So I finally made it to the mall to pick up my free body scrub (check past posts) this weekend and wanted to let everyone know the freebie is still available.
So I am all about getting something for free with a coupon but feel I am smart enough to know not to get sucked into spending more money just to get something for "free" or just to use a coupon....my mom tends to get sucked into that! (But she's learning) Well I went in to grab the body scrub and knowing (since I worked there) that it is next to impossible to find much at V.S. under $7 I would have to search by the cash registers. Well I ended up grabbing the mints and while I was standing in line thinking how the mints were $2.75 I am realizing that I am pretty much spending $2.75 plus tax on the body scrub cause we all know we could get buckets of mints/ candy for free at CVS. So as I am standing there, I am racking my brain for a better deal and it hits me......buy a gift card for $1 and there is your "any purchase". So I gave them a dollar (NO TAX) and got it back on a gift card to eventually roll over and my got my body wash FOR FREE. I know I sound terribly cheap at this point but it is so fun to figure out the best deal and hey, there's nothing wrong with me trying to save my money for better things....like shoes ;)

You are one smart cookie, chick! Glad you posted. I hope you're having a good time!!
You're not cheap - you're thrifty!
YOU GO GIRLFRIEND!! I can't bring myself to buy anything at full price anymore and I just about have to have a coupon to allow myself to buy it on sale or clearance. CVS'n has really changed the way I look at shopping now.
Hey, how come you quit stopping by my blog??
I'm having to start due to increased numbers of gray hair that is becoming noticable! I used to when I was young just for the heck of it. Now I just want to look young!
good one
I'm sad...You can't print it out anymore. I was gonna go get more. Oh well...I did get 2 already.
I sure am missin' me some SUNSHINE!!!
You don't have to post about CVS....I have stopped posting about that one myself. Tired of people knowing my business, but.......I do want to read about and see pictures of your amzingly GORGEOUS family!
I need a SUNSHINE fix!!
If you don't want to post send me a lengthy email. :)
Miss hearing from ya!!
Hey, I did go back & get 2 more scrubs. They said I had to get a beauty purchase & said their mints were included in that. Go figure!
