Tuesday Brag

[frugal_gal]

Went to WM spending $4.44 on what would have regularly cost $47.60!!
Here's what I picked up:
2 Glade Sense and Spray - $9.47ea; used 2 FPC
1 coffee cone filters (actually found the size I needed!) - $2.37; no coupons, regular price
16 Healthy Harvest pasta (variety) - PM FB = $0.86 + 16 $0.75 coupons

TIP: The last time I redeemed FPC I chose to have the cashier ring those items as a separate transaction. The reason I did that is that on the FPC, unless it states the customer has to pay taxes or some other stipulation that I have to pay something then I am not to pay taxes (as per Retail Sales Tax Guide, ON) and will let the cashier know if I am not to pay taxes. The easiest way to check that the cashier in fact doesn't charge me anything is to ring the items in separately. I have checked with CSManager in past and she is aware of the RSTGuide and confirmed that taxes shouldn't be charged to customer unless stated on the coupon so I do stand up for myself if the cashier tells me she is suppose to charge me taxes or whatever else. If it does seem that it will be a hassle and a line-up builds behind me I just tell the cashier to give me my coupons and cancel the transaction...then I would just go to the CS desk to redeem my FPC. I don't mind standing up for myself in a situation like this especially when I am in the right. On these 2 S&S the taxes added up to $2.47; might not sound like much but it really was $2.47 I prefer to kep in my pocket or spend on food to donate than on smellies. Plus it helps educate the cashiers.

They usually come out in the Shop and Save or Smart source booklets that come with local newspapers or The Sun, Star etc.

Heres the schedule of when the booklets come out for the year,
