First off, I assure you I don’t plan for this stuff to happen…it just does. I picked up three packs of the Bounty DuraTowels that were on the shelf in the spot with $9.99 shelf tags and had printed out $1.00/1 Bounty DuraTowel six roll pack+ (change zip to 77477 then hit refresh).  Since I’d already texted BATH ($10/$25), PAPER5 ($5/$20), SPRING ($1 paper towels) and THANKS ($1/2 paper towels) to 827-438, there was a good chance I’d get all the discounts – hope springs eternal.

So what happened?  My total was $40, which I found odd since I only had the three items for $9.99 BEFORE coupon AND there was no $10 gift card.  But someone had stocked the 12 roll packs in the 8 roll section, and I hadn’t paid attention, just grabbed.  The cashier suspended the transaction and sent someone for the right product.  Girl came back with the green package shown, not the DuraTowels I wanted. Soooo, they were kind enough to give me the larger size packages ($18.99 shelf price) for $9.99, but the discounts dropped the price too low to qualify for both the $10 and $5 discount, so I tossed in the $9.99 pack to bump it over the threshold, then they gave me $`10 credit since they weren’t able to generate the gift card for these sizes… Note that my $1 mobile coupons disappeared after the transaction was suspended and transferred to another register or it would have been even lower.

Final OOP was $11.45 after REDcard (which isn’t all that when your subtotals are always low).  While the 8-pack stacked with the mfr, mobile and $10/$25 coupons would have been a few cents cheaper per roll, it’s worth it ’cause I just don’t need any more gift cards!
