CVS

I didn't want to get out of bed this morning, and debated on whether I wanted to go buy my papers today, or try to work them into deals tomorrow. I wanted to try to figure out shopping deals even less, so I decided it'd be easier to just buy the papers outright.

I went online to look at the coupon preview to see how many papers I wanted to buy, but then I got distracted looking at the CVS sale, and never did look at the coupon preview. Since it's P&G week, I went ahead and got 10.

In the meantime, I saw there was a dental-stuff deal coming up next week with coupons expring today, and there were new $3/$15, $4/$20, $5/$30 CVS coupons. I also hadn't done last week's deals, and knew I had ECBs expiring in a few days, so figured I better get me to CVS today.

First CVS I went to I knew started tomorrow's deals early, today. (If you don't know, check the price of something you know will be on sale next week on the red scanner machine. If it rings up next week's sale price, then the ad has started early.)
But they didn't have much of a selection for the Dental-stuff deal. The ad says Crest Pro-health 1 liter, but apparently that doesn't include the Night stuff. They very nicely adjusted the price to the $3.99 sale price, but it didn't count towards my total for the ECBs. So instead of $20.94, it shows I spent $16.95, and instead of $10.00 ECB, I got $5.00.

I tried to tell her I was supposed to have ECBs for the one she adjusted, but she insisted you only get $5.00 for any amount spent over $10.00.

So, I got to go back and exchange the bottle I got for a correct bottle. Hopefully I'll be able to find one in stock somewhere.

*I had $15.98 ECBs to spend and needed some milk, and wanted some candy. I had it figured (2) candys, but then refigured and needed (3) candys. When I went to checkout, the .99 cent candy was ringing up .88, so I had to grab another one. Had I known that, I woulda gotten (1) candy and a 12-pack of Cokes instead :-(
