Disappointing Loblaws Trip (post-it problems...)

I was so prepared for this weekend's great deals! Metro! Loblaws! No Frills! I was determined to hit them all...so last night I spent a good hour going through my coupons, making my lists, organizing them so I didn't have to rummage through my binder at the store...

In all that preparation, I didn't even think about what would happen next!

I had put post-its on each paper-clipped group of coupons for each store...well when I got to Loblaws this AM I went to give them my coupons and the cottonelle (insert, $1) the post-it had taken off the expiry date! They wouldn't accept it!!!

So sad...those cottonelle coupons are so valuable, darn it!

Beware the post-it all you organizers!

omg....what a shame.....good tip though! What a disappointment!

ahh that sucks....I have some if you want

What happened?

that really sucks... i don't use post it at all!! i hope you find all the other good deals you are looking for..

Huh?? :shrug:

Oh my gosh, that's too bad! Was it brandname Post-its (3M) or another brand?

This post moved to Rants, I believe!

That's so smart! I will do that next time, take out or my coupons that I'm planning to use and ziploc it!

And with all the coupons on the ziplock bags, heres one more good reason we need to buy them. lol

yes, I've had post-its ruin a couple too. They are way too sticky for our coupons!! lol

I bought some "zipper" bags from the $ store from the craft section. They're smaller than the sandwich bags and are perfect for coupons. There are a lot in the package and only cost $1.00.
I also use them to store craft materials.

I love the little coupon binders they have a dollarama.

I love the coupon binders that fit in my purse too!!! But the problem is I wanted to distinguish which coupons were for what store...maybe I could write with permanent marker on the separators in the binders...

anyways I am glad it isn't just me that has made this mistake :(

THANKS all!
