In case you can't see, there are:
- 4 Glade candle tins (on sale for $1.66 each)
- 2 Glade 2oz soy Fragrance Collection candles ($2.99 each)
- 1 Gerber bottle ($.99)
- 2 Johnson & Johnson travel first aid kits ($.99 each)
I used:
- 4 $1.50 candle tin coupons that come in the candle tins (on sale for $1.66 each, so I paid $.16 each)
- 2 $3.00 any Glade Fragrance Collection item printable that was out a few weeks back
- 1 Target coupon from a recent mailer for $1 off any baby feeding accessory (another clerk a few days back told me bottles didn't count since the picture was for utensils and wouldn't let me use the coupon - she DID let me use a different coupon that had a picture of shampoo on it but said any toiletry item to purchase Q-Tips) and the bottle was $.99
- 2 $1 off any J&J first aid product excluding trial size (found in Rite Aid on a display)
I learned that if one cashier doesn't understand the coupon, just try again later with a different one. There was a manager helping my cashier today and she had no problem with any of my coupons - she just adjusted down so that I didn't get overage. Most importantly, I learned that customer service can be your friend.
How, you ask? Well, one of my $3 coupons had fallen into the stroller. I didn't see it until we got to the car. I knew my total was too high and I just couldn't find the error at first. Once I loaded our stuff in the car, I found the missing coupon and went back in the store to customer service. I had my coupon and my receipt and my explanation. No problem whatsoever! The cashier handed me the $3 cash!
I had heard of people taking coupons to customer service after the fact and had never tried it. I thought it seemed a little dishonest. Well, I honestly overlooked a coupon. Target gets reimbursed the full $3, so they aren't losing any money. Now I will always triple check my receipts and fix errors right away!
