of course not all my grocery trips are like this.. i do purchase products at full price or just the regular sale price with no coupon or PM so the mfg's are still making money off me! i just started to learn to stack, PM & wait to use my coupons when there's a sale thx to u all

[tidytaurus]

Wow, awesome shopping trip, thx for sharing.

[Sanrio]

Nestea - 2L $1.24??? I saw they are selling at $1.89 each. When is this $1.24 sales end?

[jojos_n_kelowna]

Is the $25 mc prepaid card specific to buying these items at RCSS? Do you need a form? Details Details..lol

[Terri Lynn]

Nestea - 2L $1.24??? I saw they are selling at $1.89 each. When is this $1.24 sales end?

not sure.. it wasnt in their weekly flyer, it was just priced on the shelf so not sure how long it lasts with that price.. check walmart for their 2L pricing.. maybe cheaper?

not sure.. it wasnt in their weekly flyer, it was just priced on the shelf so not sure how long it lasts with that price.. check walmart for their 2L pricing.. maybe cheaper?

I online checked RCSS weekly flyer, there's no Nestle. I remember seeing the price for 2L at $1.89. Maybe not every store.

Well, I will stop by RCSS tomorrow. If I am lucky, then I can pick up some.

Thank you.

[hatherb]

You did really well!I have the problem at my LD where they won't PM Safeway or OWT because they say they are "club prices"?

[cherry_lola]

Which location did you go to?
Robson is the only one I found challenge-free, so far.
Maybe it's just my bad-luck?

thx

[hatherb]

Victoria and Colwood BC. Other wise they have been super fantastic.
2 clerks also wanted to know where to find such great coupons !
Of course I told them.

Mine LD too. Can't PM Safeway's flyer.


Anyway. I have 1 good news and 1 bad news after visiting RCSS today.

Good news is: 2L Nestea at RCSS is $1.24 each.

Bad news is they only have around 10 bottles old packages and with a red label "out of stock". I guess there won't be any new stock for 2L. Also, there's a limit of 4. If stock is available, then I need to make 3 purchase to get 10 bottles.

yeah, i had one cashier who had to ask the manager on shift.. i just showed them my safeway club card & told them it was a free sign up card safeway offers that gets you on their mailing list, similar to the Save-On card that also gives you free points to collect to redeem for free groceries. That's the only way Safeway offers their sale prices.. Try going to a different LD & see if they'll do it

You did really well!I have the problem at my LD where they won't PM Safeway or OWT because they say they are "club prices"?

the new one down by Marine Way in Burnaby - there's a new plaza there.. i also go to the LD by Metrotown

Which location did you go to?
Robson is the only one I found challenge-free, so far.
Maybe it's just my bad-luck?

thx

The CS at LD told me that LD doesn't match "Club Price". It doesn't matter whether that is a free or paid membership. LD does not match Club Price - that's it.

I am not going to agree with her. I can buy the goods later at other time or other store.

Broadway LD doesnt match club prices like Safeway too
