It happened to me many times, that the cashier starts ringing another person's groceries, when my Cat comes out. Two weeks ago, I didn't know I was getting some Cat for baby items, the cashier started ringing another customer's dog food, when I saw my baby stuff Cat (I bought a bunch of baby food) and asked for it; the cashier said that it printed after she started the next transaction and the customer (an older woman) was visibly pissed that I was asking for "her" coupons (yeah, I didn't know that baby food Cat come out with dog food) - they still didn't get it, but I just grabbed my Cat coupons and left.

My Wolfgang Puck cat came out pretty quick today; I bought 2 Arabiata.

A lot of people do this, it's all how you feel about it. I don't like to do it all the time, but I do occasionally - especially when I was buying Tony's Pizzas and found the cheese ones in stock. I never clear shelves, and only buy what I'm limited to.

I do it if my mom and/or sis aren't using their 20 q's that day. But be careful - some people have had issues when they used a debit/credit card to pay and the cards linked to the same household automatically.

I'm actually surprised that they let you pick up a Vic card for your mom unless she was with you. My HT's require photo ID and make you fill out the info in the store and make sure it matches your ID.

I DID! I think the problem is that maybe the items are so inexpensive that the computer isn't recognizing enough "cost" to double? My manager gave me cash back after we reviewed my order. Sheesh though! I started another thread (I think it is my first!!!) asking if anyone else had a problem ... glad to know I am not alone.

[apsodarffilm]

I had an issue with it also, but they out it through. I had gotten3 puddings and they keyed it in for me

[jordans_kisses]

I need to check the Chex thing, I've got the ZVR and q's and my son wants to make homemade chex mix.

We did run up to a different HT this afternoon, mine was out of Whonu's and I wanted some for the little guys I babysit, but they also were out. We got more Nut Thins, some soup, more SB milk, a Dr. O's pizza, and a few other things. Total pre sales and q's was 60 something, total OOP was about $8, but I also got 2 $4 OYNO!

Tomorrow should be interesting, my mom will be out this way and she's just getting into couponing, so I'm going to take her to HT and help her through her first SD. Should be 'fun', she's a little hard to 'teach'.

I really need to figure out how to store all this stuff!
