I had a great trip to Walgreen's this week were we saved a ton of money but I was also reminded of some coupon 101 tips.
-Always review your receipt
-I thought that my total was a bit too high when I heard it. When I got to the car I found that I had been charged full price $6.99 for a item on clearance for $1.49. I had Walgreen's fix this and refund my money. I figured OK that is everything until I started reviewing my receipt to calculate how much we saved in coupons and realized that we were charged for an extra item. It was a total of $2.16 in over charge for that item. Unfortunately I live 25 minutes from Walgreen's so I did not go back to have this corrected. By checking my receipt I found that I was overcharged $7.66. This was almost a 1/3 of my total bill of $22.
-Make sure items are ringing up the correct rate
-Watch the screen or register to make sure that your sale items are ringing up on sale. I have had multiple incidences in the past few weeks were sale items are not ringing up on sale.
-Bring the weekly ad with you
-This way you can make sure you have the right size or item before you get to the cash register. Sale items are not always marked on the shelves.
-If you don't see an item ask if the store has it
-Items are not always were you would expect them. They may be on end caps or pulled apart with other sale items.

Brad and I were reminded of the same thing on our last shopping trip (8/26). We brought toothpaste 2for$5 but were charged full price (4.89 ea). I didn't notice until I reviewed my receipt at home. When we returned to the store the sign was down and they would not honor the sale price (it was an unadvertised sale). Needless to say we returned the toothpaste for a full refund.
