Used to be that Wags held my heart because there just weren’t that many CVS stores around.  I know it’s different in some areas, but here?  You can spit in any direction and hit five or more Wags.  So the fact that there was a new CVS store opening 2.13 miles away made me think that, perhaps, my affections would shift.

CVS grand opening today.  No notices in mail, no inserts or notices in Trib, no emails, plenty of parking (not a good sign). No Oral B vitality toothbrushes (claimed 4 or 5 customers had taken them earlier).  Apparently no budgets for grand openings.  I did point out, quite sweetly, that if they would stop paying such large fines to the government there would be plenty of money left over. Did not get much of a response.  Only positive was the convenient location.  Got 4 of the battery toothbrushes.  Using two cards, spent $9.40 OOP and got back $8 ecb, which I can only use at CVS.

Wags a mile down the street…Mostly full parking lot.  Had the ZarBEE cough syrup (told you to print them before print limit reached!) and Nyquil/Dayquil Sinex (Sept. P&G $4 q, exp. 10/31) MMs.  ’nuff said.  Ran four transactions:  $18.90 OOP, got $39 in RRs, which I can use at Dominicks or Jewel.
