    WTF! - Found the 99 cents a can on General Deal 1/4 mile down the road!

    -


    I haven't been real up on things lately. Did I read sometime back about some shops offering a promo on General Snus for 99 cents a can? I was about to either make a Swedish order or drive farther than Salem and pick up 10 cans for 6 bucks a piece.

    Well I now went to the General snus locator and found stores closer than last time I looked. There are two just down the street. They gave one the wrong name on General's site and the other a dead phone number. The one I went to is labeled a Circle K. It is not a Circle K anymore. It is a 76 gas station store.

    I called them up and the dude said he does have General snus and it's on special for 99 cents a can!!!!! What! I told him I'll be right over. He asked," how many do you want"? I said, "I'll take 80 cans." Well he only stocks 10 of each and he was out of Regular. So he ordered me 80 cans at 99 cents a piece, prepaid. I grabbed 4 can of mint, one wintergreen and one of these new General Special blend 12 packs.

    I have been out of the loop. What's the trip with these 12 packs of General in the oblong can? Why half as many at the same price?

    Well, I'll be waiting on my 80 cans and believe the deal once it happens. Are they supposed to sell that many to one customer for promo price?

    He expects them in on the truck Friday.

    This saves me 300-400 dollars on a large order! WTF I assume General is paying the taxes.

    I just found a place near me too, but they sell them for $2.99 for the 15 portion tin and $3.99 for the regular round cans portion/loose.
    It's worth it for me, since it's better than paying $7 and up for shipping through online sources.

    I'm super excited. Haven't had real Swedish Snus in over 2 years.

    American Camel and Marlboro "snus" sucks...I hate the nasty sweet taste that it has. Bleh!

      It's a great deal. The General 99ยข promo ran here for 90 days and then quit. You have the right idea in stocking up.

        I actually just found a gas station nearby this morning that's offering General wintergreen, mint, and white portion for 99 cents each. I ended up buying 7 cans of white using just pocket change. Planning on going back either tonight or tomorrow and emptying their entire stock.

          And it only has 1.56 -2 mg of nicotine. AKA Fake Snus

            i walked into a local store a few days ago and saw they sell General. I said, when did y'all start selling that? He said, we've had it for a while. it was $1 a can but the price went up. It was about $4 a can. I missed the $1 snus because I did not go into that store when it was on sale. Dang

              Keep checking the locator page. There may be more than one sale in your area.

                The locator page needs updating, only one of the three listed for my zip code has product and it is the small cans. I got the link above in an email from General this morning and printed coupons for, one can for $1, two cans for the price of one, and $ 2 off of one can. Now I need to find a store that has the snus, nice deal though!

                  a highs store in my area was running the same .99 cent special but on 24 portion mint cans too. it was great while it lasted, but the last time i went into the store, the 12 portion cans were 3 bucks and the 24 was 4.50 or so.

                    I would pay 4.50 for a tin, if we could get it here

                      Wait... I'm on the store locator, but how do you find the sales? Or are you guys just stumbling on them the old-fashioned way?

                        You have to check out each store I think. The. 99 deal is usually going on when the store just got snus for the first time. It expires after 2 or 3 months I think. What makes it difficult is that most of stores I went to didn't put up the. 99 display and I usually didn't find out until after they rung up my order. That's when you say give me whatever you have. Also, the coffin cans might have a $1 off coupon under the lid so you can go back and get another can for free if the store accepts coupons. Most gas stations will give you a strange look if you try and use a coupon. They will act as if you have some kind of scam going and tell you they will need to check with the manager first.
