If you don't have a store that plays nice - hunt until you do! LOL Great job angelsorce!

I've went to Deerfoot, Clay, Lee Branch, Valleydale and the new Publix on 31 near the Galleria yesterday and didn't have a bit of trouble with any coupons. I have shopped with Lee Branch for 5 years and never had any trouble out of them.

I forgot one of my $5/20 q's, so I could have saved an add'l $5. But still awesome deals!!

We got my daughter's birthday cake and I picked up one of the $50 gas cards - You can't beat free GAS!!!
I also bought DH a 12-pack of beer. I have a MIR for $10 back when you buy a 12 pack of Coors and $30 in charcoal/condiments/lighter fluid. Hmmm. Think I have receipts for that? Surely.

Wow. You did so good! How much is your tax? Ours is 8 to 10% depending on which store you are at.

Okay, here's my brag...after going to customer service twice (once to return the equal I bought & the other to get $8 in coupons they missed)...

I returned the equal because the one that is on sale for $2.99 does NOT match up with the $3 Equal coupon in the All You Magazine. I missed it, but the cashier caught it & gave my coupon back. The one on sale is 215ct & the coupon is 250ct+.

Here's my brag:
2 Rosetto pasta bags
6 Kashi waffles
4 Smart Balance spreads
4 Eckerich Smoked Sausages
5 J&J 2x2 SteriPads
1 Neosporin To Go
2 Buitoni 4-cheese Raviolo
2 Simply Hash Browns
2 L'Oreal La Petite Frosting Kits
1 Purell w/Aloe
2 Capri Sunrise
1 Reach Toothbrush
1 Apple & Eve 8pk Juice (thought this was supposed to be free after coupons, not sure where I read that - but it wasn't)
4 A-1 marinades
2 Planters Peanuts
1 V8 low sodium juice
4 Smart Balance Popcorn
4 Muellers Pasta
1 Alexia Crunchy Onion Strips
9 Gerber Graduates Raviolis
1 doz large eggs
1 Equal (returned it)

Total including tax $27.93
returned the Equal - $3 cash
- $8 in A1 coupons cashier missed
TOTAL: $16.93 after coupons

the Apple and Eve comes out to be free or around.09 a box for the smaller 4 pack, or 3 pack. I double checked before I went! Thanks for showing your brag and getting the thread back on track!

Doh! I knew I should've written better notes!! LOL. I bought the 8pack - didn't even see a 3 or a 4 pack (and I looked in the organic section too). Oh well, it's not like my DD won't drink it.

Also, here's a funny thing (funny as in boo hoo, not funny haha)..my DH came home last weekend with a STACK of Greenwise mags that the SM at our Publix gave him because he was doing a spinner overhaul (whatever that meant) and was just going to throw them away.

Anyway, I went through the whole magazine and only kept the $2 Greenworks coupons. I looked at the rest and was like, it's too expensive, I'll never buy that stuff - and I threw the whole stack in the recycle bin last Sunday. Then about Tuesday or so is when I saw that they were FREE with those coupons!! ARGH!!!! Did I mention our recycling picks up on Mondays!!:shrug7:
