I looked at the Taylortown SS/RP coupon previews for the 13th, and here's my wishlist.

516000323501 Betty Crocker Box Supreme Brownie Mix, any .50 (9-6-08) Then I just have to wait for them to go on sale for $1 each...
571249218148 LOreal Vive Pro Hydra Gloss Product, any B1G1F up to $4.99 (10-5-08) FREE SHAMPOO @ CVS!!!
518000159357 Pillsbury Crescent Dinner Rolls, any .35 (10-4-08) This will double, I can stick some in the freezer, and keep them for gatherings...

Once again, CVS-T was out of the main part of the deal I was going to do (the deodorant). While the folks that work there are friendly enough, the store just doesn't stock what I want to get a lot of the time, and that stinks. I convinced my husband to drive to CVS-A, and they had everything I wanted. Yay!

The cashier I got at CVS-A was really awesome on very many levels. I asked her if it was okay to use the $1 Sure coupons if I was using the BOGO coupons as well, and she said...

I checked the CVS forum and stratusxp posted an awesome deal -- on 20-27 July, CVS has L'orel Vive Pro Shampoo/conditioner on sale as a BOGO deal. What she so helpfully pointed out is that the 13 July inserts have a coupon for BOGO!! FREE SHAMPOO! I'm going to be stuck in Montana for this deal, which kinda sucks but I can work with that.

Related: My husband thinks this whole idea is a little silly. He doesn't always say as much, but that's what he's thinking. The buying of multiple...

Went in with a half-assed plan, not really knowing what the heck I was going to get. I only got one paper instead of the three I was thinking of grabbing (hate hate hate on the grocery store for being OUT) and just sort of slapped something together. I did really, really well.

Total: $48 something with tax
Coupons: $21.59
ECBs used: $19.49, $3/$15 email
Total OOP: $3.22

Too tired/lazy to post full list of stuff.

The earlier trip to CVS-T didn't pan out quite as I'd have liked; they didn't carry Soyjoy, they've always been out of Listerine, and they had the wrong stupid price up for the Colgate. All the same, when I went to CVS-A I could not have planned this better if I tried. Pulling a scenario out of my butt as I tossed stuff into my basket, I pulled off quite possibly the most perfect thing ever.


Soyjoy bars x8: $8
Smart Rinse 250ml: $3.49 - $1 Q
Gatorade BOGO: $1.89...
