Whew!

Ok - made it to CVS and Vons...But I had to go to two different CVS stores. The one I have been visiting NEVER has the items I want and another one nearby ALWAYS has the items I want, so I may be switching stores. It has happened enough that I am tempted to call corporate and let them know that the store needs help! I can't tell if there are just a bunch of people all shopping for the best deals at the one store and clearing shelves, or if the store just can't keep up with stocking shelves. At any rate, I was able to get my items for about $20: two centrum probiotics, two children's advil, one dimetapp cold and cough, 4 secret deodorants, 6 Arizona tea half and half, one rootbeer (for ds), and 3 boxes of kleenex. There were no lysol wipes available. However, I didn't think I would get any ECB's and there was a deal for $4 of ECB's when you buy 2 select advil products. So I did get $4 for next time and I will get $10 in the mail from the advil mail-in rebate.

Then at Vons I was able to get some snacks, some spaghetti sauce, some ice cream treats, bread, cheese, eggs, yogurt (enough for a while - put them in the freezer for lunches, so they'll last about a month), some beans, some condensed soups for cooking, two packages of kitchen trash bags (I like to get these cheap and get alot so I don't have to buy them as often - I think the last time I bought was 6-8 months ago!), some cereal, and a couple other things...I was able to keep it under $100. I only saved 35% today, but I am still ok with it. ;-)

I still need to get to Sprouts for some berries and organic broccoli, but I may wait until tomorrow - double ad Wednesdays are always fun. Their prices from this week and next will all be in effect so I won't be kicking myself if something comes up as a better deal tomorrow.

I hope you are able to find some good savings this week! Good luck to you.
