Since my 3 month and a half old littleguy is cutting his first tooth, and is a little beyond grumpy, I sentDH out to do this week's grocery shop.

Shoppers Transaction #2
Unfortunately DH went to the UpperJames Shoppers Drugmart in Hamilton, which is the least couponfriendly and often rudest customer service that I've everexperienced. As a result, he was hassled greatly by the cashier andafter a lecture about using coupons, she wouldn't let him use a $2Dove coupon since it was printed and another one was used in thetransaction before. Just re-affirms why I never shop at thatlocation.

Hey great brag where did u get the 1$ elpaso coupon also you can submit your ego recipt to snap saves for an extra buck

[CrazyQT]

Great shops! Your hubby did well.

I just wanted to point out that you won't get all of the salsa's free when you scop. You will get the first one free and the other 2 you will get at the $2.99 price unless they are all different UPC's. For the second order you will get the first free and the second will cost you $2.99
Just giving you a heads up so you know what to expect when you take it back.

great deals -I did the finish quantum rebate too-but I only had 1 2.00 cpn -still nice to get the 25 airmiles

[d.ot]

The eggos are long gone on snapsaves - most of their offers go really quick (except for the ones that stay on week after week). Lucky you if you can get in one any of their deals!

Wamme – the Old El Paso Salsa couponswere from a trade, but think they came from an Old El Paso Kit awhile back (could be wrong though)


Thanks for the SnapSaves idea, butunfortunately they are all gone there


CrazyQT – thanks for the heads up. My last few SCOPs gave me all the items free, so I just figured thatthe policy had changed, but guess not!


In all honesty, with a cranky baby andhubby's new trepidation over using coupons thanks to mean Shopperscashier, I doubt I'll get the chance to actually SCOP them lol!

Great shop...those strawberries look AMAAAAAZING! delicious looking produce!

[Momof3girlies]

Excellent shopping !!

[lotsasavings]

That was a lot of shopping! Your DH did an amazing job!

(I avoid the Upper James SDM location, too, for the same reasons.)

Great Shop and nice brag! Kudos to your hubby to go out and do everything as planned! I wish mine will do it one day!

All my flyers were ruined by kids coming for Halloween candies on Thursday so didn't see the deals to PM. Looks like most of the things that I bought from NF yesterday were actually more expensive than other stores this week. Oh well... will be talking to my flyer delivery kid this time.

OOps... sorry for the rant! This is about your brag and great score again!

Nice job to the both of you.. I organize my coups too for my dh.. my hubby went out and a walmart cashier told him he was a keeper
