One store I visited didn't have bread or eggs, I had to get lightbulbs to have something useful to spend my free money on.
The Slimquick I bought yesterday was on clearance for $5.69; $0.69 after coupon. I found the other one I needed for SCR #53 today, with a green clearance price sticker of $5.49. Only I didn't read the tiny fine print on the big sign taped to the shelf that said the 75% off was off the green sticker price. Surprise! My Slimquick rang up $1.37.
Normally a surprise lower price is great, but in this case, I had a $5.00 off coupon. The Cashier said "Let me see your coupon", and scanned it, and it took it. Great, but my total is going to go in the negative.
I was trying to get her to stop, void, and let me go regroup (find something to spend $3.63 overage on) but she was all like, it took it, there's no problem, and continued on checking me out.
So of course I couldn't use all my coupons, and got my Nivea coupon back.
Nice I got the coupon back to be able to use later, but would have been nicer to have been able to by something else with the overage from the Slimquick coupon.
Anyway, I get a $10.00 SCR for the (2) Slimquick, so can't complain too much.

Where'd you get the slimquick coupon?
coupons.com
huh. I don't remember ever seeing that.
It's still there, I just checked on my hubby's laptop.
I didn't specify any zip code.
Click on the Heath Care category on the left side.
On his it was like the 3rd one down on the right side. It's a purple and white box that says Save $5.00 on SLIMQUICK Appetite Control.
PS, I went to coupons.com from the link on your blog and found it.
