    Tough day using coupons!


    Family dollar
    drama
    refused to take more than 1 store and 1 manq....says q that said ultra and bottle that says ultra won't work. Must be handsaver like the picture.
    I argued and got 2, but not worth the time it took to trade for the q's. ACK
    Of course I had the dm phone number that said I could use 2 coupons and never mentioned a quantity. I don't think 5 green and 5 blue dawn ultras was over the top when they had a display of cases...

    Oct spending and an update on prev days walmart drama

    Oct spending and update on yesterdays drama

    Walmart gave me $40 cash because of my drama. yep, actually the co manager promised me a gc but when I got there bearing crts and a coupon to prove that everything scanned and I needed the override to close out the transaction not cause my coupon didn't scan - I got cash instead of a gc.

    First time I have been paid for complaining - and I have been complaining for years . LOL

    So incoming $40
    oop

    Target

    4 kellogg's antioxidant bars,
    .71
    less than 10% no oop x 4

    10 Glade tins and refills, 2 price cut 2.04 keebler cookies....
    1.67 less than 10%
    no oop

    Publix

    11 krusteaz pancake mixes
    6 hilshire farms sausages
    4.12 and saved 44.99
    no oop
    less than 10%

    15 pancake mixes
    14 toothpaste
    bell pepper
    cabbage
    4 krusteaz cookie mix
    6 seapak shrimps
    3 phazyme
    4 rolaids
    sub tt 12.21 and tax 7.98
    oop 20.19
    saved
    175.74

    Too tired to split up publix order #2 and use another compet q.

    Blowing away quantity limits @ Publix:
    I had already talked to 2 managers earlier in the week about my quantities. Both said buy em all then laughed and said wait until the end of the sale.
    Tues was the last day of the sale and we did buy them all.
