Can’t take advantage of the sale

Tweet

I went online to our local supermarket and saw that the Palmolive dish soap we use is on sale. A 32.5 fl oz container is $3.99 instead of $4.49, and there is also a $2 off coupon. Final cost is $1.99 plus tax. Then a 12-roll pack of Doubles Plus Bounty paper towels is $27.99 instead of $29.99, and there is also a $5 off coupon. Final cost is $22.99 plus tax. Both are great prices here so I sent hubby to the store to get them. The exact Bounty I wanted was nowhere to be found, which was a major bummer because usually it’s way more expensive. I wanted to stock up while it’s on sale. Palmolive was there so hubby got it. When he got home I looked at the receipt. It said Palmolive $3.99 and no coupon was taken off. I didn’t understand why as I clipped it online, which automatically puts it on the store card and then automatically redeems at the register when you scan the card or enter your phone number. Turns out hubby forgot to enter his phone number at checkout and the guy at the register didn’t ask him to do it either. That’s why $2 were not taken off. I was upset of course. The only reason I wanted him to get Palmolive was because it was on sale. I still have an unopened one in the pantry. If it were me I’d probably go back to the store and either try to get the $2 back or return the one he bought and buy it again, this time making sure the coupon was applied. Hubby, of course, won’t do such a thing. Today is the last day to use these coupons. I was gonna go to a different location of the supermarket and see if the Bounty I want is there but changed my mind. Even if it’s there I’d have to drag it home myself, which will be a big challenge as it’s very bulky. And hubby is going out after work so he won’t be able to pick me up. That’s that! Hopefully there will be another sale and coupons to use in the near future. I wish I had gone to the store with him. Then I would’ve made sure he entered his phone number so we could use the $2 off coupon. And maybe I’d have been able to find the Bounty I wanted, even though he said he checked everywhere and it wasn’t there.
