12:03 am Friday night 12/05/14 I just got back from my midnight bike ride to Walmart in Bloomington.
1- I made it safely.
2- I had to know (experiment) and see if this really works.
Last week I missed ad matching my milk. It cost me $1 more for the 2 gallons than expected. Is that worth waiting in line at Customer Service to receive. There was only one person in line so why not? It was late.
Savingscatcher has caught my eye a number of times but I have not signed up. Too much red tape! Some people don't even like watching the advertisements and purchasing best priced items they use all the time. As least I like doing that. It gives me a sense of control to be able to say "AD Match" at the cash register. Gerald Burgie at the FHC is just like me. He complains when milk is over $2.50/gallon.
So I asked the Customer Service lady, if I had price/savingscatcher would it have caught this price at the register for me. She replied, yes. She has been at the Washington Walmart for over 4 years so I trusted her. Then she said, "And if you get a bluebird account you will save double." What? For real? No kidding? Sign me up. WE had to go hunting for a bluebird sign up packet and I brought it home to read the procedures.
The instructions said to just buy something with the enclosed card and it would activate the account. Sounded strange but easy. Pepsi is 0.88$ for 2 liters at Smith's this week and Gerald Burgie loves it. I picked up a bottle and all the lines were long! Since I wanted understanding/information as well as to purchase the Pepsi I decided to try Customer Service again. I visited with both the lady in front of me and then the lady behind me about this 2X/double the savings offer. Neither of them knew anything about it. If I could get a $3/gal milk for $2/gal because of a $.50 off sale it sounded really good to me!
Then I found you also had to register for the savingscatcher and you have to type in all your store receipt numbers if you have an dumb phone that doesn't scan. Crud! More red tape. More hoops to jump through. Not one of these again! I suspected as much!
I decided to try it anyway. I registered and typed in my first two receipts. It takes 3 or 4 days for the results. I don't expect any savings on those two because one was the $20 deposit I put in the bluebird-prepaid account and the other one I already claimed "Ad match $0.88", at the register! So since I still have extra energy I did my midnight bike trip to Walmart.
I typed in my 3rd receipt. I kept my mouth shut at the register and paid $3/gal for milk. I should get $1 added to my bluebird account when, When, WHEN, the 3-4 days have passed and I press the button my dashboard to deposit it onto my Bluebird.
Let the experiment conclude! And if all this expires on Feb. 28 it will have been another waste of time!Purchase Summary
