Whenever you break out of your normal routine and shop a different location, it’s usually a bust.  Case in point today at another Target.  First they had only a few packs of the Cesar treats (stacking the coupons does equal free), which is weird, since the deal started at least ten days ago, so plenty of time to restock.  Then I get a cashier who has to scrutinize every friggin coupon.  every.  one.  Here’s a flash from the cape people:  “If you are buying multiple items, exactly the same, there is no need to study each coupon and then exclaim that that one is alright.  It’s a given.

Next waste of time was at Ultra.  They apologized for not having the Purex 3 in 1 sale packs (never got them in from warehouse) and gave me a rain check. Driving over for free Kitten Chow and two rolls of ghastly tp is a waste of time, although cs was very nice.  And it’s not their fault the warehouse screwed up.

Then the CVS  (in Wheaton on Roosevelt/Blanchard) on the way home had the same lone bottle of Sobe that had been there on Sunday.  However, they did have the Crest Pro-Health Enamel Shield on the clearance counter as you come in for either $1.34 or $1.45 (two prices, both 440 ml size).  No coupons out there, but if you need mouthwash, it’s a pretty decent price.  There were probably 5 or 6 that I saw on top, maybe more underneath the pile.
