Giant PA: Jan 30 ad highlights with some matchups

My ads still didn’t come today, they usually come on Wednesdays. So thanks to kookiecrisp on hcw for some highlights. When my ads do finally show up, I will add more matchups and then manually feed the blog link to facebook so that it reappears.

**Special Note** If I put a *U* behind an item, that means it is a part of the Unilever family of products. There is a big Unilever insert coming this Sunday, but none of the ad preview sites have it up yet. In other words, maybe a coupon will be available for this product come Sunday, check your papers.

Remember with Giant, they will only double one like coupon per transaction. And any promotions that have a spending threshold work on sale price, not shelf price, but before coupons.

Correction-I think Amazon fixed the diaper glitch

I just spent about 20 minutes trying to re-do the Amazon diaper deal that I did last summer. I think that Amazon figured out what was going on (that they were selling diapers at a loss, lol) and fixed a few things.

First, the subscription service. Every item that I chose for the subscription service only gave me a 15% discount, not 30% as it had been. Also, once I chose a subscription item, the site hustled me right through to checkout. It did not ever give me an option to add additional items. I even went all the way through once, then went into my email and canceled the order. I tried a second time, this time much more slowly and really paying attention to look for other options than what I was given. Even if you choose the subscription service and click to see if it’s in your cart, mine wasn’t there. It seems they are now treating the subscription service as something different than choosing a regular item.

This is not really a big deal unless like me, you have more than one child in diapers. Since all of the various discount codes and promotional codes can only be used once, I then had to choose which order I wanted to apply it to. And it appears that they’ve changed up their e-coupons somewhat. It would only allow me to apply the $1.50 e-coupon to some of the sizes, not every size.

I decided to forego the 15% discount for the subscription and just added big single boxes to my cart. I had two separate 20% Parents magazine codes (Dec and Jan) that I found at my pediatrician’s office plus the $10 home mailer code. I also had a $5 Swagbucks code, a $10 gift code I got for being a moderator on hotcouponworld, plus the $20 one I got for free from LivingSocial.

At the end of it all, it was still a great deal. Over 400 diapers delivered to my home for just under $0.09 each.

If someone has a different or better experience, please let the rest of us know, and good luck!
