That is fantastic!!! I am really excited for this week

Spent a little more than I wanted to, but later realized my JF did not come off on any transaction and the GM 4.00 off did not come off on one of my transactions,either. Here's what I did...

5 NV protein bars 12.50
3 Toaster Strudels 6.00
4 JF Hairsprays ( did not carry anything else, and these were tagged) 22.36
2 Trix yogurts 4.38
4 Kraft Indulgences 11.96
1 Kraft Milk Bites ( YUM!) 3.49
1 Brawny Paper Towels 5.99


Instant savings did not come off for JF or GM
After Coupons/Paid- 29.00 and some change
Got back $10.00 in cats ( 2x1.50, 1 4.00 & 1 3.00)

Transaction 2

6 Progresso Soups 8.00
2 gogurts 4.00
4 JF hairsprays 22.36
1 Newspaper 1.75


JF IS did not come off so at this point i'm guessing these do not work, even though tagged.
The 4.00 GM IS did come off this round.
After Coupons and $10.00 in cats from T1= 7.00 and some change

Went to customer service to see why my GM/JF did not come off and she said they should have both came off Instantly. She gave me a gift card for the $14.00 .

Another thing to note is that the $3/30 and $6/60 are not going through, they need an override. The manager stated it has been happening all day.

You did great even with the GM and JF issues!!!

~Heather~

I think you did great!

And I think the best thing about these buy 8, get $4.00 off deals, is that if it doesn't come off, you have all the proof you need in the ad and the products you bought! No worrying about trying to explain how the deals always go by shelf price and not sale price lol

It looks like you got a CAT on the Nature Valley Bars? Were they the chewy ones?

Thanks guys!

Oh i agree! It's a total pain trying to explain the whole shelf price thing! lol We only have one Weis close to us so i try to stay on good terms with them and when something like that happens, i worry lol.


Yes!!! They work!! I was so excited! lol Yup, they were the chewy ones!

I have my list ready to go but I am terrified of the instant savings not coming off, this time I will be watching that register like a hawk!!

This is allow multiple instant savings in one transaction right? Do you think its better to do separate transactions?

I would think it would come off multiple times. The ad doesn't put a restriction on it. I didn't read the fine print on the shelf tags though.

I always do separate transactions. But that's usually because of doubling just 4 coupons. And I live down the street from the store...so if I don't feel like doing more than one transaction, I just go back the next day and get some more lol

Did you know you can scroll the receipt up and down on the pin pad? (Is that what people call it?..the thing where you scan your bank card to pay) Because all the BOGO and instant savings come off quick at the end and you can't see that many lines on there. They showed me once that you can scroll it up and down. So I do that when my total is off from what I think it should be.

Sometimes I let it go and then go to customer service when something rings up the wrong price, because they know they are supposed to then make it FREE, where the cashier usually just fixes the price. But with instant savings and BOGO's, there's no additional savings for it ringing up wrong.
