Shopping during the storms..

I ran out and did some shopping during the evening storms. It was quite hot when I left and beautiful if a bit wet when I returned...

I actually spent a couple hours out but didn't bring much home.

My first stop was CVS to $2 back for the Similac Q I forgot to use on Sunday. The manager returned it no problem. Figuring in the $2 coupon and ECBS I earned on my Febreeze deals, the formula was essentially free! And it is good until next August, plenty of time for me to possibly use it. If not, I will donate it next summer. I did get rain checks at this CVS for the Post trail mix cereal and the febreeze deal.

CVS
I hit another CVS store and found the cereal in stock and razors restocked! I also found the free beauty brand coupons (in the beauty section). You never know when one of these "beauties" will result in a smokin' deal! I can't figure out the tax with CVS, when I checked out I gave my ECB first.. knowing that it would help (somehow) reduced my tax... unfortunately I ended up going negative 5 cents.. so I threw the snickers bar into the order... And of course I had to eat it tonight!

3 Bic Soleil Razors bonus packs $2.99 each - $3 MQ= free
2 Bic Titanium Razors on sale B1G1- B1G1 MQ= free
3 Post Trail Mix Cereals $10 total - $2 MQs= $4 for all 3.
1 snickers bar
- $4.98 ECB
Total on a gift card $0.65

So my subtotal was NEGATIVE $0.31 with $.96 in tax... I honest don't know how my tax was reduced so low, because we do pay tax on pre-coupon prices here... CVS registers are so WONKY!

Bookmans
I spent about 30 minutes at Bookmans, trading in magazines and picking up a few things. I snagged a Caillou book and wiggles video for Quinn and a This Old house magazine for peter... OOP using trade credit.


99 Cent Only

I stopped at the 99 cent only store and found Zooth Tunes Toothbrushes. I bought one to see how Quinn would like it. I figured he would love it because its more like Mommy and Daddy's (sonic cares), there was the off chance that he would be afraid of the sound... but I was right, he liked it. I plan to go back and snag a few more. His baby toothbrushes need to be replaced anyway since he chews and sucks on them more than brushes anyway. I am hoping the music/sounds will encourage longer tooth brushing. Anyway, I also snagged a couple of kiddie ice packs, carrots, a dozen eggs (in the fridge already), 2 ore ida steam and mash potatoes (in the freezer already), candy for a movie on Sunday and a pretty plant.


Walgreens
I also stopped by a couple walgreens, to see what deals could be found in the clearance section. I plan on going back tomorrow (after our day trip to Benson) and snaggin some free packaging tape!!
