aaaaahhhhh i see! the All Bran offer on CO51 will not work for us because we dont eat that cereal. but now that i am thinking about using most of my sdm coupons to reach $75.00 shopping limit, i'll see which kellogs cereal i am going to pick. i am thinking about maximizing my points so that my OOP seems to be zero considering the value of points. :) :cool1:
8000 points Wus $40 on baby formula, food , or diapers AND 20x on enfamil! Made out like a bandit today.
I'm donating the cereal - I'm on my way out the door and will post my transaction later but this morning I bought 50% things I want/need and 50% I don't but the points offers and coupons/rebates brought my total (pre-tax) to $59.87- redeemed points, paid $4.25 tax - claimed $6C51 (4 cereals and 1 ice cream) and I earned 36, 200 points so the stuff I didn't want helped to bring up the points and total to a place where the stuff I did want cost 1800 in points
.
Yes, I ended up having problems after all
I could not combine the 8000 wus $30 with the 18,500 wus $75, which was fine. So I opted for the 8000 wub $30 on food/snack.
What I did not realize was that milk would not count towards the $30.
Since my milk was $16 of the $30, I didn't even get the 8000 pts :(
Oh well, maybe next time
dreamcatcher, the milk should have counted in the total for food/snacks. It always has for me in the past. However, if you used your $2 off Bryer's ice cream, which was a personalized SDM coupon, that would have brought your total down. Personalized SDM coupons for $ off reduce your base total, as it gets processed as a price adjustment. If you used that coupon, you would have needed to have your total cost be $32 before coupon.
But there could be some candy items that would not have counted toward the $30, don't know if you had any of those items.
It's not always clear which items get counted in the food/snack category, versus which ones get counted in the candy/snack category.
You were right. I tried to buy $20 worth of pop and snacks and coupon would not go through so I added $8 more (the equivalent of what pop amount was) in snack food and the coupon worked.
I also had 800 bp WUB any quo product. I picked up an emery board for 25c in the clearout section and got 800 pts for it. Also got 800 pts on .88c palmolive.
In the end I earned 27070 BP today. Pretty happy with that. Got a lot of gift packs to stash away for next year to break up for stocking stuffers.
