This was not one of my best shopping trips money wise. Before I went, I thought that I would do better. I had to change the Olay product out in the 1st and 2nd transaction because "facial wash" is not a "cleanser" in her book, and the product did not match the picture on the coupon! Yes, I have heard it all now!!!

I still have a bunch more of the $1.00 off coupons that I can use. I am regrouping right now and going back tomorrow to a different clerk.
