Needed Bananas for Aiden..okay and FREE plates

So I made a stop by Publix on my way home this evening..Aiden needed fruit for breakfast (plus I wanted more free paper plates/bowls...less dishes for me to wash).

This is what I bought.

3 bananas
1 medium white onion
1 package - Dixie paper bowls
1 package - Dixie paper plates
total out of my pocket....67 cents!

But here is the story. Paper plates B1g1 and I had two $1.00 target coupons and 2 $1 manufact. coupons....cashier said "you can't use all of these because it will then make the product free" I politely and soft spokeningly (a Cindy word) (loudness sounds confrontational) reminded her that Publix allows you to "stake" manufact. and competitors...she said "i can call someone for customer service if you want"....Since there was a line forming..and I sincerely try to be a friendly coupon lady and respectful of others time...I said that's okay and asked for my total...I paid $2.67...the bag girl, said I would go to customer service (which I needed to anyway..because remember last night i forgot to take a couple of coupons with me). ANYWHOOO...Walked over to customer service desk...SWEET customer service lady apologized and explained the policy (the one I tried to tell the cashier) and gladly gave me the $2 back that the cashier insist i pay...so VIOLA...with a couple extra steps...67 cents! Plus got my money for the coupons I forgot to use last night :) Thank you very nice customer service lady...i so tried to recall her name for this post..but it was the Publix at Orange and Michigan :)
