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

[KrispyKrittersUSA]

So, I had my $39 in RR, and had all of my Ragus and Skippy's all lined up to do 3 transactions, and get my $24 in RR back, and have a great shopping trip.

The kind young woman cashier said to me, "I'm sorry, you can't use any of these." I asked why, and she said, "Today is the 13th".

All of my RR expired on the 12th, I THOUGHT TODAY WAS THE 12TH!!!!

I truly thought today was the 12th, and I was so embarrassed, the store manager had to come over and void my transaction. I can't believe I let $40 worth of food go right out the window. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. $39 in RR expired!

I know that things could be worse in life, but I blew it big time. Don't let this happen to you!!! Mark that calendar, I wish I had.:sad:

So sorry! This has happened to me more than once and I always feel like kicking myself. I just try to focus on the next deal.

Thanks for the support, it just seemed to really hit a nerve today, I got really emotional about it. I feel so stupid. I am always so careful. I do need a hug!!!

That's awful! I'm so sorry this happened to you.

This has happened to me before. Especially with Catalina's that I get from Superfresh because I don't shop there often so it is easy for me to lose track of those. I just had a $4RR expire and (2) $1 Superfresh Catalina's.
Try not to get yourself too upset. I know it is easier said than done. There will be more amazing sales waiting for you.
We are human and we learn from our mistakes. I will let you in on a big mistake I made. I purchased $40 of the same coupon (200) in hopes of getting an abundance of this certain necessary product.
Well needless to say I didn't meet the deadline before the coupons expired. And I still had 100+ remaining. I had to throw all of them away. I will never get that many ever again.




HTH

Couponmom, that is terrible. I guess it stings, because we can really stretch our dollars into so much food, and times are tough lately, so it really is a necessity, not just a hobby. Well, I'm sure it won't be the last time, but hopefully not for a long time!

Aww, i am sorry that is sad. I would probably cry as well.

I feel your pain! But don't feel bad, it is easy to make that mistake.
