I expect all of you to do better than me this week. So many great deals, so little time, sigh 
Someone was in Forty East Publix in Ocala today buying over 300 (yes 300) boxes of Ronzoni pasta. Was that a reader from this blog? If so, please let us in on the deal.
OK, I have an update on the 300+ pasta. The customer was not buying them, she was returning them. From the eye rolls and the way I’ve now heard she spoke to and treated the employees, it sounds questionable…but Publix policy is to do returns, no questions asked. In my opinion, this customer was NOT COOL!!!
Wow! Was she trying to scam them? How did she get 300 boxes in the first place? I’m really surprised they had that many on hand in the store…they always seem to be short on the BOGO items when I go in.
300 ? and return ? Man, that is very unethical. That is these kind of couponers who will hurt us in the end.
One of my coworkers whom I printed 10 pasta coupons for her told me that Hunter crossing Publix was not friendly to couponers because they do not allow her to buy any kind of pasta beside wheat, I told her that is what the coupon stated. She said she then went to Newsberry and they let her buy it. I told her might be the Newsbery staff did not realize and that does not make her right. I said she is being dishonest and try to cheat the store. She was teary and said she did not mean to cheat the store. I then realize might be she just being ignorant and new about all these coupon stuff. So I told her to read coupon careful in the future.
So I think there are some who really did not know, they did not mean to cheat the store but there are other group who really out there to cheat the store.
Did the store let that customer did the return ?
Is Rozani pasta buy 1 get 1 free this week and if there is coupon related to it ?
It is frustrating to go to store and cannot get the stuff but don’t let them frustrate you , get rain check.
The Rozoni was BOGO 2 weeks ago.
Muellers is BOGO this week, but she was returning Ronzoni. I have no idea how she ever bought 300+ boxes. I also don’t know if it was some kind of scam, but I’m suspicious. I’m going to steer clear of Ronzoni from that store for a while as they try to re-sell them…I am not comfortable with the source of those boxes or if they were kept in a sanitary place, if you know what I mean.
I LOVE couponing!!!! I just bid and won 2 free oil changes on Ebay to Tires plus for $5.99 including the shipping. My hubby and I pay $25 everytime we get an oil change and both cars need one right now!
I found another deal. Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes are on sale for $1.99 Print $1.50/3 coupon http://www2.kelloggs.com/Product/KelloggCoupon.aspx?id=1992
and print 3 $1off Target coupon from hotcoupnworld. Makes all 3 boxes $1.50. I so dont need anymore cereal but thought maybe someone could use it!
Katie- keep looking and you can find $1 off 1 frosted flakes Mqs too that way it’s completely free. I found some in the shreaded wheat cereal boxes that said they had $5 in coupons, there was also one for $1 off fresh fruit wyb 1 kelloggs cereal. I paired that with target $1 off 2lb apples (99c/lb) and got 2 lbs free apples too
JB,
Which store did you find these ? and in which section ? “I found some in the shreaded wheat cereal boxes that said they had $5 in coupons, there was also one for $1 off fresh fruit wyb 1 kelloggs cereal.”
You have not posted for a while, are you ok ?
Talked to my coupon buddy last week. She asked me if I ever buy gas card at Publix. Gas card start at $20.
I was like, no, I have never thought of that.
What do you think of the scenario ?
1 $20 gas card
4 cookies $8
Total = $28
Coupon = $5 + $4 + $6 + = $15
Out of pocket = $13
$13 for $20 of gas ? Good ?
OMG, Katie,
Today I went to my spam comment email and found a whole bunch of your comment with coupon links.
I think what it was is that the spammer software look at comment with links and automatically made those comment spam.
No wonder people are saying they post links in their email but did not see it posted.
And here I was with too many things going on in my life did not check the comment part,
SORRY GUYS AND GALS!
