I Heart PetSmart!

Dear PetSmart - I luv you! 

PetSmart has been the easiest store EVER to shop at with coupons and as long as they continue to be nice to couponers I will shop there.  :) 

TOTAL: $3.02 OOP for:  

4 small trial bags of Purina Pro Plan cat food

41 3-oz. cans Purina Pro Plan cat food

1 20-lb. container of Tidy Cats scoopable cat litter

(tax was $2.73!)

This was one transaction that I was not prepared for when I got up to the register - it's the first time I ever had to run back and grab MORE to use up all my overage!!  And it wasn't just one or two more cans - I ended up having to add in 14 more cans to get me into positive (by .29) on the register.  The cashier was a little perplexed by my whole transaction so by the end I couldn't even figure out how it played out. 

I did use the $5.00 off ANY Purina Pro Plan food and the B1G1F canned Purina Pro Plan printable manufacturer coupons from Coupons.com to make this transaction work.  The small trial packets are priced at .99, so for each of the $5 coupons I printed, I had $4.01 in overage to spend.  With 4 coupons that's 16.04!   The one thing that threw me for a loop is that when the cashier took off the $ for the "free" can of food, she took off the full .99 & .83 shelf price before my PetPerks card savings.  The PetPerks price on these is .50 a can, so I had an extra .44 or .33 per can to use up that I was not accounting for. 

I also just realized that I think she scanned my $1 off Tidy Cat coupon from the 9/12 RP twice.  There's one $1.00 off coupon on my receipt that I can't account for so I am guessing since she was a little confused she may have inadvertently scanned that one twice. 

Now, I purchased cat food because my barn cats eat this food, but you could work out a similar deal using the dog food packets of Pro Plan and canned dog food. 

I looked high a low in the store for the Purina One pouches so I could throw in some of the .99 cat food pouches and use up my $2.00 off ANY coupons from the 10/17 SS but they were all out.  :(  That would have made this an even better deal!  They did have the Purina One dog food pouches for .99 (10/17 SS) but, darn it all, I used those up at Walgreens already. 

The best part about this deal is that I paid with a $5 bill that I found in the Kohl's parking lot right before I went to PetSmart so really this transaction cost me nothing OOP! 

FREE Purina One (with overage) @ Petsmart

6 oz. pouches of Purina One Dog and Cat foods are .49 each with your Pet Perks card at Petsmart.  Use the $2.00 off coupons from the 8/15 SS (expire 9/15) to get these FREE with $1.51 in overage for each one.  The coupons are worded for "any" size bag of Purina One and the coupons do not beep at the register.  These pouches can be found in various areas of the store on the hanging display strips.  I found some over in the dog treat aisle, dog food aisle and cat food aisle, check all the aisles because the pouches weren't always by the full size bags of this same product.  Make sure you have enough in your cart to cover the overage and you will have some happy fur babies! 

FREE Science Diet Dog Treats @ PetSmart!

 

I just LOVE, love, love PetSmart for coupon shopping.  They have been the most wonderful store to use coupons at.  I have never had any problems, they welcome coupon usage and always give the overage - even knowingly!  The cashiers are always the first ones to tell me what a great job I did using coupons and sometimes they even give me additional coupons to use when I am at the register.  That's the way all cashiers should be!

Here's a way to make your pup or the animal shelter pups VERY happy this week.  The New Science Diet Simple Essentials Treats are on sale this week with your Pet Perks card for $2.50 a bag.  These are pretty large size bags at 12-14 oz each.  There are $3.00 off coupons in the 6/13 SS or printable here.  Just click on "Save $3 Now" when you get there.  You will need to sign up for the coupons, but it's worth it!  You should get .50 overage for each one that you buy because the coupons did not beep.  I found these in the aisle at the front of the store with the dog treats/biscuits and the sale is supposed to go thru 6/20.

I was able to use my overage to buy some things that we needed for our aquarium and a new African Frog for the aquarium that my son has been asking for.  So, not only did I make some pups at the animal shelter happy, I also made my son happy.  I love it when it works out that way!

As a side note, the employees at PetSmart have always been very helpful and extremely knowledgeable about everything that I have had questions about.  That makes shopping there even better!

Purina Beneful Dog Food with Overage

My frugal friend Tara alerted me to a great deal on Purina Beneful IncrediBites brand dog food.  In the 3/21 S there is a coupon for $3.00 off ANY package of Purina Beneful IncrediBites dog food.  I used these today at PetSmart on the 6 oz. trial size bags priced at .99 with a PetPerks card (these are hanging on a strip from the shelves infront of the large bags of this food).  The coupons scanned and did not beep so I ended up with $2.01 in overage for each bag that I purchased...since I "bought" 8 bags I ended up with a whoppin' $16.08 in overage to put toward my canned cat food. 

Tara also told me that Walgreens has these for $1.00 each and she found them near the register.  At Walgreens the $3.00 coupon beeps if you only purchase one bag, but if you purchase 3 bags, the coupon won't beep and you will get all three bags for FREE.  No overage, but you can still make a pooch very happy with a nice treat!

PetSmart Deals 4/14/10

If you have pets there's a couple great deals over at Petsmart right now that you shouldn't pass up.  Even if you don't have pets, if you are going to be in the vicintiy of a PetSmart store you could stop there and pick up some freebies for the animal shelter. 

If you have the PetSmart PetPerks card, you can get Milk Bone Essentials Plus Long Lasting Dog Chews for $1.99.  Over at Coupons.com there's a $2.00 off coupon making these FREE.  To make this a sweeter deal, clip the Milk Bone Dog Snacks Buy 1 Get 1 Essentials Plus Biscuits FREE (up to $4.99) coupon from the 4/11 RP and combine it with this deal.  That's two bags of chews and two boxes of dog biscuits absolutely FREE.  You will have one happy pooch on your hands!

Of course we can't forget about kitty, so you can clip the FREE Pro Plan pouch of dry/hard cat food and use those while you are there also.  (These can also be used on dry/hard pouches of dog food if you prefer).  These coupons were in the 3/28 S.  The pouches were found on one of those little hang strips on the shelves - not on the shelves themselves.  I also located some of these pouches on the upper shelves in the "treat" area (in overstock). 

As I was walking around the store I noticed a tear pad for a FREE reuseable shopping bag (up to $2.99 value) if you purchased 30 cans of ANY Purina canned cat food.  There are Pro Plan B1G1 coupons for the Purina Pro Plan canned cat food in the 3/28 S also so if you have 15 coupons, pick up 30 cans, get half free and a free reuseable shopping bag.  The reuseable shopping bag tearpad coupon expires 4/25/10.  The PetSmart reuseable shopping bags are really cute - very roomy and pet themed. 

One great thing I noticed about my PetSmart store (E. State Street, Rockford, IL) is that they gave me the full value of the coupon on the B1G1 coupons.  Meaning, if the coupon states B1G1 up to $1.99 - they give the full $1.99 even if the item is only .89!  I was shocked to see this happening today and worried that I wouldn't have enough in my cart to use up all that overage, but I lucked out and had it covered.
