Harris Teeter Shopping Trip 5/5/2015

I wanted to pick up a few more of the Colgate-Palmolive promotion items today.  The deal runs through May 12th but some of the more popular items in the promotion seem to be consistently out of stock like the hand soaps and Irish Spring Gear body wash.

I had an evic coupon for Softsoap body wash that would have resulted in $0.50 overage for me but it did not automatically deduct from my total, nor did the $3 promotional savings so the manager had to manually input them for me.  The manager is always very nice to me and just put in a $5.00 coupon instead of the $4.50 I should have received off!  So the additional $0.50 made my promotional items free so I really just paid for the chicken.

I tried again in another to get the body wash and once again the evic coupon did not work.  This store had taken down all of the Colgate-Palmolive promotion signs as well which I thought was odd since the deal should be good for another week.  The $3 promotional savings did not deduct once again so the cashier input coupons to deduct the proper amounts.
