no coupons!

I had to run out to the store yesterday to pick up a few last minute ingredients for our last minute dinner plans with family.  I checked, no coupons for any item that we needed.  Mushrooms - fresh, cherry tomatoes, sweet onions, and bell peppers.  I have yet to find any coupon that says, "Onions, buy one get one free with this coupon."  I know, there are always the "10 for 10 deals" but there were none of those near us right now.  I nearly stuttered out a protest when I saw the total and realized that it would not go down.  After just 3 coupon filled grocery trips, my first without coupons was in fact painful.
