[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 443012, member: 84"] What Star said. Take it back if you're really not going to use it and you didn't get the deal you were aiming for. No sense in wasting the money. I have issues with the math.........that is the part that actually can mess me up really bad, even WITH the calculator. So I'm [B]still avoiding[/B] the really complicated deals unless easy child maps them out for me word for word.......product name and how many, what coupon to use, in ad coupon if it has one, other products I need to buy, how many, their coupons, their in ad coupons if needed ect.....otheriwse? forget it. Doesn't make sense to me, I get lost in the process still. Usually, I write out my deals......I try to stick to ones I have coupons for. These deals are fairly simple. Buy X product, use this coupon for this much off, sometimes also an in store/ad coupon.....and rarely a drug store coupon booklet coupon too. (ok let me tell you that one took me at least 4 wks to learn....the stacking thing, especially at the drug stores because they have extra coupon books all over the store to pick up) I prefer buy this product use this coupon. lol But it doesn't always work out that way because IF you can stack, you save a LOT more. In truth.......I've nearly given up at least 3-4 times in frustration. It's definitely a learn as you go type thing. And honestly if it hadn't been for our super helpful walgreen employees I don't think easy child and I would have caught on as quickly as we did. Now? I'll go nose to nose with the most stubborn cashiers in the world to get my deal. I'll pull in the manager if needed. I try to be polite but I'm as stubborn as an ox and if I dig in my heels it won't be ME backing down. I double check my plans, I double check my coupons, I double check coupon policies, I go in prepared. Imagine..........and it wasn't that long ago when I dreaded getting in line behind a person with a stack of coupons and a cart load of stuff. :rofl: Not that I begrudged them their savings........but yeah.
