**Okay....this whole tax/no tax thing is confusing me. I wonder how two different CVSs in the same town, same county can come up with different amounts for their taxes. My mother did this same transaction in the morning and paid $.05. I did it in the afternoon and paid $.11. Don't get me wrong...I'm not complaining about paying taxes. I just wish there was a way to figure out how they calculate the taxes. Especially....when there shouldn't be taxes on any of this because they are considered food items.

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....
