I applied for the gov coupon but when I checked the gov site it said it had been sent and deactivated already

I was waiting and waiting for it and never did get it

so i appealed on the site for a new coupon, but didn't want to wait.
paid the full price.

But I did buy at stores that have easy return policies and I made sure I didn't toss the receipt

.
I guess we will just wait til we have to change over -plus there's a better chance of them improving the products by then.
