Default totally bummed..

So I went tonight specifically for the Almay deal. Went to the front register and it didn't even ring up 50% off let alone BOGO. So I saw my favorite cashier at cosmetics and said I would go over there and have her help me. Well it rang up this time for the 50%. Not what I was hoping for...spent almost $6 oop and lost $7RR on the whole deal. I don't/haven't bought makeup FOREVER and didn't want to spend this kind of money on it, but I put that poor girl through the ringer trying to figure it all out that I didn't want to take anymore time figuring it out. Anyways I got makeup...but spent ALLOT more then I wanted to.

If its more than you wanted to spend oop, then just return it. No sense in keeping something you aren't happy with ether product wise, or price wise.
My opinion

Default Thinking about it.

I was thinking about returning some of the stuff, and then realized that my first transaction's receipt is not in my bag, so it must be at the store. Either way I think I will just gripe a little but just hope my next trip is even better to make up for it Thanks for the suggestion though.

well first trans.
2-mascaras 1-$7.99 1-$6.99 -$8-$3.50 (only rang up B1G1 50%)
1-PB foundation $9.99 1-PB eyeshadow $7.49 (only rang up B!G! 50%)-$3.75=
$17.24+tax
so I used my $12RR that I had from last week, plus $6 something oop
got 10RR and 5RR
tried to roll it again for the foundation and eyeshadow, wouldn't take the RR's and wouldn't get RR's from it, so cancelled that.
bought 2 more masc. $3.50+ tax and wanted to use the 5RR so I had to get some fillers, ended up spending another $1 oop and now have 10RR.
Hope that wasn't too confusing, but I was a little thrown when it wasn't the BOGO, oh well

I kinda feel your pain... I bought 4 more one coat mascaras, and not paying attention I mixed the sizes/types. The $4 Q only took off for 3 of them, so I had to pay $4.00 for the 4. Not saying that's a bad price, but when you think something will be free and it's not, it's not a nice surprise.

Yeah, the 1st store I stopped at it was B1G1 50% off. My OOP was 15. something. It should have been lower as I wasn't getting the extra 4.00off, so for 2 mascaras I only got 4.00 off. So, after I got my 15RR I went to the store down the raod & it was BOGO. Do you have another store close by? If so, I would try that store. I noticed that the stores that are 24hr ones are the ones ringing BOGO 50%, instead of BOGO free.

I'm with you. The 2 RR deals worked fine for me, but I messed up on the mascara. It only took 1 $4 Q. I got 2 double packs, used 1 $2.5 RR and the $4 Q and paid .98. Not bad oop, but I lost my $2.50 RR. I almost took it back when I got home and noticed 8 other mascaras in my stockpile, but I get soooo many freebies at my WAGS, and they are so nice, I'm not bothering. Just more for the give-away pile.
