Target had some great deals to cash in on and I got the following: 3 Gillian & O' Malley sleep tank tops for $.64 each and 5 Glade Holiday scent products for $.80 each. The Baked Magic scent smells soooo good, by the way. I did get a little hassle from the clerk on these purchases but shouldn't have. I had a $10 off 3 women's PJ's coupon and I found the 3 tanks on clearance so the clerk went back and forth with her supervisor a few times as if I was trying to pull a fast one on her. The coupon did not exclude clearance items so I got the deal. Then she forgot to give me the $5 gift card for buying 5 Glade products and when I pointed it out she pulled out the weekly ad and thumbed through to find the deal and then looked over my receipt. I did get the card but ended up feeling like I did something wrong....I did not. These were advertised specials so you'd think she'd be familiar with them. It really is true that younger male clerks are way easier to deal with when you're using coupons! For some reason the girls sometimes give you a hassle like we're putting them out or doing something wrong. We need some better training in retail!
My third deal was at Walgreen's where I got 4 large bags of M&M's for $.50 each, 5 Campbell's soups for $.60 each and 2 free Butterfinger's Snackerz. So we came home with bags and bags full of stuff and only spent around $25 (there were some other little items in there that weren't necessarily super great deals but deals none the less that we bought). Nice. It's especially nice that so many stores are quite close to us so I really don't have to waste too much gas driving all over.
I'm glad I have this particular obsession right now. It totally keeps my mind off cycle stuff. I'm on CD3 and it usually seems to take forever in the follicular phase just waiting until it's time to start testing for O.
I so hear you about the checkers. They make you feel like a criminal for getting the deal that they advertise and for what? It's not like they're not getting paid! I have learned to stick to the younger male cashiers as well but if I ever have a problem after the transaction is complete, I take it over to customer service. They are usually much easier to deal with and when there's a missed coupon or gift card will usually just give you cash for it.
ReplyDeleteWay to go on all the deals though! Just remember that you don't have to get every deal that comes around. You'll reach coupon burnout fast if you try to go to that many stores every week but it's definitely fun for a little while. :)
