Update on Smith's Coupon Policy

I learned tonight that Smiths has changed their coupon policy yet again. I don't want to have to get on my soap box again but let it just be said that if people continue to abuse the store's acceptance of competitor coupons, then pretty soon they aren't going to even accept them at all.

The Idaho Smiths stores are the only stores that accept competitor coupons and they have slowly changed their policy because people are taking advantage. I'm sure it's none of my readers tho!! ;)

Their new policy: They will only accept competitor coupons from other GROCERY stores.

I was told that they will no longer accept Walgreens, Shopko, Kmart, and other store's catalina coupons. They will continue to accept Albertsons and Fred Meyer coupons. Target was not mentioned and I didn't think about it until I left so I am not certain if they are accepting Target coupons still or not. I will let you know when I find out.

Please, use your coupon etiquette when shopping. Be kind, don't take all of the coupon books, ads, or items. Leave some for others and don't do what you know is wrong. There are a few who do this and ruin it for the rest of us.

My Mega Event Trips

OK, so I've really been talking up this Mega Event sale at Smiths the last two weeks and for good reason...it was a good one!! There were so many coupons to pair with the great sale prices! I wish that I would have had my card reader so I could have dazzled you all with pictures of my purchases ;) however, my kids ran away with it again and so I am picture-less. I did a tally and thought I would at least share the numbers with you.

Over the last two weeks I made six trips to Smiths. I left each time with a cart full of groceries!! Not just a few items, but TONS of stuff. I was able to re-stock on lots of items that I needed and I got enough to last my family months. I spent more than I usually do in two weeks time but like I said, I got so much for my money!

Total Spent: $241.15

Total Saved: $807.12 or 77%

Albertsons Coupon Book

These Albertsons coupon books are now available at the Twin Falls store. They are on display by both entrances but are going quickly. Please be polite and don't take them all. Only take what you will use and save some for everyone else.

Inside is a $1/1 Fresh Express Salad kit that can be paired with the $1.47 store coupon (ends today!!) final price: $.47

Also, there is a $1/2 12 pk of Coke coupon that can be used at Smiths to pair with their 4 for $11 Coke sale (also ends today!!) final price: $9 for 4 cases, or $2.25 each.

There is also a $2/2 Quaker instant oatmeal coupon inside. This can be used if you got a rain check on instant oatmeal from last week's Quaker sale, making them free.

Walgreens Coloring Book with Coupons is HERE!

Have you been reading about all of these great coupons found inside the Walgreens coloring book, but NEVER being able to find the coloring book??? Well, the new Walgreens store in Twin Falls FINALLY has them in stock!!! (The old store might have them too, I just haven't been there yet)

These are $.99 each and come with all of the above coupons inside the cover. They are located in the pharmacy next to the cash register. There are some great coupons in here, especially the $1 Huggies coupon to pair with the great sale on Huggies this week. You don't need to buy 3 like I did tho, I wasn't thinking and bought one book for each package of diapers I was buying but they just enter the code and don't even take your coupon, so one book will suffice. I shared my other 2 books with friends.
(so no need to buy them all, save some for everyone else!!)

Last Day of Mega Event Sale at Smiths

Today is the last day of the Mega Event Sale at Smiths. This has been an awesome sale!! Part of me is happy that it is ending because I have spent a lot of time at Smiths over the last 2 weeks, I need a break.

Those of you looking for Gold Fish crackers at the Twin Falls store, there are more, they are just in a bin up front by the rotisserie chicken.

Check out my Smiths posts HERE, HERE and HERE for match-ups for this sale.
