EPIC FAIL

So tonight we realized that we had a coupon that ran out at the end of the month and being the tightwads that we are,  we rationalize that we must jump into the car and go out to dinner to use this coupon.  Now, would it have saved more money to just stay home?  Well yes it would!  But no, we must use this coupon!  Now, in case you didn't know, we are penny pinchers to the extreme.  We buy on the clearance rack and then use a coupon and that is the only way.  We never pay full price for things.  We are bargain shoppers and always are so proud of the deals that we come across.  If it isn't a deal, we don't buy it.  So anyway, we take the girls and go out to a nice dinner at Perkins in Milan.  This was a buy one entree get another free.  Good deal right?  So we eat and laugh and enjoy our meal and have a wonderful evening.  Until... we get our bill.. and I pull out the coupon.. and read the very small print that says that it is only good for one person per one table.  YIKES!  And we have just bought 4 adult entrees thinking we are getting 2 of them free!  Mike and I look at each other with a look of dread and that sickening feeling fills our gut... Suddenly, the meal wasn't quite so good.  We fuss at ourselves, fuss at each other, fret over our predicament, try to find a way out.. and realize we must bite the bullet and learn from our mistake.. as hard as it is.. So we sit there a minute and gather ourselves and decide it is time to face the music, pay the bill and get out of there!  Mike is at the cashiers stand paying and I am leaned over the counter,  just sick about the whole thing.. and when I think it can't get any worse Mikayla says "Look at that sign Mom!  Adeline could have eaten free!  Kids 12 and under,  Monday thru Friday eats free!"  Should I scream now?????  EEEEKKKKK!!!!!!!  Yep, EPIC FAIL, as my kids would say!  Oh, how I will read the small print better in the future!
