Yesterday I went to Publix for big shopping trip. My mom and aunt gave me their coupons from their papers from the past few weeks, so I was armed with savings! Also, Nick wasn't with me, so I was able to spend a full hour in the grocery store matching my coupons with the store deals!
I saved $60 and spent $63. However, after examination of my receipt when I got home, I noticed my $4 off 4 Beggin Strips coupon was only calculated as 40 cents. UGH...that burned me up!
Since I now have a pregger belly, people tend to distract me with the typical questions asked of a pregnant lady (When are you due, What are you having, Is it your first.....????). The bagger had the line up of questions flying, so I wasn't paying attention to the screen.
Next time, I will need to follow the tips of the trade.
-Stack coupons highest to lowest value. If one pops on the screen out of order (40 cents instead of $4), you know that is an immediate red flag of a possible error.
-Hand the cashier coupons one by one. I am sure this ticks them off, but if you want full savings, it is worth it! If I would have done it, I would have saved $3.60 more yesterday!!!
