Target Deals - 8/26

I headed out to Target tonight because I needed to pick up a reward Cinderella figurine since my daughter has stayed completely dry, even through nap, for the past two days. Plus, I wanted to take advantage of their Quaker Oatmeal deal. As luck would have it, I found the snack bars first and I decided to do the deal twice so I could get the oatmeal, but also some of the snack items.

I had all kinds of issues though. First, despite shelf tags indicating different pricing, the Quaker deal items seemed to all be ringing up at $2.74. Second, when my cashier was checking me out, she didn't complete my first order before scanning my second and I wound up with an extra box of cereal on my first receipt, that was conveniently duplicated on my second order. I visited customer service to have this corrected. I'm always a little frustrated when I have to visit customer service to have something corrected, but I kept my cool - the folks at the customer service desk are cordial and helpful and I always appreciate good customer service.

Here's what I got:
