Today’s the last day of the Acme deal. I think I will stop in after work and hopefully do a few more transactions. I’m going to quote one of my hcw friends from yesterday:

Bad news, I just got back from Acme in Middlesex NJ. I did a double order, and when my total was only $37 on sale prices, the cashier tore up my second set of catalinas. I went all the way up to the store manager, who said that they “know” the machine is calculating on regular prices, and they think it should be on sale prices, so they are doing their own calculation and tearing up those that “misprint”. They have “called it in to Catalina”.

Ugh. First of all, Katy, if you’re reading this, my hubby thinks you should have called the police on them for stealing your coupons. Or contact an attorney.

But seriously, I could totally see the Avondale Acme trying to do this to me. But I’m going to give it a go anyway. Hopefully I’ll luck out with some decent cashiers.

Another problem, posted by my friend Chris:
I give up…. I went to Acme again this evening – bought 4 Dasani waters & some other stuff I needed…. went to pay with cats & was told that Dasani is Coke product but that P&G owns the Coca Cola company & couldnt use the cats on it.
I told them about the go-round with customer service yesterday, and that store mgr “Al” said it was fine. I will be calling CS and Al in the morning.
I have a headache – I will play by the rules, but just gimme the right rules!!!!!!!

This is not the first time she’s had this problem–her Acme is trying to tell her that Coke & GM products are P&G, which they are not.

So if you’re going to try this one more time today, good luck and buyer beware!

If you don’t live near an Acme or just don’t feel like doing this 15/30 deal, there are other bargains to be had this week.

Superfresh is doing triples. Here is the discussion thread again.

Kmart is having another Superdoubles week through Saturday, but it’s definitely not as good as last fall. First, only coupons up to and including $1, not $2, can be used this time. Still there are freebies and deals to be had, as reported on this thread on HCW. I have to go pick up some stuff at the vet on Friday or Saturday, so I may pop in for the Mott’s juice, but I also got it free at Walgreen’s this week. On sale for 1.79, used $1 coupon, paid with RRs. But Kevin loves that juice and I still have coupons left for it.

I did two more Acme transactions yesterday–catalina still rolling! But it looks like yukky weather today, so no shopping for me.
