Super Saturday

Sister and I shopped all over her town today, and I came home with a haul!  The above items should have cost $135. 43, but with combining sales with coupons, I spent $36. 65!  I was able to get many of the items absolutely FREE!  The following were free due to coupons:

• 2 Packages of Irish Spring bar soap
• 4 Snickers bars
• 2 tubs of I Can't Believe it's not Butter
• 8 boxes of Ronzoni Pasta
• 2 Tostitos Dips
• 2 of the packages of Bistro lunchmeat
• 5 packages of Bar S smoked sausage

Not bad, heh?  This is why I save coupons. 

The only items that I did not have a coupon for were the Powerade, the oranges, and the chips (but they were on a special deal, and buying them gave me the Tostitos dip for free)

• We also hit Kohl's (bought a greatly reduced suit and sport-coat for hubby , with an additional 30 % off)

• Wal-mart -had a couple of free item coupons and some other good ones there as well.

• I got free shampoo at CVS

The day ended on a sour note however due to a huge misunderstanding on the part of the checker at Kroger's.   I let these things get to me, but she clearly did not know how coupons work.  I did make one mistake because there are no posted or clear rules on their coupon policy.  I had 3 too many Ronzoni coupons in my order.  After I did that (even though  I offered to return them) she acted as if I was out to "get" them.  I was in the right other than my Ronzoni error, but she started questioning all of my coupons after that.   I will shake this feeling off, but I hate being made to feel like I am cheating when I try so hard to be ethical.  Would some of you out there vouch for me, and could you please call this Kroger store? 

 I will sleep better tonight if you do! 

All for now, I need to cook tonight.
