CVS Bonus Time
June 27th, 2008. Filed under: Finance & Fitness Fridays.I went to CVS today and made out like a bandit. I’m not going to tell you about all the super bargains I got. You can read about the CVS bargains at Coupon Cravings, “Cent”sible Sawyer and Deal Seeking Mom. I’m going to tell you about a very patient young man at the check out. He rang up all my purchases and coupons, but missed my extra bucks coupon and two other CVS coupons. He had to void the whole thing and ring it all up again. By the time he realized he had missed those coupons, the transaction had already gone onto my debit card. When the receipt printed out, he tore off all the extra bucks coupons and handed them to me. After that was all voided and put through the cash register a second time, another batch of extra bucks coupons printed out. I ended up with a total of $38.98 of EB’s. I spent $38.19. That means CVS paid me 79 cents to take home a bunch of their stuff. I don’t like to shop, but I think shopping would be a whole lot more tolerable if everyone paid me to take stuff home.

Now thats my kind of shopping! I love CVS Not that I like shopping nope.
In fact I’ve been procrastinating shopping now for so long
that I was able to completely empy my big freezer and
defrost it 🙂 . My family thinks we are all out of food because
the big food box is empty. The other one (fridge) is almost empty too
but I think I can squeeze a few more meals
out of my pantry…. maybe I won’t have to go shopping
today. Maybe boys will clean house while I am shopping….
If that happens I’m going out and buying a lotto ticket….
sorry for rambeling on your page Nancy
I’ll shut up now and go get more coffee

I used to be able to procrasinate for two or three weeks before Consumer Man moved in. As long as I had something to put in my coffee, I was good to go. But eventually I ran out of half and half and the two back up tins of evaporated milk and had to make the grocery run. It doesn’t work that way now. Consumer Man thinks he needs fresh fruit all the time. I managed to squeeze two weeks before I had to go buy more. I stockpiled a bunch of fruit in the fridge drawers and brought a little out at a time for the fruit bowl. Then he figured it out and wiped out everything in the drawer, including my little apple. ;-D
