Copps Double-Double Day Trip 4/2/11 $12.94...79% OFF!

Copps Double-Double Day Trip 4/2/11 $12.94...79% OFF!

Well, that was pretty fun!  It's sooooo nice to be able to double 10 coupons in one transaction.  It really takes a lot of the complexity out of shopping & saving at Copps.  I'm pretty pleased with the over-all cost here.  When I arrived at the store, I realized I had forgotten to bring my $25 Copps gift cards in order to do my new $25 Rolling gift card idea.  However, as it turned out, with the deals I found (& didn't find), I ended up needing to use exactly 10 coupons (& easily met the $25 minimum without adding in a gift card purchase). I also finally remembered to try to find the new Freshetta Pizza by the Slice (with the "try me free" rebate) & was not able to locate it in the store where I shopped.  I'll continue to keep an eye out, though!  FREE is good! :-)

Speaking of "FREE is good":  Copps (just like Hy-Vee) had several Snapple 6-packs with the "full purchase price rebate" attached to the side...AND, today, I had a $1/1 snapple coupon which doubled.  So, after rebate, I ended up with a $2.00 MONEYMAKER on that one! You could too! :-)
