There are a couple of great freebies at Vons through 2/26! I want to warn you though–my store is very nice about adjusting coupons down to match the price of the item–and giving it to me for free. Not all stores are like this–so you may have issues doing the following transactions–BUT even if you do not use the coupons–the items are still cheap without.
Select Mr. Clean products are part of the Buy 3, Save $3 deal at Vons. The Mr. Clean cleaning supplies are priced as low as $0.29 after discount. There are also several other items that are cheap as well:
Dawn Steel Mesh Scrubbers (3ct) $0.49 wyb 3
Ultra Sparkle Bob (scrubber) $0.29 ea wyb 3
Mr. Clean Premium Resuable Wipes (6ct) $0.29 ea wyb 3
Use $0.50/1 Mr. Clean Product, exp. 2/28/13 (P&G 01/27/13)
= as low as free if your store adjusts the coupon down
Mr. Clean Cellulose Sponge Cloth $0.29 wyb 3
Use $0.50/1 Mr. Clean Product, exp. 2/28/13 (P&G 01/27/13)
= as low as free if your store adjusts coupon
Ultra Stainless Steel Scrubber $0.29 ea wyb 3
My Name is Josie and I live in sunny Southern California and I am a stay at home mom to three beautiful boys. We all know that living in California is a task of it's own and saving in California IS possible! I started this blog mainly to share all the awesome deals out there and show others how to save in any area of life. Even though you may make the commitment to be frugal and pinch your pennies doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice!
Ok, Josie! You must have house tapped. I was just saying I need to stock up on Cleaning supplies!!! Heading there after work today! Thanks!!!
Josie, which Vons do u shop at?
I shop at the Temecula Vons
My advice is to pick your cashiers carefully. I know the ones who never give me problems, but had to push to get the Alexia fry deal the other day with a supervisor, when I told her adjust it down for the (fricking) penny. You would have thought I was acting for a mountain to be moved. I groaned when I realized she was my only choice.
I second this advice! Two of my Vons cashiers are very nice and helpful, one lady is extremely rude when it comes to coupons, and most of the other cashiers just get confused and don’t know what to do. Going through the line of a coupon-savvy cashier makes all the difference!
Sounds like your stores need a little nudging towards their policy. Years ago, up here, in Safeway land, they tried that, but after a call to their regional marketing director, things were fixed …even until today.
(the second part of rule #1 applies)
http://www.vons.com/IFL/Grocery/Coupons-Policy
Manufacturer and Store Coupons:
1. We will redeem coupons only for the specific items included in our customer’s purchase transaction. The redemption value will be as stated on the coupon, unless that value yields a final price for such item less than zero; if application of the redemption value yields a price less than zero, the coupon will be redeemed only for the amount that yields a zero price (our customer cannot net a cash credit or payout from a coupon purchase).
Thanks Bob, I am gonna start carrying it again. I just had to tell two cashiers they can take a Catalina from another store ’cause it’s a manufacturer coupon
Well, when I tried to get the Alexia potatoes it wouldn’t scan and I had another cashier, might have even been a manager, say that they are no longer taking printable coupons! She said it came out in some of their info about 6 months ago. My cashier thought that if they scanned they’d take them but she said they still weren’t suppose to. I didn’t bother to even ask to adjust it down, just took the pot. off the transaction. YMMV tremendously.
My store will still take internet printed coupons, but only if they scan. They no longer just push them through. My store didn’t have any Mr Clean sponges or scrubbers, but I got 3 pack of the Dawn scrubbers (two different types) for $1.47 and I had a $1.25 Cat from last week. So I paid .22 before tax. Now i guess I need to start cleaning something!! LOL!!
My store only had the Dawn scrubbers too! Bought 3 and used my $1.50 catalina from the soup add a valentines candy to the order too. My Vons still has not gotten the Windex touch up cleaner. The manager told me they would not have it in. I asked why is it advertised? He said its the same ad for everyone and he can’t control it. He would not write a rain check.
Is ‘buy 3, save $3′ mix and match or of the same kind? Thanks!
it is Mix and Match
Thanks for the reply, Josie
Heck I just buy 2 and eat the .09 cents.
Thanks a lot. I don’t have Vons near me but I went Safeway and they have the same deals. Mr. clean coupons are not scanning but the cashier was nice and she pushed it without adjusting. I had other items to cover the overge. I bought Mr.Clean wipes, clothes, scrubbers .
Thanks for posting this
I didn’t have the coupons on me but $0.29 wasn’t a big deal to me. I had loaded the Mr. Clean MQ on Just For U and it didn’t come off. Maybe that is why the coupons beeps? I am going to pick up more for my in laws. I’ve been meaning to go to the store, but I get so lazy sometimes =P
Tip: I almost abandoned the hunt for the Mr Clean items, but they are stocked over by the mops and not by the general cleaning items. So head farther down the aisle (it was at the end on the opposite side of the cleaning aisle)
Thanks for the tip. Did the deal 3 times.
Are the coupons beeping for anyone else? They beeped on the wipes and sponge cloths for me.
Yes, I did 2 different transactions and both times the coupons beeped. The cashier pushed them through.
I just got mine. Yay!
do you have to split transactions to get the B3 Save$3 deal? or can you buy 6 at once and get the deal? thanks
Yes, you can purchase 6 items and still get the discount
Are these still on sale? Thank you~~
Yes, through the 26th
Thank you I went to day and found them What a great deal.
