Harris Teeter Triples day #4 Why knowing your deals is important!

Once again I have managed to make money on a shopping trip. And by that I mean I came home with $1.83 more than when I left. Why? Because the catalina machine didn't work at the lane I was in on my first order. When I asked the YOUNGIN where my $3 catalina was he said it didn't spit it out. I asked him if the "green light was on" indicating that the machine was ready to go. And he says "No, because I think it is out of paper." Ok, so he knew it was out of paper yet decided not to fix it. By now he was on my second order and I immediately told him to STOP and get the catalina machine working-then apologized for telling him what to do. Honestly I wasn't as nice as I could be-but my motto is "I'm not from here, I don't have to be nice." You see people from NC are generally nice easy going and don't raise their voice...I am from NY enough said.
So he did stop and tried to fix it then he said there was something else wrong. In an attempt to get things moving I told him that I would just go to CS and get my money (since the ad was in the paper anyway). He went ahead and called for help since he was going to need them anyway for some of my coupons that would need overrides. She came over and tried to fix it for several minutes....then just gave up after replacing the paper and ink cartridge. She just asked how much they owe me and I told her (they know I know my deals and never question me). She went to get me my $8 and just after I paid it spit out 2 of the 3 catalinas I was supposed to get. So I had her only pay me the $3 for the first missed catalina (though she would have given me $8 if I hadn't said anything).

A deal worth noting...By 2 Hillshire Farms Lunch meat get $3 off instantly. Which is per 2 you buy, not only 2 per order. There is another deal where if you buy 3 you get a catalina for a free insulated Lunch tote (if you mail it in along with your receipt and upc).

On with the order!
