I made a quick stop at Safeway while I was out running errands yesterday:
Total spent: Zero!
Total before coupons: $5.79
View receipt
Got:
1 package of Trix yogurt – on sale for $3.00, used one free product coupon. I was invited to write a review of this yogurt for my other blog, and I received this coupon with my review materials. (Psst…I’ll be giving these away, too, so if you want to win yogurt, check Contest Corner tomorrow.)
1 bottle of Suave hairspray – on sale for $2.79, used one free product coupon that I received by signing up for a special promotion on Suave’s website in January. The coupon was about to expire, so I wanted to make sure that I used it!
When the cashier rang me up, both of these coupons took off their maximum value instead of the actual price, so the register ended up being negative $1.23; the cashier then added $1.23 to the total in order to balance it out to zero. So in case you’re trying to figure my receipt out, that’s what the $1.23 “Grocery” item is!
