Don’t you love saving a buck or two OR five?
Last night I was @ Fry’s grocery store. I bought some cereal that was on sale for $1.88 a box. I got 2 boxes (those honeycomb strawberry flavor) b/c everyone likes it dry.
I got out to the car and went over my receipt and noticed I did not get my cereal on sale. I was full price of $3.89. Funny thing is, the bill was over $400 and I had it down to $226. A lot of meat, juice, soda, lunch meat, cheese, bread, toiletries ect… How I found those 2 items… I am like a hawk I tell ya!
So of course me, being me, calls from the parking lot (I have issues with my legs, hence if I was wrong, I didn’t want to walk back in) and confirmed the sale price.
I ended up getting $5.15 back *and* a free box of cereal  valued at $3.89 (of course it was on sale LOL).

My husband and son HATE it when I do this… :/ We’re not hurting for money by any means but I love looking for good deals especially on products we like. My son could not believe I went back in for $5.15! (Actually it was more then that. I ended up w/over $1.50 in change on top of my .15… the manager said take it… the last people didn’t take their change). She insisted I take the free box of cereal with me. Gotta love excellent customer service.
Of course my husband sat IN the car…. He claims he had to guard the groceries. Ummmm okkkk… Why do men hate it when women do this? And then after the fact he snagged my $5!
I told my son I was going to frame the $5.15 and the box of cereal and hang it on his wall *lol* (he is 14). He still wasn’t impressed. *humph* I love finding even .50 mistakes. I stink at math so I amaze myself when I do this, finding even the smallest errors.


Oh and then!! I have some Fry’s gift cards… my mom sent them at Christmas. So the guy scans one… $26 on it. Ok. Scans the next. Says nothing is on it. I said hmmm normally I do not keep empty GC. So he scans it again…. Not only did it pay the remainder of my bill. I had $280 left on the card!
It was almost funny b/c he was razzing the box boy about not doing a good job… *heheheee*
 
Great Story! I love to save too. That is a great savings on your groceries, I need to start clipping more coupons.
 

My husband thinks that kind of penny pinching is petty too. So, one day when I only saved 5.00, he made fun of me. Later on that same day, I asked him for 5.00. He handed it to me and I threw it out the window. He didn't know what I was up to and he freaked out telling me that I just threw out 5.00. I told him it didn't matter. I saved 5.00 earlier in the day at the grocery store and it seemed to be nothing to him at the time. He never questioned it again.
