Okay fellow couponers...i can't stop thinking about my trip to CVS tonight. I did not do so good, and i keep thinking of ways it could have been better. I did 2 transactions and I should have done 3! Here is what I got:
Transaction #1
Renu Contact Solution $7.89
Lipton Iced Tea $1.00
After coupons=
Spent .62 out of pocket, received 6.00 in extra bucks
Transaction #2
Twin pack Opti Free Contact Solution $14.99
2 Garnier Shampoo $3.99 each (7.98)
1 Garnier Conditioner $3.99
1 Garnier Hair Spray $3.79
Water Wings (for vacation) $2.99
U by Kotex $3.49
After coupons=
Spent $18 out of pocket, received 12.00 in extra bucks
I spent $18 out of pocket!!!!!!! That totally sucks. Before I started couponing, that would have been nothing. But now that I do, that seeems like soooooo much. These aren't even things I need. I already have sooo many shampoos & conditioners. I have so many boxes of pads & tampons, I would probably be good for a year! The only thing we will use soon is the opti-free (which alone only cost $14.99!) How in the world did I spend $18??!! If I could go back, i would have made the opti free another transaction....what a bummer.
It felt good to vent...i guess with so many AWESOME trips to CVS spending almost nothing, I was bound to have a bad trip sometime! And on the bright side, I now have $12 in ecbs.... Thank goodness we are leaving for vacation soon, i think i may need a very small break in couponing...although I may have to hit up Target while I'm down there and you know I'll be taking my coupons :)

Isn't it funny how you really did get an awesome deal, but we see it as a bummer? I can just imagine the feeling you had when the total came up...your stomach drops and you think "What the heck went wrong?". I had one of those at Walgreens a few days ago. They didn't give me one of my register rewards and I didn't catch it until I was home! I was like, "UGH! Rookie mistake!" I'm sure you'll make up for it and then some. And at least you got stuff that you can use eventually!
