I went to the store armed with my rain check on flour (and a four year old helper). I needed bread flour and my rain check let me get two at $1.97. It was also on sale for $2.99 so I was thinking about grabbing a few extra because under $3 is a good price on bread flour but I hesitated and only got the two on the rain check. I might have to go back to get two more before the sale is over.
I saw some evic specials in my e-mail so I decided that I would pick them up too. There was a Hamburger Helper on sale for $0.77 (limit 2) but the coupon was $0.75/3 so I was trying to figure out if I would get two or three. When I got to the store, I saw that they were $1.25 sale price. I grabbed three because with double coupons, the third one was free. I also had an evic coupon for $0.75/3 (which didn't come off). After all sales and coupons, they were $0.18 each! I think that makes a super frugal meal (plus we have a little addiction to the Philly Cheesesteak one)!!
There was also an evic special on the Organic Harris Teeter crackers normally $2.99, on sale for $1.97. There was an evic zvr coupon for $1 that didn't come off but it was $0.97 so I figured that it was a good deal for cheese crackers.
I rang up everything with one of my favorite cashiers and none of evic zvr coupons came off :( I don't know why that happens and if I could figure it out, I would totally stop doing whatever I am doing. I heard that you should ring up your card before they start everything and it would work...nope. I heard wait until the end and then scan it...nope. I seems to be a random!! Does anyone else have this problem? I paid and went to customer service. They went into the computer program on an ipad and pulled up that I really did have the coupons. Then they gave me back $1.79 in cash which I calculated off my total below and added to my savings. It would be nice to get everything on the receipt without having to write it all on so that I remember later but at least I got the money back and didn't have to return things!!
Total OOP $7.40- $1.79 cash back= $5.61
Total Savings $6.18 + $3.04 rain check+ $1.79 cash= $11.01
