I was actually really annoyed with this transaction. The Gain fabric softener sheets were $1.87 but I had $3.00/1 coupons. So even with 2 other purchases the total came out to be -$.53. The cashier thought it meant that I owed them $.53 and I didn't really care (it was nothing to argue over) but when I tried to pay them it had him get a manager. The manager said that I couldn't be given money I had to at least pay sales tax so she re-scanned all my $3.00/1 coupons to $1.87/1. So I had to pay for the other purchases (it was just candy for my Young Women's lesson this Sunday). IF I HAD ONLY GOTTEN A STUPID CANDY BAR LIKE I WANTED BUT NOOOOOO - I'M TRYING NOT TO EAT SUGAR!!! If I had just gotten a little treat I would have paid around $.10 for the whole thing. GRR! I guess you live and learn. Next time I have a coupon that gives me overage I'll make sure I purchase enough to cover it all so I have to give them at least a teeny bit of my money.

I have caught the coupon fever. So I've dedicated a blog to my progress in hopes that if I ever feel burnt out I will be able to look back on all my savings and keep pressing on.
