Hmm, well that's frustrating

Staples
  • HP Multipurpose Paper $5.99, used $1 coupon and will submit for $5.99 Easy Rebate (cashier has to scan this coupon for rebate form to print) = $1 profit
  • Little Stuff Box $0.99
  • Used $5.30 Staples Rewards, total was $0.80
At another store, I bought another ream for DBF's account
  • HP Multipurpose Paper $5.99, used $1 coupon and will submit for $5.99 Easy Rebate (cashier has to scan this coupon for rebate form to print) = $1 profit
  • Clearanced Note Pad $0.50
  • Used $5 Staples Rewards, total was $0.59
Staples receipts are so confusing to read. I bought this stuff on my lunch break so it was several hours ago at this point, but I'm 99% sure that the cashier told me my total was $1.59 and I forked over $2. In actuality, it was $1.59 before the $1 coupon, so only $0.59 total. I should have received back $1.41 in change and the receipt even says this. If my total was only $0.59, I wouldn't have given him two $1 bills. I know I didn't get any bills back, only change. Nothing I can do about it now though. Grr

Walgreens
  • Biore Pore Strips and Biore Scrub $5.99 each, used BOGO coupon (free cleanser, 3/6 SS) and $1 coupon (peelie found on product) and got back $5 RR (monthly deal, valid until 4/30) = FREE/$0.01 profit
  • 2 Scott Naturals Paper Towels (6 pack) $5 each, used two $1.50 coupons and $1 Walgreens coupon (took off $2, monthly coupon book) = $2.50 each
  • 7 Snickers Chocolate Eggs (1 oz) $0.29 each, used two $1 off 2 coupons (3/20 or 4/10 RP) = $0.03
  • Used two $1 RR's and $4 RR, total was $5

You can call the store and if their cash receipts were off by that amount for the day, they'll give you back your money. They should have reconciled by now...wouldn't hurt to call and talk to the manager!
