$180 saved today and walked out empty handed!

[Chantel]

At LD of course! Compared to other people that's not gigantic, but I'm usually a person who likes to stockpile over time. I figured for this deal, I needed to just do it TODAY and not wait, because LD might not have this sale again before my coupons expire.

I feel fairly proud of myself here, because I was patient, calculated and double checked everything (including asking how many were in stock in the warehouse, there were about 200!) before I even asked to place an order. And place an order I did! On WHAT though, you ask?



I put in an order for THIRTY packs of 20-count Finish Quantum Powerballs! 30 x 20 = 600 LOADS! PLUS I have 305 loads worth of Finish of various kinds that I've been collecting since probably November!

That's 905 loads total, which is about 3 years worth of dishwashing detergent! I had been so disappointed about 2 weeks ago because Safeway had them on for $5 and the shelf was cleared, and I can't place an order on a PM'd item. But a little disappointment can lead to a huge score later on! So as opposed to getting 8, I got 30!

All together, including the tax on the boxes I ordered and the ones I already have, we spent less than $40, probably closer to $30! I'd say that's probably about an 80% or more savings over what we used to pay for dish detergent, but I haven't done the final calculations yet.

I know it's a lot, but I'm always very careful to make sure never to inconvenience anybody else when I'd like a lot of something.

I also put in an order 2 weeks ago for 50 single Pure Protein bars at Walmart, still waiting for those to come in, but when they do I'll post a picture of those, too!

Pictures will be added as soon as I pick up my orders! I'll probably do an updated stockpile post if anybody wants to see it

Some other finds from Saturday at RCSS and walmart:
2 x 1kg Cherry pie - 50% = $3.50 ea.
2 x 4-ct Paczkis (polish donuts, apparently)- 50% = $1/box
6 x PC brand Chocolate Pecan Caramel squares - 50% = $1.30ish a package
1 x Yoptimal - 50% = $2.00 - $1 coupon = $1
4 x Tostitos @ $2 (At walmart) + 2 free dips!

At the till at RCSS, the lady in front of me had tostitos, and I offered her a coupon and to run back and get her some free dip. I've been doing exercise routines and pulled muscles in both of my calves so SPRINTING to the dip aisle to get her a dip wasn't the best idea! But I did it and she was so grateful I love fairying to people, I do it a ton at walmart and people have all been so happy!

[Chantel]

Thank you very much everyone!

I've used lots of coupons without a scan bar, they all have a upc of some sort just no scan bar.

I haven't actually used these specific coupons yet, but I've used lots of unilever ones and they all just have barcodes, no scan codes.

Don't really know what to tell you, sorry! Maybe ask for a manager and explain that Canada doesn't have scanned coupons so certain companies don't put the barcode on, they just use the numbers.

awsome!

That would be cool if they give you the overage for the protien bars! I got I for 3 of them one day...so for 50 of them would be nice! I mentioned to my cashier that the value of the cpn was 2.29 and that is what they punched it in as!!

[Chantel]

Lucky! I'm just hoping I won't have a fight about the tax being included, if I got overage... WOW! That would be a dream come true.
