CVS 3/27/11

That's my kiddo in the pic. He sees a camera and can't resist jumping in from of it. :)

One other thing the cashier said that they received an email stating that they may not take printable coupons. She still took mine but she was just letting me know and she was impressed with the transaction.

Walgreens 3/27

I wasn't going to stop by Wags today but I was coming back from CVS and the security guard at our weekend condo was out on patrol and I didn't have my access card to get in. I called my hubby but he was still asleep and didn't answer his phone. So I headed to wags and hoped the guard would be back when I returned (he was). I was excited because I've been wanting to purchase a USB and I finally did. I did buy a lot of stuff that I didn't have coupons for but they were for items we use. I did spend all of my $17 in RR and I'm now only left with $1RR. I'm still excited about my purchase because I was able to stock up on Centrum vitamins that my hubby takes and only spent just over $7OOP.

Transaction #1 3 Listerine whitening clearance $1.75 -Wags in ad Q $2 (adjusted down to $5.25 for the 3) I received overage from the $1.50/3 MQ and the cashier scanned a $2MQ from the catalina that printed out. ($3.50 in overage and no beeps from the Q's)

Transaction #2

Duracell 4GB USB clearance 7.49

2 Listerine clearance 1.75ea - $2 Walgreens in ad Q (adjusted down to 3.50) - $2MQ printed from catalina.

Paid with my $4RR from transaction 1 and $1.03 OOP.

I received a $1 RR from P&G so i assume it was for buying the USB. Now I only have $1RR instead of the $17RR I started with, but I'm happy because I purchased items that I needed (vitamins (bought just enough that they would be used before they expire) , plastic cutlery (i use these for work because often times if i send our silverware it doesn't come back home) and wanted (USB) with only about $7OOP.
