I forgot to get a new Woolies egift card @ 5% off and remembered just as I got to the store…'Too late!" she cried ;(
Damn! Cooda saved 60cents ;( sigh
What's your sob story and what helped you come to terms with your stupidity (lol) when you missed out on saving on something?
I have consumed a coupla low-carb Aldi beers (cheap cheap) to drown my sorrows since then…wink wink*

    Forgot to swipe woolies rewards card when buying eBay gift cards (which was the main point of buying it).. $40 gone

    Gift cards are non refundable too, so not reversible

      Worse would be having bought condoms, and then realising you had your freebie from OzBargin sitting in the drawer from 2 years back unused.

    My wife took me to a relatively expensive anniversary lunch because she had an entertainment book voucher on her phone app.

    She remembered once we got home.

    Not happy, Jan.

    I've managed to screw up a couple of times using the Amex rewards so I couldn't apply the cashback.

    It's not much, but every time you say, "I'll fill up tomorrow" and the price jumps 20 cents.

    :(

      Think of all the exercise you'll get from walking and cycling everywhere.

    The continual lowering of the price of the 65N7 is making me not want to come to ozbargain.

    When you sell shares for 30% gain -you start doing air punches but they go up 10 fold 3 years later
