Where I post my coupon-related musings, and the weekly shopping trip excursions, helping me keep track of how much I've saved since I started this. Ideally, it'll keep going up! (:

Today I learned that the self-checkout computer will complain about two (well, three) things:
#1: Using more than two coupons.
Solution: Have a register monkey come enter their code so I can get into supersekrit cashier mode (SSCM) and scan more in.
#2: The item price is less than the doubled coupon price.
Solution: Tell the computer in SSCM mode to just use the item price as the coupon price.
#3: The hidden cap for coupon usage.
Solution: Use SSCM to enter them in by hand.
Bonus discovery: They only double two coupons of the same item, so I now split transactions when I have more than two of the same item with $.50 or under coupons. *nodnod*
The DiGiorno wasn't included in the sale (grrr) but we got the pie anyway, because we haven't had pie in a while, they're really good pie, and the coupon was going to expire. Patience only lasts me so long.
Four boxes of whole grain pasta rocks. Two more for $.38 apiece is pretty nice too.
Fifty-cent jello is niiiiice. I wish I'd had a coupon for it. ):
Transaction #1:
Total: $10.99
Sales and coupons: $4.86
Total OOP: $6.13
Transaction #2:
Total: $38.33
Sales and coupons: $19.65
Total OOP: $18.68
