*I just noticed the OreIda rang up $3 each, and they should have been $2.49. Wish I would've caught that when I was there. I'll be going to get my $ back. (FYI-Tom Thumb & Kroger both have a right price guarantee. If the item rings up wrong, you will get the full price back. If you buy more than one item, and they all ring up wrong, you will get the full price back for the first item and the corrected difference for the rest of the items. You must have completed the transaction & paid for it. Just take your receipt to customer service for your refund.You are better off paying the wrong price if you are going to get it free!)

And I'm not sure what the $2 coupon was for (it says 2@$1).

Update: We were headed to Lowe's tonight, so I stopped at TT...got my refund, +$4.02 ($3 for the first OreIda, and .49 each for the other two + tax I guess).

I should know better than to expect a simple transaction at Tom Thumb these days. I had the boys, checked out, loaded the truck, buckled them in and then looked at my receipt. Ugh...

I bought 4 Coke 12packs--they were Buy2 Get2 Free + 2 Free Chips. "Suzy" said she only needed one of the 12packs...and then only rang up one 12 pack... so my chips didn't come off as free. I could have left and been $2.01 richer, but my conscience wouldn't let me do it.

I also bought 2 ranch beans that were marked 1.25 for quick sale (expire Jan 2013)...and they rang up the regular price of $1.55 each. (See right price guarantee above)

And I grabbed the wrong Jello Temptations. I got the 6 packs which were $2.99, and I meant to get the 3 packs for $1.99. It was the last item I grabbed and the boys were done by that point. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

SO... I dragged the boys back inside and explained my problems, all the while trying to wrangle Kade from the ceiling. She refunded my stuff and it was $7 something, and then I had to re-ring up the right Jello and pay for my Coke which was $6 something after tax...and I ended up getting $1 and some change back. Still not sure if it was right (she didn't give me a receipt) or worth it all for a clean conscience! ; )
--------------------------------------------------------
In the end I paid about $48 for both transactions (48 items including ground beef) after all mishaps and cash back.
