Zero oop used a gc on all of them. So no oop in the stock pile challenge

High amounts for me, and I didn't buy much really.
stain release, bc potatoes, bc hh, 10 free tote bags, solo cups, benefiber, angus patties, scrubbing bubbles because someone dropped a 2/2 peelie on the floor so I used it, glade spray so I can do yet another of the scjohnson mirs, 6 packages of meat, milk and produce.

Yeah, I bought tide stain release because I didn't like it and sold like 20 in a yard sale for $3. Had to buy 6 at 5.99 - 3q for my son. He loves the stuff- swears it gets mechanic grease off his clothes plus he uses a small bottle a week.

I also finished up some rebates on party supplies ....solo cups. Needed these for the parties through out the year.

    2010 Stockpile Challenge January

    Went out to use my expiring ra coupons and left half of them at home on the printer. Even watched a video and left that q too.

    I didn't feel up to getting out and son wasn't too much help tonight.... So not a great night for this bug

    #1
    well I just noticed these vitamins I forgot my q's for - well they didn't ring up bogo either. So they will go back tomorrow!

    19.98
    for 2 regenerist and 2 vitamins
    7.99
    3.59
    3.59
    9.99

    used 3/15 2/1 ra skin care 2/1 skin care and should have used a 1/1 1/1???? He didn't give them back?

    GRRRR


    so I should be returning 3.59 x 2 as well asking about my 2 @ 1/1 so that's 7.18 and $2

    anyway, I got these to do my regenerist mir of $15...no too shabby

    #2
    this is what it should have been for #1
    2 regenerist @ 9.99
    used a 3/15 2/1 2/1 and 1/1 1/1 so oop
    12.38 and will get $15 for the mir.

    #3 ughh this crt is a mess too!
    he didn't take off my .50/1 snack but scanned a 2/1 vitamin 2 times. I guess he was helping me????? Since he gave me back the snack q
    1.50 to the good just on the q difference.

    So I bought
    1 cheese ball snacks 1.00
    2 regenerist cleansers 7.99 9.99
    2 vitamins
    3.14 8.99
    for 9.48 oop
    vitamin c and glucosamine bogo so 3.14/1
    used 2/1 vitamin 2/1 vitamin 3/15 2/1 skin care 2/1 skin care

    Ra in summary -
    So I forgot my got2b coupons, my 1/9/9 expiring vitamin coupons with a bogo sale and my snack coupons for the clearanced snack items

    20.52 bigcrumbs

    This is from coupons and ordering gifts online.
    Also for ordering the free stampers from vista print. Even though it's free you still get money back on the shipping. ??? I know I don't understand it either but I do get money back every time I order the vista freebies. LOL
