10% gift card bonus at Acme

This the last week to get the gift card bonus at Acme. If you buy a $300 gift card, they’ll give you an extra $30. A good deal if you have the cash on hand.

Remember–studies show that consumers are less likely to care about prices when paying with a gift card, so be just as savvy and frugal when using it.

Kimberly Clark deal at Acme

I saw it on some boards that the KC deal at Acme (buy $20 get $5 oyno) is working with shelf prices. There also are some recent coupon inserts to correspond with these items. I don’t see anything that will be free after coupons and catalinas, but some good deals if you need paper products.

Here are some highlights from the ad (good thru this Thursday) and coupon matchups. Thanks to irishsaver on hcw for typing it up.

CVS in Landenberg

They took my expired ECBs, whew! I begged and pleaded, brought along aforementioned newborn to show them I had been busy and couldn’t get there. I told them it wouldn’t happen again. They were very polite and said ‘no problem.’

I did two terrible transactions–terrible as far as my return on investment. First transaction I handed over $27 ECBs and coupons, got $10 ECBs back. Second one, handed over $13 ECBs and coupons, paid $2.38 oop, got $8.50 back in ECBs. Meh. I don’t really even care about breaking even or moneymakers right now. At least they are all extended for another month.

What I did notice–so many of the monthly and weekly deals did not have tags hanging in front of them. I got the Crest mouthwash, Children’s Tylenol and a few other things–the ECBs printed but no tags in front of the items. I didn’t even know I’d get $2 for the Tylenol, I just had coupons, a CRT and was trying to use up the ECBs.

I’ve browsed HCW to look for upcoming deals and nothing excites me. Oh well, Acme has been fun lately.

Kmart trip–a bust

The Pike Creek Kmart is NOT doing superdoubles. Bummer. I should have called first.

I thought I could redeem the trip, as they had tons of good kids’ clothing on clearance for 2.99. I found several items, I also had registered on kmart.com to get a $5 off $50. I also had two of the $5 Huggies coupons to use and there’s a $25 Kmart/Glamour rebate, so I thought I would end up doing well after all.

And then my check card was denied. And so was a second one. How embarrassing. I forgot that we got new cards, and I had not called in my new ones to activate them. And they were sitting here, at home, on the kitchen counter. I had to have the cashier void the entire sale. This also meant I couldn’t stop at Acme as planned and get milk that we need.

Sigh………..
