Coupon Karma

Last night I used the car while my husband when to his second job.
So I went into Walgreens since I heard that they had some Viactive on clearance
for $3 and a $3 coupon in thier weekly flyer. (So would have been free with their coupon)
Sadly they did not have any on clearance at my store.
I figured I would check back in a couple of days to see if that changes.

So then I stop into Giant Eagle which is right next door to Walgreens.
Their weekly sale was going to be ending that night so, I wanted to grab a few things
before it ended.
Coke was on sale 5/$5 - I grabbed 1
100 Calorie Packs were on sale 2/$5 - I grabbed 2
Oscar Mayer Singles were on sale 2/$3 - I grabbed 2

Then I headed over to the health and beauty area.
I had a raincheck for Schick Intuition 3pk refills.
The raincheck was written as BOGO (Buy one get one Free)
I had $4 off 1 coupons so I asked them to ring up the refills
as half price so I could use a coupon on each one.
Thankfully my Giant Eagle has no problem doing this. :)

Then I had coupons for .75 off 1 Suave Deodorant
They were not on sale, but the regular price is $1.56!

Giant Eagle doubles coupons upto $ .99
So this is how I ended up:

1 Coke 2Lt @ $1
2 100 Calorie Packs @ $2.50 each
2 Oscar Mayer Singles @ $1.50 each
11 Suave Deodorant @ $1.56 each
10 Schick Intuition Razor 3pk Refills @ $5.19 Each (This is half the regular price per the raincheck)

Total Before Coupons: $82.38 (Including Tax)
Coupons Used:
$ .50 off 1 Coke Coupon x 1 = $1 (doubled)
$ .55 off 1 100 Calorie Pack x 2 = $2.20 (Doubled)
$ .75 off 1 Oscar Mayer singles x 2 = $3 (Doubled)
$ .75 off 1 Suave Deodorant x 11 = $16.50 (Doubled)
$4 off 1 Schick Intuition Razor Refill x 10 = $40

Total Coupon Savings: $62.70
Total Spent Out Of Pocket: $19.93 (Including $4.32 in Tax)

I plan on reselling the Schick Intuition refills which
should more then make up for the amount out of pocket.

After dh was done with work, we went to Walmart.
I had to return a couple of things that I had bought a differant day.
(Things I had bought without coupons)

When walking in the door, I saw 10pk boxes of Capri Sun
Wild Cherry for $1.97
We normally don't by Capri Sun but I figured it was a decent
price for dh to add to his lunches. So I grabbed 1 box.

Then I had seen that they had Kraft salad dressing for $1.58 each
and my mother in law had just given me 2 coupons each for $1.50 off a bottle.
So I grabbed two dressings, and headed to the Health & Beauty area.

I checked to see if they had any more All Bran with the FREE coupon
peelies attached to the front like the night previous. They did not.
I checked to see if they had restocked the Kotex yet from me
wiping them the night previous. Nope none in site.
So went over to the Bandaids.
40ct Bandaids are sale this week at Walgreens for .99 each
Walmart does this wonderful thing called Price matching.
If you bring in an ad from another store in the area,
They will price match the same item at the same price,
if they carry the item. I would normally just buy the
bandaids at Walgreens, but they have been giving me trouble
when I try to use a $1 coupon on a .99 item.
An Walmart normally does not give me any trouble at all.

When I went to check out, I price matched the Bandaids
and everything else rang up nicely.
I gave her the Kraft dressing coupons first
and then I noticed the total was $6.06 ??? Strange
I didn't think anything of it.
Just gave her 6 coupons for the bandaids
Total came to .18 with tax ???
Strange again, I thought it was going to be higher.
Just figured I had calculated wrong and paid with a quarter from my pocket.

When dh and I were walking away from the register
Dh questioned the amount. We checked, and sure enough
she had taken our $1.50 coupon off 4 times instead of twice.
We were right in front of Customer service.
So told a lady that we owed them $3
And explained the mistake with the coupons.
She smiled, I think she was more shocked that we were honest
then anything. She told us not to worry about it.
I asked 3 more times if she was sure, because I didn't want
the cashiers drawer to be short, get in trouble, etc.
She assured me it would be fine. An for us not to worry about it.

So we left with 3 bags full of goodies for .18!
It surely was the coupon angels looking down on us for sure.
I strongly believe in coupon Karma, an believe you should
always be honest in an oversight regardless if it is in your favor or not.
