Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. John 5:24

Now I have eight boxes of cereal, a gallon of milk and a pint of buttermilk. I have spent a total of $4.24 ($1.96 + $.28 + $1.96.) I still have a coupon for another gallon of milk. The coupon expires on February 2.

Now I have purchased 5 boxes of cereal in 2 transactions. I am not sure if I am entitled to the additional $2 off, or not. I went to the customer service desk with my two receipts and the $2 off an 5 boxes of General Mills cereal coupon, told them that I had used coupons, and asked if I was entitled to the $2 back. The kind customer service representative cheerfully redeemed by $2 coupon for $2 cash.
