I normally wouldn't make a shopping trip in the middle of the month, but we were out of bread and there were a few free things with overages that I wanted to pick-up, so I figured I would use my overage towards the bread and other stuff I needed to get. I'm super proud of the money I saved, but I would have been even more proud if I had gone to a cashier who knew what she was doing. Regardless, I still saved a good bit of money.
Total Before Coupons and Price Matching: $30.81
Actual Amount Paid: $6.86
Total Saved: $23.95!!!Here's a breakdown for ya...
AirWick Freshmatic Compact Starter Kit $7.97
Price Matched with Dollar General $4.00 in combination with
$4/1 AirWick Freshmatic Compact Starter Kit coupon (SS 7/10/11)
Final Price: FREE
Pantene ProV Shampoo 29.2 oz $5.84
Free Pantene ProV Shampoo or Conditioner up to $4.99 in value (Mailed)
Final Price: $0.85
Honestly, I don't think she was supposed to use that coupon with that transaction. The shampoo I picked up rang up a different price than what it was on the shelf. I tried to tell her that, but she kept arguing with me, so I just let her be right. I was super frustrated by this point.
Herbal Essences 2-in-1 Shampoo/Conditioner 26 oz $4.97
Free Herbal Essences Product up to $3.99 in value (Mailed)
Final Price: $0.98
Same thing on this one; I don't think the coupon was meant for a product OVER $3.99, but my cashier couldn't quite understand that concept. I did try to explain. Like I said, I just got frustrated and was like, "Ok, whatever, just ring it up."

$0.75/1 Nature's Own Product (Printable)
Final Price: $1.31
ALSO, in this past Sunday's paper, there was a coupon for $1/1 Tide Detergent with NO size restriction. In the travel section, like where you find the trial sizes of all of the shampoos and whatnot, is a single "serving" of Tide for $0.97. Since there's no size restriction, you SHOULD be able to use this coupon for that product. Well, like I said, my cashier was not the brightest crayon in the box and tried to tell me that I had to purchase "what the picture was on the coupon".............Oh. Em. Gee. I finally just told her to take it off my transaction. Needless to say, I won't be going back to her. Ever.
If y'all snag some good deals, even from other places, lemme know!! :)
