They are doing it on purpose!!

I had another two cashiers try to "miss" one of my coupons!! For big dollar amounts... I think that the local stores managers must be telling the cashiers to see if they can "accidentally on purpose" forget to put in a coupon or two and see if the customers even see the mistakes!! I don't know if I should call corporate or not - I've made a few calls to complain in the last month or so and I know that they have a list of what your previous calls were about... I don't want to be the one that is always complaining but this is unbelievable that they are doing this!!

On a lighter note, so my blogs aren't always about shopping, I love reading and thought you might enjoy seeing what I've been reading!!

I found a really neat blog today - lots of fun and she's a good writer:

I have a few others that I really enjoy that aren't part of the saving money deal that my blog is starting to go towards.

Here's another one: http://katemcdonald.wordpress.com She hasn't blogged in awhile but she's a great writer (& her husbands a great singer!)

Some one else that is having the same "missing" coupons and she has an interesting page! http://twistedlisa.blogspot.com/

Watch the cashiers

I know to watch the cashiers and to make sure that I get credit for each coupon but somehow I didn't get credit for one of my $3 coupons! Boy that makes me mad cas cvs will get that money double - makes me not feel bad for them in the least for the awesome deals I get!! I can't go back and say "Hey you didn't take off my $3 dollar coupon." They won't believe me but I know what coupons I had and as I look back over my receipt (I knew at the time it was costing too much - why didn't I question it then?!?) I found the problem. I wish that their system put the coupons in the receipt better (so you could tell what each coupon was for exactly).

Oh well lesson learned. I'm off today to try to make up for it. Got 4 different transactions planned and hopefully they don't give me grief about the 3/15 coupon and they have all the product that I want and need!!

Got tons of stuff last nite at CVS

Sorry no pix but I got last nite for the end of the July 6th-12th week:
4 Dawn's
3 Olay's
1 Gillette Wash
1 Toothpaste
1 pantyliner
1 suncare aloe
2 Pert shampoos
1 suncare lotion
1 small box Honey Oats bars
1 cleanser wipes
1 Purina beggin strips bag (I think the cashier didn't use my $1 off on this - it was in my bag when I got home but I used the CVS email one for $2 off)

all for 5.03 oop - I should have gotten a $10 Olay ECB but it didn't print out. I've noticed that a lot of people have been commenting around the net that the ECB's and their cards are not matching up! Be on the look out for that! Check your bucks before you leave and call CVS if you didn't get your bucks or you got/ get the wrong persons bucks!! or CRT!

I'll definitely be calling to get my Olay bucks - I did notice that there was a weird dollar amount on my Olay products (that I shouldn't have had) that happened between 9pm and 9:30pm last nite - between two transactions. Hopefully they get their computers figured out!!

Need Coupons!

I've got family that lives in California and one sister sent me some coupons about a month ago - she's had a big month in between but I sure wish some of my other siblings or relatives would send me some of those really good coupons that they have out in the LA area!!! We get the sucky ones here - I even get the paper from Indianapolis and they still don't have as good of q's as the CA papers!!

So if any of my family reads this - this is your reminder to drop the coupon flyers in the mail to me... you don't use them anyways - you're just gonna throw them away. Send them to me - I could use them!! :-))

Walgreen's Today $5/$20 coupon

http://www.walgreens.com/hotbuys/default.jsp is the link for the 5/20 coupon just good for today. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with mine cas I had already gone to wag's on Tuesday and got the Hellman's mayo and 2 bags of Bliss. Paid around $6 for it, had 2 coupons for $1 each for the Bliss and the monthly coupon had a $1 for buying 2 bags and then I also had a small .35 cent q for the mayo which was on sale for $2.99 (the cheapest it is around here). So the Bliss was a great deal and the mayo was a good deal... but if I had of known that they were coming out with this q I could have looked for other deals and worked something out for a really great deal with the 5/20 q!!!

Bummed about Oral B stages

I thought that the Oral B stages toothbrushes would be considered an Oral B toothbrush.... seems to me that they are. Well I did call CVS and we'll see if they give me the ecb's! I was bummed that I didn't get the ecb's cas I used a bogo coupon to get the toothbrushes and I hate losing a good coupon to a silly mistake!
