potential strike at Acme

July 1, 2009 by Lisa · Leave a Comment

It appears that within the next week or two, Acme workers will go on strike. I’m on the fence about how I feel about crossing picket lines. Overall I’m not a huge fan of labor unions anyway, but I don’t want my usual cashiers to see me and give me even more hassle over coupons.

And, I talked to one of the employees and he said it probably will affect the warehouse. Hence the store will be probably be poorly stocked anyway.

I’ve been finding decent deals at Superfresh lately, so I’ll keep my eye on them. And I guess I’ll go to Giant if I have to. That new store in Jennersville is much too big. And they only double one coupon which is annoying.

My house smells like dogs, so…….

Good thing there are good deals this week on various air fresheners.

Giant/Airwick Mini: On sale at Giant for $4.49, get your $4 internet printable coupon here and make yours $0.49! This website let me print 4.

CVS/Glade: Many Glade items at CVS are giving $1 ECB back when you purchase. Use the Glade coupons from today’s paper to make for some very good deals. They also had the Trio clearanced (only at Newark Rd location, not Jennersville) and there’s a $3 coupon out for it in today’s paper. The melting refill thingys–I got three 3-packs of those for $0.66 a piece after coupons and ECBs.

Happy Shopping.

BOGO Mania begins today at CVS

July 20, 2008 by Lisa · Leave a Comment

Today is the start of a new week of deals at CVS. If you have the right coupons, it means lots of freebies. It is part of CVS’s published coupon policy to accept a bogo coupon in conjunction with a bogo sale. Here is a list from hotcouponworld of FAQs about CVS and their coupon policy. Even though it is a part of their corporate policy, ymmv. That means Your Mileage May Vary–the store manager has the right to decline your coupon. I have found that Jennersville, Kennett (route 1) and the Landenberg locations all will honor this.

Trident: Trident is buy one, get one this week. There also are many bogo coupons out there for this–found on tearpads, some of today’s newspapers got them too. So your transaction should look like this:
1.49 trident
0.00 bogo trident
Pay with your bogo coupon, and since you purchased 2, you’ll get $1 ECB. The $1 ECB is a monthly deal that CVS is running, it just happens to overlap with this bogo deal and a coupon.

L’oreal Vive: This shampoo is also bogo at CVS this week, so it could mean two bottles of shampoo for free. The bogo coupon was in last Sunday’s paper. If CVS won’t take this coupon, try Rite Aid. I have not tried to do this at the Kennett Rite Aid, but many people have good experiences there with this policy.

Other deals this week:
Pepsi: is four 12-packs for $8 after ECB.
Baby: buy $15 worth of CVS brand baby products, get $5 ECB back. Check store for specific items.

Happy Shopping.
