Crappy Cashier, but Great Savings tonight

Dh and I hit two stores tonight.
Kuhn's (our local grocery store) & Walmart.


At Kuhn's I had 2 rainchecks that were going to expire today.
So I wanted to use them up, plus they had Dial hand pump soap on sale.
I first hit the salad dressing aisle.
I had a raincheck for 10/$10 Marzetti Salad dressing 16oz bottles
Plus I had 30 coupons for $1 off 1 Marzetti salad dressing
Which made them FREE!
We really don't need any more salad dressing. (our pantry is already full)
But Marzetti is really my favorite brand of dressing.
An I figured I would resell a few of the 30 bottles at the flea market.
So grabbed 30 bottles of dressing and then headed over to the dairy aisle.



I had a raincheck for Daisy Sour Cream 8oz 10/$10
Plus I had coupons .50 off 1
The good thing about Kuhn's is that they double
coupons up to .99 So that made the sour cream FREE also.
I had only brought 6 coupons with me. I had more coupons
at home. But I figured we don't go through much sour cream
and they normally only have a shelf life of about a month or so.
So I grabbed the 6 I had coupons for, and headed over to see
if there were any dial left.



In all honesty I expected the dial shelf to be emtpy or pretty
close to it. To my surprise I found 22 bottles!
The dial was on sale 5/$5, I had coupons for
.60/1 any dial pump or bars. They would double making the
dial soap FREE!



So in my cart I had 30 Bottles of salad dressing, 22 Bottles
of dial soap, and 6 Daisy Sour cream. All which would be free.
My hubby doesn't like the total being $0.00
So we decided to pick up a bar of Lava soap which we needed anyways.



The cashier was so nice and friendly.
She joked with us about how mush money we saved.
But how we ended up using a whole tree to print our receipt. LoL

We ended up paying $1.66 which .37 was tax for the dial.
We saved $59.49 (due to some overage from coupons doubling)

We then headed over to Walmart since they are practically next door to each other.
Here is all we got there:

40 Kotex Pantyliners @ $1 each ($40)
3 Honey Bunches of Oats @ $1.98each ($5.94)
14 Bushes Grilling Beans @ $1.25each ($17.50)
2 Bar-S Hot Dogs @ .67 each ($1.34)
8 Dr. Pepper 2Lts @ $1each ($8.00)
5 All Bran Fiber Bars @ $4.48each ($22.40)
8 All Bran Fiber Drinks @ $4.48each ($35.84)



Total Before Coupons: $133.90
Coupons Used:
$1 off 1 Kotex Coupons x 40 = $40
$2 off 1 Honey Bunches of Oats Coupon x 3 =$6

$1 off 1 Bushs Grilling Beans x 14 = $14
$ .25 off 1 Bar-S Hot Dogs x 2 = .50
$1 off 2 Dr. Pepper 2Lts x 4 = $4
$FREE All Bran Bars x 5 = $22.40
$FREE All Bran Drinks x 8 = $35.84


Total Coupon Savings: $122.74
Total Spent Out Of Pocket: $10.91

The cashier was VERY pissy to start with. I guess she normally is not a cashier.
An they were busy an was told to get on a register. Lucky her, we were her first customers.
She was not happy about how much stuff we had, how many coupons there were, etc.


In the end though I was very happy with our deals.
