I'm up to my ears in toothpaste!

So, I'm kinda bummed this CVS trip. They didn't have 2 of the things I wanted, so I had to substitute. So I ended up spending $8. But I got $14 back in CVS money, so I guess I did okay. Definitely not as good as my last trip. Still, not too shabby. I bought 8 items & spent $8. That's like a dollar an item! Who says you can't get anything for a buck!!!! Oh, and by the way...Maybelline's Volume Seduction XL Lip gloss burns...really bad.

CVS.....I'll stop buying when they stop paying me!


So, I've read up on CVS Pharmacy, and have (like many) cracked the code! Here's what I bought today and paid nothing out of pocket, and got $22 in CVS Extra Bucks back. So technically, I just made $22 to buy all this stuff! Here's how it worked out:
Total before coupons: $73.90
Less $37.11 coupons: $36.79
Less $40 CVS Extra Bucks (from previous purchase): -$3.21
Plus got $19 Extra bucks for tonight's buys: -$22.21
So now I have $22 to spend on the next purchase, and a whole lotta Tylenol (which normally is like $7-$8 a bottle, so what a steal)!

As long as I never spend more that the "Extra Bucks" in my hand, I'll never have to pay out of pocket for anything at CVS again, and I'll make money off of most purchases.
SWEET!!!!

Odds & Ends

Things here have been very busy, yet I feel totally calm. I think I feel better when I'm busy. When I'm bored, I'm completely restless, and it's crappy. I need to start taking more pictures of the kids. They are so darn cute.....
