Shall we say, that my shopping trip didn't go as planned? I'd love to blame it on the store, but it was all due to my lack of details! The cereal was supposed to be 3/$7.00 get $1 Register Rewards back. I missed/forgot about the select varieties part! So you guessed it...I paid a little bit more and missed the $1 RR. And then, I forgot to show the store coupon for the paper towels! And I was hoping that my rebate gift card had been loaded from last month already, but it wasn't, so...more money out of pocket than I originally intended! Such is life!
