Smiths/Kroger pricing Blackhole

I managed to go out and try and grab some stuff at midnight last night. I have been staying up watching the Australian Open. I came to learn that Smiths has a pricing black-hole between Midnight on Wednesday until 7am... apparently nothing is on sale at that time... I felt like I was in the twilight zone or something... it was like when all the snack items come alive and have little battles with frozen foods... and nobody is there to see it.

ok... here is one of my big issues... Listen.. if you are going to give yourself 7 hours to change prices... stop changing them at 10pm the night before... and... how if you have them changed by 7am. I have seen the prices at Smiths be changed as early as 9pm on many items and end up fooled at the register, and what Smiths Checkout woman is going to let me argue false advertising? What they will do is make me feel guilty about dropping a bunch of items on them to return to the shelves at 10pm.

New blog

I'm hoping to do some coupon matchups for Harmons and Reams and Maceys grocery stores.

These matchups arn't represented in the coupon blog culture Since I do them, I figured I would post them. I also find that they are more susceptible to the coupon crazies since they arn't on every blog on the planet.

I've found they kind of freak out when I show up with 20 General mills coupons... it's kind of fun.

Harmons 1-23 to 1-29

Nabisco crackers

buy one get one free. $1.85

There is a buy 2 get $1.00 off coupon

Old elpaso taco shells for $.75 with $1.00/2 coupon if you can find it. I stole mine off a box of specialty taco mix in the store.

This is just a fast list, nobody reads this and I have yet to be very focused on how to do this. I'm not providing links to the coupons yet.
