Awesome deals!

For the Tide, I received the same personalized coupons. Email version for $3 off and mailout coupon for 4000 bonus points for any Tide. Did the cashier give you any objection in combining those two coupons? Might give it a try.

Wow - fabulous shop. Very lucky that your points offers lined up with awesome deals on the same product - like the Tide 4000 pts and the Cookies/crackers - 2000pts - WOW.... My points one was 1200 WUB Dove Shampoo (didn't buy it as I could only find that shampoo at 5.99 (no deal there).

I am thoroughly confused about their wording on the personal offers - "can't be combined with other optimum points offers" --I thought it meant you couldn't get $ off and the points on the same product. So what does it actually mean? I use the personalized offers on a 20x pts day - so essentially combining optimum offers and it always seems to work. Just rhetorical - I don't think we'll ever know the answer

She just looked at the coupons and rang them in. I didnt really know if it was the right or wrong thing to do. I just figured i would have them all and if it was allowed great! If not I would have just took the $3 in stead of points seeing that is the only laundry detergent I can use!!!!

The funny part is we probably know more about how the optimum points system works than many of their staff ... but it still confuses all of us at times too

Wow, you sure did great at SDM. It is nice to save money and get points. My SDM only take one coupon for each item. They do not combine coupons, only one at the time. Scbpooh, thank you for sharing your brag.....................

Awesome shopping! Love the personalized shoppers coupons. I'm going there to use mine today. Love Safeway's apple crisp. I could probably eat the whole thing in one sitting it's so good.
