Krogering – Part Deux

Thank goodness Megan showed up or I would not have been able to do all three transactions during one visit.  I did not want to hold anyone up and we did the self-checkout thing.  Crazy, right?  A couple of my coupons were missed, but some of my free coupons rang up higher than expected.  I will take it as a wash, in my favor.  These things happen.

I love being organized. I save so much more, my trip takes less time, and I feel better about it afterward. Today I actually made a spreadsheet to calculate how many items I needed, what coupons I had, and which transaction was which. And I paperclipped my coupons in three separate sections. Not every day I do that, let me tell you! Oh, and it was not my intention to hog all my Catalinas for my next visit. Megan took them and put them away before I could use them.

No shelves were cleared due to my excessive stockpiling of granola bars and fruit snacks.

I would like to comment on the e-coupon usage.  I am sure it is just me, but when I know a rule I feel obligated to abide by said rule.  Yet, this is a rule of which I am unsure.  The Cellfire site does state the use of e-coupons should not be combined with paper coupons; it does not say they cannot be combined.  Is this just semantics?   Now, I do not always know what e-coupons I have or if they will work.  So, to me e-coupons are a nice little bonus.
