mostly ones I have duplicates of, but I could have done without the embarrassment! Oh well, trial and error, right? :shrug7:

No problem. Hope it works for you. Sometimes if you do multiple transactions close together, shortcuts doesn't know that you already redeemed your coupon and lets you do it again. I don't like to take my chances on that though.

I'm sorry to hear that it didn't work out. I think if you couldn't get your coupons back, you should have at least got cash/store credit instead. It's not right that they are going to redeem your coupons and get paid by the manufacturer (when there wasn't even a purchase). That's why I am scared to buy promo items that are not tagged. If it doesn't work out it's a pain in the neck to get it fixed, and there's not really any proof that you bought the correct items. And in your case you lose your coupons. So sorry:sad:
