My Amazing Martin's Trip

Ok so I am eating my own words that shopping without kids is when you get the best deals because you have more time to pay attention to sales. I went to Martin's today with 3 of my kids to get a few things. I have to say I am over come with joy of how the customer service was this time. I am sending a note to corporate to let them know about there outstanding manager. Unfortunately for you guys most of the deals I got cannot be redone but I still wanted to share.

The the first thing I am super excited about is the Tangled Blu/Ray DVD Combo pack rang up $25.99, but in there ad(on page 7 it says Dvd ot Blu Ray and get $5 off instantly an Mattel toy). So they rang up my Blu Ray Combo and it came up $25.99 and I got the toy truck that was $5.99 and that took $5.00 off. So the manager said because they charged me wrong I get it for FREE! Can you believe he gave me the $25.99 Tangled movie for FREE!?! On top of that without thinking I had already given the cashier my $5.00 off coupon for the movie from here. So all in all I got the movie free and the truck for .99 and then another $5.00 off. Talk about great customer service to give it to me FREE. The manager said that according to there policy if they ring up an item wrong then they have to give it to you free. I cannot find this anywhere but you can check with your store. I just thought that was if I had to come back with my slip with a wrong price. Not on the spot.

Ok so next onto my other deal for cereal. I had a rain check for 3/$5 Gm cereals from a few weeks back.
3 cereals @ $1.67=$5
1 Golden Grahams for $2.85
Used 3 .55 coupons and 1 .75 coupons. All were doubled so they took $4.80 off. Comes to $3.05. Then if you buy 4 GM cereals they took $6 off(the computer automatically did this although I was using another week's deal) so they paid me $2.95 and then gave me a coupon for a FREE gallon of milk for next time! So 4 boxes of cereal and a gallon of milk(next trip)= $2.95 money maker + milk price!

Also found big rolls of Scotch shipping tape on clearance for .63 a roll(down from $2.52). I only had 1 $1.00 off coupon so 1 and a half were free and I bought all 6 bc I am moving soon and what a great price!~ Take as many of these coupons with you to get yours all for free.

I did get lots of other deals with coupons and sales. And then to top it all off I got .10 cents off per gallon of gas. Our price was $3.49 so I paid $3.39. The Durango was almost out so I cashed in big time on that one with almost 20 gallons making that another savings. Plus the place I normally stop was $3.59 today.

Giant/Martin's Frozen Food Deal

Next week, starting 3/13 it appears that Giant or Martins will have the mother of frozen food deals. For the whole month of March when you spend $100 on any( a few exclusions here) frozen food items you will earn a $25 coupon to be used on your next order.

On top of the monthly deal it appears that there will be "Additional Savings" next week on select frozen food items to get a $10 coupon when you spend $25. This second offer does not say limit 1 offer or that it cannot be combine with other offers,such as the $100 offer. So it seems that you should be able to buy $100 worth of frozen food items and get 4 of the $10 coupons back and the $25 coupon back. Making this deal $100-4x$10-$25=$35 for $100 worth of food!

The ads do state that the total is after coupons and other discounts, however some people on other sites have reported that it is adding to the total from the price without the coupon deduction. I have found some coupons for use with this deal. Wish I could give you exact prices, but they vary by region and the full ad is not out yet to see if anything is one sale.
