Lesson learned...WATCH the SCANNER!!!!
Not too bad! Now, if I can just make my husband a believer, I will have accomplished something!

Now, why didn't you just post the coupons?
Because you know I have to know! That is an incredible purchase.
What always kills me is that the AMOUNT of items looks so small, but their retail value is always so high!
That is awesome! I love CVS! I got a bunch of throat coolers and actually made money (ECBS) on New Year's Day. I had some buy one/get one free coupons and scored big at the CVS in Dahlonega, GA that night after visiting the in-laws all day.
That is some good shopping, Bethany:) Very impressive. Listen, what are you Mondays like? You should join Tutti and me for story time at the library. I would love to actually meet. We usually do Chik-fil-a afterwards.
