Changes......Bear with Me........



Changes are happening ........


For those of you night owls who like to cruise my site, it will be down for a short while. Not to fear, Facebook is here. You will see alot of changes, and when we're done, things will be slightly different.

Bear with me, as these changes are going to be new for you, and new for me. I'm so used to blogging in Blogger it will take me a while to adjust to new changes that are going to happen.



I look forward to your thoughts on what you will see, in just a short period of time.......




UPDATE: PaPaYa Thai Restaurant (Weforia) - SUCCESS!





Those of you who jumped on the PaPaYa bandwagon yesterday to get a $25 Gift Card for just $10 (less if you had a promo code) -- I had a reader who emailed me, concerned that the restaurant would not take her certificate.

I called Weforia yesterday directly, and spoke with the appropriate department, who indicated that the restaurant is under a contractual obligation to accept the certificate ~ in other words, they have already signed a contract, and they are not permitted to back out of the Weforia deal as advertised.

Today, I received the following email....I wanted to share with you to lessen your concerns about taking the certificate there to eat:


Good Afternoon all,



We apologize for the confusion that this Papaya Thai Weforia deal may have caused you. We spoke with the client today and have come to terms that they will accept all of the vouchers sold up until this point. You voucher may be redeemed at the Papaya Thai location and the customer will uphold their end of this deal.


Once again, please accept our apologies for the confusion on this offer.




Thanks,



Weforia Team
GroupBuy@Yellowbook.com

 
 
Rest assured that you can use your certificate there with confidence ~ I know I will :) And better yet, perhaps we should "scope out " the place...make it a huge coupon gathering! (ha!)
 
 

And the Winner Is.......


The winner.......of the $40 CSN Gift Certificate is.......







Dee - you rock! I will be emailing you shortly!


Gosh you guys/gals....I'm STOKED for tomorrow. I can't tell ya but I'm super super excited.


Hope you all are excited to see what's in store...............

Those of you who are going to drop in and do your Mega trips, you should be able to find both Valentine and Regular M&M's in the candy aisle.....  I know my store had a ton.

Make sure you buy other items, since these are participating in the Mega - you will need "10" items to get the mega discount!

Walgreens Deals 01/30 - 02/05



Keep in mind I did not do the entire ad! Just the items I think are most notable.


You can see the ad scan HERE (Thanks Amit19!!). Some things to keep in mind when shopping at Wags:

  • Walgreens has a new coupon policy effective 08/26/2010 - go HERE to view!
  • The January Walgreens Coupon Book can be found in the front of the store, OR, you can print the coupons HERE!
  • I Heart Wags has a wonderful spreadsheet you can download HERE to track your spending!
  • The total amount of Register Rewards (RR’s) + Coupons cannot exceed the total number of items being purchased. If you have 4 coupons, and 3 items, then you will need a “filler” – think cheap pencil, pack of seeds, etc. In-ad coupons do not count against that.
  • RR’s for item A can be used to purchase another item A, but you will not get any RR’s. You must use RR’s from item C to get RR’s for item A. (Confusing? Yes..I know…hence why I don’t like Walgreens!)
  • RR’s have an expiration date of 2 weeks.
  • Lastly, if my "coupon-lingo" is too much to comprehend, go here to read more about my abbreviations!

Come back Saturday to see "Rollin' at Wags: Scenarios for Beginners!"
