The one that really hurt me lately was...I had a 20% off tear-out coupon for Gymboree..which is rare for that store. So I had read a bunch of my board-friends' advice on how to maximize that coupon. I strategized and finally nailed down what I wantd to buy w/ it...all combined with the coupon, the clothes would have been 50% off of the SALE price if I chose right with the current markdowns. I had $100 to spend.

Well, when I got to the store, they were out of some things and had some other stuff that DD loved, so.....it got all screwy.....and the sales lady didn't let me use it in combination w/ something else going on that day (yeah right) so I ended up only getting about 8 items for $100 instead of my planned 20 things. :(

NEXT TIME, I would rather just put the stuff back and come back some other time when the savings were bigger. I didn't HAVE to spend that 20% coupon that day! UG!
