Not a good trip...that turned out okay....ever have one of these?.

So I was SO excited to go and try the Lowes Foods Unilever deal tonight and the Solo Plates one!  Well, NONE of my electronic coupons came off AT ALL.  The CSM worked with me, but still VERY disappointing!



Here is what I got:

(4) Solo plates @ 2.50 each =$10 (ON SALE FROM 3.45) (use (4) .75 coupons= $6= total due $4)
Ben Gay cream $5.19 (minus $3 electronic- $3 paper)= -.81
Frozen baby Back ribs = 12.77 (on sale for $7.65)
Oscar Mayer Turkey Franks (3.99 on sale B1G1) (use (2) .75 coupons but only one doubled??? so $2.25)=$1.75
Suave deodorant 2.25 (Should have had a .75 e coupon, minus .75 doubled)=FREE
Suave lotion (3.25, -.46 sale price, B1G1 coupon, .50 e coupon) should have a .50 overage
Suave bodywash 1.99, .50 e coupon= 1.49
(2) Coke 2 liters   $2.66, used $1 off coke WYB meat= $1.66

My total (according to MY calculations) should have been $15.24  Instead it was $17.04
KNOWING I will get a $5 rebate and I got a $4 catalina I wasn't going to stress about it TOO much .....until I got home and realized my total was so much higher because my B1g1 suave coupon was not scanned!!!  out the savings AND the coupon!  ARGGGGHHHHHH!  That's okay- my total was alright here it is:

total value:$51.64
total OOP: $17.04
Total price (after rebate and catalina): 8.04
total savings: 84.4% not bad considering it included meat!!

Have you ever had a trip that turned out CrAzY but almost okay in the end????

  1. I have had a few trips that didn't go as I had planned also. But I try to tell myself I am still learning and any money saved is a good thing. : )

  2. I know Food Lion is doing the Unilever deal but is Lowes Food doing it also? Don't see that on their circular.

  3. It's a different deal- they have electronic coupons that make them free with the paper coupons! But NONE of mine came off :(
