7/4/10 CVS Trip

I was a little hesitant to go to CVS this week because the ad wasn't THAT exciting. However, we needed a few things and I had the quarterly ECBs and an email that I received so I decided to make a trip. I couldn't pass up the free SOBE water either!

7/3/10 Rite-Aid Trip

I try to avoid Rite-Aid as much as possible because: 1) they never seem to have what I want that's on sale, 2) they aren't very coupon friendly, and/or 3)they don't have a lot of deals that appeal to me. I went to get the Veet that was on sale, but, of course, they were out of it. According to them, they only get a truck in every other week. Sounds strange to me, but....

Anyway....I did walk out with 4 bags of Pretzel M&Ms for free....
