Is there anything as disconcerting...

...as walking into a CVS intent on buying cases of soda, only to find there are no carts available? Sigh.

CVS - my new card. This finished out a deal I started yesterday on soda:

• 3 cases Diet Pepsi $10, used $2/$10 purchase of fruit, nuts or sugar free items (CVS coupon found in 50 Million Pound Challenge Book)
• Kellogg's Smart Start Cereal $4.99, will submit for TMF rebate found on box = FREE
• Used $10 EB, total was $3.69
  

Got back $10 EB for spending $20 on Pepsi (Limit 2). Since I broke my purchases into two trips so I could use two $2 coupons (one per customer), I only spent $6 after EB's for six cases of soda - $1 a case! (not including tax) Ain't bad at all!

Since it was such a great deal, I did it again on DBF's card (at another store):

• 4 cases Diet Pepsi CHERRY!!! $13.33, used $2/$10 purchase of fruit, nuts or sugar free items (CVS coupon found in 50 Million Pound Challenge Book) - since this store had four cases of cherry, I bought four at once. I LOVE this flavor and CVS hardly ever carries it
• Used $10 EB, total was $2.13
  

At another store:

• 2 cases Diet Pepsi $6.66
• 4 bags CVS brand dried fruit
• Used $2/$10 purchase of fruit, nuts or sugar free items (CVS coupon found in 50 Million Pound Challenge Book), total was $9.28
  

Got back $10 EB for buying $20 of Pepsi
