Meeting Notes - Monday May 18

This meeting was filled with information about Publix, CVS and Target. Here's a recap

Publix this week
Ritz Crackers BOGO
Use two $1/1 Man Qs and the right thing to do is use just 1 $1/1 Target Q (The Target Q specifically says one per transaction...your Publix will probably take 2 Target Qs because of their superb customer service, but we want to encourage you to use your coupons in an ethical manner...more to come on that)

CVS this week
In one word *stinks* There are no significant ECB offers. If you use Herbal Essences, it may be worth it for you to purchase 2 ($2.99/1) use your $2/2 Q from the paper. Total oop is $4.00 and you'll get 2 ecb back. So, you'll spend$2 on the deal.

Publix next week
The sneak peak we had from Hot Coupon World wasn't great and seemed to be rumors it was unreliable. We'll post up more details for Publix in the coming days.

CVS next week
Some Great FAECB (Free after extra care buck) deals. We'll do a field trip to CVS next Monday Night.

Other important Notes
***No coupons will be in the paper on Sunday***
*No Clipper Chicks meeting next Monday (Memorial Day*
***BUT...we will do a CVS field trip later in the evening (we're thinking after 9) Details will be announced soon.

*We also discussed some area charities we can donate our stockpile to if/when it gets to big or when you buy items you don't really need. Cindy is getting info about the student choir, Lightforce of First Baptist, trip to Immokalee in June. Amy has connections to the TAP program both in Naples and Immokalee. These girls would love to have our extra toiletries. If you know of an organization or if you church has a special outreach event, let us know and we'll talk about sending some donations their way.

*We've had some issues with a certain Publix and Target in town all of a sudden NOT stacking Man. and store Qs. I will be contacting corporate to get the official coupon policy to MY e-mail box. At the next meeting (in two weeks) I'll have print out for everyone to put in their binders.

*Finally, we had a discussion about copying coupons, using PDF coupons and knowing what is a valid coupon and what is shady. We will begin posting some discussion on ethics in couponing over the coming weeks.

Next offical Clipper Chicks meeting is Monday June 1 from 7:30-9:30 in the back corner at Chick-Fil-A.
