King Soopers...Round 3!

Another trip, more stuff, more saved!

2 Nature Valley Sweet n Salty Granola Bars (1.99) .70 coupon doubled to $1, --1.50 each

PLUS
Large Box Trix (3.45--NOT part of the promotion, I grabbed the wrong one and we didn't catch it til I was home. =( I may return it tomorrow.) .55 coupon doubled to $1--2.45 YIKES!

Total OOP=10.95
BUT
There was a major mix up that I'm very frustrated with at this point. My $5 didn't come off at first, so we went back to figure out why. I see now that they didn't see all 5 boxes of Granola bars on the receipt, and didn't realize that the bigger Trix didn't count. They scanned one of my granola bars again, thinking they'd missed it, and the $5 came off. BUT I paid for a box of granola bars I didn't get, and I paid over $2 for the dang Trix! Rip Off! I may go back in the am and see what they can do for me...if anything. Still, I saved 73%. Oh, and my granola bar catalina printed.

I got my Fruit snack catalina, and the supreme brownies with cookie dough are AMAZING!!!
PLUS, when I got home I realized the Stickerz were the boxes that "may" have a cash card inside, and of course, I checked....they ALL had a $5 card inside!

total OOP 20.49
Savings of 49%

All in all, a great trip...but that extra box of granola bars I paid for and didn't get and the Trix really annoy me.

*UPDATE* I just called and they said to bring the Trix back and tell them where they went wrong, and they'd make it right...so I feel a little better. I'll hope to get a refund for the Trix, and take home that extra box of Granola Bars that I paid for but didn't get.

Happy Shopping!

  1. What are the Stickerz and what is the cash card? I just woke up from a nap and think straight to figure it out.

    Thanks

  2. Stickerz are a fruit snack type product...they're on the shelf by the fruit snacks. And some of the Stickerz boxes contain pre-loaded $5 credit cards! Basically, FREE CASH!
