Harris Teeter Super Double Trip #2

I went to a different store on the second day because I was out at a library program with my son and they have a lot more stock.  I promised myself that I would go and get the deals that were easy to get and not anything that I didn't know would work automatically so that I didn't have to fight with customer service people that I didn't know.  Sadly, I went a little off my plan!!!

I grabbed the Dole jar fruit, So Delicious shelf stable milk, and Brach's candy that were free with coupons. I got the Lipton tea which was pretty cheap at $0.30 each.

I got the Truvia sweetener, Kernel Seasonings Popcorn Salt, Barilla Plus pasta and the Zevia soda which was a money maker with the zvr.  I love the Black Cherry flavor so I didn't want to miss it at my store!!!

So to make up for the money making, I grabbed the Hormel pepperoni which was $0.89 each, Jif Hazelnut spread at $0.79 each, and the Ken's Dressing at $0.63 each.  At the very end, I saw that they had my son's Gerber which I had coupons and a zvr to make them a money maker so I put back some of other free stuff to get the Excedrin which we need so that I would have a little more money in the cart to make up for the overage.  I tried to stop and add but I had my son with me and he didn't know why we were staying in the aisle so I bribed with the iphone to play games and that got us all the way through check out!  Thank goodness!!!

The coupons for the Lipton didn't double and the guy gave me a huge hassle for the coupon and started to read all the words and told me my most hated words "I will do it just this one time!"  The other coupon that doubled but not correctly was for the Gerber food and he went on an entire rampage about how it was supposed to do that to offset the zvr- umm, nope and that it couldn't give overage- right, not looking for that!  We got into an entire debate over nothing and he only gave me $0.93 for one of the coupons and refused to give me the second one doubled.  Of course in his inability to use the computer, I think that he doubled my $0.75 coupons when he entered them in so I think that it worked out to a wash.  I just hate fighting at the check out especially someone who listens to what you says and says yes but listen to me.  I don't think that he understood basic math because he said that I got $0.32 off up above...yes, for the store sale which made them $1.07 each or a total of $4.28 for 4!!  Although the conversation probably only lasted a minute, it seemed like an eternity and ended with "I will do it just this one time!"  Do you think that I will come back when you treat me like that?

Anyway, I got away mostly unharmed with three bags of groceries wondering why I didn't just make the trip back to my store!!

Total Retail $73.32

Total Savings $69.63

Total OOP $3.69

I found out that if I got the other Ken's salad dressing that I had my eye on, I could have gotten $0.60 back on Checkout 51!  I just didn't want to try anything different because it takes so much for me to like a dressing and I really like the poppy seed one on summer salads.  Oh well!!!  How have you done??
