Publix Freebie Trip=$64 worth of Coffee for FREE!

I had a raincheck from a recent Pubix BOGO sale for Gevalia coffee. Because there was a Publix BOGO coupon at the same time, there was no whole bean coffee by the end of the first day of the sale cycle. I checked back daily until my coupons were about to expire. At that point I requested a raincheck and the customer service rep assured me that I would be able to use my coupons with my raincheck even though they would expire in the mean time. He even stapled one of them to the raincheck. I've checked back once or twice a week since then, but the whole bean was out each time. With another week left on my raincheck, I checked again yesterday and found the whole bean in stock. I grabbed 8 bags and did this deal.

8 bags @ $7.99 each = $63.92
...used raincheck to get BOGO deal = $31.96
...used 3 Publix BOGO coupons = $7.99
...used a $5/$30 = $2.99
...used 3 $1 manu coupons = $0!!!!

The manager seemed very displeased that I was using the coupons more than a couple of days after they expired, but the corporate policy says the coupons are redeemable as long as the raincheck is. He did the deal, but kept remarking that he'd have a lot of explaining to do to corporate. Gotta hate it when the customer knows more about the policy than the manager! :)
