Totally paid to shop!

Whoop! Whoop! Got some cash back from ol' Giant Eagle just now!
So I notice I have a bunch of coupons for -bies that are expiring between today and next week so I figure, "What the heck I'll put some pants on and go." (Yeah, that's right, I didn't bother to put pants on today). Since the grocery store is more formal than my house I decided that was a wise thing to do .
Anyway, I got 10 Mentos gums, 2 cans Mighty Dog (for my invisible dog), 1 bag Temptations cat treats, and 2 Mars candy bars. 15 items and 15 coupons all for . A guy gets in line behind me and I warned him, "I'm going to have issues so you can go ahead." He refuses saying he's not in a hurry. Ok, bud I warned ya! So of course the cashier has to call for the register key 3 times! Once for the free dog food coupons, once for the cat treats, and then at the end when my total goes from $14.71 to -$1.02!
(Mr. I'm-not-in-a-hurry decides to leave at this point ).
Cashier was confused but handed me back $1.02. I even had my 19c ready to pay the tax...I have gone over my receipt and can't figure out how GE ended up owing me. No coupon was scanned more than it should have been nor did it take off more than it should have. I also received a Cat for $1 off Friskies Party Mix and another for BOGO Pedigree +. Not bad! And totally worth putting pants on for!


PS: Aha! Mystery solved! When the cashier punched in 60c for the dog food coupons they automatically doubled taking off an additional $1.20! Thank Heavens! Now I can rest in peace!

Well, after GE I hit Kmart with my 7 coupons (exp 7/26) for free Purina kitten food (GE was out!). I snagged 5 bags and paid 65c in tax! Still have 37c left...hmmm...how many freebies can I get with that? :shrug7:

Hey maybe you could buy a new pair of pants to celebrate?

I totally understand what you are saying! One day I went out in my nightgown at 2:20 pm to get my UPS shipment off the porch. I work from home and get shipments to my house. I start to work and clean and do laundry and just my regular multitasking and get engrossed - forget to put on real clothes. I walk out on the porch, grab my order and go in the house.
My daughter comes home on the bus and says "hey the one neighbor's daughter got a text from her mom that you are really sick...." then another friend calls and says hey do you want me to bring dinner over - UHMMMM sure but what is the occasion? Seems everyone must have seen me in my nightgown and just assumed I was sick. Word traveled fast. My youngest came home from elementary school (a two block walk) and runs in MOMMY ARE YOU SICK??? ARE YOU OK???
lol.

So I hear what you are saying about putting on pants...
