4 STORES-78 ITEMS-FOR A TOTAL OF $69.06

WE HAD ANOTHER GREAT GROCERY SHOPPING TRIP YESTERDAY. WE HIT WALGREEN'S, (WHICH WASN'T SO GREAT!!) MEIJER'S, KROGER'S AND WALMART. THIS IS WHAT WE GOT:

WALGREEN'S: THIS TRIP WAS TOTALLY SCREWED UP. WE WENT IN TO GET THE REYNOLD'S ALUMINUM FOIL FOR FREE AND 1 TUBE OF COLGATE FOR $2.99 MINUS 0.75/CPN = $2.24 MINUS THE $2.00 BACK FOR YOUR NEXT TRIP AT THE REGISTER. THAT WAS MY DH'S TRANSACTION. THEN I WAS GOING TO USE THE $2.00 TO PAY FOR WHAT I HAD PICKED UP: 2 BOXES OF DENTURE TABLETS AND ANOTHER FREE ALUMINUM FOIL...BUT, THE TOOTHPASTE TRANSACTION GOT SCREWED UP AND THE CASHIER "QUICKLY" RANG UP MY ORDER BEFORE MY DH COULD TELL HER THAT HE DIDN'T GET HIS $2 OYNO. WHEN HE PICKED UP THE TOOTHPASTE, HE PICKED UP THE VALUE PACK THAT HAD 2 TUBES OF TOOTHPASTE FOR THE PRICE OF ONE. IT WAS MARKED ON THE SHELF THAT IT WAS PART OF THE $2.00/BACK DEAL. HE TOOK IT TO THE CHECKOUT AND IT DIDN'T RING UP AS PART OF THAT DEAL. SO THE CASHIER WENT BACK AND PICKED UP 2 TUBES OF TOOTHPASTE. WE DIDN'T WANT 2 INDIVIDUAL TUBES AT $2.99 EACH... SO... TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT... WE ENDED UP PAYING WAAAAY TOO MUCH AT WALGREEN'S. OUR TOTAL WAS $11.01 AND THE TRIP SHOULD'VE ONLY COSTED 0.24 FOR THE TOOTHPASTE AND $4 FOR TWO BOXES OF DENTURE TABLETS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAVEN'T EVER SHOPPED AT WALGREEN'S AND I WON'T BE SHOPPING AT WALGREEN'S AGAIN. I FORGOT TO POST THE TOTAL BEFORE COUPONS...IT WAS $16.73
