Repeated the L'oreal transaction at another store along with two more FREE pacifiers.  You can sign up for a $2 Playtex coupon (they email it to you 24 hours later) but I forgot to bring those with me.  Using that coupon, you could get free sippy cups.  They ranged from $5.99 - $6.29ish at my store.

ShopRite

• Baby Carrots $0.99 with super coupon from circular
• 4 Kraft Milk Bites $2.99 each, used four $1 coupons (2/26 SS) and six Kraft Fresh Takes Kits $2.50 each, used four $1 coupons (2/26 SS), got back $20 in catalinas for Munch Mania promo and $4 Kraft catalina = $5.04 profit 
• Used $10 in catalinas, total was $9.90

I followed a scenario I found on SD for four Milk Bites and four Fresh  Takes but no catalina printed.  I assume that scenario was based on shelf prices (my bad for not checking) so I had to buy another two Fresh  Takes at CS.  What a hassle that was.  The gal at the counter did not understand the promo at all.  She kept trying to tell me that it was fine that the catalinas didn't print and that they'd print one a time over the next four weeks (NO - you're supposed to get four $5 catalinas and each one is good for a specific week).  Then she said I could just take the extra two Fresh Tastes to any register and the catalinas would print (NO - everything has to be bought in a single transaction).  Finally, she got it but the CS desk didn't have catalina printers.  So one of the managers brought out that magic sheet where they scan the code and the catalinas print - but she had to do it at one of the self-checkout registers.  Very strange.


Tried one of the strawberry Milk Bites bars just now and I gotta say, not sure I like them very much.  They have a strange taste.  They have to be refrigerated, so they were with the dairy stuff in the store.

The cashier had just changed the register tape prior to ringing me up and there was a piece of tape stuck to the top of my receipt.  He happily ripped that off and handed me the receipt - which now had NO prices listed for any of my P&G purchases.  All that info had printed on the piece of tape.  This was my last stop of the day, I was hot and tired and really wanted to get home, so naturally, there was a long line at Customer Service.  After a bit of a wait, they printed out a new receipt for me to use on the rebate.
