Are you tired of going into stores at the Christmas holiday and the employees cannot say Merry Christmas? Well take a stand with the AFA (American Family Associtaion) by purchasing buttons to wear through the Christmas season. They say "It is ok to say Merry Christmas". You can find info on them with the link below.

CVS and Wags

OK, as usual, I got up to the stores only to discover some of the things I though I was going to get are either out of stock or a much higher price than others have been finding. So, I did come up iwth a few things. That is why I am reluctant to post something until I have tried it myself, I don't want to give out info only to have to go back and correct it. Anyway, I went to the CVS that I don't usually go to and of course I had problems. First of they don't accept any internet coupons no exceptions- I knew this going in so I didn't bring any to use. Secondly if it doesn't scan or if it beeps in error they will not override regardless- even if the picture clearly shows the item you are purchasing (which is what happened tonight so I had her remove the items from my purchase). Third, I have rarely seen any of them smile- it is weird. The other CVS just a little farther away is so different a whole different atmosphere. I like going to that one but I really though, ok it is later in the evening maybe it will be better. Was I wrong- oh well I will make sure and go to the other one from now on.


Here are the transactions:

Wags
Trans 1

4 2 liter Dr Peppers (4/$5)
2 Crest White Expressions (2/$6)
3 Kotex (3/$9)

Coupons:
(3) -1 Kotex
(2) -1 Crest
10RR

Total:4.27 OOP - I was going to use my 4.50RR but the lady would not adjust down and I was at the photo counter and of couse they had nothing in the dollar range with in sight plus there was a long line but I did recieve 2RR from the Crest, 2RR from the Dr Pepper, and 3RR from the Kotex. I also had notice the filter water pitchers were on sale for 7.99 (reg 9.99) and I did get the filter free after rebate last month so I decided to use RR to get a pitcher.

Trans 2

1 Walgreen's water pitcher (7.99)
1 Caramel (.33)

Coupons
4.50RR
3RR
Total OOP:.89

I know these these transactions did not go exactly as planned and I spent more ECBs then I earned but overall the trips were decent. I am still looking for the Reinventing Beauty Book- the lady had said they were out a few days after they got them so I am hoping they will get more. She did show me where to look for them at though so I know they exist!

Dunkin Donuts

Ok, I have to admit I am a sucker for Dunkin Donuts (the actual donuts not the coffee). I love a good choclate frosting filled powdered sugar covered donut. I can get them but I have to drive about an hour away.
I am not a coffee drinker and never have been, but if you are and live in the Dallas, Tx area, I just got an email saying they were giving away free med hot or iced coffees on Mondays in October. Also they advertised the 99 cent latte on weekdays from 2-5pm (as a note they are having for a limited time a pumpkin latte or you can pick from your other favorite flavors). Unfortunately no donut coupons or I would so be there!
My husband is the Krispy Kreme fanatic but me a good Dunkin Donut is what a real donut tastes like. Ok, maybe I am a bit silly but I grew up with Dunkin Donuts and a 24hr one at that. Then they all started disappearing but there was still one I could get to. Then I moved and no more, but one night on the way to Awanas I spied another one and my heart was happy again! However that is before we changed churches when we moved. So I do not drive that far to church anymore but every now and then I will go by and pick up a couple dozen donuts.

My son's bday party was today so on our way home we decided to run into Target to get something for dinner. I did fairly well.

Total : 37.54 OOP and recieved a $5 gift card. I will use this later this week to get the vitamin water deal - Buy 10 at 10/10 get a $5 giftcard. So I will purchase 10 and pay $5 OOP and get another giftcard! Don't forget to check www.target.com for printable coupons that you can combine with the MQs! It makes for some awesome deals! Also I got from a CVS tearpad coupons for Buy 6 vitamin waters get 3 Powerade 32oz free so you could get 10 vitamin water and 3 powerade for 5 bucks! or you could buy 30 vitamin water and 15 powerades for 30 bucks and get 3 $5 giftcards which makes it just $15 for a total 45 bottles! ( I only have four coupons so I am not sure if I am going to do that one or not- I would have to get another coupon and that really is alot. But if you drink a lot of it it is a really good deal.

OK, I went back today- mainly to try out the vitamin water deal and make sure they would take the coupon- it did have a CVS logo on the front but it was a MQ. And, they did take it. It beeped saying the items were not there so she reread the coupon and overrided the computer.Here is what I did:

Trans:
1 15ct glow bracelets (impulse buy for the three yr old)
10 vitamin waters(10/10)
3 powerade (.89 ea total of 2.67)

Coupons:
Buy 6 get 3 Powerade free - 2.67
$5 gc from the purina purchase

Total: 6.50 and recieved another $5 GC!

WAGS 10/12

So I decided to make a quick run into Walgreens today to get some of the dimatap promotion- Buy 3 at 3.99 ea and get 10RR. Since I had no RR left from last week I had to use OOP money
:-( Oh, well. Here is the transaction below.
I will be posting Wags and CVS deals as soon as I make it back so keep checking back to see what great deals I can get. BTW make sure and check out my Target section- they are having some pretty good deals this week as well.

Trans 1
3 Dimatap (3.99 ea)

Coupons:
(3) -2 off Dimatap printable

Total: 5.97 OOP but recieved a $10 RR to use next time!!! I will use it later this week with the soda deal and still looking into the rest. :-) OK, I goofed here- I totally forgot about the 4.50 RR I got last night on the Listerine! I could have had a better deal- I hate it when I do that :-( Well, now I have 14.50 in RR and a few more things to buy before I submit my rebate. The good news is that I am up to about 75 dollars on the rebate if not closer to 80!
