Did she put that on a gift card???? NOPE! She opened the cash drawer and gave me the cash, saying, THIS IS BETTER THAN A COUPON ANYDAY! My favorite Wags of all time !

Grand total: Bought $41.11 worth of merchandise after sale price at a cost of 1.59 which is 96.13% savings. The receipt says I saved $74.07 before all the clearanced prices too! I have 1 more RR that will expire on Saturday so I have to hit another local WAG for more great deals. I was also going to buy Mylanta but the price at this store was $7.19 so that was a no-go.
