I'm feeling like a failure

I spent too much money OOP! I could not resist the WaGS coupon 5/25-
I pretty much planned out my purchase to a t and ended up paying $20.92 OOP and was SUPPOSED to get $26 back in RR's.............NOT-the RR machine jammed after $21 worth of RR's spit out! I was given $3.23 back in cash and because I did not realize I did not get a RR for the Benefiber, I lost out completely on that one.
I know that this is still a moneymaker of sorts. But, this challenge is about not spending cash OOP and I failed, miserably.
Since I got back some cash, I had OOP of $17.69. Since, I got back $21 in RRs, I made $3.31 more in RRs than what I spent in cash. Big deal, I still spent cash.
This 5/25 coupon sucks because it forces you to spend cash-unless you have a GC. I decided against using my $79 GC from Lowes. I haven't touched it yet. Maybe I should've and I wouldn't be feeling so down right now.

We all have days that we spend more OOP than we'd like. Keep your chin up and remember that you can use that $21 in RR to buy groceries to help save money there. My store has lots of grocery items so hopefully you can find something there.

That's a very good idea.
