With .48¢ sales tax this came to $8.48 which was paid for with Bonus Cash.

I earned back $8 in new Bonus Cash so besides the tax this was free.

Then I hit Weis to use my other Butter rain check on Senior Discount day so I got an additional ¢¢ off my butter.

Except...........you knew there was an except here, didn't you? lol.....

This cashier was a hot mess.
A teenage boy who you could tell didn't want to be on the register.

First thing is he rang up the $6.70 pork loin twice and also forgot to peel the instant discount stickers off both loins, which I had to remind him to do.
After he took the loins out of the bag to remove the stickers he scanned one of them a second time.  I saw him do it and I saw on my screen that I was charged twice for that loin so I said something.
Mr. Cashier didn't take to being challenged and got his back up about it.  He began to argue with me that NO! he certainly DID NOT ring that up twice.

So not wanting to have to throttle a teenage boy in a crowded cashier line I just said fine(and to myself I said I'd be talking with the CS person shortly to get my $6.70 back).
Then he forgot to take the meat stickers off the pork chops too....sigh.
He had to call someone over because he didn't know how to do a rain check.....at least the front end person knew and nothing went askew with that part of the transaction.

Then he forgot to ring up one of my salads which were part of the Buy 6/Get $3 off Deal.  I quickly calculated in my head that not getting $3 off my order was in my favor if I was getting a $3.49 bag of salad free(the one he didn't scan).
After his snottiness over the double charged pork loin I wasn't about to accuse him of not ringing up a bag of salad and have a worse scene on my hands.  His mistake and attitude made me OK with getting .49¢ worth of salad free. HA!

So my Subtotal was actually $77.44-$19.04(w/out the $3 back wyb6)=$58.40 OOP
Reg. retail was $123.69 or a 52.79% savings rate.

The best deal, besides the "free" salad and the free dog food were the pork chops.  $7.75 with the BOGOFree sale and an additional $4 off w/meat stickers means I paid $3.75 for 2.68 lbs. of chops or $1.40 per lb.  Not bad.
The garlic herb Pork Loins were $6.93 after meat stickers so $2.32 per lb. for those.
The Hormel chili was $1.42 and 1/2¢ per can after the doubled Q.
The Coleman hot dogs were $1.12 after that Q.

Not a bad trip and I am still just barely under my $400 food budget for June still.($25.97 left)
