My first run on Sunday. We hadn't had iternet since we got back on Friday night, so I had to wing it. As a result, I didn't do so well, but it works. $30 worth for free.
Hubby's first run. Hehe! It looks like Lucy is having a staring contest with them in this picture. Haha!
My second run. Still no internet.
This is better. I sat in a BW3 parking lot at 7 AM Monday morning to plan this out. Without all my coupons and the sales, this would have cost around $70.
The cashier argued with me about some coupons because they had the Kmart logo on them and she said she couldn't use them because they were Kmart coupons and they would double when they weren't supposed to. She was wrong, of course, because they said "manufacturer's coupon" on them, and just came from a Kmart book...real Kmart coupons don't double automatically. Regardless, she wouldn't budge, and as a result, I got screwed out of $4 in coupons. I could have just put it all back, but I didn't really want to be that person. It was about $75 worth of stuff, and after accounting for the $17 I got back, it was only about $5.
The Special K deal is a pretty good one if you can print out the coupons. My other computer is still in the Mac shop, so I only had access to one set (3 cereal Qs and 1 coupon for the bars), and still did pretty good I think since it would have cost $23 otherwise.
Tax put me over the $17 I got back, but not too shabby for $60 worth of stuff. Those bags and containers will be great at Christmas for baked gifts. And many of the boxes of candles had coupons in them for more candles. :) I'm an addict!
Ah, now this is what I have been aiming to do. Even after tax, I made $2 on this order. There is $80 worth of stuff in this order too. Those Reed diffusers look an awful lot like something I could hand out as door prizes at a baby shower...hmm!
