Coupon FAIL

Lately, and by lately I mean since Friday when we bought our new printer, I have been slightly obsessed with couponing. I was printing them off the internet and making stacks and piles and lists and planning my mass attack on Walmart. I even dreamed about coupons Saturday and Sunday night, blah, awful way to sleep. Anyways this morning I woke up EARLY. I had a huge list and it was the only time of day I could go so at 7 am I headed to Walmart (because they price match and I THOUGHT I could avoid going to 5 stores this way). I got to Walmart and realized I left my wallet at home. So mad!! I drove the 15 minutes home and then plowed my way through rush hour traffic to get back to the store. I had exactly one hour to get through the whole store or else Trevin (at home watching Addie) would be late for school. I planned on walking out of Walmart with 30 boxes of cereal all under $1 a box. FAIL. I walked out with no cereal. They didn't sell the size cereal that I thought was on sale. In my defense I saw it on a couponing blog, I didn't actually look at the ad. Lesson learned! I figured no big deal I'll just stop at Maceys on my way home to get the cereal. Ha, turns out the kind of cereal I had coupons for wasn't even on sale. So to make a long story short through out the day I ended up at 2 other grocery stores 1 of which I was successful in, the other had some weird store policy that wouldn't let me use my coupons. I didn't find out till after they had rung everything up. So yes my dreams and aspirations this weekend were all dashed in one day. But lots of lessons learned. The main one....couponing isn't my thing, I need a new hobby.
