went to 4 wags today to see what i could get. here is what i did

Store #1- the cashier was so exicited and couldnt believe her eyes that she called the manager over to tell her what i had saved..kinda scared me with the makeup ringing up b1g1 instead of 50% off..

1 charmin ultra 3.49-.25mq=3.24
1 gill body wash 4.00-b1g1=free
1 gill deoderant 4.00-1.00mq=3.00
8 almay 1 coat 55.92-b1g1=27.96-32.00ivc=4.04 overage

8 almay 1 coat 58.92-28.96b1g1-32.00ivc=2.04 overage

Total before coupons 16.98
subtotal 1.99+.87 tax
Total OOP $2.86

Store #4 now here comes the argument

2 charmin ultra =6.98
12 almay 1 coat =83.88-41.94b1g1-48.00ivc=6.06 overage
2 pks marlbro cigs =6.67
1 gil bw=4.00-4.00b1g1=free
1 gil deo=4.00-1.00mq=3.00
used a $10RR
total before coupons 106.82
subtotal 1.88+5.61 tax
Total OOP $7.49
total saved according to receipt $112.54

Now HERE is where the argument started. My $2RR for the gillette didnt print out. it sounded like it was getting ready to but then the cashier started ringing someone else up and it stopped. so i told her i should have gotten one and she sent me to the cosmetics counter and called a manager. I told her what happened and she looked at my receipt and told me "you wont get a RR when you didnt spend the amount of money required to get it" i said um I bought 2 products and that should give me my RR...she insisted because my total oop was only 7.49 and the gillettes are 2/8.00 that that is the reason i didnt get it. so i asked to to rering them to see, she told me no, i said fine then return them and give me my coupons back. she said no you wont get your coupons back unless you return everything you bought. i said well if i'm not going to get my register reward then I dont want the gillette. she said she would return them and refund me the full amount on them and keep my coupons. i told her fine cuz she wasnt listening to me and i knew i was right because i have done this 2x already prior and even showed her my other receipt and RR, but she still insisted she was right. So anyways she refunded my debit card for $8.70 ...thats fine with me, I'll take the loss of a couple coupons for them paying me $1.21 to walk out of the store with over $100 worth of stuff since my original oop was only 7.49. so in all it was a good day, also went to target and got 3 boxes of surf laundry for .26oop and went to winn dixie and got 80 jars of babyfood and a pizza for $13.xx oop.

Oh and I still have a $5.00 RR on top of it all.

Great job!

I cannot believe the manager was so unreasonable...you may want to call the district mgr and let them know?

I wanted to ask about the Surf? Is Target the best place to use those coupons?

i'm not sure honestly, its 4.54 at my target, but i used a $5 gift card from the glade on 3 boxes - the $3 coupons, so oop was only .26 i think i've seen others get it cheaper elsewhere.

yeah she drove me crazy..and then she was giving the "polite rudeness" after i told her that I would call her corp office and clarify that I knew i was right..was kinda funny how she changed her tone at that moment

I loved your title on this post! I plan on visiting 4 stores myself. Now, I might be wondering which one is going to be contentious like yours!!!

if its cheaper than 4.12 which is the price I saw at SWM, then you get it cheaper after the $3 MQ.
