    Hey everyone,
    Did some shopping this morning and got some awesome deals.

    Walmart:
    2 x pantene shampoo PM loblaws $2.99 - $2.50 wub 2(brandsaver) = $3.48 or $1.74 each
    2 x pantene conditioner PM loblaws $2.99 - $2.50 wub 2(brandsaver) = $3.48 or $1.74 each
    2 x silhouette yogurt (was planning on PMing to food basics but was already on sale same price) $1.67= $3.34
    1 x listerine zero $3.37- $3 coupon(printable coupon)= $0.37
    3 x aquafina waters $1.50 - B2G1 free coupon(tearpad)= $3.00

    Zellers:
    1 x smart water $1.99- FPC (facebook promo)= Free
    8 x dawn dish soap $0.88 - (4) $1wub2 coupons (brandsaver)= $3.04 or $0.38 each
    Now here's my story,
    The cashier said I couldn't use more than one coupon per purchase because that's what the coupon said. I tried to explain that purchase and transaction are different, the one per purchase means one coupon can be applied to the 2 soaps that are being purchased.
    So she rang them in on 4 separate transactions because apparently ''it's easier''
    Then she tries telling me that she doesn't see why it's worth it because it's cheaper to buy the bigger bottles, and I tried to explain to her that no, its not cheaper.
    Because if you break it down:

    1 709ml bottle is $1.99 in order to use my coupon I'd have to buy 2, so that makes it
    $3.98 - $1wub2= $2.98/2 = $1.49.
    Buying 2 small bottles at 304 ml at $0.88 = $1.76- $1wub2= $0.76/2 = $0.38 each
    so I can buy 4 small bottles , get 1L and 216 ml of dish soap for the same price as the 709ml.
    So I was right

    Loblaws:
    Since both walmart and zellers didn't have ANY o.b tampons I had to go to loblaws for the deal.
    4 x o.b tampons $1.99- (4) $2 coupons(from manufacturer) = +0.04 towards taxes.

    All in all not a bad shopping trip!

    Sounds like a frustrating cashier to deal with! LOL. But good deals!! I didn't see the Dawn dishsoap when I was a Zellers - might take another peek if I go back there again later this week.

    You explained it great but I bet the cashier was still confused as could be - 4 transactions not the brightest light bulb in the batch.

    LOL yea really,
    and she wouldnt stop complaining about how tired she was because she had to work until 11pm the night before for the zellers midnight madness and how stupid customers were in the store until 1120 and she didnt get to leave till almost midnight..

    i was kinda like ok, i know i look like a teenager still and she probably thought i could relate but like thats not professional at all to complain to a customer about how much you hate other customers LOL
