What did I learn:

1.  Make sure to have coupons filed properly (I missed a couple and could have saved a few more $$)

2.  Make sure to stop at the customer service desk before checking out (once  you have all the products in your possession) if you have any unique or obscure coupon or transactions that may necessitate the cashier calling a manager.  This avoids delays in the line.  Having the products with you when showing them the coupons helps a lot. 

*(Gift cards are newly obtained from this week's promotions, but will count the gift cards in future shopping trips' savings, instead of this week.  I included 2 McDonald's BOGO Smoothies deal in the above figures.)
Plus:

• got $20 Rhapsody MP3 download codes in Schick razor packages

"I'm ready for the challenge."  That's what the cashier said when I told him I had a lot of coupon deals.  He looked a little nervous.  The young man was a bagger last time I was about a week or so ago.  So he's a new cashier.  He took a deep breath and said "Let's go."
