OH! You’re my new favorite blogger fyi
I can’t find the Barilla pasta coupon? I get the pioneer press..same for you or do you get the star trib?
I learned the hard way to always have a backup plan – CVS was cleaned out extra early this morning. One on Central in NE is out of composition books, Glade Lasting Impressions, Glad Warmers. They only have a few of the Carefree packages and the Glade Sense and Sprays.
the star tribune has more coupons then the pioneer press. i opt for the trib now so i dont miss out.

Buy 2 Olay Definity Cream Cleansers at $10.99 each for the $12 ECB deal.
They said it had to be the more expensive cleansers ($24).
Did anyone else try this deal?
Sarah – I totally agree with you on having a backup plan at CVS! I am a total organization freak and love to have my shopping lists exactly written before I go and figure out how ot best utilize my Extra Care Bucks. I’ve learned though that it’s almost impossible to do lately with all of the out of stock items. I’ve gotten really good at figuring everything in the store. I add everything up on my iPhone calculator as I go, then right before I’m ready to check out I subtract all of my coupons, and then count up my ECB’s to use.
Here’s how I did this week:

I think I’m going to go to a different CVS today and see if I can’t find some of those school supplies I have rainchecks for. I don’t think my CVS carries all of the products I’m looking for.
Does anyone know if I can use these/this coupon on Aveeno baby wash? I don’t use the positively ageless line……
If you haven’t signed up for e-mails from CVS, go to their website and sign up. I get lots of coupons from them via e-mail, including $5 off $25, product coupons, and yesterday I received a coupon for a free item!
So make sure to sign up!
