Default I screwed up at Walgreens today!

I was going for the Razors, which are on sale for $2.99 for a triple pack. I had a buy one get one free coupon, and also a $2 off coupon. Instead of using both coupons for TWO packs, I grabbed three packs! I was so ticked off, I could have had 2 packs for 0.99, instead I have 3 packs for $4 and change. Oh well, I just started with this, it is still a bargain, right??

So you paid $4 instead of $18? Yeah. I'm thinking that is a great deal.

Anytime you save $$, its a bargain compared to paying full price(IMO).

I did the total opposite, but I got super lucky with my cashier. I had a BOGO on razors and I only picked up 1 - I'm not thinking clearly today! Fortunately, when I gave the cashier my coupon, she looked a little puzzled, but the machine accepted it, so I got the 1 pack of razors free w/o having to buy the other. Plus, I had another $3 off coupon that the computer took too. I came out ahead on that deal, but I didn't realize it until I got home. I still felt like an idiot!

I checked my receipt when I got home and I picked up two different Quattro disposable packages..one for $5.99 and the other for $8.49. I had the WAGS ES coupon and the BOGO so it still worked out to $2.99 for the 2 packs but I would've had them for .49 instead! I also grabbed the wrong Nyquil bottle, which wasn't on sale-return!, and some clearance candy I grabbed for fillers rang up at regular price-return!! Wasn't a good trip this time because I was in hurry and not paying attention--won't do that again!

I had the same problem with the razors. I went 1st thing Sunday morning and picked up 3 womens and 3 mens. The womens rang up correctly at $5.99and the mens were $8.29. I saw this before I even gave the cashier my q's and she game me immediate attitude. She said it will adjust once I scan the ES q. She did, and it took off the $18 for the 6 razors. She then told me that they weren't on sale. I pointed them out in the ad and she still couldn't figure it out. She told me that the $18 it took off made them the right price. Then she proceeds to tell me that she'll just call a manager up to explain it to me. I told her fine and that I know what I'm talking about...blood pressure was way up by this point! The manager comes up and she's got a brain so she just took off $6.90 and said that maybe the mens didn't ring up right, because they were 3 + 1 free packs. The cashier then came back and asked the manager what happened and she told her that she just had to manually take off the $6.90. She acted surprised, but sure didn't appologize.

The funny thing was that my husband was with me and he walked out when he heard me tell her that I knew what I was talking about. I think he knew I could handle it and he also didn't want to be associated w/ that "crazy coupon lady"

Default Quatro Bogo Worked Fine

Just came from my WGS @ Perimeter in Atlanta area. I bought a few pairs of the No Nonsense hose and 4 pks of the pink handle Quatro's.

Played by the rules, handed cashier the Quatro BOGO Q's first, then the rest.

Went smoothly.

I bought 2 last night w/o issue. I made sure I doled out my q's one at a time so he couldn't give me any b.s. It worked for the razors but not the gum. He shot me down on that.
