Split into two orders to maximize my coupon usage (making sure each order was $30 or more).

Then I got home and realized that I had mistakenly purchased a COLGATE tongue-cleaning toothbrush instead of a second CVS tongue cleaning toothbrush.  I went back on a later date to exchange it and ended up with this:

Reese’s Whips @ 0.50
2 Keebler 6oz boxes of cookies @ 1.00 = 2.00
CVS brand tongue-cleaning toothbrush @ 2.99
Absolutely Divine (CVS brand) chocolate filled wafers… yum @ 2.99 (Was supposed to be 50% off because of current promotion, but didn’t ring up that way.  I didn’t go back and complain.  Skip to the end to see how much I made and you’ll see why I let this one go.)
Cottonelle toilet paper, 20pk @ 9.99
Sambucol 4oz at 12.99
Johnson and Johnson Buddies soap @ 0.99

THAT’S ALMOST $50, PEOPLE!

Seriously.  It was a good week.

And I got cookies and candy bars.  Which was good.  It was a chocolate-kind-of-a-week.
