Do you know if they still have the ziplock deal? Is the cat up on that one?

Thanks Angela!! I even got compliments on the way out and got to share my 98% savings with my girlfriends over lunch. It is so much fun to save that much, and it was ALL stuff I needed!!

Any scenarios to go along with the 10/30 Kraft rebate?

On the original deal post, a reader commented that you don’t have to buy in multiples of 8, that after 8 products it just takes an additional .50 for each product in the promotion. Is this the way it should work? I have my coupons grouped in multiples of 8, but I’m buying a bit more than I might normally just because of the extra savings…

Can you list where the bbq coupons are from. I looked through my coupon inserts and didn’t see them. Maybe they didn’t come to the Corvallis area?

Megan,
Go to the top of this page and click on the the green words that say “the deal post”. That will take you to the post where all the coupons are listed out. The Bull’s Eye is an IP. HTH

I did the hamburger helper deal at the Sandy Safeway yesterday. I was not able to use the doubler, not only because the printed coupons were DND, but because the store said they do not double ecoupons (cellfire/shortcuts). They said this is because they have to have the paper in hand in order to double the coupon. Consequently, the total cost was not free, but a great bargain nonetheless.
