UPDATED: Mackenthun's of Waconia Coupon Ad-Match for 9/30-10/06/11

SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG TO POST! IT TOOK HOURS LONGER THAN USUAL!!
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 http://www.pocketyourdollars.com/. PYD is a wonderful resource and they have taught me so much!  And if you are confused by the ad match, please go the their description HERE to learn how to read the shopping list.  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 are this week's match-ups!

Free Album! Spin Magazine's Tribute to Nirvana's Nevermind

According to Spin's Website:

"SPIN's August issue pays tribute to the 20th anniversary of Nirvana's Nevermind, and as part of our package we tapped some of our favorite contemporary artists to cover the influential album's 13 songs, in their original order. The download is called Newermind, and it's our gift to you.

We were happy that two of Kurt Cobain's personal faves -- the Meat Puppets and the Vaselines, both of whom Nirvana famously covered during their MTV Unplugged taping -- joined our effort. Below you'll find the complete album tracklist, with reflections from each contributing artist."

9/27/11 Walgreens Trip

Get $4.12 plus 48 free razors at Walmart

This is an awesome deal and I just HAD to share it!  There is currently a $6/2 Schick Disposable Razors coupon on coupons.com.  Print this coupon and head to Walmart.  There should be 12 packs of razors for $1.97 each.  Because Walmart gives overages, after buying two 12 packs, you will have $2.06 to use for other items at Walmart.  PLUS, did you know that you can print two of these coupons off?  So technically, you should be able to get 48 FREE razors and $4.12 in overage!  Be aware that this is a super hot deal, so they may have a hard time keeping these razors in stock.

Jubilee Foods of Mound Ad-Match for 9/25-10/1/11

Jubilee Foods of Mound is one of only a few grocery stores in the Twin Cities that double coupons.  Please note, they only double up to $0.50.  For example, a $0.50 coupon would become $1.00, a $0.45 coupon would become $0.90, but a $0.60 coupon would stay $0.60.  I have included all items that have a corresponding coupon, regardless if I consider it a "good deal" or not.  For other ad matches, please check out Pocket Your Dollars. And if you are confused by the ad match, please go HERE to Pocket Your Dollars instructions on how to read the shopping list.  Also note that Jubilee does not have a website.  Anywho, here is my ad match for the week of 9/25-10/1/11.

Mackenthun's of Waconia Coupon Ad-Match for 9/23-9/29/11

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 http://www.pocketyourdollars.com/. And if you are confused by the ad match, please go HERE to learn how to read the shopping list.  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 are this week's match-ups!
