Did my usual Wags run today. Had a friend and her mother come along to kill time.I truly don't think her mom thought I could do what my friend told her I could do.
I have gotten into the habit of always checking my receipt especially after leaving Wags or CVS. Quite frequently I catch them not giving me a B1G1 or a RR or ECB I earned. I'm always nice about it, however, and if they insist that I didn't earn it or it wasn't on sale then I return it right then and there. That's what I thought was happening today.
I was matching my RR with what I thought I had earned and found one for $4 missing. I went right back to the register to hear the normal spiel of you can't use RR to purchase the same thing in RR which I assured her that I hadn't. Then I heard that my coupons probably took me below the required $10 purchase which is why it didn't print. I said I wanted to return those items then. Here's where it gets kind of hairy and my friend left! :-)
Actually, the manager was VERY nice and thoughtful. She went to the other register and voided the whole thing out and brought over to the register where I was waiting. She told me the same spiel so I actually went and got another item in the promotion to make me over the $10 required. She was ringing it up again. This time one of the coupons wouldn't go through and she insisted again that since my total sales was going to be under $10 I wouldn't get the RR, so I asked her to go ahead and take the extra item off since I didn't really need it and it wasn't going to help me.
Here's the thing. When I was rung up the second time with the same items and one less coupon, my total went for $2.06 to just .06! Crazy!! And when I tried to return the RR from the first time which she voided out, she said I could keep them AND THEN she gave me the RR from the second transaction as well! I asked her a couple of times if she wanted them back and she said no.
Well, here's my bad part. I come home and lay everything out in front of Mike to tell him the story and what did I find? I found 2 RR for $4 from the offer that I had said I didn't received (color me embarrassed). Apparently, I had gotten the first time, but it must have gotten stuck to the back of another one, so I didn't notice it. AND THEN when she rung it up again insisting that I wasn't going to receive it again....I did receive it again!
So, this week is a little crazy for Wags. My OOP went from 2.06 down to .06 and my RR went from $16 up to $32 all because I didn't see a RR I had received. No, I do not recommend this a normal part of couponing!!!!!

I had a coupon for $1/1 from http://www.nbc.com/the-celebrity-apprentice/exclusives/sponsors/rightguard/ and then received the RR for $5, too!!)
