remember, if you try to use both coupons on the mitchum without anything else in your transaction, the 2nd coupon will beep because it exceeds your remaining total before tax. the cashier should adjust the coupon to $.99, but it could be an issue at stores that aren't coupon-friendly!

arrgh! i hate shopping cvs on saturdays! if the store has turned on the next week's deals, they can override the current week's deals.
my hallmark eb didn't print (my cards counted towards next week's deal instead of this week's) and the blink only printed $3 eb (next week's deal also). i had to get the missing eb manually printed.
i didn't find any physicians formula peelies, but luckily i received the crt when i scanned my card.
update 05/01: i didn't think about it at the time, but the physicians formula brought my beauty club total over $50 and i earned the $5 eb!

i was shocked to get a $4 off $20 crt from the coupon center!
i figured the physcians formula would be almost free with the $15 crt and the 25% coupon, but the 25% only took off $3.96 (full 25% of $20.99 is $5.25). some of the coupons or extrabucks i used must have reduced the amount deducted by the 25%, though i haven't figured out exactly how the system calculated $3.96...
but the $4 off $20 more than covered the difference, so i got everything free! :)

the kellogg's cracker chips were previously reported to be part of the april kellogg's deal, but this week they are on sale and apparently not counting towards the deal anymore. i decided to give it a try anyway since i wanted to try the chips and had eb expiring, but i can confirm that they didn't add to my tally. :( they are tasty though :)

i had $11 in eb to use before they expired and my plan was to buy the complete and depends, but my store didn't appear to have the depends yet. so i figured it was a good time to use my raincheck for free after eb thermacare. the raincheck was for $3.79 eb, but manually printed eb always round up to the next whole dollar amount.
it actually worked out nicely that i didn't get the depends sunday, because i didn't have the new $2 cvs coupon that is now available! if they still don't have it next time i go i'll definitely ask for a raincheck.
ps - got a whopping $.50 for my quarterly spending!

thermacare was sold out, but i lucked out and found the physicians formula with $3 peelies! look for this "phmatchmaker" display...
the lip gloss is $9.99 (close enough to $10 to print the $7 eb) so free with coupon!
i didn't think about the fact that i was $.02 short of the $15 needed for the $3/$15 crt i used. some say that the $/$$ coupons will go through as long as you spend 98% of the required amount. i wouldn't rely on that because the cashier can still deny you. but i didn't have any problems today - if i did i would have had to throw in some cheap candy!
