Well... I thought it went really well until I got home and checked my receipt. I did 2 separate transactions to buy 10 and get $5 off. Well on one of them I have gone over and over and cannot figure out why I didn't get the $5! I bought 4 mac & cheese, 5 tuna fish , and monster drink. All had the tag showing the promo.
I am bummed, but these things happen. I can't figure out where I went wrong... just maybe the monster drink was in the wrong spot and I didn't buy the right one... But hey it happens. I still saved a ton of money.
Another thing I forgot to do was use my doublers on my first transaction... (the one the $5 was missing from as well) PLUS PYP said that for 4 mac & cheese you would get a $1 OYNSO.. I only got the one for the tuna! =(
But on the positive side this time was much quicker... even tho I didn't have hubby with me. I think I need to start going with him.. so he can watch the baby lol.
So here is my haul:
1st transaction:
* 2 Airwick Air-fresheners. $.50/ea (after $1 coupon should have been FREE with doublers)
* 4 boxes of Mac & Cheese - $1/each (should have been $.50 if I had the $5 promo go through)
* 9 Hamburger/Chicken/Tuna Helpers - about $.74 each ( I had 3 coupons - (2)$.75/3 and (1)$.80/3)
* 5 Tuna Pouches - $1.25 each (should have been $.75/each with promo) =(
* 1 Monster energy drink - $1.50 (should have been $1 with promo)
* 1 gal milk (
If I had used doublers and had the promo work right I would have saved an extra $6.80!! UGH! The cost of this transaction was $23.71. Actually I just realized she didn't scan my milk coupon!! so that's another $.75 I could have saved. That's what I get for going to the upset cashier!
2nd transaction:
* 2 Taco Bell Shells ($.50/each)
* 4 Airwick Air-fresheners (FREE)
* 2 cans of re fried beans ($.50/ea)
* 1 Taco Bell taco sauce ($.50)
* 1 fruit snack box ($1.49)
* 1 bottle of spray-n-wash ($1.99! after using $1.50/1 coupon)
* 1 Airwick freshmatic ( $1.49 after using $4/1)
* 1 Airwick imotion ($2.49 after $3/1)
* 1 South Beach cereal bars ($.99 after $1/1)
* 5 jars of baby food ($.29/each after using $.75/5 and they were clearance)
* Pork Chops ($1.88/lb so I paid $4.46)
* Romain Lettuce ($.99)
So I loved this receipt!! I also used doublers and had an extra $1.75 off! Check this out:
I don't know if you can see but I saved a lot! So I got $116.50 worth of groceries and only spent $41.68. That's a savings of $74.82 = 64%! It would have been 70% had I not messed up.. which would be my highest savings yet. Everyone makes mistakes =)

I had the same thing happen to me when I went...the cashier and asst manager both went over my items and confirmed that I had the right items. They didn't know why it didn't give me the $5 off, so they just manually put it in. After I paid, they asked me if they could look at my items and take notes of what I got and see if they could remedy the problem. Any way, this is exactly why it's important to pay attention to the register screen and make sure you get your discounts applied! And if not, speak up! They'll fix it if they can...they're great about that.
