Free Soup at Zellers Haul and More!!!!

[theweave]

Okay I don't think this ever got posted on the forum here so I am going to go post it in the deals section and pray that it is not a repost! I swear I would have caught this deal if it was posted anywhere, it's not like I am never on here or anything!

First things first... my mom's Personal Support Worker is addicted to Smart Canucks, she never posts but trust me she is always on here.. Anyhow, she asked me last week if I had any coupons for Campbell's Soup as it was on sale at WM... I looked here and didn't see any so I told her no! I mean if I can't find it here, it is not anywhere right?

So she sends me a text later on and tells me she found coupons for soup! Cambell's Kitchen! So I checked it out and thought "Cool, they have a $2 off WUB 4 Chunky! I print the coupon and took the coupon and the Sobey's ad (not even thinking of WM soup at that point!) and off I go... I PM Sobey's @Zellers.. $0.99 a can -$2.00 off ($0.50 per can) so $0.49 a can! Good deal for that!!

Okay now to keep things in order, I went to the Ancaster ON home show today and it was pretty much a bust. I did subscribe to the Hamilton Spectator for 3 months ($18.23 a month) and got a $25 gift card for Sobey's!

I also got a free Toronto Star (which I paid no attention to until much later!).....fast forward to tonight... my brother and sister in law come for dinner and afterwards we are talking about bargain huntiing etc... she mentions the cans of soup at WM for $0.44 a can... I told her to hang on and jumped on the computer, within seconds I had a coupon for save $1.50 WUB3 cans of Campbell's Condensed Soup (not valid for chicken noodle or tomato and some other kind...why? I don't know! ) so I told her if she wanted soup and WM was out, take the WM ad to Zellers and do a price match!!! I then went to get the ad to confirm the price and noticed something very strange.... the Brantford ad that was in our paper had Hot Wheel cars for $1 each... the wrap around in the Toronto Star had the same cars for $0.67 each!!!!

Now my wheels start to turn... this deal was Sat and Sun only! It was only 8:30 so I sat down on the computer and started printing off Campbell's coupons.. I figured out (with dad's help) how to print 2 on one page so as not to use up all my paper! I printed off 24 pages of 2 coupons each... each coupon got you 3 cans... so that is 72 cans of soup!

START THE CAR!!!!!!

Off to Zeller's I go!!!! I grabbed a cart and went right to the soup aisle and started pulling CASES OF SOUP off the shelf!!! I didn't care what kind of soup it was... I got cream of mushroom, bean with bacon and vegetable I think... but I was short 15 cans... oh well I thought!

I went to the HW cars and almost threw up at the prices on the shelf... "Who cares, I am not paying that price!!!" was my thought as I threw 10 of them in my cart! Then I wanted cookies that were on sale so I went to go back there and found a guy stocking shelves... I asked him if they had any more soup in the back, I didn't care what kind... he went and looked and said there was cream of mushroom or tomato left. I told him I needed 14 cans of COM to complete my cases... I just followed him to the back and he loaded up the rest for me! YAY!

Sooooooo off to the checkout I go!!!! I got up to the girl and told her she was going to have lots of fun with my order! *LOL* I showed her the ads I had and she said "Yep no problems!" I told her about the coupons and she said "Yep, no problem either!".. we had all my cars, cookies and 5 cans of chicken noodle soup rung in and she was starting on the 72 when the "Quarterback" came and looked at my coupon and said in a snotty voice "You realize these are one per transaction?" I told him that just meant that I couldn't stack the coupons, he said no one per order. I told him okay I will pay for each one separate.. he said "Yeah that is how we will have to do it to keep it reconciled."

So the girl rang in 3 cans of soup 24 times! Best part is, I got HBC points for every single can of soup too!!!!! I just stood there with card in hand and each time she rang up 3, she said "Card" and I just tapped my card on the scanner!!!

