Shopping Trip - 4/1/12
Only CVS and Walgreens again! I'm not going back to Rite Aid until I get my UPs from the Olay deal a few weeks ago. They're supposed to be mailed to me.

I bought 33 items today. Purchased items include 4 Coke product 12-packs, 2 Depends Real Fit briefs 3ct, 2 bags plastic Easter eggs, 2 Revlon nail polishes, Revlon lipstick, Allegra allergy medicine 5ct, Red Bull energy drink, Knoxville News-Sentinel newspaper, 6 Easter glitter putty, 5 M&Ms Easter eggs, 2 bags Kit Kats, bag of Reese's peanut butter eggs, bag of Hershey's minatures, 2 bags Dove promises chocolates, and 2 bags M&Ms.
Several of these items are for my class Easter party. (Just like all the activity pads and other candy and prizes from previous trips.) There's no way hubby and I could eat all this stuff by ourselves!
Here's a breakdown of each store.

CVS
I started with $2
ExtraBucks and received my quarterly EBs—only $2.50 on my card. I also had to
pick up some things on dad’s card. He got $3.50. My mom got $6 on her card!
Must be because of all the prescriptions. She used hers later on in the week to
buy some Cokes.

It should’ve been $1.25 less because of the coupon error. And I should’ve received $10 UPs. I hope I get it straightened out with Customer Service.

I told her my coupon
was not used correctly in Transaction # 1. She thought one of the body washes
would be 50% off—hence the $3.74 amount. When I told her both cleansers were
according to my receipt, she said, “Oh, I owe you $4 then.” So I guess she put in
a post=coupon or whatever and gave me $4 back. This would’ve been fine IF she
owed me $4. She actually owed me $5.24. I was so confused that I didn’t get a
chance to correct her, though.

anything about it at the store level. I have to call Customer Service tomorrow.
Between the cashier messing up my body wash coupon and my UPs not printing… I
was not too happy.
