Sorry I’ve been out of touch.  Earlier today I stopped at CVS to use up an expiring ecb.  Ended up with the stuff in the picture for $7.  I use the shampoos for liquid soap, so the cheaper the better (hey, you can’t convince me that there’s a difference between SoftSoap and cheap shampoo!).  and the candy bars?  well, let’s just say I had a coupon and leave it at that…

Then I ran into Wags to get that $3/15 RR that’s been printing out for everyone.  Pick out the cheapest items you can find (scented votive candles for 6/$1), ring each one separately and you get an RR for each.  Picked out 3, went to the register and said “Ring them up separately.”  He reached under the counter and handed me three of the RRs which had been discarded!  Sweet!  I still took the candles though in one transaction (no RR), just cause they smelt so purty.

The cool rubber boots I got at Sears a couple of weeks ago turned out to be too large for the intended recipient, so trundled off to Oak Brook to exchange them, stopping at Wags along the way to check for….well, you know what (and the answer is nada, nothing, zip, zero, zilch).

Tomorrow is hit all the Wags in an easterly direction Day.  Wish me luck.

If I have time, I’ll drop by Target for some free (slight MM) Ponds towelettes and Vaseline lotion.  You combine the Target coupon (from their site) with the $1.50 coupon for Vaseline lotion from 11/14 R (Unilever insert) and get a $5 gift card.  Make sure you grab the bonus lotion (31.8 oz).  The Ponds towelettes is the bonus 40 ct size using the Target coupon (from their site) and here and here.  I read this yesterday on Totally Target and give her much thanks for same (also credit in the coupons).

Obviously I haven’t had time to work the above deal, but there’s no reason why it won’t work.  Don’t look for it in the ad; it’s an unadvertised gift card.

Been out most of the afternoon/evening at a strategic planning meeting for the next three years for a consolidated school district for special needs kids.  Very long, very interesting, very nice food.  what more can i say?
