Fry's Mega Run = 5.70 profit!

Well, I didn't end up going to Fry's last night because my pain meds for the root canal started making me super sick. I feel better today, so off I went. We were totally out of milk (which was already in the fridge, so  not pictured) and I already had my three transactions mapped out. Thank goodness this Fry's had everything in stock. I had a couple of rainchecks from last week's lower prices, which (as you'll see) caused some unexpected overage. I did 3 transactions at SCO to lower my OOP costs. *'d items are part of mega event. Prices reflect wyb 10 pricing.

#1
.99 Philidelphia Cream Cheese (5)*
-1.00/1 IPQ (4) - print hereI only had 4 coupons, but it still was profitable!
Paid .95 OOP, earned $5 OYNO
.81 profit each

.67 Idaho Potatoes (3)*
-.75/3 IPQ - print here
.34 each

.49 Quaker Rice Snacks (2)*

2.49 Thomas Mini-Bagels - needed these to go with all that cream cheese!
-1.00/1 MQ found on Maxwell Coffee a few months ago
1.49

.88 Kraft Shredded Cheese (5)*
Raincheck price from last week was 1.49, which was the final price wyb 10. But the cashier entered that price as the register price and the $5 mega event deduction still came off at the end making these 50 cents cheaper than they should have been. I was trying to figure out why my totals kept going negative, but until I started typing this, I had no idea what was going on.
-1.00/1 peelie MQ found on cheese (5)
.60 overage, earned $5 OYNO
Should have made .62 profit each, but made 1.12 each

.49 each

1.00 Dole Salad (4)
-1.00/1 IPQ (4) - print here

.99 Captain Crunch (6)*
Same thing that happened with the cheese, happened with the Captain Crunch. Raincheck price from last week was 1.49, which was the final price wyb 10. But the cashier entered that price as the register price and the $5 mega event deduction still came off at the end making these 50 cents cheaper than they should have been. I was trying to figure out why my totals kept going negative, but until I started typing this, I had no idea what was going on.

-.50/1 IPQ (4) - no longer available
-1.00/2 MQ 5/16 RP
Should have paid .66 each, but ended up paying .16 each

2.08 Fry's milk (2)
Free milk wyb 3 Quaker cereal tearpad MQs found at Safeway
2 gallons free
I checked with the store manager before using these and got the okay. He said since they were classified as "Manufacturer's Coupons" he was absolutely fine with accepting them even though they specified Lucerne milk.

I added a third gallon of milk onto my order because it was going negative.

I used a 5/25 Bashas home mailer coupon so that left me with a zero subtotal - .20 reusable bag credit + .38 tax = .18 total paid in change.

FINAL SUMMARY: 5.70 profit

I feel bad about how the raincheck items ended up way less than they should have been, but I can't go back out today. I'll stop in on Monday and see what they want me to do. I know they'll probably tell me not to worry about it (whenever I've gone back after the fact, they usually don't care to fix it), but I'd rather give them the opportunity to fix it if they want to.

  1. Nice job! I've been having fun with the mega sale too. I think it's great you'll give them the opportunity to fix this, very cool of you.
