Avenu Danimals not working

The Danimals are half-price. I, along with several others, also got $1.25 off Danimals on my Avenu savings. It didn’t come off. I didn’t pursue it, was in a hurry. FYI.

Venus gift pack works

I had $4 in ECBs that were going to expire tomorrow. My plan was to get the Fusion, pay with $4 coupon and $4 ECBs, get $4 ECBs back. Of course the Landenberg CVS was out of the Gamer, only one giving ECBs. I didn’t feel like looking around for another transaction to put together, so I figured I’d sacrifice $2 ECBs and get the Venus. The coupons out for this are only $2. I saw the gift pack and took it over to the scanner, said it was on sale for $7.99. So I figured I’d try it and see if it also gives the ECBs. It did.

Big green box, has shaving cream and Olay lotion in addition to the razor. Nice change from the zillion Fusions we already have.

ETA: I read that the Fusion gift packs work too. Whatever you choose, run it under the in-store scanner first, see if it says it’s on sale for $7.99. If it is, good chance it will produce the ECBs.

Acme deals–part 2

For the ConAgra deal, shelf prices worked for me. Healthy Choice soup has a shelf price of $2.69 and is on sale for $1.25. I got 6 of those plus 8 cans of Hunt’s tomatoes to hit my $25 threshhold and got my $10. I also did the GM deal-mixture of brownie mix, frosting, cookie mix and Chex Mix for my 10 items. Shelf price is irrelevant since it goes by item count. Also picked up four boxes of Kellogg’s, 4 for $10, used two $1.50 coupons, free milk coupon. When all was said & done, total was $52.xx before coupons, $28.xx after coupons, and I got $21 back in OYNO cats. Two $10 ones-Conagra and GM, and a $1 French’s mustard cat.

So overall, not a bad run. I won’t be rolling it or doing it again, I’m running out of steam and winding down for a while.
