June 14th....Sunday Rolling RRs & CVS quickie

I needed to roll some RRs by June 15th and buy some Sunday papers so I headed out early to WAGS on Sunday morning.
As I came through the door at WAGS, one of the cashiers who knows me told me right off that they had NO St. Ives Body Wash in the store. She said they started the day with about 6 bottles and they had sold them all first thing in the morning. As this is a 24 Hr. store, those 6 bottles probably didn't see the sun rise before they were snapped up! They were suppose to get more in, early in the week, but I just haven't had time to get back to WAGS this week to check.

I was suppose to receive $5 for the Razor, $4 for the Purex(2x $2) & $10 for the Aveeno because I thought I had spent $20 on Aveeno. I didn't realize that one of the lotions had rung up on clearance for $4.24 instead of the shelf tag price of $7 until I got my receipt.
So I went and bought another of the clearanced Aveeno Lotion that wasn't marked and spent another $4.24-$2/1 coupon & $1ECB. With the .08¢ tax, I spent another $1.33 OOP and the cashier forced my $10 ECB.

Total Spent OOP...$1.70
Value of Items bought...$74.47
