    And I need some major consoling!! It was all I could do last night to sleep it made me so mad!!
    I was a Lowes at 9:30 last night, it was about my 7th trip and I was tired, kiddo was tired, and I felt rushed and unorganized. Long story short, I forgot to split up my orders in to multiples of four (I had 20 kid cuisines, 6 shout, 6 edwards pie, 6 trix yogurt, and some other stuff). I split it up into batches of 20 but completely forgot that they will not triple more than 4 of the same coupon. When the total came to $20 I thought that was a little high but thought maybe I had miscalculated...As I was walking out of the store I realized what I had done! It was so late and kiddo was so tired I couldnt bear making her stay any longer...I ended up losing around $15 +..I was absolutely devistated the whole way home!!! :cry:
    So, do you think there is anything I can do about it? Can I please have sympathy hugs??
    Is it really sad that this has me so distraught?

    Well in a desperate attempt to regain confidence, I called the Lowes I went to. I explained that it was my fault but that I was devistated! The woman told me to bring my receipts in and as long as it was not an incredible amount they would probably issue me a gift card...at last I may sleep tonight!

    Great Idea Kaci on the support group!!

    Here comes a big cyberhug right at ya................. BAM! Did you get it??

    What did they do when you brought back the receipts? That is amazing that they would give you a gift card.

    We have all done things in the checkout line that we live to regret the next morning 8) :shock: :lol: but sounds like you may have redeemed yourself after all.

    Hey- you always have tomorrow to try again!
