I've been couponing for a couple of weeks now and I actually feel like I'm getting the hang of how it works. This has not been without any awkward moments at the register, but that was all in my first week and the worst one was not my fault. I won't get into that because it will be much funnier to tell you about my husbands unfortunate transaction at the register this past weekend.
There was this great deal at Kroger on hefty slider bags and I had a coupon. This was the makings of a great deal...plus we really needed bags. They were on sale for 99¢ each when you bought 6, and I had coupons for $1/2 boxes. This made them 50¢each!
Josh was going to Kroger late one night so I asked him to get the bags since they were out of them when I made my weekly grocery run. He agreed and I gave careful instructions to only get the 99¢ ones if they had them and to buy twelve of them since you only get the deal in quantities of six. When he got home and hands me the receipt that states he has bought almost $50 worth of hefty bags! I was in shock! He had grabbed the boxes that were nearly $5 each! I asked how he didn't notice at the register that he was paying $50 for what I told him should cost $6. He said he got distracted when the you-scan cashier asked him if he was going fishing or selling weed with all those bags! The bags were returned the next day.
