Rant: I bought a $15 grocery app subscription to save money and it did the opposite
I signed up for one of those apps that shows you coupons for your local store, thinking it would cut my bill... but I ended up buying extra stuff I saw on sale that I didn't need. My total was $20 higher than usual. Has anyone else had a plan to save backfire like that?
Honestly, that sounds like a win. You paid $15 and got an extra $20 worth of stuff you wanted. The app showed you good deals and you took them. That's just smart shopping ahead of time instead of needing it later.
Yeah, the "smart shopping ahead of time" part is key... I just buy what I know I'll use when I see a real discount. Saves that last-minute panic buying at full price later.
