All of this for only $1.88!!

I did a great job finding bargains at Giant Eagle.  I ended up splitting all of the above into 4 transactions.  I’ve bought a lot of lunchable subs in the past few days but I made sure that there were plenty left for other customers so I didn’t deplete the stock (making sure others get to get in on the bargains is important!).

So, I had a little glitch in the shopping experience, 1st time for everything right!, the 1st 2 transactions ended up not shooting out ANY catalina coupons!  And of course it was extremely late at the store and customer service was closed.  I stopped after 2 purchases that night since it wouldn’t print catalinas for who knows what reason.  SO, I ended up going back the following day with receipts and products in hand to see customer service.  The customer service lady redid the purchases and gave me the catalinas I was supposed to get the night before.  I then did my other shopping and the other 2 purchases I planned on doing and those catalina coupons printed out fine.  Weird, huh?!

All in all, I did great with the bargains (and a little patience)!
