Well since today was double coupons at K-Mart I was there shortly after they opened. Also, had the chance to meet a fellow couponer from another town that was hitting the doubles for the day and we shared a few deals we found with each other!
So I'll try to tell you what I got. Should of took pictures but I didnt. I was ready to get it all put up. We went to K-Mart, CVS, Kroger, Target and Walgreens all in under 5 hours. Not bad.......and the stockpile went up even further. So here goes
K-Mart
Total: 126.07 in products
Coupons 66.37
Total Spent: 59.70
I got everything from Body wash, Visine, Mouthwash, Carefree, Cereal, Spray N Wash, Alka Seltzer, candy, LOTS of Byer, Motrin, Tynenol.
Plus received a $10.00 rebate from General Mills for $10.00 back on the cereal that I purchases so over all amount would be $49.70
CVS
First let me say that I have never EVER had a problem with a checker at CVS but since I was doing the double coupons at K-Mart I thought I would go to a different CVS then I normally do. Well this guy, had a different idea then I did and I'll explain it at the end.
1st Transaction
2 CVS Diaper Wipes 2/ $4.00
2 Pledge with dusters 4.59
Used: CVS 3.00 off coupon
Used: 4.00 off $15.00 coupon
Used: 6.00 EBC
Total OOP .19
2nd Transaction
2 CVS Diaper Wipes 2/$4.00
1 Dark Chocolate candy .33 (This is where the problem came in)
1 Twix .89
Used: 3.00 off CVS product coupon
2.00 EBC
Total OOP .23
3rd Transaction
2 CVS Diaper Wipes 2/$4.00
18 Dark chocolate candy .03 each total .54
1 Butterfinger .50
Used: $3.00 off CVS product coupon
2.00 EBC
Total OOP .05
Now where the problem came in at was the candy was marked .33 each, but when he rang it up it showed .03. But he was bound and determined that I wasnt going to get it at .03 and I was bound and determined after number 2 transaction that I was. So I ask to speak to the manager and he told me they didnt have one. I said you surely have someone that is in charge and he said yes we do. I said that would do. Well she happened to be walking by and he explained the situation and she said well let her have it at .03 and I'll correct it later. Well when transaction 3 came up and I was short using my EBC I just dumped the box of chocolates out on the counter and said start counting I'll take them all. I think my daughter could of crawled under the cart but it came up right with me owing .05. I guess I could of took one off but didnt want to make a scene over 1 candy. LOL and I figured also since I didnt make him correct Transaction number 2 for the .30 different we were even.
