My Shopping Trip: ShopRite
There was a comment in the ShopRite match ups from reader Bronwyn that the $1 Manufacturer eCoupons that are currently available (General Mills, SCJohnson, Splenda, etc), are actually coming off when you buy just 1 product from that Daily Deals category.
I headed back to ShopRite today to get more Smart Balance Peanut Butter and decided to give it a try. I wasn’t planning on doing the Motts/Snapple deal, and the Motts Apple Sauce is only $1.50 so I thought I would give it a try on that.
And, $1 did come off. So, I score a jar of Mott’s Apple Sauce for only $0.50! I was so excited to try this that I forgot to get my free box of ShopRite Organic Cereal. Guess I’ll have to go back again 😉