So here is the rundown:

Oreo Cookies (Z:$3.29) WM PM $1.97
Pirate Cookies (Z:$3.29) WM PM $1.97
4 cans of chicken noodle (Z:$1.09 each) PM WM $0.44 per can!
Hot Wheels Cars (Z: [email protected] [email protected]) PM WM (from TS) $0.67 EACH!!!
SPC CARD SAVINGS $1.30
72 CANS OF CAMPBELL'S SOUP: (Z:$1.09 EACH) PM WM $0.44X3=$1.32 FOR 3-$1.50 COUPON=FREE SOUP!

TOTAL OOP: $12.38!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????

Kudos to both Rebecca and the "Quarterback" who did come back and apologize later for being rude... I almost passed out! Rebecca was actually very pleasant and we chatted the whole time. I even gave her the name of this site to check out!

So here is the night's haul!



Notice all the receipts on top of the soup!!!



Sorry forgot the cookies in the kitchen when I took the photo!!!

Plus I got 1750 HBC points too!!!!

I am not sure if I am done yet or not... if I try this during the daytime, I may not make it out of Zellers alive though! But then hey why not have another adventure tomorrow!!!!

There is a coupon for Buy 3 "Blue Band" soups and Save $1. The only soup at Walmart that had the "Blue Band" that was on sale was Tomato. So not quite free, but still a good deal. I bought 9 cans and it cost me $0.96.

[GottaLoveFreeebies]

great deals but this coupon is not valid in Canada!

[bellakarma]

wow, great job..

[theweave]

great deals but this coupon is not valid in Canada!

Where does it say Not valid in Canada? I did not see that on there anywhere and can't print from my laptop to even look!

They took all of them and the guy read them over from top to bottom!

Can you print one and scan it to post? I just posted this in the deals section and am facebooking it too and don't want to cause massive riots!

Also the PSW used them no problem either!

[GottaLoveFreeebies]

I have always read on here that if the redemption address is not in Canada, it is not valid in Canada.....the adress on this is Del Rio TX

Perhaps some one else could confirm this either way.....I would love to use this coupon!!!

[AryanasMommy]

I know in my area they RARELY take printables. I don't even bother trying anymore!

But hey. Good Job to you!!!!

[theweave]

Hmmmm maybe theweave pulled off a bigger one then he thought he did??? I didn't even read the fine print to tell you the truth, just printed and out the door I went! I will go edit my deal posting to clarify the situation as well.

Does this mean Zellers won't get their money back now? Does this make me a bad person now on SC????

[kool_105]

this coupon is definitely not valid in Canada, and was intended for American use only. i used 2 of them, the max allowed to print, in the states a few days ago. any coupon with a remit address in Texas is American, the store you bought these from will not get the money back from them. the only valid soup coupon for these cans in Canada is the buy 3 save a $ on the blue label cans.

[kool_105]

and no it doesn't make you a bad person @ all, just someone who misunderstood a coupon. it happens all the time. but yea the store will not get the $ back. but the person wrong was the person who said they would take the coupon, and also you really should not have photocopied it. only 2 coupons were valid, the rest were copies. each coupon has a unique identifiable code.

[kool_105]

please do not use this coupon guys, most stores won't take valid printable coupons. if they take invalid ones, then they won't take valid ones in the future..

Awesome day you had! WTG!

Don't feel bad! I did the same thing with the printable Armstrong cheese coupon b2s$1 on the .67cents 8ct cheese melts! I was so excited about the deal that I didn't read the fine print said "not valid on the melts"! I only got 2 packs & the cashier didn't see it either!
I really find some of these printable are hard to read as the print is so small!

I am afraid that this boo boo could lead to a policy of stores not accepting printables anymore!!! I hope that is not the case and I am the cause of it all!!!

Should have known I guess when it was no where to be found on here!!

So Carly, you want to trade for some printable soup coupons? 1 cent each should suffice! LOL

I am off to bed now, been a long day being up since 5:00 am! Night all!

[snowbird1233]

the only valid soup coupon for these cans in Canada is the buy 3 save a $ on the blue label cans.
