Hi ladies!
I was wondering what you mean when you post using a coupon that is a $1 DBL I think I've figured out everything, but that.
Thanks!
Oh, are you registered Starbucks card members? If so, there was an e-mail sent out that next Tues at 2PM, they are doing free tea and food samples. I'm not sure how big it'll be, but I can time a Starbucks trip for that hour.

Just got back & noticed a few things...

1. The Pantene's shelf sign is showing 3/$9.99 instead of 3/$10.00. So, you'd HAVE to buy 10 Pantene's or you could get 9 Pantene's and 1 of something else that's part of the promo & would get you to $30. Wasn't prepared for this since it's not that way in the ad, so I didn't have another $3/2 coupon with me...BUMMER!

2. The Cheerios that are on sale for 2/$4 & part of the promo, are NOT the ones with the $1.50 Pampers coupon on the back (was hoping they were!!). They are actually the BIGGER boxes.

3. The 2nd store I went to had a HUGE stack of the weekly ad by the door. They ALL had the doublers still attached to them. SO, you might be able to luck out & grab a few more like I did!

4. I tried doing 6 Pampers in 1 tx to see if I could get 2 sets of cats...didn't work. I did use the $10/$50, 3 mfg & 3 doubles, so I ended up paying $44 for 6 packs and got $20 back...not TOO bad.

Here's what I did for the Pantene:

10 - Pantene (various kinds)
3 - StarKist tuna pouches 2.6oz (on sale for $1ea)
$36.30
-$12 (4-$3/2 Pantene)
-$1 ($1/1 Pantene)
-$1.50/3 Tuna (from a tearpad a few weeks ago)
-$6 double
-$15 cats
OOP $.80 & I got back my $15 in cats!

I just went to Albertsons and I don't think Huggies diapers count for the Spend $30, Get $15 deal. Huggies wipes are included ($5/each).

I also don't believe Huggies are part of the $15/$30 deal since I'm pretty sure they are not a P&G item.

Hey Erika & Chris,
Well I did a few transactions tonight and one of them included Pantene. FYI it is 3/$9.99 not $10 so you might need a small filler item to get to 30. Plus they were out of a lot of items so have a back-up transaction just in case:0

OK I just got my Albertsons flyer so I NOW understand what the DBL means- Yay!
However, I don't see anywhere in the flyer that the pampers diapers are part of the buy $30 get $15 deal. Where did you find that?

Saving 4 My Family said...

Thanks Pam for the scenario and update! Isn't it weird that the Huggies wipes are included in the $15 off of $30 deal but not the diapers?

Heather, thanks for letting us know that things are already out of stock. Bummer, I really didn't want to have to deal with a back up plan as well!

Drea, the Albertsons flier doesn't include all the participating products. We find out about other participating items from reading other blogs, other coupon forums like hot coupon world, etc. Pam actually gave me the heads up about the Pampers deal this time. She's awesome!
