Decent deal on Ruffles/Tostitos and Dips.

Hey guys,

Loblaws has $3 off in-store coupon when you buy any 2 bags of Tostitos (180-440g) or Ruffles (260-400g) AND 1 jar of Tostitos Salsa/Salsa Con Queso (400-430g), Spinach (432g), or Ruffles Onion/Ranch (432g) dip.

A so-so deal BUT then use a buy 2 bags of chips and get a FREE dip coupon (which BTW have started appearing again!) and it turns into a decent deal!

Approximate value of deal $3.29 (Loblaws price) x 4 = $13.16 - $3 in-store coupon - $3.29 price of dip = $6.87. Works out to approx. $1.71 each item.

Given not as good a deal as the SDM one from a couple weeks back but still a chance to stock up on some chips and dips!

Saw this coupon in Toronto (Gerrard/Woodbine).

Hope this posting makes sense - let me know if you need further clarification!

Cheers!

I'm a little confused, why is it times 4? If you are only buying 2 bags of chips, and 1 dip, shouldn't it be.. $3.29 x 3 = $9.87 - $3 instore - $3.29 (free dip coupon) = $3.58

therefore its really only $1.19 an item???

correct me if I'm wrong.

Well spotted! Yes, I can see why you're confused! Didn't occur to me that the free dip coupon could possibly be redeemed against the dip you bought!

Didn't actually try this today so to be honest I'm not sure how the store would deal with the coupons... But I hope you're correct and it does come out to $1.19! Much better!

If anyone has any ideas how this would work, that'd be greatly appreciated!

I can see having problems using both coupons...
Guess its going to depend on the cashier.
