Couponing Fail, Backwards Brag?

Ok so total couponing fail at WalMart today. Went to go use the Glade B1G1 but when I got there they would only let me use one coupon, but when I got to the aisle, Air Wick was on for $1 each! And Glade WITH the coupon would have been $1.50 each so I went with Air Wick :D
So today I grabbed:
6 x Air Wick room spray = $6
2 x Dawn dish soap = $3.94
1 x 10 Ivory soap = $3.78
after tax total = $15.37

So after all my planning for my first trip I didn't use a single coupon! But it still worked out really well! I'm on my iPod but I will post a pick of my very tiny stockpile start, lol.

Good try Stephanya. I do not think it was a coupon fail. When I started couponing, I did not have coupons for the things I needed to buy. I just looked through the flyers to find the best deals.

Lol, you have a good point, I've always been great at finding deals though. I called it a "coupon fail" because I had 11 coupons in my pocket and somehow didnt use a single one *eyeroll* lol. Hahaha poor Glade air fresheners coupons, they were out done.

I used the Glade 2 for 1 for their spring collection, they were on clearance at Walmart - Room Spray for $1.50 each, so I got 2 for $1.50. It took forever to find the Spring Collection though, thought they were all out.

You know what though...a different day and a different cashier and it would have worked perfectly! Try again!

Meh we have 6 air fresheners now and we live in an apartment so they will last ages.

Nah, that's not a coupon fail! This is a coupon fail... I was in Safeway last night picking up a few things and wanted to get the Breyers ice cream because it was B1G1 free and I had a $5 coupon. So I put 2 in my cart and finished my shopping, got home and realized I forgot to use the coupon! Doh!

Hahaha oh no! I did that at Extra Foods the other day. I bought 2 Advil and 2 Tylenol and for some reason only used one coupon per PAIR instead of one per EACH *facepalm*

A good excuse to buy more ice cream ;)
