Walgreens RR OT: Please don't make the same mistake I just did, I could just cry

(((hugs))) I've let a few RR's here and there exp b/c I hardly shop Wags...made me sick to my stomach to realize they expired.

eta -- I started writing the amounts on a calander that I keep on my desk next to the computer that I use to keep track of my ECBs too. Makes it much easier to see at a glance whats about to expire.

I lost $6 in RR last June and just found them last weekend in a jacket pocket.

Oh that is a great idea!

And thanks to all who offered the hugs and the condolences! It was just one of those days, but I can laugh about it now. It's a lesson learned, but it looks like I am not the only one that has had to learn it. Hugs to all!

No discussion of using expired RRs. WAG policy is that they do not accept expired coupons - 1 day or 1 year. Posting to the contrary on HCW will result in your post being deleted and infraction points may be issued.
TIA.

I would completely cry as well but you will make that amount back..think of all the overage you are getting using coupons for free items. Wish I could hug you!

Don't feel so bad, that happened to me previously with a $10 RR that was left in a sack. It was a month expired when I found it. :sad: I now make sure I put them in my wallet, so I get to spend them asap. I don't wait till they're about to expire since I don't make a lot of trips now. I feel your pain. You can make up for the loss in future deals, don't worry too much about it.

Aww..that just hurts!
Being forgetful happens when life is coming at you fast!
I would much prefer to choose being forgetful over the really stupid financial mistakes I've made, however! LOL!

But you know what, mistakes happen. You were just caught BHA (being human again)

i go to the car, take my rr's (out of bag or purse) and put them behind the other ones...that way the ones on top are the ones that expire the quickest...make a habit of looking thru them at least once a week so you dont forget anything...saturday night is a good time as sales start on sunday and the RR give you two weeks to use so more than likely you will have ones on sunday that expire...

I almost did the same thing this week. I had 21.00 in RR expiring on the 15th, which I planned on using this Sunday. I don't know what I was thinking. I'm glad I caught it before I lost it all but, I have to say, don't let it ruin your day. Think of all which you have gotten for FREE or the profits you made on a RR item you used a coupon for when purchasing. You will accumulate more in no time! That's the beauty of knowing the skills you now know. Remember when you didn't have a clue how to do any of the couponing you do now?
