The manager had coupons that made the SnackWell's .34 cents a box, I used in-ad coupons and mfg. coupons for the cake mix, sugar, and sausage. The Glade was on clearance and I used a $1.50/1 printable making it under $1.00. I used an in-ad coupon for the V05 conditioner which I will be using to make home-made fabric softener. The water bottle was in the bargain den for .25 cents and I needed a drink while shopping.My Rite Aid Trip

# Items Purchased: 22 Items
-I bought 6 bags of Malt-O-Meal Cereal, 4 Boxes of General Mills Cereal, 2 Family Size bags of Mission Tortilla Chips, 2 Boxes of Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks, 2 Welch's Juices, 2 Boxes of Emerald Breakfast To Go, 2 Arrowhead Water Bottles, and 2 boxes of Popsicle Novelties (not pictured because I left them out overnight and they melted all over).
*This trip was a nightmare I had planned my trip out , pre-order my groceries and was ready to do my 10 transactions and know what my total was going to be. When I got to the store only half the items I ordered were there which threw off my whole trip because I had it all planned out on how I was going to roll my catalinas. I found popsicles on clearance which I was going to double my catalinas on, fruit snacks were on clearance for $1.00 I had .50/2 coupons I doubled, and the mission chips I used $1/2 peelie which I doubled and was going to double one of my $1/1 catalinas but had a very rude cashier. The cashier was very impatient and made rude comments and messed up on my order scanning the coupons, then when one of my $2 catalinas didn't print from the malt-o-meal she was very rude about that issue as well. So my total was a lot higher than I had planned on but I was happy to get my cereal and juice at least as my pantry is getting a little low on those items. Make sure if you ever get a rude cashier that you report your issue to the store manager so that they can be made aware of the situation. If it weren't for the store manager being so nice and always helpful with coupons I would never do any shopping at that store again because of this cashier. It's not the first time she has been rude. (Sorry for the venting :)My Albertson's Trip
