Kroger Shopping Trip 5/1/2015

I am very excited about my trip to Kroger today!  I wanted to stop in to pick up some Mission tortillas because they are on sale for $1.00 this week.  They had a few carts in front with some clearance.  A few weeks ago I picked up an Easter basket for $0.25 and they had 3 baskets in one of the clearance carts.  I looked at the price on one of the multicolor baskets and it was $1.09!  Almost a month after Easter I thought that price must be wrong so I looked at the larger basket it was sitting in and the price on the larger multicolor basket was only $0.19.  A smaller pink basket was priced at only $0.05 so I put all three of the baskets into my cart and took them up to customer service to ask about the $1.09 basket.

The woman at customer service said she had to call her manager and the manager said to give me the basket for $0.10 because it was marked incorrectly!  So she put a new sticker for $0.10 over the $1.09 on the smaller multicolor and then wrote up another and stuck it on the larger multicolor basket!  So I got all 3 baskets for $0.25 when they normally cost $5.99 each!

As I was leaving customer service to get in line to check out I saw a $1.50 oyno catalina sitting on top of the trash!  I did not have enough items in my cart to use it so I went and picked up another package of tortillas to use it.  So thank you whoever threw out $1.50, it basically paid for my whole transaction!
