*HT normally doesn't give overage, so I'm confused as to why these coupons gave the full tripled value, even though it was more than the item. I'm also confused why one coupon did not give the full value tripled...I don't know if it has to do with the sale prices or not. The overage more than compensated for the q that did not take off full value.
*The other sad part about my spending is $3.29 of that was for the frozen pastry! My total would have been $4.13 if I had not gotten it.

*I didn't understand how my total came out to be less than the price of 2 milks ($3.98). The cashier accidentally voided a TP instead of putting in the raincheck price of $1.00. It turned out okay since I got it free with coupon anyway, but they would correct it somehow in their system since I'd already checked out.
