Post Wisdom Tooth Surgery Shop

[candymom1]

Okay so some of you may know that I have had major issues with this one evil wisdom tooth. A few months back it got infected and I learned it was also impacted in my jaw and would not grow out. I ended up in emerg they gave me antibiotics and pain killers and told me after I was done the meds to go get the tooth out. Well I didnt mainly financial reasons and a pinch of I hate the dentist lol. Needless to say 2.5 weeks ago evil wisdom tooth seeked vengance again and i yet again ended up in emerg last weekend! This time I took the antibiotics pain killers and made an appointment for Thursday to get it out! Was scared since the dentist said depending how badly its impacted they may of had to dislocate or saw my jaw :S Happy ending once they cut through my gum and got to the tooth it came out fairly easy no need to hurt my jaw! Now I am healing up, in a lot of pain and discomfort still and still cannot each solid foods but I knew I needed to go out today to pick up stuff I ordered prior to my emerg visit and since my coupons expire tomorrow for most of it ...

Needless to say the planning and actual shop took me 2x longer than normal due to bathroom visits to talk to the proceline god (side effect of the lovely pain meds and no food sucks) and lack of brains due to being high off my rocker on pain killers.

I also spent time leaving ALL my july and early aug expires around the store for the ones I will not use so other can use them, saw a few fairied coupons along my way too nice to know there are other generous couponers in my area

Sorry for the long story lol havent posted a brag in a long time lol

Awesome brag!!

I have to ask though - for the Listerine, are you using the Printable coupon from here: http://coupons.smartcanucks.ca/get/c...isterine-3661/

If so, how are you able to buy multiples in the same transaction when the coupon states "One coupon per person and per purchase". I keep taking that as meaning I can only buy 1 each trip and get another at another time (so on & so forth); am I reading the restriction wrong?
I would love to manage multiples at once!

[fullyfrugal]

thats a huge brag!! Thats a receipt to keep!

[momgoneawol]

Awesome. My walmart does not give the max. value on FPC but writes in the actual selling price at the store. Way to go.

[savesgirl]

Awesome brag! Kraze-I thought that too, till someone on SC explained it to me. One coupon per purchase means one coupon per item that you are buying. It's not one coupon per transaction, that's what your thinking it means and what I thought it meant. A lot of cashiers think it means one coupon per transaction, so don't let them tell you that, you tell them what it really means. If you purchase 5 items in your transaction you can use 5 coupons, one coupon per item. Hope you understand what I mean

Mine only does if it has a max value if it says up to they write in the price plus any applicable taxes as long as it doesnt go over if it does they write in the up to amount

Nope I used the 3.00 off Zero those are the new Zero mouth wash its 250 ml reg price 3.37 - 3.00 printable = 0.37 ea and my wm doesnt have an issue with one per person or one per transaction as they would rather not do a million seperate transactions so they just put them through together

thats a huge brag!! Thats a receipt to keep!

Thanks, lol I have a better receipt than this ... I got over 400.00 worth of products FREE and they paid me 18.40 overage at the end lol that was an amazing shop this one is too I saved a whack load

I understand the "one coupon per purchase", but both Listerine coupons (and most of the printables from the same site) specifically state "Limit one coupon per purchase and per person", so I am just wondering if I am simply misunderstanding that statement.

You are not misunderstanding it does state that but my walmart doesnt care about the one per customer. Same as the nivea coupons say one per customer and they put through as many as you have. It depends on the store and the manager my walmart is amazing and their staff is 100% trained I never have to pull out my policy I have had csm's cash me out many times as well. I only shop at wm ... (few things needed they dont carry I go to NF's but 99.9% of my shopping is done at WM)

They are anal out my way & spend a pile of time reading the coupons - I'm not daring enough to take more than one to the cash at a time lol

Would they do them in separate transactions due to the wording do you think?

I'm still in awe over your brag though, you did such a great job.

[galliefamily]

OMG THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING BRAG EVER... SORRY ABOUT YOUR TOOTHE BUT HOLY EFFIN COW YOUR AWESOME... GOOD FOR YOU... I ALSO THINK IT'S GREAT THAT YOU GET THE MAX VALUES ON YOUR FPCS TOO... OH MY EFFIN GOD THIS IS A GREAT BRAG LOL... ok I think I made my point good for you... You rock

Aw that sucks I have another WM that is that way too so if I know the max value is going to be more than the product I will go to my main WM even though its a little further out of my way lol

I cant see why they wouldn't take them in seperate transactions they send them all in together anyways lol
