CVS 3 Day Sale
Happy Thanksgiving and early Merry Christmas to me!! I LOVE CVS!! Well, if you haven't done these deals, good luck finding the product. Cuz when we got there a little after 11 pm there were already several people there. They were already out of a few items, but lucky for me and Ana they had the items at the store on Crabb River rd. (woohoo!!)
I had such a great time, it was just so exciting getting all this stuff not only for free but to be PAID to take it. I mean how can you not love that. Plus everything went really well except for me going into the negative and having to find something to add on hence my 5 choc. bars. Hmmm, what will I do with them?
For those of you who haven't done these deals my advice is to go to a non 24 hr store atleast 30 mins before opening. I know you don't want to drive but these deals are worth it! And you know what they say you snooze you lose. I'm also excited cuz I spent no money OOP it came off my GC plus even then it still wasn't alot. On to the good stuff here's my load (that I have no idea where I'm going to put):

If you don't see Christmas gifts in this pic, you should.
Merchandise total: $198.09
Total Q's used: $47
ECBs used: $138.98
OOP (on GC):$5.19
ECBs Earned: $187.65
Profit: $43.48
I could still get some more Bic and the Quattro and just may go back out in the morning.

Let's see what all went wrong with this trasaction? First it wouldn't take my ECB, hence the candy. cashier would not push it through & the lady behind me was UP-SET with him about it. I had to tell him to void it so he could check her out & then we'd try the ECB first (ok 2nd after my $10/50). Well, that didn't work and guess what he pushed it through, ugghhh!! Then (yeah, there's more) I look at my receipt only to see that some of my ECBs did not print. So, I tell him he takes my product goes examines the shelves to make sure it's the right stuff then says he can't help me and calls someone else. Oy! She gives me the third degree but finally turns to the register scans my receipt pushes some buttons and prints my ECBs. I would of been impressed if I hadn't been so tired, instead it was just like; ehh! Ya know?
So, this means now they can print your ECBs on the spot if they don't print (not all stores) and for rain checks. That about sums up my trip, oh no there's one more thing. When my deo was being examined she did not put it back in the bag, which is why you only see two in the pic. Yep, had to call and let them know then go pick it up, and since I was there I let the manager know about his
