The Simple Truth $1 off coupon only worked on the single serve packs of peanuts (they have since fixed the coupon and specified 10 oz or larger sizes). So it only took $1 off because you bought one pack of peanuts and four packs of cashews. I know that doesn’t help after the fact but I wanted to share why it didn’t work out for you.
Congratulations on your new addition! 🙂
