Lea – our PnS/Copps deals ‘normally’ go Thursday – Wednesday in the Madison area…I say normally because with holiday weeks/weekends they go askew for a little bit but that seems to be the normal run. And our ad is hit and miss to match up with the site – some weeks it seems that it’s exact to the previous week on here and other weeks it seems 1/2 previous and 1/2 current week! But at least I get a heads up on some things to look for :) HTH!

Carrie,
I tried it today, and they doubled with $25 shelf price!
So thank you for convincing me to try it again. It is so much easier to get to $25 with shelf price! There must have been store coupons in my stack.

I received a print out last week (maybe because I bought Kraft cheese items). And I heard a rumor on the frugal blogs I read. It was this huge Catalina print out. I got it at my Pick N Save in NE WI.

Lea,
Glad to see that I’m not the only coupon wierdo in SE wisconsin (oak Creek) that does the coupon spreadsheet! I’ve had nothing but problems at the pick n saves on 27 & college, 76 and rawson and holt. but the one on 27 & ryan is pretty good. but I always have to double check the ads and always take the ad with me to point things out. and I watch the cashier like a hawk as she checks my stuff out. i put the items on the belt in the same order that I have my spreadsheet typed up. that way it is easier to compare. Good luck!

That happened to me this week too (FL). The manager came over and took them off after the register already accepted them. She said they dont take Walmart Qs. Another cashier yelled out “yes we do, it says ‘manufacturer’ on them.” The manager told her that they dont. I politely said “I have been doing this for about 6 months with no problem.” She said they have never taken them. I said with a wink, “well I guess it all depends on which cashier I go to.” In the end it only costs me $4 but I was still upset.

Unless you get unlucky and get a renegade cashier who manually overrides the cash registers computers and “undoubles” your coupons. I have been doing this for 6 months now and have only had 1 cashier manually “undouble”.

What is the deal with Rainbow not taking RR anymore unless for a specific item? Or is this just a Rainbow (Nothtown-Blaine) store? it is so frustrating on how they seem to change policy without notice? I know the double cpns makes rainbow a good deal and with the gas discounts but I think there customer service/policy procedures are much more difficult.

I asked at the Maple Grove store and she said they didn’t get any of the coupon books. I was bummed because I wanted the BOGO muffins badly as I have used up the ones in my freezer from last time they were BOGO. :o(
