I made two transactions today. A lot of people have asked me if I do all of my transactions at the same store at the same time. The answer is, NO. I have lots of CVS's near me, so I always do my transactions in separate trips at different stores. For example, on my way home from Kaiser, I pass 3 CVS's!!! I've never had the guts to do 2 transactions at the same time.
Trip 1:
1 Nivea body wash $4.99
3 Kleenex $2.31
1 Loreal wrinkle cream $11.99 (in case my 29 year old face begins to wrinkle :)
1 Adidas deoderant $4.99
1 Skin Effects cleanser $6.99

I'll be calling CVS tomorrow about this transaction. The cashier wouldn't let me use one of my dog food coupons and the dog food rang up $1.19 each and the shelf said $.99. I should be getting $2.52 back. It would have been even lower if I could have used my $5 off $30 coupon again. Oh well, I would have paid $6 for the tampons without getting the rest of the stuff before I started CVSing......

I never do more then one transaction per trip either. Well I did the other day because they had the flavorice on clearance and I didn't realize till I was back in the car and that cvs is the only one near me that had them and its the farthest from my house and I would not be back up there till monday, so I went back in, but I typically do one transaction per store.
HOW DID YOU GET YOUR HUBBY TO BUY KOTEX AND WRINKLE CREAM????
Bummer about not being able to use the 5/30 more than once! I wondered about that myself. I considered trying to use it for a second transaction, but then couldn't come up with enough stuff I needed. I'm glad I didn't try it, or I would have been disappointed.
Thanks for your comment about the Just for Men! I had Lance pose for the picture, because it was just too ironic. : )
