OK, so I sat for probably 2 hours planning a trip to Rite Aid for maybe 8-10 items hahaha
But I had it all worked out to the penny! Everything in order and written down. Coupons clipped and attached to my list. I was going on a mission! I would have purchased $25.and some odd cents worth of goodies for a mere $5.21 out of pocket! Earning $7.00 in + up rewards! I was ready to strike it rich ;)
I get to Rite Aid and notice the first item on my list was not on sale for $4.99 like the ad stated but at it's regular price of $7.99. No, this was all wrong!! This was not what I had planned at all. I almost felt like I was on a hidden camera show or something. OK, I knew I had to spend $25 to get my $5 off coupon but I couldn't spend $3.00 more than I had planned. It would have ruined my whole plan. So I thought I could surely find some thing in the $5 range with a $2 off coupon! So I shook it off.
Then, I went to find the 4 bottles of Nivea body wash. THEY WERE SOLD OUT! What?!? All I thought was "I cant do this anymore" ... I left the store feeling defeated and deflated. I was so pumped up and ready to make $1.79 today!
So, no more trusting online ads. And no more waiting until the last day of the sale. I have not given up. It was just not at all what I expected to happen. I wanted to come home and show off all my treasures and have my whole family ooohhh and ahhhh over them. Which I know they wouldn't have done but in my fantasy they did ... but in my fantasy I made $1.79 after using all my coupons today. HA I guess that just shows me I need to come back to reality. So tomorrow is Sunday and I am hoping the corner store has the papers bright and early!!
Wish me luck! :)
