Walgreens and CVS shopping



Walgreens



Sunday Shopping:

I went out early Sunday and got all the deals I could. It seems that we have lots more deal seekers lately. You have to get out early on Sunday to grab the deals. Today is Tuesday and it is  now very hard to find several of these deals! I followed my best deals post HERE to get ready for my shop. I check online to see what is hot. I found out that the Ritz crackerfuls were MIA and that Walgreens was substituting other crackers, so that is why I bought some Wheat Thins. You might wonder why I bought the Charmin and the Bounty. While checking one of my favorite forums, I found out that these items were sale priced and I had to grab some! (Charmin-$1.59 and Bounty $2.59!!)



CVS
I grabbed the deals I posted HERE and walked away spending very little OOP. A $5 EB spit out of the coupon spitter outer for spending on beauty products, so I used that today to buy all of this.



Visiting Walmart on Memorial Day

This was not really the highlight of my day-we spent 2 1/2 hours at Walmart waiting for my oil to be changed! The plus side to this was that I went bargain shopping(imagine that!)-I spent $30 on $66 worth of groceries. Not too bad. I was happy to find some wine tags with coupons for $3 off meat wyb a Bolner's seasoning(I think this is a Texas thing). See my nice briskets? On sale for $1.78 a pound and totalling about $16 each. I paid less than the sum of the 2 briskets for everything!!! I actually did 3 transactions to purchase my goodies so I could use up my $1 off Ivory soap coupons expiring 5/31 and to buy 2 briskets with the $3 off coupons (limit 1 per consumer). I bought the cheapest spices I could find- $0.52(mexican oregano-good in posole!) and $0.72(purchased comino-I use this alot). I used my last moneymaker Similac coupon.

Out of Touch

I don't know if I'll have internet tonight, so I thought I would just write a few quick thoughts. We didn't have cable or the internet last night. But, Monday is our Dancing with the Stars night and it is Darlin Dan's wrestling night and the Bachelorette is starting tonight and................we had to go to plan B after Darlin got off the phone with the cable company and they said they were working on the problem.
          First, we had a VERY quiet spaghetti and meatballs dinner. We chit chatted without the background noise of the news or Wheel of Fortune. Then, we decided to put in a DVD. I clipped coupons while we were watching it. After the movie, I washed dishes and cleaned out the fridge. Darlin Dan went upstairs and played some computer games that didn't need the internet. I joined him after I finished with the kitchen. I checked the DVR and suggested watching the last episode of Gray's Anatomy. I didn't even fast forward through the commercials. After this, it was only about 9:00 and so we watched some saved "Big Bang Theory" episodes. We just love this show. We just chuckle and down right belly laugh throughout the whole show.
        The point is, it  occurred to me that we are VERY addicted to evening TV.  It is that time of the day that we unwind with each other and our most favorite shows.  We pay alot of money for our cable/internet/phone service-and I mean alot! The sad part of the cable situation is that just about everything we watch is on the local channels and we don't even know if we can get reception without cable.  What is wrong with this picture-or lack of a picture is more like it!!
       I made another call to the cable company today and they are coming out this afternoon to check out the problem. They did say other people on our street are having the same problem. I told them that I  missed Dancing with the Stars last night and tonight is the finale! I really need my cable!! Oh no, and the Biggest Loser is on tonight too!!

How To Impress Your Husband

This wasn't my best shop by any means and  I even spent about $14 on a GC for this, but this purchase inspired my Darlin Dan to state-"so you actually only paid for the hot wing appetizers?"
Darlin Dan accompanied me to HEB yesterday evening because we "NEEDED"  ice cream, and some of HEB yellow coupon deals were expiring on 5/17, so I cooked this plan-why not buy the Tyson Anyteasers and get the Breyer's ice cream free? I had a manufacturer's coupon for the anyteasers and I had Darlin pick out what he wanted! By the way, we picked up some other great deals with man. coupons and HEB yellow coupons.
Here's what we bought:
2 Tyson's anyteasers $6.98 each
2 Breyer's Ice Cream $3.48 each
2 Garnier Fructis $2.96 each
3 Neut. bars $1.97 each

Home Sweet Home

South Padre Island, May 2011

We're home from our weekend get away to South Padre Island. Can you believe that I haven't shopped since Saturday? That it's May 2nd and I haven't stepped inside WAGS, CVS, Super T, or HEB?  However, 100% of my time was spent with my Darlin Dan, totally and completely enjoying our little weekend get away. We walked the beach by day and watched a 10K run on the beach by night. We ate some spectacular seafood and explored a little farmers market. I spent the entire 5 hour car ride reading  "She's Come Undone" out loud. Have you ever read out loud for 5 hours straight? My voice is a little hoarse!

Gotta love watching a sunrise at the beach! Isn't this just beautiful?

When we got back home, we got welcomed with 50 degree weather. Very, very unusual for San Antonio in May.

So tomorrow it's back to work and shopping. It's great to take a mini vacation from life, but there's no place like home.

What I learned at CVS

I went to CVS yesterday morning before we left for the beach. I grabbed some of the toothbrushes and blink eyedrops that were Eb deals for the week. The nice manager was there and informed me that  starting this week, the sales run from Sunday to FRIDAY.  The deals and sales will not work on Saturday. I had not heard this before! She showed me the sales flyer for this week, and sure enough it is circled through Friday. I haven't seen my local newspaper yet. I saw an ad scan on Amits blog and it doesn't have Friday circled on the calendar. I'm thinking this is a regional thing.
