Sunday Coupon Insert Differences (Knoxville Area)

Like before, I am going off of the full lists on Sunday Coupon Preview.

This post is just to show what the differences were in my regional newspaper.  (Knoxville News Sentinel)

We were supposed to get 2 inserts in this paper: SmartSource and RedPlum

But, for whatever reason, both the newspapers I got, one in my mailbox and the extra one I bought at the gas station, were missing the RedPlum.

I'm bummed, there were supposed to be some great coupons in there.  Sorry guys, but I still did the Smartsource below.  (This is not the first time this has happened...blah)

To coupons!

CVS Trip: Laundry Detergent and Deodorant

I ran out to CVS really quick to pick up the free crest toothpaste deals, but they were out of those.  But some other stuff was in stock so I went ahead and picked up a couple deals.  I will probably go back later in the week because I got another 20% coupon today. Oh yes!

Curious about whether the coupons I mention below are still available or what coupons are out there for another product?  Check a coupon database.  I personally use the one at CouponLikeAMan HERE.

The Goods (97% Savings!)

(6) Purex 50oz Detergents - B1G2 free @ $6.29 or buy 2 or more, $6 each (yay!)
 - used (3) $1.50/2 printable
Price: $7.50 for all 6 (or $1.25 each)

(2) Right Guard Extreme Gel Deodorants - on sale 2/$6 (buy 2 get 1 ECBs)
 - (2) $2/1 newspaper coupons

!!!!!!!!Note another higher value Purex coupon went live this morning ($1 off 1).  It would make it so you could buy only three, use 3 coupons, and only pay $3.29 for all three.  (HERE is krogerkrazy's post with the links.  I printed from zipcode 19464 and the coupon didn't have a store logo on it or anything. Remember you can print 2 per computer...whoohoo!)

Coupon Trip: Target (Awesome Pet Food Deals!)

Went into the city in search of great deals once again:

Curious about whether the coupons I mention below are still available or what coupons are out there for another product?  Check a coupon database.  I personally use the one at CouponLikeAMan HERE.

The pet food deal mentioned below is good until Saturday.  You can clip it from the ad or get it on your smartphone. (Not sure what exactly you text to get it, but there were signs all over my Target.)

Also, your Target may have slightly different prices and all that.

On to the goods!

I did two transactions: $10 off $40 pet food deal and then another one with my other deals.  I thought it may make it easier if problems popped up.  (But none did!  My cashier today was absolutely stellar!)

Transaction #1 ($10 off $40 Pet Food/Litter Deal)

The goods:

(4)  Iams 2.9lb Dry Cat Food @ $4.69 each
 - used: (4) $2 off 1 printable coupons

(12) Iams Wet Dog Food @ $1.20 each
 - used: (4) $2 off 3 cans printable coupons

(9) Pedigree Wet Dog Food @ $.72 each
 - used: (3) B2G1 newspaper coupons
 - Bonus: These actually auto-deducted the full $.99 value!!

(4) Friskies Wet Cat Food @ $.47

used: Target In-Ad Coupon for $10 off $40 in dog and cat food or litter (excludes treats/rawhides)
 - also, the catalina machine spit out a coupon for $.75 that she went ahead and applied (best cashier ever!)

Subtotal:  $11.08

***Could have actually gotten this a tiny bit cheaper.  I realized that there was a Cartwheel offer for 5% off the Friskies cans after I got home.  Oh well...still happy.

Want to see what this looks like on the receipt:

Remember:  You can stack coupons at Target like I did with the manufacturer coupons on top of the $10 Target coupon to get awesome savings.  For each item, you are allowed to use a target coupon, a manufacturer coupon, and a Target Cartwheel offer.  (Target Coupon Policy)

Transaction #2

The goods:

(2) La Croix Curate 8pk @ $3.79 each
(2) La Croix 8pk @ $3.00
 - used:  (2) BO curate GO La Croix 8pk FREE printable
Price:  $7.58 for 4 or $1.89 each

(4) Beneful Healthy Smile Dog Treat @ 2 for $7.50
 - used: (2) BOGO newspaper coupons
 - used: (1) $.50/1 target coupon
Price: $7 for 4 or $1.75 each

(1) Suave Professional Natural Infusions Conditioner @ $2.99 each
 - used: (1) $1.50 off 1 printable coupon
 - used: (1) $1.50 off 1 target coupon
Price: FREE

Subtotal:  $14.57

-----

Oh yes!  Target is slowly becoming one of my favorite places to shop.  Between all the coupons and offers they have been running lately, I feel spoiled.  (Especially compared to how I get treated at Walmart.  I'll save that for another post though.  So done with Walmart.  I'll pay more to not ever have to go there again and I am cheap as all get out.)

When The Couponing Gods Don't Smile on You

(Warning: Rant Below)

Y'all I don't even want to talk about my Walmart trip today.  (But I will anyway haha)  It took my over an hour to checkout.  AN HOUR... Like, this stuff was all I got with the exception of some more White Cloud TP from my last Walmart post.  (Only 4 pks too!)  No price matches.  Nothing weird.

The cashier made me hand her my coupons as I went for each item instead of doing them at the end.  She, then held them up and scrutinized every one.  Really...for each item even if it was an identical item and coupon!

Then, to top it off, she tried to say that I was paying with a fraudulent credit card.  What?!  (I had to produce my ID, and then she called a manager over.  I don't understand.  My stuff is all legit.  Why do you make me hate you, Walmart?)  I was afraid I was going to get the cops called on me or something like has happened to several other couponers.

 Like, for real...my receipt is a mess.  It has several subtotals on it, and I had to pull out the coupon policy to even get her to scan my razor coupons.  (Has their training gotten even worse?  Does it still exist?)

Then, I had to wrangle with customer service, because she missed a few of my coupons.  I was told basically, "too bad so sad"  because the girl was too lazy to process it basically.  (I worked customer service at my last job and this crap makes me cringe.)

Ugh...I'll either lay off Walmart for awhile or switch to the one a bit further out.  Like who trained these people?  I would be fired so fast if I pulled even half of this crap.  Do. Not. Understand.

Makes me appreciate wonderful places like Ingles, Kroger, and CVS way more.  The workers there are always stellar.  If only a Publix would grace my area, then I could cut out Walmart completely.  Sigh...
