Giant Shopping Trip 5/29/09

Ok did it!  I completed a pretty good shopping trip at Giant.

OOP $56.57.  Not to bad. However, it got lower…

I did have a problem using the X/XX Bloom coupon because you have to have a cashier enter it in or the customer service and this is usually something you want to use first.  I got back $10.25 for that coupon + tax!  Yeah, I was surprised that I got tax back too.

Then the Cat machine didn’t print out my $2 for the Deer Park water deal.  I got $2.00 back for that.

Last, I didn’t get back my $.05 for each bag.  The manager was wonderful in refunding me all of these things and he said there was a way to do this at self checkout.  I got another $.25 for the bags.

After all said and done my OOP came out to $44.07!

The bottom of my receipt says this:
Total before savings: $102.90
Your Total savings: $48.23 + $12.50 (credits above) = $60.73
Tax paid: $1.90
Total: $44.07

About 3 lbs of Chicken Tenders for $8. I scanned the chicken first then used the $3/15 and then scanned my card.
