Some back story first:
My mom works for a non-profit Senior Center. They cater to Seniors who are struggling financially, mentally, and physically. They serve meals, help with meds, etc. For the past year or so, they have been struggling to keep the center afloat financially so they asked me to see how much I could cut their expenses on food, medication, cleaning supplies, etc. I contacted Bayer along with some other companies to see what they could offer in the way of coupons, discounts, whatever.
I have to tell you, Bayer has some superior customer service. She suggested I use the printable. I wrote back that I was buying a large amount at a time, explained what I was buying it for and that I was looking for a coupon that I could use on each pkg and that I didn't think the printable was intended to be printed multiples times. After some emailing back and forth, they sent me some vouchers. Yay!!!!
I then called WM pharmacy to place my order and it came in today. Another store here actually has aspirin on for .99(certain kinds)so I just PM'd it. Some were reg. price. I didn't use coupons on every box because I didn't want to use that many printables. It's supposed to be one per customer but the pharmacist was great. So with my vouchers, my printables, and my other coupons, this is what I got.
20 Aspirin
1 4L milk
1 pkg of bologna
1 box of sweetener
9 boxes of Purex
6 boxes of Irish Spring
1 shelf
1 St Ives
7 Twix Bars
The chocolate bars were an after thought. They screwed up the aspirin order a little bit and had the wrong amounts of each kind. I had it figured out before I got there but it ended up that they owed me money which I hate so I threw the closest thing to the till...chocolate!!
I also had to buy 248.00 worth of other meds but that's not a brag.
No harping on the aspirin. It was their reg. order and I save them over 150.00 that the center can use for something else. The milk and bologna are mine!This thread is currently associated with: Spring Shoes, St. Ives

No harping on the aspirin. LOL!!!!!!
What a feat of coordination on your part to make that Aspirin deal possible - the seniors centre is fortunate to have you and your Mom!!
