Making My Double Double Daze Pre-order Plan

By -
I have already told ya that March 3rd is DOUBLE Double Daze, where Copp's and Pick N Save will double TEN coupons, up to a $1 value, per transaction.

I have been going through my coupons to make my plan, even though I hadn't seen the ads yet!

I know I have 40 coupons for $1 off 2 boxes of Barilla Whole Grain Pasta (expires 3/4) and that pasta retails for $1.15 a box, thanks to a price cut back.

I also have 15 coupons for $.75 off 2 Any StarKist Tuna Pouch prodcuts and the Chunk Light Tuna runs about $1.10 right now. **I have seen these coupons on tear pads by the tuna so keep an eye out at your store! 

So here is my plan so far:

Transaction #1
20 StarKist Tuna Packs @$1.10 (was $1.49) - use ten $.75/2 = $7 after Q (I might use some Catalina's or Register Rewards to drop this lower)

Transactions #2,3,4,5
20 Barilla Pasta @$1.15 - this takes me to $23, so I have to add about $2 to it. I will use ten $1/2 coupons = $3, plus what I add, it depends on the sale flier.

Transaction #6
10 more Starkist Tuna Packs @$1.10 (was $1.49) and use five $.75/2. This is where I have to look at the sale flier to see what else to ad as I need just over $10 more and can double 5 more coupons.
 
SO, My pre-order phone call on Monday will be for 80 boxes of Barilla Spaghetti and 30 packs of Stakist Tuna. No shelf clearing, lots of great deals for the food pantry (they will get the pasta and 20 packs of the tuna) and we will see what else I can come up with.
 
What are you after?

    Hey Danielle-

    I've never done a pre-order before I have a couple of questions:

    1) What do you call and say??? haha

    2) Are they ok with you going through and doing more than 2 transaction during the double daze?

    3) Any other tips?

    Thanks,

    Amy

    Howdy Amy!
    1) I have done pre-orders before so they know me
    :)
    I just say "this time I need "X" of this brand (and it's price) from the ad and, this kind and "X" of this brand, this kind. I give my name and tell them when I need it by. They usually have it ready on my "pick up" day at the time I ask.

    2) Yes. I am usually there at 6AM and there is almost no one else in the store. Shopping goes really fast when you have almost everything you want at the customer service desk, LOL!

    3) When you are new to it, just tell them that you want to pre-order so you aren't clearing any shelf on them...they are more than happy to accomodate you and are happy that they won't have as many rain checks to write. Also - as soon as you know what you want, get the call in quickly. Most stores need 3-4 days, but more time is always better.

    Good luck!

That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ). I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

Chili Dog Casserole

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs
