Copps Trip 3/5/11 $18.93...72% OFF! + used $10.15 in gift cards (from prior trips) = $8.78 |

~Purchased a $15 Copps gift card to be sure my coupons would double (see FYI below)
Total = $14.10 (+ received $15 Copps gift card to use in transaction #2)
~used $5.15 gift card from prior trip (accounted for in grand total below)
~FYI: the coupons didn't automatically double in this transaction (subtotal would have been $26.35 before manufacturer's coupons so they should have). I don't think it's because of the Copps gift card I purchased (as I've used these gift cards several times in the past to be sure my coupons would double & have had no problems). I caught this on the receipt & received the cash back for the non-doubling coupons (accounted for in $14.10 total) at customer service. I don't know what triggered the issue. & the employee at customer service didn't know either.

Just an FYI- the copps on fish hatchery is remodeling and they have tons of clearance items throughout the store. I went yesterday, but I didn't have time to shop for clearance items that I could double coupons for....shoot.
