1 Blink Tears $7.99

I had a $2/2 Ritz Crackers MQ but it beeped and the cashier refused to take it. She said it was only good on the bigger boxes even though it said ANY. I should have had her take the crackers off but there was a line and I had one more transaction for her to do so I just let it go. I think I have discovered that I do not like what I like to call Coupon Confrontations. :) I should have given her my other $3.50RR to lower my out of pocket since she didn’t take the coupon but I didn’t think about it till later. Oh well. I did tell her not to ring up the crackers for the next transaction which meant I didn’t have a filler to use a RR to lower the OOP.
