Default Re: What sort of Mistakes have you made since couponing?

Ill be the first to admit that when I was a newbie I made copies of printables. I didnt know you couldn't do that! I thought it was free coupons for all.

Once I learned that lesson I moved on to asking everyone I knew to print legit coupons for me so then I had 20-30 coupons that would net me something free after coupon (Barilla Pasta) and I tried to hand over this big wad of printables. It didnt fly at my store and I summiarily got reemed out at FW by the "pros". That taught me to fly under the radar little (but not much since my stores don't pose limits on most items I get as many as I have cpns for...but I dont bring in more than 2 of any printable even if I have .3 computers and have 6 of them

I have bought some items that expired before we used them (not much) and have overbought item that my family doesnt like (certain flavors of quaker oatmeal comes to mind...that junk with the crunchies in it..yulk) I have collected coupons for a raincheck..then let the darn coupons expire (I JUST did this this week)

I have traded for winetags and let them expire (yikes)

Not watching the register when items are being rung up...

Even was short changed a return the other day. I paid $4.50 for something thinking it was going to give me a catalia and when I went to return it they only gave me $1.50 back and I didnt think twice about it.. Oh well!
