9/14 SS Insert Refers to...
the SmartSource Coupon Insert found in the September 14th Sunday Newspaper,
write the dates on the front of the inserts when you get them,
or the dates are actually printed in very tiny print on the binding.
(I put mine in hanging file folders)
Final Price =
the end price after sale, coupon(s), register rewards etc
BUT it is a pretax amount since tax varies so much in different areas
Final Price = FREE means it is FREE before tax
Take for example Walmart....
Eucerin Lotion is $.97 in Travel Section
USE $1/1 ANY Eucerin Lotion Coupon
Final Price = $.03 MONEYMAKER
NOW.... in my area sales tax is 8%
so I am REALLY still spending $.05 in the end
BUT... since tax varies so much in different areas
coupon bloggers will always refer to the end price PRE-TAX
