Fun With Competitor’s Coupons!

Since I found out that my local CVSes take competitor’s coupons, I had a bit of a field day, or field week this week! I went to CVS WAY too many times, but here are just a couple of my transactions. Twice the cashiers who rang me up didn’t even KNOW that they took competitor’s coupons, depsite a sign at the register that said so. Uhh…so I guess I gave them an education!

Thanks CVS for taking Walgreens coupons!! You are my BFF drugstore!

Now on to Kroger – the grocery deals haven’t been too hot around here lately, and I made a sort-of big trip to Meijer last week, that wasn’t really worth mentioning. But finally Kroger had some good deals this week! I got all this:

For $11.59!! The total before coupons and promotions was $29.59! So I saved $18! The cereal was 4/$10 and if you bought 4 you got an additional $4 off your order. Of course I had four of the $2 coupons for the Chocolate Honey Bunches of Oats, so I ended up getting paid $2 to buy these! The Nestle Quik chocolate milk singles were free with doubled coupons, too. Yay!

Well that is all I got folks! To see more, head over to the “Cents”ible Sawyer for CVS Superstars and to our guru Money Saving Mom for Super Savings Saturday!

  1. So incredibly jealous!!!! I wish my CVS took competitor’s coupons. Lucky girl

  2. Unbelievable! I’m serious. I don’t know how you do it! I think you may be the most successful person I’ve ever met.

    Now, hoooook me up with some chocolate clusters, would’ya?!?

  3. Okay, I read and I read and I read your blog and I try and I try and I try to get it…. is there a book for dummies on how you do this??? Or a simple way like “Tiffany its like this….1..2..3…A>>>B>>C>>>????” Any such luck?? I went to the one site way back when and just got more cornfused….ugghhh…I dunno you are like AMAZING with this and I wanna be like you when I grow up!!!!!

  4. Ok, I have to know what area your CVS is located. I have checked with my 3 area stores and they all act like they have never heard of this and I have been looking for the signage.

  5. Jenny, can you really stack walgreens coupons with manufacturer coupons? I have been afraid to try…….I had fun using walgreens coupons this week at the lebanon cvs – it is the only one in my area (warren county ohio that I have found will take them). Thanks for the tip!!!!!

  6. Just checking in to make sure you’re still at it. Didn’t have to scroll too far down 😉 And not only that, you’re innovating. Guerrilla couponing? Let me just say I’m glad I’m on your side.
