    Non-Sale Price:
    $200+ (including tax)
    Sale Price: $169.78 (including tax)
    Paid: $20.42
    Earned: 2153 Save-On More Points (roughly $3.91)


    Store: Price Smart Foods in British Columbia
    Comments: Finally, got all my coupons in the mail and some time to go through them. I decided I would try and hit the highest possible total I could. I spent about an hour going through the flyers and my coupons Friday night but only managed to make it about half of the way through my coupons. Unfortunately, I didn't get time to go through my P&G or Aveeno coupons and just said f'it. I got to Price Smart with the goal of hitting $75 before coupons and tax but had enough possible stacks to hit more than $200. I ended up getting most of the items I planned on getting but sadly Price Smart doesn't carry Health Harvest Pasta Sauce, Neutrogena Norwegian Formula products, Scrubbing Bubbles Total Kitchen Foaming All Purpose Cleaner, or the multi-pack of Pantene Pro-V Expert Collection products. Also, the price on certain products was too high for me. Reser's Deli Salads was $3.28(I only had $2 worth of stacks), Old Spice Bodywash was $4.99 or something(I only had $4 worth of stacks), and La Grille BBQ Sauces was $3.50ish(I only had $2 worth of stacks). I ended up talking to the customer service lady and managed to get my own checkout. The checkout lady this time knew EVERYTHING and didn't make any mistakes or have to ask a manager for any help. She was also surprisingly friendly and seemed happy to see what I was stacking. When I handed her my Save-On Scan Offers, she scanned the 'Earn 500 Points WUS $50+' and 'Earn 500 Points WUB Bottled Water' and when I pointed out that I didn't buy the water, she said it was ok to let it go. Easily the best shop I've had so far at Price Smart.

    Great job!!

    I see you have to spend $50 to get 500 points per transaction. Why didn't you put the other items in one transaction?

    I didn't even know if I would be able to use the offer since I didn't actually purchase $50+ after coupons. In hindsight, I should have tried to use the Save-On-Foods mail-out offers: "Spend $75 and receive a $10 Save-On-Foods gift card" or "Spend $175 and get 5000 points".

    I'm still new to Save-On More points so I'll eventually learn how everything works and plan my shops better.

    A 'stack' like this is actually permitted? $24 worth of coupons for $11.39 worth of product? That's insane.

    From what I understand, each coupon can be applied as long as it has a different UPC and total coupon value can exceed the total product cost at managers discretion. From what I understand, the manager at the location I go to allows the total coupon value to exceed the total product cost, although maybe not to the extreme that I stacked. I should also note, I informed the customer service manager of my shop(pricematching and coupons) and she specifically called over someone who she must have known knew the coupon policy for their store to personally help me at a checkout lane opened just for me. Therefore, I'm under the impression that the stack was in-accordance with that specific location's policies.

    I didn't think you could stack P&G period. Like even if the store permits stacking, the coupon still has to allow it right? Or does Save-on-Foods eat the difference? Because all P&G coupons say limit one manufacturer's coupon per product (or of products and quantities stated). Even if the five coupons have different UPC's, SOF would still be trying to be reimbursed based on the sale of one product.

    They permit stacking of anything as long as it has a different UPC, including P&G and Johnson&Johnson. I doubt it will last long and that is why I'm trying to stack as much as I can before they stop.

    Here is the response to you're question when asked by someone on Facebook:
