For the most part everything went according to plan. I did want to get Kashi Crackers for $2.99 - $2 coupon but they only have honey crackers (puke) so I put in a comet @ $0.99 and Oreos @ $1.99 to replace it. The only other problem I had was they didn't have diet gingerale so I had to get all regular.

DH came and was a MASSIVE help. He took the first transaction out to the car, emptied the gingerale out of two boxes and clipped out the coupons for me in the parking lot and then came back in to give them to me

Both the manager and the employee were surprised to find you still got the points despite going lower than $50. The employee was quite rude to me about it to begin with until she saw the reciept and then she was kinda surprised/jealous in a mean way. The employee did the first two transactions and gave me the dumb "one per purchase" line about the coupons but said she would do it this time. *eyeroll* The manager did the last transaction and didn't have a problem with any of my coupons

The manager also agreed with me that it was definitely a wise idea to do the shop when I did as opposed to tomorrow (today) during the day as it would be so busy and they will be sold out of a lot of sale items. I made her get out a pen and paper to write down the online coupon websites

I had an issue with the movie passes promo last week... they didnt want to give them to me even though my before tax total was way over the 75.00.... I fought with her and she gave me the movie passes

Great brag!! I never thought about getting the finish at sdm.... Thanks for the idea!!

I had thought of it, until I called and the store told me it was $10.49 so I changed my mind on getting it. Then someone on SC reminded me there is a $2 insert coupon that expires end of month for it. I had two. If I had three I would of gotten another one, but I remember trading them not too long ago.

It was a nice change because most of the time its like dragging around a toddler.

The manager at the end just ignored me and turned to DH and said "You picked a good one, a real saver she is!" DH just smiled real wide.

One cannot be expected to go straight to bed after doing shopping like that! Plus deal was DH would only take me if I cut his hair after we got home

I don't wear makeup so unless I could get the full purchase price, tax and postage refunded I wouldn't buy those products.

Great middle of the night brag! I'm impressed that you can cut hair at 2:00 am! You must be a night owl!
Great shop!
