Got more cash back at the supermarket than I was supposed to

I went to my local supermarket yesterday to get some things that I need and see what's on sale that I use. If something that I use happens to be on sale but I don't really need it right now I rather get it now for less than pay more later when I need it. The large size of the dishwashing liquid I use, that I wasn't able to get for the sale price when I went to the store end of December because none were on the shelf, was actually there. And the same sale price of 2/$6 was in effect. So of course I got two bottles. The toilet paper wasn't on sale before but was on sale now. Twelve mega rolls for $13.99 instead of $15.99. I got two packs of those as well. I think even the sale price is not cheap but at least I saved $4, which is pretty good. The toothbrush I use happened to be on sale as well. The price tag on the shelf said 2/$7, which means one should cost me $3.50. When I did the self-checkout the toothbrush rang up as $3.99, which is its usual price. And then it gave me a 26 cent discount, making the price $3.73. This was incorrect as it should have rung up as $3.50 in the end. Of course, I didn't leave the store. After I finished checking out I went to customer service to get 23 cents back. At least that is what I expected. What I ended up getting back was $1.43. I left the store happy but as hubby and I were driving back home I wondered why the girl gave me that much money back... Was it being sold for even less or did the girl make a mistake? Have you ever gotten more money back at the store than you were anticipating? The total spent at the supermarket yesterday was about $63. Going to the store I did not expect to spend that much. But everything I got is what I eat or use so it wasn't a waste of money. Though there were some things I bought (milk, grapefruit, Persian cucumbers) that I could've gotten at my Russian grocery store for slightly less.
