CVS

The Finish and Air Wick were in the back of the store on end caps; none on the shelf in their regular space, so I was about to leave the store – pissed!  Make sure you ask someone if you don’t see what you need.

The items in the picture are two identical transactions:  1 Finish, 3 Air Wick Freshmatic, used a $5 ecb, a .50 CVS coupon from the magic coupon machine, 1 $2.25 Finish coupon and 3 $4 Air Wick coupons.  OOP was $2.74 and got back $10 in ecbs.  They were out of Maalox, so I’ll wait until later on in the week or hit another CVS.

Wags:

Ran four transactions, combined in this picture:  4 Special K’s; 3 cartons of eggs; 4 Go! Kids vitamins; 4 Sinex.  You can imagine the madhouse as it was the Grand Opening celebration.  I used a rain check and $16 in Sinex coupons, 2 Kellogg’s Special K BOGO coupons; 3 of the $3/10 wags coupons; $18.50 in RRs.  Got back $30 in RRs.  Since there were no mfr coupons for either the eggs or vitamins, I was able to use those items as “fillers” so I could pay down my OOP.  Actual OOP was $8.29, but since one of the $3/10 coupons wasn’t entered, I’ll stop by later in the week with my receipt and get back my $3 and tax.  Normally you can’t return to Wags with a coupon after the fact, but since this is a Wags coupon available on the display, it was obviously an error on their part, so see no problems ahead.
