Coupon Saga

So I read about a deal of getting some razors and I am on my last razors so I had been looking at the Walmarts by my house by of course they were all gone because if you are not fast around here you can't get the deals. This morning I had to go to Walmart for work so I thought I would go to the one by my work and check for razors while I was there because I work on the other side of the valley that is we'll put it "more well to do". Bingo! there were tons of razors. So the coupons said buy any 2 packs schick disposable razors except the 2 pack and save $6. The razors cost only $2 a pack for there is $2 of overage. I had two coupons because that's how many they allow you to print on coupons.com. Walmart coupon policy says you can have coupons that are worth more than the merchandise and can apply the overage to other items in your order so I picked up a jar of peanut butter. At the counter they rang them up and I gave the coupons and of course you can guess what happened. The lady said I couldn't do it because they were not the right items and she had to get her manager and the manager said that she couldn't do it because it was for more than the coupon. I kept telling her about the coupon policy and asked if she had a copy but she was showing me something totally different. Then of course the line built up behind me and everyone had their annoyed face on that the crazy lady with coupons was holding everyone up. I told her not to worry about it but she couldn't cancel the order without the manager anyway who left to go get another manager. They kept telling me that I couldn't buy these items when the coupon said "any schick disposable razors". Plus the store gets reimbursed and even makes money off of these coupons. When the other manager came she was really nice and said to the lady go ahead we get reimbursed and put it though and I paid 5 cents for 48 razors and a jar of peanut butter. Even though I know that I was right in this situation, there is still a little part of me that doesn't want to show my face in that Walmart again :) So I ask myself on the way out of the store. Is is worth it. Is it worth that hassel to pay 5 cents for a year supply of razors and some peanut butter when you have to go through that? I don't know? Still thinking about it. what do you girls think????????
