Vons-$10 coupon when you buy $25 of P&G

[ctorao]

I see this in the ad, has anyone tried this?

Since the Crest toothpaste is on sale right now and with the BOGO q's for the Febreze and Tide, I wonder if this was a good deal???... I do not have a vons near me, but will drive out to one if this is a good deal, I am looking to stock up on paper towels and bathroom tissue...

I haven't tried it yet, but I'll probably do the deal once. It is not ANY P&G products, it is only certain types like Tide, Febreze, Charmin, Duracell, Mr. Clean, Gain, etc. If you look online at Vons.com you can look up each product you are interested in, and it will say "buy $25 save $10" (if participating). Maybe you can make printouts of what you want in case the product is not tagged at the store. That way in case something goes wrong, you have proof that it is a participating product. It would be a total bummer for you to drive all the way there and not get the deal...

I think it is a great deal if you happen to need TP and PT right now. I'm not so sure it is a stock up price though unless you are brand loyal. There are opportunities to get these or other brands cheaper or free, but they don't come around too often.

So maybe I should wait then. They have something similar at Smart & Final where you buy certain products for $20 and they take off the bill $5, but I am not so sure that is a good deal also, I was thinking I had $1 q's for angel soft but I don't..

Honestly, I am getting some Charmin myself, but only because I need it. I missed the boat on a couple of good deals and am regretting it. For me I don't like to pay more than $.25 per double roll. Maybe I just got spoiled by all the free Angel Soft and Cottonelle in the past . But hey, TP is not like something you can go without either

I went last week on Thursday and the toothpaste was all gone! But it was not included in the deal anyways.

Here is what I did:

7 Dawn Direct Foam dish detergent @ $2.49= $17.43 - (7) $1.50 MQ from Home Made Simple home mailer - .50 eQ from PGesaver

1 Bounce dryer bar $4.99 - $1 in-ad Q - $1.00 eQ from PGesaver (wish I would've waited for sunday's paper to use the $1MQ )

1 Downy Ultra fabric softener $4.99 - $1 MQ - .50 eQ from PGesaver

Total before Q's = $27.41 - $14.50 MQ & eQ

Total after Q's = $12.91

Plus I got back the $10 OYNO so it was like paying $2.91 for all of the above

you did great, unfortunately, i don't have all those q's :(

I have a hot deal to post on this promo. I can confirm this works, I am in Orange County and just tried it. I noticed that there was a sign on the Mr. Clean that said $1.99 each wyb 3 or more. I decided to take a chance and buy some since I remember some promos in the past credit the full price. The full price was tagged at $3.99.

So this is the idea:

buy 7 Mr. Clean with Febreze (large bottles, no trigger)
7x3.99=$27.93
-7 $1/1 any Febreze q (2/7 P&G) (ymmv on using over 2 q's)
-14 ($2x7 discount wyb 3 or more)
Total: $6.93 plus tax and get $10 cat!

The tags said this promo is until 3/2, and the special price is until 3/14, so we have time to do this again!

For those of you that are doing these deals, don't forget to save your receipts for the P&G coupon MIR. The MIR says that you must purchase $50 worth of any P&G products between 02/01/10 and 04/15/10 (before tax and coupon discounts :shrug7: ) in order to receive over $100 worth of P&G coupon savings by mail, so it might be worth your time to hang onto your receipts.

The MIR also came out in the 2/21/10 PG insert as well as in P&G mailers.

Wow! All the vons by me limit you to two like coupons. Where in the OC? It might be worth the drive down there LOL

In peace,

Thanks for reminding me of that, Annye. I didn't personally use 7 coupons, I only had 2 on me, so I did that. I have asked different managers at the two stores I regularly shop at what the rules are about like coupons. I have heard limit 2, limit 3, limit 4, and "whatever". I try to be conservative and only use 2 at a time because I never know which cashier I'll end up with. I only posted that scenario for the people out there that might be allowed to use that many like coupons. Since I have never gotten a straight answer even from corporate on the limit, I guess anything over two will have to be YMMV. I'll update my scenario, thanks.
