Mackenthun's of Waconia Coupon Ad-Match for 12/23-12/31/11

This week's ad is valid for two extra days.  Instead of ending on the 29th, it goes through New Years Eve.

A few notes before we get to the deals. I recently found out several things about Mackenthun's coupon policy: 1) Mackenthun's will take coupons up to one month expired. Therefore I have included coupons in this ad-match that are expired for this amount of time. 2) I brought in a manufacturer coupon that said "Redeem at Hyvee" and the cashier asked her supervisor and she said it is fine to take. This, in a way, contradicts what I was told recently about how they won't take manufacturer coupons from competitor's ads. I have been given the supervisor and manager's email addresses and I will try my best to get a concrete answer soon. 3) Mackenthun's will give overages. Recently I paid for a $0.99 item with a $1.00 coupon. And they gave me the total value of the coupon. Now I doubt they would give it back to you in cash, but I used the $0.01 towards my other groceries. 4) Mackenthun's front end manager said that Mackenthun's WILL let you use two manufacturer coupons on a BOGO offer. For example: lets say the ad says "BOGO free on item X" and there is a $1/1 coupon out there for that product. Even though you are getting one item free, you can use two coupons.

For other ad matches, please check out Pocket Your Dollars. PYD is a wonderful resource and they have taught me so much! Also, if you are confused by this ad match, please go to my post Beginner's Guide to Couponing.

Also, do note that I have included every item that has a corresponding coupon, regardless if I think it is a good deal or not. I also will include items that don't have a coupon if I think it is a good deal. But in reality, the term "good deal" is relative. What I think is a terrible deal may be an awesome deal to you. But that is my spiel. Here is the match-ups for this week!

Mackenthun's of Waconia Coupon Ad-Match for 12/9-12/15/11

A few notes before we get to the deals. I recently found out several things about Mackenthun's coupon policy: 1) Mackenthun's will take coupons up to one month expired. Therefore I have included coupons in this ad-match that are expired for this amount of time. 2) I brought in a manufacturer coupon that said "Redeem at Hyvee" and the cashier asked her supervisor and she said it is fine to take. This, in a way, contradicts what I was told recently about how they won't take manufacturer coupons from competitor's ads. I have been given the supervisor and manager's email addresses and I will try my best to get a concrete answer soon. 3) Mackenthun's will give overages. Recently I paid for a $0.99 item with a $1.00 coupon. And they gave me the total value of the coupon. Now I doubt they would give it back to you in cash, but I used the $0.01 towards my other groceries. 4) Mackenthun's front end manager said that Mackenthun's WILL let you use two manufacturer coupons on a BOGO offer. For example: lets say the ad says "BOGO free on item X" and there is a $1/1 coupon out there for that product. Even though you are getting one item free, you can use two coupons.

For other ad matches, please check out Pocket Your Dollars. PYD is a wonderful resource and they have taught me so much! Also, if you are confused by this ad match, please go to my post Beginner's Guide to Couponing.

Also, do note that I have included every item that has a corresponding coupon, regardless if I think it is a good deal or not. I also will include items that don't have a coupon if I think it is a good deal. But in reality, the term "good deal" is relative. What I think is a terrible deal may be an awesome deal to you. But that is my spiel. Here is the match-ups for this week!
