A Delightful Day At Food Lion...

I wanted to let my faithful readers know how my Food Lion 'fiasco' of last week ended up.

For those of you who are scratching your head and wondering what I am talking about, you can catch up by first reading:

Coupon Disaster

Then read:

Coupon Disaster Update

And now for the amazing conclusion....

I arrived at Food Lion today and went to the manager's office. The manager, Mike Mills, welcomed me with a warm smile and for a few moments we talked about last week, about the fact that they now had the coupon list on hand so such an incident wouldn't happen again and about how unfortunate it was that there are those who make counterfeit coupons. Then he told me he wanted to give me a $25 gift card, but he didn't have any gift cards, so that I should do my shopping and when I was done, come up and he would give me the $25 cash for my bill.

So away we went..shopping, shopping, shopping. We had a lot we needed today and there were great sales on things that we like to eat. When we finished, we stopped by to see Mike. He had our $25 and he had picked out a sheet cake from the bakery for us. I told him he didn't have to do that and he said "I know, but you were so great about the whole thing, I wanted to."

So away to the register I went. They opened up a register just for me. He bagged my groceries while the assistant manager checked out my groceries. I had so many great coupons today and there were so many great sales, that I saved over 61.00 in coupons and MVP savings! And throw in the gift card and the free cake. We ended up with 201.00 worth of groceries for 102.00. WOW! I love Food Lion!
