Shopping Trip – September 20th

Total spent: $1.46 – but was subsequently refunded $1.99
Total before coupons: $17.19 – this is the true retail value of the items, not the receipt total.
And I earned a power pump reward, bringing my total to 20! That’s $2.00 off gas!

I got:

4 Glade plug-ins (but it should have been 5!)
2 corn muffin mixes
1 package of Kotex
1 can of beans
1 bag of Twisted Cheetos – not pictured, because we already ate them all!

The cashier who rang me up was extremely nice, but everything rang up screwy. I had it calculated that after coupons, my total would be 5 cents. It came out to $1.04 (Cheetos were bought in a separate transaction), so I paid and then looked at my receipt in the car. Sure enough, I had bought 5 plug-ins, but it rang up incorrectly as 6. So I took my receipt back into have it fixed. Now, my total was only $1.04, but the warmers are $1.99 – I gave her more ONYOs than I would have if my original total had been correct, so it got all messed up. I explained this, and she looked at the receipt and told me she was just going to refund the full price of the plug-in that rang in wrong, so I got a $1.99 refund. And it gets even more confusing – when I got home, I realized I now only had 4 plug-ins in my bag – she had pulled one out to scan it, and did not put it back in the bag. To top it all off, when I pulled out the receipt to add up the totals for this post, I realized that she had not rung up my can of beans at all!! I can’t believe I didn’t notice this when I was looking at my receipt in the parking lot, but I am running off so little sleep that I completely missed it. (And this is after drinking a shot of pure, straight espresso!) Another thing that dawned on me later was that it printed out too many Glade ONYOs, since she scanned it six times instead of five. I should have just gotten five, but I counted and sure enough, there are six. She just handed me a stack of them, and I wasn’t paying attention. What a mess!!!!
