That’s a great trip! You’re stocked up on ice cream toppings for the summer now 🙂 My kids were thrilled!
Oddly, some stores don’t seem to carry all the products.

I was so frustrated with my cashier this morning when I went.. My total cost was 14.00, which was a bit more than I wanted to spend, but I did pick up a couple of items not on list/no coupon that I needed. The deal with the cashier.. I received an email from Farm Fresh with a 2.00/25.00 purchase coupon. I handed it to her and she acted like I was trying to rip them off. She questioned me about where I got it from. I told her and she called the manager over. The manager had never seen one either.. Thank goodness for the cashier working behind mine, she turned around and said that she had gotten one as well when she signed up for emails from FF. Of course everything was just fine then and they accepted it no problem lol They also would not let me use the $1/3 balance bar coupon because it only had 2 bar codes.. However, 2 lines over, my husband used his with no problem.. It all depends on which line you go through apparently LOL
Dana @ the Coupon Challenge says
It’s unfortunate that stores are acting that way. I know they are losing a lot of money on fraudulent coupons and it really does negatively affect the rest of us. I’m so glad the other cashier vouched for you, so you could use the FF coupon!
DENISHA says

Dana @ the Coupon Challenge says
You had a great stock-up week! Way to go!
Rebecca says
That is definitely frustrating Donna! Does anyone else sometimes almost get nervous about going to the store with your coupons? Like you just know SOMEthing isn’t going to go right? LOL, I feel this way sometimes. Especally Walgreens for some reason!
Dana @ the Coupon Challenge says
I used to feel that way about WAGS. Even though my coupons were always in order, there were always problems. Now I have a store that I shop at because I don’t have to worry about all the headaches and questions.
