| Reminder to check your receipts
I did really well yesterday with the BOGO sale going on...shelf price $97.77 and my OOP was $19! BUT when I was looking over my receipt they charged me $4.37 for the Gilette shaving gel that was marked $1.00 on the shelf and I used a $1.00 cpn thinking I was getting it free. I picked up three - two of them rang up for the $1.00 and the third one for $4 so I'm headed back today. Also there was no signs up saying the limit for Bryers ice cream was 2 so I bought 3. I was thinking it must be a regional thing - I didn't check the sales paper - now realize I should have. Plus I thought if there was a limit they would only let me buy 2. I wasn't thinking that it meant only 2 for the $1.88 price. So that is going back too. With the 75 cent coupon from Sunday's paper that makes the $1.88 ice cream only 38 cents!
I just did a workshop at a ladies meeting Tuesday night on coupons and one of the "tips" I gave was to check your receipt immediately - preferably BEFORE you leave the store and here I was so thrilled with my savings I assumed it had to be right. The sale is sooooo good I'm going to pick up some more things while I'm there making these two things right. Hopefully I'll get the shaving cream free since it rang up differently than what it was marked on the shelf. If not, at least I won't be out money for something that I thought was going to be FREE.
