Great job! I didn't know the value packs of fruit snack and the cheese strings were on sale! I will be making a trip to food basics very soon

Ah! The variety packs weren't on sale here...they are super expensive!

[KrazE]

I was super excited to see that they were on sale so I could use the smartsource coupons as they are ONLY for the "new" products!

The sighing from the man in line behind me was comical - I was just dying for him to actually open his mouth to complain & I was going to tell him "Oh, pardon me, is my SAVING MONEY impeding on your busy life?"

I think he sensed that I'm not a shy person & will likely speak my mind cause he packed up his groceries loudly & stormed out of the store lol

Great deal! I picked up a bunch of the jammers too this week as they are such a great deal.

[lovebugs2]

Now how much extra time did your purchases take due to coupons? Probably very little, if the cashier didn't have questions, and your post doesn't sound like there were any problems. I am finding that people are becoming so rude, whether at the store, driving, etc. He's a jerk -- it probably upset him that you were saving so much $ and he wouldn't be. Maybe if he'd been nice to you, you would have RAOK'd him with a coupon or advice on how to coupon. Oh well, his loss.

Unfortunately the cashier was very slow - I didn't have much option - 2 cashes open, one was 1-16 items & the other was the one I had to go to. She was young, and English was probably her 3rd language.
She spent a good 2 minutes staring at each coupon & comparing it with the products, I even forewarned her that I had coupons, and laid them out in order to match with the items, but alas, that didn't matter.

I ROAK'd a BD Cheesestrings coupie to a lady that happened to grab a pack off the shelf which means that the same cashier would have had to handle that coupon too lol

It is awesome. We did some of the same but for smaller boxes. I used $1 off Betty Crocker snacks on the $1.44 items, making them .44 each (x4) plus a few others. Love the sales when there is something there. Sadly their crackers were empty, but price matched at Walmart. Glad to know that some of the big packs are on sale too, I may need to go back!

Way to go!

[KrazE]

Everything that was on sale for $1.44 with the exception of the Jammers were completely cleared out

I know what you mean about the shortage of cashiers. It doesnt' just happen at Food Basics. I heard that it's head office that decides how many cashiers on shift. So, complaints got to head office.

Question: The packages of cheese have coupons. Which cheese has these coupons.Thx.

[Lilleesha]

ohhh I will have to go look for the cheese sticks and what coupon did you use for the granola bars? not the new ones from the smartsource was it? cause was that not for a bigger box than 12?

[lynzriches]

Awesome!!
