I am SO pissed right now. Mostly at myself for not reading closely, but also at the store. This week’s store ad had a deal: $3 back for every $15 spent on certain Huggies products. AWESOME! I had coupons for EVERYTHING (diapers, wipes, swim diapers, pull ups, etc.) so thought this would be a good time to stock up. So I spent probably 15 minutes or more in the section making sure I had all the right stuff for coupons and making sure I had just enough product (dollarwise) to get the most money back from the $3 deal. I had like $75 worth of products, which meant $15 credit. Plus my about $15 in coupons meant I was getting a really good deal.
So I check out and give the baggers directions (as usual) and am heading towards the car looking at my receipt and first thing I see is I didn’t get credit for my four bags. It’s only 20c, but it happens WAY more often than not, and it’s just really irritating. Then I notice that I only got $3 credit for my Huggies purchases. |-| So I pull out the ad—and yep, in teeny tiny print it says “One credit per transaction.” Stupid store being tricky…they rarely have limits like this.

Of course, I could return it all, but then there would be confusion with the coupons I used which I wouldn’t get back (or would have to stand there and fight with them for longer that it would be worth). And it would have been REALLY easy (had I gotten it right and paid attention) to ring up one box of diapers with a coupon, then another box of diapers with a coupon, etc. UGH.
>:XX
It’s only $12…but IT’S $12! And I only bought all that shit because of the deal (plus my coupons). I really don’t need 300 diapers at the moment. Or six containers of wipes that I really only buy for the plastic container, since we get our wipes from Costco.
>:XX
So I’m fuming at myself the entire way home, get home, unload the car, and >:XX why does not one >:XX bagger EVER know how to bag groceries? I told them to put all the light but big stuff (diapers, wipes) in the big IKEA bag and they got it half right. Refrigerated stuff, which was all on the belt together, got separated into two different bags (like, I bought 4 of one thing…3 were in one bag and 1 was in another). UGH. Swear to god, from now on I might just bag the stuff myself because it annoys me so much. And then, of course, instead of just not using one bag, they put one pack of swim diapers in it. REALLY? Just because I have the bag there doesn’t meant you have to use it if you don’t need it. And eggs, which are always the last to get bagged (at least they get that right)—they put those in a plastic bag. WHY?!?!?!?!? Just set them on top of one of the >:XX bags that is right there.
Breathe.
Breathe.
This is apparently what I get for trying to get my shopping done first thing in the morning. I usually go in the afternoon when I’m much more alert.
