Look at this post on iheartcvs and read how to get two $10 coupons for Glucerna. While the CVS deal mentioned in the post is over, Acme has a deal. In their ad it says “Buy these participating products, get up to $18 off” and Glucerna is pictured. Also pictured is the Special K protein stuff, which has coupons in today’s paper. So check it out, it looks like it could be a free or good deal if you need this stuff.

I received a note today from a moderator on hcw. The $5 catalinas that we’ve been earning at Acme do say “Not valid on Proctor & Gamble products” on them. I’m pointing this out for 2 reasons–one is to let you know that any discussion of rolling this catalina on hcw may get you a warning/infraction and your post will be edited or deleted. Second is that although I’ve had success in rolling it, and will continue to try to do so, if it doesn’t, we don’t have any recourse.

So I may just try to roll a P&G transaction to a GM transaction and keep alternating back and forth.

I was just gathering up my receipts to do the P&G rebate. Here is the link to the form if you need it. Hitting $50 in P&G products should be no problem now!

Here’s what I did–

Transaction 1:
3 packs of Pampers-shelf price 10.69
Sale price-10.00
Minus three $1 coupons
Paid $27.00, got back $15 for buying $30 worth of P&G, $5 for buying $25 worth of baby stuff
Final-$7 oop for 3 packs of Pampers

Transaction 2:
2 bottles of Tide, shelf price 15.69
Sale Price: 10.99
Scanned two $1 coupons, then my card.
Paid $21.18, got $15 back for buying $30 worth of P&G
OOP: $6.18 for 2 of the BIG bottles of Tide

Transaction 3:
3 packs of Pampers wipes, shelf price 7.99
Sale price: 5.00
1 pack of Pampers diapers, shelf price 10.69
Sale Price: 10.00
Minus: $1 coupon for diapers; three $0.50 coupons (which doubled to $1) for wipes
**Note**I had $1.50 off Pampers wipes on my Avenu savings. This did not show up on the register, but I went to customer service and she gave me $4.50 in cash.
Paid $21, got $20 back–$15 for buying $30 worth of P&G, $5 for buying $25 worth of baby stuff.
OOP: $1 for 3 big packs of wipes and 1 diaper pack.

I did those 3 transactions back to back at self-checkout, then ran the stuff out to my car and went back in.

Transaction 4:
My weekly shopping trip, so it was big. $187 before coupons, $90 after coupons. I did use the $45 I had earned on the previous 3 transactions, and I earned another $15 for buying $30 worth of General Mills products. I am positive there were no P&G products in this transaction, only GM, as I was afraid that if I bought P&G, it wouldn’t roll. I bought 5 Progresso soups ($10 minus Qs), 4 yoplait yogurts ($10 minus Qs) and then $10 worth of the baking products listed, minus coupons of course. Also, my hubby had requested lots of stuff I didn’t have coupons for, so it was a higher bill than usual.

Then I got home, unloaded and realized I forgot lasagne noodles, and that Acme owed me $4.50 for the wipes, so I went back.

Transaction 5:
Another Tide-15.69 shelf price, 10.99 sale price
Huge pack of Bounty-14.99 shelf price, 10.00 sale price
Had $1 off Bounty on my Avenu. Also used $1 Bounty coupon and $1 Tide coupon, and used my $15 from previous transaction.
Paid $3.10 OOP, got $15 back, again for $30 worth of P&G

Transaction 6:
3 more packs of Pampers
Only had one $1 coupon left. Used that, plus the $15 from previous transaction, plus $10 from the previous baby transactions I did. Paid $4 oop, got another $20 back. For P&G and for buying baby stuff.

Whew!

Tomorrow my plan is:
7 boxes of Cheerios, shelf price 4.69.
Sale Price: 2.00
Another shopper on hcw reports that Cheerios are working at shelf price. So the 7 boxes will get me to $30.
Sale Price: $14
Minus: Seven $1.50 coupons that I pulled out of the packs of Pampers.
I should be paying $3.50 and getting $15 back.
Then I’ll have another $15 to work with, for a total of $30 in cats, plus one baby $5 cat.

I think I will do Bounty/Tide again. From there I’m going to check the shelf prices on Cascade and Downy and see what I can do there. I also have many more kids’ Yoplait coupons and Kevin loves that stuff. Depending on the exp dates on it, I may get brave and see if shelf prices work for that as well.

Don’t forget all the GM websites–eatbetteramerica.com, pillsbury.com, bettycrocker.com to get your IPs for the deal too.

If you try something and it works, please report back!
