Sometimes I get bizarre reactions from the cashiers when I get good deals. The other day I bought 4 boxes of Vicks Sinex Sinus liquigels at Walgreens. They were on sale for $5 each. I handed the cashier (who I know) 4 coupons for $4 each knocking the price down to just a buck each. The bill came to just over $4 (I included a cheap filler) and then I handed her a $2 register rewards making the total bill just over 2 bucks out of pocket. The cashier (who always acts jealous of good deals by customers) asked what I was going to do with all that Sinex. I told her probably very little and that the real reason for the purchase was about to take place. At that point the Catalina machine spit out a $10 register rewards. As I split, I told the cashier the real reason for the purchase would take place in a few minutes.

Few minutes later I am before the same cashier again with 2 Red Barons pizza (on sale 2 for $5), 2 Harvest Select soups (2 for $3 with store coupon), and a tube of Colgate. I used the $10 register rewards from the previous transaction to pay for most of it with less than two bucks out of pocket. Then the Catalina machine spit out a register rewards for $2 (for the Colgate) which I could use to repeat the entire deal again.

I look for in store coupons and couple them with ones from the paper..don’t forget to look in the Parade section as it often has a coupon or two. Any coupon I don’t want goes to a friend. Krogers doubles my coupons up to 60 cents. After a while they start sending you their own coupons, I get free coffee ones (store brand) which I use as it is better than the name brands. I only buy what I can use, rotate my stock. My shelves are stocked for 6 months. I especially like bargains on things like laundry soap, shampoo and other grooming items which have been climbing in price faster than food prices. A 99 cent bottle of ALL is a good bargain. Buying a Pro-fusion razor for 99 cents makes me smile as it it cheaper than buying refills.

Walgreens has that little booklet of coupons out, check them out then check out your coupon box. A box of Blink (lubricating tears) with their coupon was 7.99, with the 4 coupon on the box that made it 3.99, and since I use a lot of the stuff I try to look for the bargains.

I remember reading somewhere on FR that SOROS has an interest in CVS.
