Sometimes a Run Doesn't Always Go As Expected...

I went to Walmart today, expecting to get 2 Scott 4-pack tp rolls, 2 three-pack dish sponges, 4 Fiber One cereals, and 6 Healthy Choice meals. When I got to the register, 8 of 13 coupons wouldn't scan. The lady called over her supervisor, who was a total jerk. Very rude and unsmiley (that's probably not a real word...well it is now). She accused me of photo-copying coupons...which is not true! I printed them off online! Then, she wouldn't ad match. Walmart's policy says that they do BOGO's if the competitor's ad has a price listed for the item. Safeway's ad said "BOGO 3-pack sponges; save up to $4.29". (I also had a coupon for $1 off of said 3-pack sponges.) The lady said "well that's not a specific price" and wouldn't ad match it.


So, in the end, I ended up getting 4 items and using 4 coupons:
-three 3-pack cascade trials for $.97 each; three $.25/1 coupons = $2.16; saved $.75
-one 4-pack of Scott toilet paper for $3.98; ad match for $2.99, one $1/1 coupon = $1.99; saved $1.99


Ready for the good part?
I got all of these Ajax...












...for $9.57!! There are 29 in there...I was aiming for 30, but one of the stores had only 5 Ajax.


Summary:

Combined worth: $35.60
Spent: $13.72
Saved: $21.88 or 61.46%
