Note: I actually got another $10/$50 coupon, 4th one within a 2-month period, which I tried to use only to spend 2 hours at CVS and fail. Apparently the $4 off Air Wick and Hershey’s coupon can only be used once per transaction, which I only found out after finally deciding on a scenario and tried to pay for it. The fine print was the same on other coupons I’ve combined before so it most likely depends on the cashier. The manager also screwed my boyfriend and I over, which I will make a post about at another time.
It also took a long time because I was driving back and forth between 2 CVS’s because both appeared to be out of stock on the scissors and wooden rulers (CVS deals actually start on Saturday, which not a lot of people know about but that just shows you how tough it is to score deals in my area). I actually saw at least 5-6 people look for the scissors while I was THERE! As I was walking around in despair at one of the CVS stores, I came across a whole box of scissors, notebooks, and other random school supplies at the end of an isle and they weren’t even labeled as the ones that offer ECB.
Moral of the story: Walk at the end of ALL the isles in the store before you decide to waste gas and check out another CVS because employees think its funny when you can’t find stuff and have to ask them where things are only for them to tell you to go to the sewing section!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! You really found a pretty great deal!
BTW.. Yes, I customized my website myself. I actually used to do blog designs, but Go Graham Go has gotten so big that I don’t have time for designs anymore. It is funny that you talk about free because my other blog is http://www.blogdesignsfree.blogspot.com. Unfortunately…like I said.. I don’t have time for it anymore. I had a lot of fun doing it though!
Thanks for stopping by.
What a great trip. My store was out of everything from the school supply deals, so all I have is a bunch of rainchecks to show for the week. I’m planning to go back for the photobooks though, just have to get through my pictures.
I like the simplicity of your blog layout, not too cluttered. My son was the artist on my banner/button. I asked him to draw a picture and that is what he drew. My husband put the picture and text together. All of the other updates have been through searches. I did a post here… http://abusymomoftwo.blogspot.com/2009/04/blogging-help-for-non-programmer.html
