"I'm not letting you walk away with all that stuff for FREE!!!"

I was looking through my "coupon mountain" as Russ calls it, and had many q's that were set to expire this weekend. Of course we couldn't let a FREE package of hot dogs or Wheat Thins get away, so off we went to our friendly (not!) neighborhood Wally World! We actually decided to try a different Walmart for this particular couponing adventure and it paid off big time. We had 2 of the nicest cashiers that anyone with a coupon for every item in the basket could ask for. :) Thanks Ginger and Brianna!

We hit RiteAid and Schnucks on our way back as well, details also below. The trip into RiteAid was anything but pleasant. The cashier and manager were both clueless concerning their own coupon policy. The manager was adament that they could not (and would not) accept a BOGO q with a BOGO sale. Well, because I have had this fight previously I knew better. She made several phone calls and finally accepted my coupons, but with much misery hence the title of today's post.

Okay, so here are the breakdowns and then we will get to the pics!
