* Here’s what should have happened. Because we got three of the Almond Milks, we should have gotten a $1.50 catalina toward our next purchase. The register’s catalina printer, however wasn’t working and just spit out blank slips. Because it didn’t, we had to go to Customer service after the next transaction (Cont. after Transaction #2)

Transaction #2:

6 Carmex Lip Balms - $0.04ea ($1.04, MFG Coupon $1/1)
2 Cans S&W Whitebeans - $0.09ea ($1.39, Buy 10 get $5, MFG Coupon $1/2)

3 Pure Satin Shave Gel - $0.00ea ($2.30, Store Sale $1.49, Buy 10 save $5, MFG Coupon $1/1)

Total @ Full Price: $25.84
Final Amount Paid: $1.19
Total Savings: $24.65

 * At this point, our transaction wasn’t actually finished. We went to customer service and after a brief wait, the customer service agent asked what she could do for us. All I asked for was if there was some way I could get the Catalina that didn’t print. A quick call to her manager later, and instead of getting us the catalina… she handed us a dollar fifty. So effectively, they paid us $0.31 for our second transaction. 

So! We spent a total of $16.22 for what should have run us $92.15!

Did you get any good deals this week?
