I LOVE Smiths. I had the greatest trip today at the Provo Smiths. They had just about everything I was looking for- no $.09 Bounty or FREE Wacky Macs- but everything else. Hooray! I wasn't able to get there Wed morning and I am so glad now I didn't fight the crazy couponer crowd.
Smiths has a deal going this whole week (ends Tues) where they are making any coupon less than a dollar worth $1, so a $.25 coupon is magically a $1 coupon. A $1 coupon is still $1. E-coupons are NOT rounding up.
I know this is a bunch of junk, but the poll date on those fruit snacks is over a year away. Sweet! Plus, there is good stuff in there too, if you can see it past the chips and pizza rolls: shredded cheese, baggies, dish soap, Light string cheese. I like that I bought the light version. Oh my gosh! I'm totally that lady at the convenience store, buying the nasty old hot dog, chips, donuts, candy, and the DIET cola. Because every calorie counts!
Really though, we like the Light Frigo better. It's delicious! Come on, you know me better then to think I would actually buy something because it's better for you.
Retails: $112.48
Total Spent: $22.84
Percent Off: 80%
How did I do it?
Smiths also has a promotion they're calling the Daytona 500 promo where when you buy 10 select items you get $3 off instantly, basically a $.30 per item discount.
I have loaded e-coupons onto my card from the following places: cellfire, shortcuts, and softcoin. All you do is select the coupons you want. They are linked to your Smiths card so when you check out they automatically come off.
