Happy shopping

Walgreens deal this week

I made a run to Walgreens (since a register reward was expiring) but didn't find too much that interested me in their ad this week. Maybe because my home stockpile is quite large!

Anyway, I did partake in one deal as follows:

Buy 1 Hershey 6 pk $3

Buy 1 Honey Maid Graham $3

Get 1 free Marshmallows (store deal)

Subtotal is $6, but use the $1 MQ from this past weekends paper to get all the makings for S'Mores for only $5! Sounded good to me!

Pierce's and internet coupons

I'm not sure if I mentioned this yet....

Pierce's now accepts internet coupons up to a $2 value! This is major since so many coupons are available over $1!!!

They still will not take any internet coupons that are for a free item, or a buy one/get one free item.

At least this is an improvement!

FRAUDULENT COUPON ALERT

This fraudulent coupon is circulating locally AND nationally. Please check to make sure you do not have this coupon.

Usually when a coupon seems too good to be true- it usually ist. Using this coupon hurts all of us. The store where it is used has to eat the cost of the items. When a store loses money, they tend to tighten up their coupon policies and are less likely to accept internet coupons. I know a good deal is hard to pass up, but we must be sure to use our coupons the right way.

If you have any questions about this issue, be sure to check out the Frito Lay website FAQ's here.
