Is It True or Isn't It ????? with PIC
Ok so after doing a lot of reading the last few days in the coupon thread, I have decided I don't have a clue what I'm doing anymore :icon_scratch: yep thats right, I ADMIT it, I totally dumfounded :rolleyes: So I figured today I better get out there in search of the truth. Today was absolutely beautiful and the sun was shining, so I grabbed my coupon binder, my shades and my purse and out the door I went. First stop SW. II head straight for the customer service desk and ask for the store manager. I explain to him what I want to do with my coupons and the BOGO sale they are having. He looks odd at me....just like I had 3 heads or something :tongue: Then he says "oh, sure you can do that, just keep in mind that we have a limit on the numbwer of free products you can get during a bogo" :icon_scratch: what....:icon_scratch: ok, so I grab a cart and off I go....
6 Windex cleaner BOGO - 3 B1G1 Free coupons = FREE
8 Pantene shampoo/conditioner BOGO - 4 B1G1 coupons = FREE
2 Clorox toilet bowl cleaner BOGO - 2 X $1 coupons = .57 each
2 Crest 3D White toothpaste BOGO - 2 X $1 coupons = .18 each
TOTAL OPP including taxes $3.49
Total Savings $78.48 or 98%
I left the store, not sure if I just robbed them or if I should be doing a little dance :excited: :excited: :excited:
Ok, so back in the car and across the road I go, into LD. I needed to pick up some ensure as I was out. While there, I picked up a few other things as well.....

Left the store feeling very smug with myself as I had only one last stop and feeling confident (and very tired). Hoped in the car and drove down the road a few blocks and into RCSS. First stop, the customer service desk where I requested to speak to the store manager. This very nice lady came and introduced herself. I told her of my confusion and how I feel that after all these years of couponing, I know absolutely nothing.:icon_scratch: She laughed and I explained my concerns to her. She told me that since Loblaws currently has no official coupon policy, they are leaving it up to the individual store. :icon_scratch: Soooooo........can I use a CZ and a manufacturers coupon together at your store I ask??? She says you may, BUT....you must follow the back of the CZ, which means you may ONLY use ONE of each coupon per visit per family. :excited: I'm good with that. I grab a cart and off I go again. It's been forever since I've been in this store, I forgot how big it was :bawling: I'm tired and hurting and I want to go home, but I plow on....
I am tired and can't quite understand the bill the way she put my coupon is, but here is the short version....

1 Pedigree dog food (for dd) - CZ $3 - $3
1 Dove visably??? CZ $2 - $2 = FREE
