Dillons: 1/26-2/1 - Mega Sale

[MelInKansas]

My son was helping me keep track of the # of items we had on the mega sale (we ended up with 50) plus some other items not on the mega. Well when we checked out, only 49 items counted, so we didn't get one of the $5 off. I think he was almost as upset as I was. I need to look at the receipt and figure out which item it was. I have never gone to CS for something like that...not sure if they will oblige at my store.

I can't imagine doing all this with little ones (my kids are old enough to help).

The first time I did it was because actually one of my items didn't ring up. I had caught the cashier with one item that he missed, and then he missed another one. I was a little more on-the-ball and looked at my receipt and one of my $5 had not come off. I counted them up, noticed there was one less can of chicken broth, went to CS right away and she rang up the one can, took the $5 off, and returned $4 to me. I'm sure they think I'm nuts, though they have been really nice to me. The CS person today had been helping bag groceries when I was checking out and saw me with my mayhem!!!

My kids are actually great. I pushed them today by going right before lunch (my 18 MO fell asleep on the drive home actually so she didn't have "lunch" until 4:00). They get all into it too, my 6YO pushes one of the kid carts and collects items. Sometimes though I like to get up and go at 6 AM or go after they go to bed. That's very peaceful!

I have one more tip. Kellogg's Cinnabon Cereal had "Try Me Free" rebate advertised on the box. $2.49 mega price (so rings up $2.99). So, if you buy it on mega and actually have a coupon for it (I have a printable that I think was from Kelloggs.com) it's a MM (is that right? Or do they rebate you the amount minus coupon? On Dillon's receipts I don't see how they could possibly tell).
