Where is the coupon for the 360 toothbrush? I found one, but it looks like its only for toothpaste. Is that the one it is?

I went to Brookshire’s today and the lady told me I had points and asked me if I wanted to redeem them. I redeemed them for an additional $6.00 off my purchase. I was happy.
CWil says
can someone explain to me how you redeem balance reward points? And how do you know if you have points available? Thank you in advance for your help!
Monica says
Just ask the cashier that you’d like to redeem your Reward points. I’ve never had a cashier ask me if I’d like to redeem them in the past, so just ask. =)
CWil says
thank you.

Your points total prints out on the bottom of your receipt when you buy something and they scan your rewards card.

Gretchen got some toothbrushes to go with all her toothpaste! Great job and awesome savings!

As usual, great deals!!
I’d love to use printable coupons. For some reason, I can never install the necessary software, ( I guess “software” is the term…?), that will allow me to download the coupons. I’ve tried Smart Source as well as others.
It’d be great if I were still taking the Sunday paper, so that I could clip the coupons offered in it. I was too cheap to continue my subscription after the low introductory pricing period ended. 🙂

Most papers will do ANYTHING to keep subscribers, so if you tell them you’ll drop your subscription if they don’t give you a lower rate, they will usually find something. My metro-area’s paper considers you “new” if you haven’t subscribed in 30 days, so you can always drop it for a month and then ask for the intro rate again. Our city also has groupon and living social deals from time to time (I think is usually about $26 for a 26 week Sunday subscription) for new clients, but again, as long as it has been 30 days, you are considered “new.” Finally, the dollar tree sells Sunday papers for cheap here–list price as the newsstand is $2 or $2.50 and I think they told me once when I was there that they sell it for $1 or $1.50….whatever it was, it was cheaper!!! But my best advice would be to call and say you want a better rate. They’d ather do that than lose a customer or not get you as one at all. Just watch out for the auto-renewal at full price–I always put a reminder in my phone so I can call and say, “I’m not paying that price; what better deal can you give me?” (And they always do!!!)

Definitely worth a try. Thanks!!
