* Ok, so the Charmin I intended to get a price match of the CVS ad for $10 (see below). When we went to the customer service desk, it was pointed out to me that the size was not quite right. They were both 16 roll packages, but apparently the CVS pack equals 32 regular rolls while Target's equals 64, so not close enough for Price Match. So I said to return them, bringing my total down to $16.21.

Now I realized later that this should have made my $5 off $75 coupon invalid, but since they also missed one of my coupons and they had none of the "Free with Purchase" totes to go with the M&Ms despite a worker going to check and "confirming" (turned out he lied) they had them (otherwise I would've bought something else), so I felt less bad that neither I nor the customer service desk employee noticed this put me below $75. *shrug* These things tend to come out in the wash in the long term, but that's what happened this time.


We still needed Charmin so off to CVS I went...
