My first SC brag! Paid to take out Satin Care

[munchkin969]

So I felt like I needed to post my first brag, as it is the first time Ive made money taking out an item!!

I went to Walmart to cash in on the $1.88 shaving cream yesterday, only to find out that they didnt have the size. After checking SC last night, I saw that Walmart had put out a correction for the smaller sized creams for $1.50 instead (Thanks to everyone who posted about that). So today, I head back out across town to Walmart and pick up 21 cans of the cream. When I get to the check out, the cashier rings in the first can and it comes up $3.16. Well we all know what that means! So my first can in now free. A manager is called over to verify the corrections, and after 10 minutes, everything is settled and sure enough Im getting my cheap gel!
The only bummer is the cashier insists on ringing in every set of 3 gels and the $5 off coupon in separate transactions. But what do I care? So 7 transactions later, Im walking out of the store with $1.40 in my pocket and 21 cans! Yippee. This purchase is going to last me through my last year of school and till I get a job!!

Thank you to everyone on this site who has given me the extra knowledge and tips, as for the last several years I was not maximizing my couponing and now I feel like a coupon star!!
