Walgreens

Why oh why does it always have to be a debacle at Wags if I don't go to Nanci's store? This store did not have most of the items in the ad and I went on Sunday morning! Then when I asked the cashier (whose manager was right there) about it he rang me up and the items they did have did not print RR's. Then he says oh yeah this one is not working. Manager comes back to "fix" it and the Oral-B refused to print a RR even though it was the right one. Alas I asked her to refund the Oral-B and got the other junk and left. GRRRRR!

Ok here's the thing. I didn't realize this was happening when it was but I guess my cashier took an extra $5 coupon off even though I only had three toy items. Consequently, he couldn't take my sharpie coupons because it would have put me in a negative balance. Plus I think he also just took the full $1 off for my skittles instead of .64. I would not have let that happen had I realized. I also do not want to get my favorite cashier in trouble. Does anyone have an opinion on what the ethical thing to do here would be?UGH I hate this

:(

Did you get the mail?

Coupons, pads, magazines oh my!

Kmart again

This is a different Kmart than my normal and they let me do all of my stuff in one transaction so even though DD was with me they were cool about it. AWESOME! Also I got my DH a Gator lunchbox (he says I never buy him anything) and i paid full price!

Kmart

This was done in two transactions(I had DD with me!) and I tell ya those Kmart coupons are useless. I stood there for prob 30 minutes with them trying to figure them out. So frustrating. Anyway they just credited my money at the CS desk for the ones that didn't work. The $5/$50 in the Sunday paper did work though. You just gotta make sure that total is $50 before tax.

Kmart

Kmart: Lets see I think I made three trips and in each case I was able to do two transactions. One cashier told me I couldn't but since my DD was with me I said she was the customer for the second transaction. Get this, she says ok but she has to hand me the coupons and the money. Really? I mean Really? She's 3 for Pete's sake. So I said ok maybe she would like to do that but of course she didn't this time/ The cashier did it anyway. Oh well.

Kmart trips #2 #3 and #4 and Target

So Kmart was having their super doubles but they were also having an additional 50% off of clearance toys as well. My DD loves Littlest Pet Shop so I went a little crazy but I am stocked for her birthday, don't laugh but her birthday is not until October! HA! But that's OK I am prepared!!! I also bought a few toys for kiddie parties or DD's friends.

Breakdown:

This was done in two transactions so I could take advantage of the $5/$50 coupon and the $5/$20 Toy purchase. Unfortunately the cashier forgot to scan my $5 coupon for my larger order and when I called they were "so helpful" So I will make the trip up there next week or tomorrow to straighten it out.
