I love CVS


I got all of these items for less than $8.50 after tax.

That's 4 bottles of laundry detergent (and you better believe I grabbed almost every "20% more" size Purex on the shelf), some Easter candy to put away (I will not eat it before Easter... I will not eat it before Easter...), and 3 new eyeliners.

Those were an unexpected surprise; I decided to use a coupon for $7 off any Physician's Formula cosmetics purchase that printed on one of my previous receipts. I just grabbed a $7.49 package of eyeliner (since I lose or dry out or break or otherwise use up eyeliner much more often than other cosmetics. You'd think I was Cleopatra or Tammy Faye... anyway...) When the clerk scanned it, the price was $1.82. WHAT?! So I ran back and got two more to see if they did the same thing. One of them was even cheaper: $1.54! And the craziest part? Before I could head back and find something else to get me up to my $7 total, she scanned the coupon and it gave me my full $7 off.

$8.50 total

So, yeah, I was proud of myself. Proud enough to take a picture of random groceries.

Simple pleasures, right?

Emily~It was fun seeing you at Ridgedale yesterday. I so miss worshiping w/my kiddoes. This is random but one of the things I miss most when I travel is couponing. Crazy, I know, but just wanted you to know that you have a "sister" in the couponing world. Also, there is not a week that goes by that I don't hear a comment from Callen about one of your sweet girls.
