But perhaps some other SCers have more experience with that than I do.

yes, your analysis looks very reasonable, its just last time, I had get 8k when buy $30 on vitamins, and there is also an offer buy $50 get 20X pt, someone told me, I can get both 8k+10k if I spend 30on vitamins and 20 more on sth else. So I was thinking of the possibility of combine this time 10k+18.75k.

I have gad it work in the past if you can get the cashier to do it. If you use manufacturer coupons to bring your total below $75 you can usually get them to scan as the cashiers will all tell you you won't get the points because you are below the $75 threshold. I think it will work but there is a chance it won't so you have to decide if it is worth the risk. I don't think you are really supposed to do it.

2nd week in a row dh hadn't received email offers. :bawling:

That one is a little different, because the 8000 points are added right away (I've used a get 4000 WUS $20 on food and snacks during a 20x the points promo weekend just fine). When they are added the next month (like the 20x coupon), there is time for your transaction to be examined before points are awarded. But again, I'd like to here other's experiences with this

Thank you very much, I've learnt a lot.

Then I will just spend on sth I really need this time, not risking buying sth to make up the 75. .

This week i can get 2 items for free....

colgate toothpaste on sale for $0.99 and i got a coupon for $1.00 off any colgate toothpaste or toothpolish.

head & shoulders travel size shampoo (i think store price is 2.50 or less) and i got a coupon for $3.00 off any head & shoulders.

now i have so many travel size shampoos and conditioners that i am losing interest in getting free travel size items or freebies or samples from their companies. Lol.

one of my personalized offers this week was Ivory dish Soap B1G1 free..... funny thing is my store doesn't even carry Ivory :confused: ... they carry Dawn, Palmolive, Sunlight and Greenworks.....
not to worry - last week I had the one for $1.50 off any dish soap so I got two of the Dawn (some red one that smells heavenly- Thai Dragon Fruit) for $.49 each as they were on sale (bought on two different days).... meant to get back and do it again but didn't get a chance :(

Some of my other other offers were $3.99 for 4L Dairyland Milk, $2 off any cheese, 2000 pts for any coffee (we're a picky household with coffee but I managed to find a reasonably priced package of beans :) ) and 1500 pts for Herbal Essence Shampoo (aaah no way - it's priced at 5.99 this week - not a great offer) and $1.25 off any Tiger Towels .... bought enough of the paper towel a few weeks ago.... still decent offers all in all :)

if you are interested in buying travel size item then herbal essences is usually priced @ $1.99, if you use 1500 bp coupon then you are getting it for less than 30 cents i guess.. :)

Thanks for the tip Amira - in my store the travel size was $2.69 .... Just one of those things where the personalized offer doesn't line up with the product being on sale .... and at regular price it just doesn't make sense to buy. I mean if it was a product that I use all the time as a staple - different thing but with shampoo and soaps - I get them almost always when they are very inexpensive/close to free or the coupon and sale line up so it makes sense to buy :)

It was the dish soap one I was confused by - could it be good on any dish soap? Why would they put in a brand that they don't even carry - that's just strange ....

For the personalized coupons, can you use more than once? ie print 2 sets of coupons, and use them in different times? Thanks!

Yes you can,my store allows me to use the 2nd coupon at the same time,I don't need to go again.
but it does work more then once for sure.

i got buy any one paper towel get one for free this week. The tiger paper towel is on sale for $4.99. Can I use $3 off manufacture coupon for one pack and get one for free personalized coupon for 2nd pack? Thanks.

Shoppers for BOGO coupons I believe does 50% off the items so you pay $2.49 each so technically you can use two manufacture coupons, if they are the $3 ones then they will reduce the coupon because they do not give overage. Of course this will only work if your shoppers allows the use of personalized coupons and manufacture ones on the same item.
