June 10th...Braces, CVS & WAGS

June 10th was the last day of school for the 2 younger kids. The daughter had an appt. to get her braces off that morning. We dragged our butts out of bed early and drove 1/2 hr. to the main office to get those puppies taken off.
After over an hour in the waiting room, daughter comes back out with the braces off her Upper Teeth but the lowers still on. Nobody mentioned anything about this turn of events to us!
Great....
Daughter has an upper tooth that hasn't descended so she still needs a bracket on that 1 tooth & she has to wear a rubber band. The band attaches to the bottom brackets so they left all of the lowers on.
I hate this Ortho guy. He doesn't tell you anything until after the fact. I was led to believe that this was the LAST APPT. grrrr

So the receptionist makes an appt. for 2 weeks from then and then says you need to come back later today at 2:30pm.
Excuse me???
She says that daughter needs to come back because they are making a retainer that they just took the impression for this morning & daughter needs to have it fitted then.
I'm not driving 3 towns away and turning around in 3 hrs. and coming back here today!UGH
So, I make the appt. for 2 hrs. from now and we went shopping locally.
Yes, there were 2 CVS's & a WAGS nearby & I had ECBs and RRs expiring.lol

Again, something is hinky here. I had 6 items & the register only let me use 4 coupons/rrs. I had some $1 Bic RRs to use & a $3 from Kraft or ConAgra...is Nabisco one of those?lol I know it wouldn't take my $1.50 RRs from the Colgate Toothpaste 2 weeks back b/c the dish soap was Palmolive(as in Colgate-Palmolive). I should have been able to use at least 1 more $1 Bic RR tho.
Oh well....yet another reason to stick to small transactions and write out the plan before you set foot in the store.
