My crankiness at missing out on the grocery deals has evaporated.
3 Scotch Precision scissors $24.87 (prices vary by store from $7.99-8.99, mine were $8.29)
Subtotal $30.84
Less three $1 Scotch coupons, less $3.94 tissue paper in-ad coupon, less $15.90 scissors in-ad coupon
Total $7.97, received back $5 Super Jingle Cash (for spending $25+ before coupon), $5 RR for buying six Hallmark products
$2.03 profit!!!
I did the above transaction two times.
Shelf price $61.62
Total $15.94 (paid in gift card & cash)
Rewards earned $20
$4.06 profit
On page 15 of this week's Walgreens ad circular are two coupons: one for tissue paper at three for $1, the other for the scissors at $2.99ea.
The tissue paper is likely in the aisle with all the rest of the Christmas wrapping paper and gift bags. The scissors are likely in the school supplies aisle. Buy the above items, hand over your $1 scissors coupons first, then have the cashier scan the in-ad coupons. Repeat as often as you'd like and as often as your store allows.
Yes, I got six pair of scissors. With several family members now couponing with me, this is a good time of year to grab a few extras. At this (lack of!) price, even if you don't want to gift them it makes sense to grab a few pair to keep on hand. Who doesn't use scissors??
And if you don't want tissue paper, you can just buy 3 pair of scissors for $2.99ea, less the $1 coupons for a total of $5.97 and get $5 in Super Jingle Cash back - $.97 for three pair!
Be sure to check the price of these at your store; if they're less than $8.49ea, you'll need to grab a couple candy bars or other fillers to get your pre-coupon total up to $25.
As always, if doing more than one transaction at Wags, don't use the rewards/"Jingle Cash" from the previous transaction to pay for the next one.
