How much can you get for 19 cents?

[Chantel]

Well, at london drugs and timmy's, I can get:

3 satin care shave gels
2 venus breeze razors
3 secret deodorants
4 packs of venus disposable razors
1 750g bag of cat food
1 dozen donuts (paid for with gift cards from surveys)



My overages from my coupon stacking PAID MY TAX. I paid a bill with a QUARTER!

I didn't even know that was possible!

It was a small shop, but the EXPERIENCE was what made it awesome. They were out of the venus disposables, so my favorite cashier ever, Kim, told me they'd order them in for me and I could pre-"pay" (with coupons) and just bring my receipt in when they get them in, and I'll get 4 packs FREE.

I'm still too shaken up from the drive home (BAD roads, I nearly peed myself a couple times) to find a camera, but I promise pictures after my next big shop, when I'll be getting more hair dye, some head and shoulders, and hopefully some makeup!

There was a manager at the CS desk, and they were discussing how they'll deal with the 4-like-coupons thing now, they're waiting to hear from HQ, so if anyone hears the final word on that please let me know

wow. way to go! i've only been allowed to go over the price with my coupons once and i think it was because the guy was new, most of the time they reduce the coupon down which is still an awesome deal!

overage is rare, so enjoy it.

[Chantel]

It certainly is rare! I've never had it happen before. But what a nice little pick-me-up for my dreary day

They always adjust my coupons too. But once I think I got some of my taxes off by mistake.

Great Brag!!! I am curious too how the 4 LIKE coupons will work out.

[barbs]

the "taxes off' is an interesting concept because many P&G coupons and others say the 'coupon can be used against taxes where applicable.'

That being said, many staff don't know/don't understand this, and will adjust the coupon down the the exact price before taxes. I have tried to explain this to 2 diff. staff on 2 diff. occasions, and they both misunderstood & assumed I wanted them to round the coupon "up" to cover all my taxes.

Now I just let it go; once in a while, I may get a portion of my taxes covered, if the coupon isn't adjusted............but, most of us are getting our purchases for 'free' or 'almost free' so paying taxes isn't that bad, compared to what we were paying for all these items pre - LD stacking.
