Went from sooo excited to soooo sad.....

I am sorry. There is still the Pantene, PF Makeup and Miracle whip. Perhaps you can get a decent deal together with those items?

I had to order by this am for a Monday truck. Perhaps you could order early tomorrow for a late Mon/ Tuesday truck. If your store happens to get one in on Tuesday.

It is a good thing my water mug was empty because I would have done a spit take when I read 'heaven in your mouth'. Seriously.

But I do not believe I have ever had a pita. I think I have had the cinnamon and sugar pita chips with Philly Indulgence. Is that close enough?

I've been doing my Saturday transactions since early this morning . Then rolling some deals Sunday when my $3/2 Covergirl q's are delivered. Then the rest of the week PF makeup & getting gas cards & beauty bucks

It is worth a try, you may luck out. But go early and have it all worked out as far as what you want. If the manager cant order, he may be able to transfer the stuff in from another store.

When I went in to scan my red card tonight, the machine was jammed so I had to get the manager any way which was good because I wanted to let him know what the issue was with my return from yesterday and that it wasnt anything bad. I asked if he had any trouble with my order. He said the #s took just fine and that if something didnt come in he would try to locate it locally for me. Not that I think that is actually going to happen with the PF concealers but it was nice of him to offer that.

1 Miracle Whip: 1.99
= 20.96

-5/20
-(2) 3/2 Pantene
-(4) 2/1 Shampoo CRT
-(1) 0.55/1 Miracle Whip

= 1.41. 20.96 Towards Gas Card.

I'll finish this GC with more Pantene/PF/Dawn/CG on Sunday for maybe 1 or 2 more gas cards.

I played with it and I believe for my items I'm getting the $7 off is a better deal my youngest daughter will be 16 on the 1st so I decided on a whole bunch of ph make up. Is what she will be getting she loves make up and she loves ph make maybe with a new make up bag

As long as you get the same satisfaction you do when you're shopping then that is the kind of pita I'm talking about

Same here, except with Rite Aide the past month or so (ever since they got CAT machines). Next week, will be all CVS though. I've already been going to CVS everyday just for the CRT's.

[Melema31]

I'm thinking of asking if I can out my pf items behind the counter they done that for me before with a new DVD that came out and offered to do it if they had the Venus breeze on the truck that came out so worried I have to work Saturday night and work Sunday morning or be there right at 7 am Sunday and hope to make it to work by 8am 30 miles away :-( Cvs in the town I work don't open til 8 on Sundays now :-(

[RiteAidGuru01]

[aubreepwi]

Don't forget $1/1 Tide qp that expires 6/30 may have to ad filler but may be lower even with filler

[mountaindews]

I am here because I do not like to pay full price on what I need. Shopping for me is necessity than a pleasure. I would rather spend my time doing other things.

aubreepwi--I am sorry. Hopefully today will be the day you can look at the deals and plan. That'll have to relieve a little stress right?

Well, it is smart of you to recognize that you dont have to pay full price and great that you put in the work even though you dont love it. I wonder if there is a way to retrain yourself how you feel about couponing because once you enjoy it enough to label it as a 'hobby' there really is no stopping and your savings will grow and grow! That leave more money for the other things.

[missdanalu]

I agree - couponing to me is a hobby and I looove it. The savings is just a perk. I'd be out shopping anyways at least this way it doesn't cost me anything and I save lots of money at the grocery store (or gas pump, in this weeks case)!

[tagarza]

Exactly Dana! Before couponing I was PAYING for stuff while shopping, free or close to it is MUCH more satisfying! When I start thinking of scenarios I am not tired, I have more energy, I am happier.....truly addicted

[tagarza]

Oh and of course I could not sleep last night thinking about how I should have pre ordered PF skincare but just didn't think I would need to! Please say a prayer for me ....I'm going to talk to the mgr today about transferring product and check one other store close by but if those don't work out I'm going to ask about a RC for the $7.99 and get $10 ECB's instead of a gas card once the truck comes in. I'm hoping they'll do it, I really don't want to miss out on this deal I LOVE PF skincare!

I *did* love shopping before coupons so that may be influencing how I view it but this is a whole other thing IMO. Now it is a big game...the goal, to keep my money of course! I get bonus points when I make money.

I do have to say that I am lucky in that my husband understands the benefits and is game to help most times too. Not in the actual store, mind you, that is all on me but printing stuff, driving me when I am tired, stopping at a store for a quick trip while we are out doing something else. It is nice to have a partner that understands and supports this hobby. I really feel for those that dont have that.

Now on to the addiction side of it, I will admit to getting a little shaky with excitement when I am heading up to the register for a big transaction. You think in a few years CAs will start springing up...maybe a TLC special too...CA the ugly side of EC???

I really hope it works out for you! Please share what happens. The manager may have a solution that hasnt been mentioned before and that may help someone else!

[tagarza]

While my husband likes I save money and will stop if we are out and about and let me check stores he isn't as supportive as I'd like him to be. Honestly, anything at all that takes time away from me hanging out with him annoys him. Ugh, he's like a teenager that's dating! He's completely fine with me couponing he just hates when he's home from work and I'm doing math for scenarios or running to CVS if I didn't get there during the day. It's so annoying that he gets annoyed ! Maybe one day he'll grow up!
