CVS made my wish come true toay!


My 2nd trip to CVS.

As I walked through the door of a CVS I’ve NEVER shopped at the cashier greeted us cheerfully while eyeing the bright purple binder I clutched in my arms. Are you coupon shoppers, she asked with a smile on her face. “I, uh, yeah, we are” I stammered. Are you here to shop the new ad she asked?
Had I not been made familiar with this term on WUC I would have ignorantly asked her what she meant.
“Well, I’m not sure” I replied. “This is my 2nd time shopping at CVS and we are going to try to get some good deals, but I’m working off of the current ad”. That’s ok she stated, our system is down, so if you purchase anything on the new ad please let me know, I’ll have to key it in manually.
I thanked her, walked over to the scanner that obviously was not working either. We didn’t get to scan our cards to see if we had any goodies coming out of it today. Bummer.
As we scanned the aisles and I pointed to the direction of the vitamins on the back wall, then to the shampoo aisle, my notes in hand, we found everything we were looking for, and then some.

My 17 yr old daughter just had to have make-up, she helped with the 2nd transactions since Melissa couldn’t be there today. She had to work boo-coo’s of
Over time this week so Sarah did her shopping for her. I figured since she helped so much she deserved the make-up, especially with the great deals we got.
The shampoo is for her too.
IDK what I’ll do with most of these vitamins. I am sure I’ll figure something out!

We then went and splurged to see Alice In Wonderland in 3-D and it was amazing! We couldn’t have afforded the price of the movie for 4 of us if we hadn’t been
