Target Trip FAIL!

So hubs, Tot, and I ventured out to Target yesterday morning, amongst a handful of other destinations.  While there, I saw a few great clearance items, including a bottle of Tide stain lift (?), a Bounce Dryer Bar, as well as a mechanical Oral B toothbrush — each for two dollars and some change.  Naturally, I have coupons for ALL of these items in my handy-dandy coupon binder.  

Which I conveniently left at home that morning!
 
ARGH!  Now, were these items things that I absolutely could not live without?  Of course not.  But the idea that I could have gotten them each for less than a dollar irks me terribly!  (Being a tad on the OCD side ensures that I have been stewing about this since yesterday morning, mind you.)
 
And I know what y’all are probably thinking: why didn’t I just return later that day with my coupons??  (And perish the thought of purchasing these items without coupons!!!)
1)  It wasn’t a Target that was nearby.
2)  I’m still not feeling quite so hot.  (Colds!  The gift that truly keeps on giving!!)

3)  We had other things to do.  And,
4)  Again, these were not items that were imperative for our survival.
 
Thus, I swallowed m’big girl pill and am trying to let it go.  “Trying” being the operative word.  …if only I could stop obsessing over these lost deals.  I just keep telling myself that someone else was able to get some great deals on these items this weekend.  (Or perhaps Tot and I can run out there tomorrow and see what’s still there…..?)
 
My saving grace has been finding cheap diapers earlier today.  Seriously, you can’t beat getting three “mega” packs of diapers for $12.02 (with tax).**This post may contain affiliate links.
