I am sooooo impressed. I haven't managed to get a true $0 transaction yet... but I'm not giving up yet!

Awesome! I'm impressed too, I have no hope of ever doing it though. Mine wont take RR's towards any tax and I have to pay tax on before coupon total.

Very good! And I too live in the land of no double coupons and not so hot sales. I had no idea that TX and IL were that close. LOL
