Rule #1

So today I thought I would brave and go grocery shopping with my kids! I kind of threw everything together last night for my trip with coupons and what I was going to get! I thought I was organized but apparently not! I missed out on saving $15...That might not seem like much but I was only planning on spending a certain amount and paid an extra $15! When I taught my first coupon class I told everyone to go by themselves! I didn't obey my first rule! And I should have planned better while I was organizing my coupons!

I did get some awesome deals with the Quaker Promotion but spent too much on the Schick razors! I purchased 10 of them but was shorted $12 from not doing separate transactions...

These razors are usually $7.79 / each and so only paying $19.82 for 10 of them should be a good deal but not for me....I am bummed because I can't go back and return and redo the transaction because I don't get my coupons back so I am going to go and see if they will refund me the $12.

At frugalchicliving.blogspot.com she posted that her promotion savings automatically came off ($3 x 6 totals of $10) - $18 but they hit total before her coupons! Minor detail apparently!

I thought I knew a lot about using coupons and store promotions but each store and checker is different and every time I go I think I learn a new lesson! Wish me luck getting my $12 back!
