Took the PITA with me (against my better judgment), so the fact that I scored any deals at all is news worthy…

Stopped off first at Wags, since the PF Chang was on sale 2/$14 (!) with a $4 rr.  Used the $2/1 mfr coupon from 9/12 rp (exp. 12/05) and paid with a bunch of rrs (used the scented candy cane pens for filler).  Total: $13.45 OOP and got back $16 in rrs.

Then off to CVS, where I read on MUM that the magic coupon machine was spitting out $2.50/1 Planters almonds, which are, coincidentally, on sale for 2/$5.00!  Pulled into the parking lot of the newest CVS (Ogden & Naper Blvd) and was amazed at how full it was.  Well, good for you, I thought…  then I opened the door.  Wall to wall pre-teen girls and boys – at least 100!  Loud, nasty music (OK, shoot me, I’m old).  Turns out that B96 was set up and was having drawings for, among other things, Justin Bieber tickets.  Well, the PITA was majorly pissed that I didn’t want to stay (hourly drawings and you have to be present) and needed an attitude adjustment – swelling should go down by school tomorrow). OOP was 0

Target for the few things I had coupons ON ME for.  So this means I’ll head on over there for all the gift card stuff tomorrow morning  without the PITA!!!  woot!  woot!!  The Hungry Hippo traveling games are not in the regular game section, but in a special stocking stuffers section along the back wall in the “D” section.   Target OOP was $1.66 (don’t forget to claim the .05 credit for every bag you bring and use).

One of the things I wanted to pick up was the Ponds cleansing cloths for the $5 gc.  I took a picture of the endcap where the Vaseline and Ponds were located, since you’ll never find these with regular items!  That would make it too easy.  These deals involve stacking Target and mfr coupons, so it’s a .62 MM on each set of 2.  I’ll pick up a bunch tomorrow morning and post the exact coupons.
