First trip a failure!

It's okay. I'm fine with it now. I know this was a big lesson learned on my part. I had a coupon for Soy sauce $1 off. The soy sauce was marked $1.42 on sale. I should have gotten for .42 cents. Instead it rung up as $2.50. Also my Floss which was suppose to be free with coupon didn't go thru. Guess I must have matched it up to the wrong item. The eyeshadow was .42 cents as planned. That's the ONLY thing that went good. I got myself a new coupon file that is smaller and fits better in my purse. I will be switching things over when Jacob naps. I will eventually get a coupon binder which I've found the lady who's blog helped to inspire me to do this, will be selling fully stocked coupon binders. So I'm keeping my eye out for that!

OH! And I forgot to say the Walgreens clerk didn't know how the Register Rewards worked. She thinks you just get a coupon back. I'm hoping that coupon can be used for whatever you want, I'll look further into it. I'll be doing my CVS trip when dear hubby gets home so he can watch Jacob.

Lessons learned today:

#1 Go on your shopping trips on a full stomach so you feel good.
#2 Go on your shopping trips WITHOUT a screaming baby!
#3 CHECK all prices as they ring up and SPEAK UP when you notice something not right
#4 MATCH the coupon to the right product. I'm still not sure if this was the issue or if the old man just didn't know what he was doing. Either way check rule #2 because at the moment Jacob was screaming so loud I didn't feel like checking what was wrong! I just wanted out of there! LOL!
