Weekly Savings Report 10/2

In gearing up for Monday’s surgery, I did a lil bit of shopping last weekend! I came back with some great savings, and even used coupons at Wal-Mart with NO problem!

Speaking of problems using coupons at checkout… have you ever had an experience with a rude cashier? Stephanie at Couponing 101 has a great post, An Encounter with a Rude Cashier.
