Yesterday we had an epic {total exaggeration} shopping day. We hit a few of our favorite spots. One of which was Ralph's. I've been hearing reports that Ralph's is no longer doubling more than one like coupon {they've been doubling unlimited here}. I ventured to the most coupon friendly one around and made a go at it.The soft packs of wipes where on sale for $1.49 after the Cars buy 5 get $5 off. I bought 10 and used 10 $.50 coupons. Only 1 doubled {insert disappointed face}.I know some stores are still doing unlimited doubling, just not mine. If they had these would have been $.49 each. I'm still okay with $.99 and the best news is that I won't ever have to buy anymore wipes. These should last us through potty training!Does anyone else love using baby wipes for hands and such when you are out and about?

The blogs are a buzzing with Kroger and Fry's Mega events starting Wednesday so I popped into Ralph's today and I asked the cashier if there was a chance that we were getting a Mega event starting on Wednesday.I want to be able to tell you yes, no or maybe, but all I got was "I'm not sure".Uh, okay. {This is where I wish I lived closer to Ralph's and got the ad in the mail early}.So this is all me dreaming out loud, or shall I say on the computer, but if we are going to get a mega sale, and the prices are similar to Krogers, than there are quite a few things that will be cheap/free or even a money maker {honest tea!}Another *note*- it's reported that Ralph's stores are still doubling more than 1 like coupon and up to 3 or even 4!Have you all heard anything? Anyone seen an early ad? … [Read more...]
