On a related side note, I noticed on my receipt that the in-ad coupons didn't come off, so I went back in and talked with the manager. He told me that in order to use their in-ad coupons, your total AFTER coupons must be $10 or more. I have used in-ad coupons many, many times in the past without my after-coupons total being $10 or more, but he said they are starting to watch it more carefully. Thankfully, he did refund my money this time, but it's something to look for next time.
