CVS and WAGS trip

*Traci, sorry for the confusion, I bought the Springfield paper inside CVS. I wanted to buy the KCStar, but it was sold out already. I moved, and I do not live anywhere near other vendors for papers like the KCStar or St.Louis Dispatch. So, I just got tons of Springfield papers without any good RP coupons:(


I don't do well at rolling ECBs when I can't find items and are hurried by having people with me:) So, this could have been a MM or broken even after ECBs, but I didn't ask for a raincheck on the children's throat coolers until after my last transaction, so I ended up spending money on my gift card:

Trans1
3 boxes SoyJoy bars $6ea
2 boxes CVS cotton swabs(BOGO 50%) $2.97/2-$3/any CVS printable=FREE+.03 overage

Trans2(this is the messed up, bad one:(...I added papers to make the difference for a $10/$50 since I was going to buy tons of KCStars today anyways...I just didn't get Gerber, Loreal, or Beechnut coupons...all which I'm looking for by the way )

ALWAYS ASK FOR A RAINCHECK! Today I scored because I had rainchecks from Arm and Hammer Essentials a couple weeks ago...there were BOGO peelies on them, so instead of 4 free, I got 8! I also wanted a Swiffer WetJet for our new floors(not very frugal...but pretty handy:)) So, I blew ECBs on it.

Last trip of 2008

We had expiring checks from WIC and after moving milk and yogurt were pretty essential on Christmas Eve! So we headed off to our closest grocery destination to our new house...Walmart! Dillons, Target, PriceCutter, HarterHouse, Walgreens, and even CVS are a bit of a drive now since we have to go through town....no longer do I have the pleasure of a 5 min. walk to WAGS, but we do have a nice place for a while:) Here's what I picked up(not including our 2 new lamps and welcome mat) This is counting as Jan. budget since it's so close to the end of the month.
