The lady told me that they're getting ready to do inventory so they're not getting as much stuff in. I felt like telling her, "But if you get it in, I'll buy it from you and you won't have to count it in your inventory!" Oh well, I still love shopping at CVS! Especially when I can get the deals I planned to!Jessica @ The Shoestring Budgethttp://www.theshoestringbudget.com/my-cvs-shopping-trip-41011/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621206181643731065.post-10963673403657458922011-04-11T13:51:23.788-05:002011-04-11T13:51:23.788-05:00Your situation sounds similar to mine the other da...Your situation sounds similar to mine the other day! Nothing in stock and can't use the $5/$40. I did make a small purchase, but lost a couple of ECBs in the process.

I too...I discovered my CVS restocks on Wednesdays. I too was so frustrated going in on Sunday and everything already gone - I also learned that they start honoring the Sunday sales on Saturday @5pm - Aha! Now I know! ;) I made 2 trips this week that were very successful:<br /><br />Saturday was the last day of the Buy One get 2nd 50% off of Revlon sale. When I had scanned my card earlier in the week it gave me a $5.00 any 2 Revlon. So I ran in and grabbed 2 eyeshadow @$4.99 each. Less the 50% off 2nd one, less $5.00 CVS Q, less 2 $1.00 Revlon MQs (which were expiring), my total OOP = .48. Gotta love it!<br /><br />My Sunday trip for new sale (I was surprised they had what I needed - I fully expected to have to come back and not be able to use my $5/40 Q) but I lucked out:<br /><br />(4) Airwick Freshmatic Kits (minis) - $5.00 ea.<br />(1) Lysol Neutra Air spray - $2.50<br />(2) Brut Deodoarant (B1G1) - $4.79<br />(1) Biore Pore Strips & Cleanser (2/$15)<br /><br />Total before Qs: $42.29<br /><br />(1) -$5.00/$40.00 (CVS Q)<br />(4) -$4.00/Airwick Freshmatic kit (MQ)<br />(1) -$1.50 Lysol Neutra Air (MQ)<br />(2) -$1.00 Brut Deodorant (MQ)<br />(1) -$7.50 B1G1 Biore Pore Strips & Cleanser (MQ)<br />(1) -$1.98 ECB from last week<br /><br />Total Qs: $33.98<br /><br />Math: $42.29 - $33.98 = $8.31 + $10 ECB + $5 ECB = $6.69 Money Maker!

I known that alot of htat has to do with the management, at these drug stores change managers pretty often. In fact hte gentleman I talked to yesterday I had never seen in there before, so I hope this isn't going to start being a problem.<br /><br />We don't have a Rite Aid around here, but I wish we did because I see people getting awesome deals there. <br /><br />We don't shop at Walgreens anymore though because they make it so complicated and always acted like I was trying to pull something over on them and I always left feeling frustrated. Plus my family has had some personal issues with the company as well.<br /><br />I love your picture with the scrabble tiles. =) thanks for stopping by!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09368256252150166486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621206181643731065.post-32799976908498106972011-04-11T07:50:09.189-05:002011-04-11T07:50:09.189-05:00I quit going to CVS and starting shopping more at ...I quit going to CVS and starting shopping more at Riteaid because CVS never had their shelves stocked. It is really annoying when you have your shopping trip all planned out and then you are missing something and you pay more out of pocket then.Frugal Palshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02701473618697663328noreply@blogger.com
