Walmart Shopping Trip 7/19

Here is my latest shopping trip:

WALMART

3 Zyrtec 5 count packages: $5.27 - $5 off coupon = .27 cents each
Use this $5 off coupon (lower left hand corner) You should be able to print this at least 2 times.  Be aware that if you print it a third time, it might print a $5 off 70 count coupon instead of 5 count.

1 Bengay: $4.23 - $5 off = .77 Overage!
This was a printable coupon on coupon.com that is no longer available (good printable coupons become unavailable FAST)

8 Airwick Freshmatic Starter Kits: $4.98 - $4 = .98 each
Coupon from Sun paper insert 7/10

Subtotal BEFORE coupons: $59.88
Subtotal AFTER coupons: $7.88
Out of Pocket Cost after Sales Tax: $12.61 (have to pay sales tax on the original subtotal)

Hey...it works for me!  When I was putting the Airwicks in my cart, there was a manager and another woman doing price checks half way down the aisle from me.  I saw him looking at me from the corner of my eye and all I could hear were the words "they stockpile" and "it's crazy".  Does not bother me one bit.  Makes me laugh a little.  I must be getting this right then.   

I did only have 5 in my cart originally and then I told my husband that I really wanted 8 because I had 8 coupons but thought that might be "a bit much".  He told me to just get 8.  He basically said that I was already getting 5...how would getting 3 more make it seem any more or less crazy.  I agreed with his sarcastic yet witty remark!

When I checked out, the cash register was beeping because it needed a manager override.  A different manager came over and asked the cashier if he had voided a high dollar item.  He looked confused.  I spoke up and told her no but that I had A LOT of coupons.  She looked at the receipt and said oh yeah, that why.  She got a smile on her face and said we just have to make sure you're not a scammer and laughed.  Whatever.  You could tell she really couldn't care less though and neither could I because I got a GREAT deal!
