I had this whole scenario to get RR and combine it with the Toy Story 3 Movie coupon for next week at Walgreens but just realized that it won't work. The Movie is only a DVD. The movie coupon is for a Blu-ray Combo Pack. Now the deal at Best Buy for the movie trilogy is looking good. Vicks Nyquil is awesome. Totally kicked my cold's butt...haahah.

This was a bad trip. I got many rainchecks. Most everything was out of stock. Had to pick random items. One good news is I am starting to get 10% off all non-prescription items because I'm at the Silver level in the Wellness+rewards program. Somehow the subtotal cut into the sales tax.

I only went in for the Purex Laundry Sheets. They are the easiest way to do laundry. No more measuring and they really do work. To make it even better I just add in Tide Stain Release (okay so I have to measure a little bit). I was suprised that the store was stocked. It's the last day of the deal week and I got everything on my list for the first time. Absolutely no substitution...yay!!!

This is the first time after so many transactions that my subtotal wasn't below $1. Luckily I was using gift cards from the rebate program so technically no out of pocket cost. I was suprised when I went shopping on a Saturday to find the shelves fully stocked. Turns out the truck came in last night. So I'm gonna go shopping again on Saturday, hoping for the similar experience.

The total I paid for was way different. I was so excited on finding such cheap deals that I forgot to check the prices it was being wrung up at. I had to go to the customer service desk to get some money back. They had put clearance stickers on the Febreze ringing at $2.28 but the price on the shelf said it cost $1.34. So it made the clearance price more than the original price. Glade carpet cleaners were on sale for 3/$5 but I got charged $1.99 for buying one. Not right. The customer service rep kept on saying I read the price wrong but then I walked back to get the price and she gave me my money back. Yes, I made a big deal over $1.27.
