Appeared to be the same size as normal for me. Oh well, I like looking at the moon anyway.
no one would notice the size difference, however, you should have easily been able to tell the difference in brightness.

You will notice that all the "supermoon" photos on news outlets are when the moon is on the horizon and visible next to trees, buildings etc. Its an illusion. It looks the most impressive.
The moon is appearing 14% larger I believe? But this is 14% larger than when the moon is at its farthest point. It hasn't just become 14% larger overnight. So compared to a few days ago it isn't visibly that much larger at all.
Glaucus' post demonstrates well.

Worth watching this as it will answer your questions:
moon always looks bigger on the horizon, even though its not.
