I put gobs of Neosporin on it and that didn't work. Usually, if I sit in the tub for a few minutes the cut stops but not now.

I was in the parking lot at Vons this morning and some guy in a monster truck floored it when he backed out and almost hit me. I was at least 30 feet away from him and he was coming right at me and not slowing down. I yelled at the top of my lungs and I guess he heard me and he stopped but it was really close. My heart has been racing ever since. I took my heart meds and some nitro when I got home but that hasn't helped. It's pointless for me to go to the ER. Been there done that too many times. There's nothing that they can do for me that will improve my condition so they'll give me some morphine and I'll watch tv for a couple of days and they'll send me home and the next day I'll feel just as bad as when I came in. As far as shopping goes, I'm still ahead at CVS but I'm falling behind at RA and I have a lot of store money at both stores. I feel like I'm in real danger of losing it all again. I can't think when I'm on my meds. I can do CVS on auto pilot but RA is much more difficult for me so I'm not sure what I'm going to do. RA had an epic sale 3 weeks ago and I went crazy but now I'm paying the price with all of the stress. It's too much money to just lose again
To be fair, you can't think when you're off them either.... Stick Out Tongue lol

Tomato

How long does bonus cash last? 30 days? I don't remember. Maybe you can take a break from RA and just do some light CVS. Which should be fine....

because the deals are light lol

I don't know enough about how RA works to help you, but I would try my go to suggestions when someone has too much CVS money and has to spend it without putting together a deal.

Option one is to buy food stuff you can use that will not go bad. I buy things like soda, chips, butter, cheese, talenti (gelato), chips, nuts, fruit cups, cereal, etc. I can assure you, CVS has some hella expensive prices on some of those, but when I personally get into that use it or lose it situation, I remind myself $7.49 Kraft cheese slices are better than just throwing away that $7.50 away because I otherwise won't be able to use it.

Option two is to pick something to buy that you can return before the return policy on it expires. Again, I don't know RA policies, but at CVS, you can return with a receipt within their timelines. I think there's a limited number of returns per card per year, but I try to keep returns limited so have no idea what the limit is. I also don't know how a return is processed at RA, so that might make an impact. At CVS, you get real money back in the format you paid it (cash, gift card or credit card) and the extracare bucks back in one lump sum ecb that then has an expiration date two weeks out. Just a couple of basic ideas for you to consider.

Hope the bleeding stops overnight!

Yep, that's a big problem...lol

Even at my very best (and I'll beat you to it, which isn't very good) I'm not sure that I could handle it. With how I am now there's no chance.

lol, same. Sometimes when it's last minute and I have to burn ecbs I look for pantry staples. I may not have an idea of what to buy now, but there are times I've needed something random like evaporated milk or chicken stock....and I've picked it up from CVS LMAO

Needs improvement. laugh out loud I'll let the bad jokes slide because you're on meds. You need to recover to come up with some good ones.

Your advice is terrific but I don't think that it will help me in my situation. I've been through this before with the Wags fiasco a few years ago. I've lost my store money three other times - twice when I was in the hospital for over a month due to emergency surgery and the third was what shall forever be known as the Great Purge. I'm not sure that I can handle #4 and I worked too hard to just throw it away on stuff I don't want. It's like burning your paycheck...

I almost was run over this morning in the Vons parking lot by a guy in a monster truck backing out of his parking space at full speed. I was nowhere near him but the next thing I knew he was right on top of me. I yelled as loud as I could and I guess he heard me because he stopped a few feet away from me. My heart started racing and I haven't been able to slow it down. It took my meds and nitro when I got home but it didn't do anything except make me a vegetable for the rest of the day. Sometimes I fool myself into thinking that I'm ok when I'm really not and do things that end up causing me a lot of problems. Shopping is one of them. I don't know if I'll be alive in a month let alone able to roll my ecb's and bonus cash. I don't know what the hell I was thinking. Now I have to get out of it somehow without wasting my money and putting me back into the hospital.

Another thing is that you and I live in states where we have to pay really high sales tax. Let's say you have $100 ecb's. How much did you pay in sales tax to get it? If you've been working as many deals as you can every week you could've easily spent $1000 in sales tax over the past year. If you liquidate your card by getting a bunch of overpriced junk you're taking a huge loss. For the $1000 you paid in sales tax you have a bunch of junk sitting in your garage that you don't want or need. You can't sell it because, at least here in Cali, shoplifting is legal and you can walk into the store and take whatever you want and the employees won't do sh*t to stop you. Your customers all think it's stolen so they won't give you anything for it. Then you have the idiots on YT who do the get $500 of stuff and have CVS pay you $300 to take it videos. It's pointless to do this unless you're getting stuff you need and another bottle of Pantene won't make a difference in my life.

I don't know what you should buy, but an electric razor sounds like a good idea!

Here's my silly issue: Daughter uses shaving foam for legs/underarms. (I am super cheap and have always just used soap to shave. I have tried to show her how to do that but she likes the foam.)

If there are every any good deals on that, can you peeps point it out to me? Or should I just buy it at Dollar Tree?

I've been getting some great shave crt's at CVS. 10/20 Gillette, 10/20 Venus, and 10/25 Schick. There are ecb deals on all 3 this week. I got some Fusion shave gel last week as part of the Gillette deal. If you've been doing the CG deals the last few weeks you might have some ecb's to burn. That's what I would do. RA has a Skintimate shave gel on clearance for 75% off but they were out of it. I forget what flavor it was. They had a raspberry one in the clearance spot but it was the wrong one. Can't help you too much with Wags. I did A&H and Fructis on Sunday with my 5/12 but my 5/12 shows as still being on my card. Will it work again? I might try it today and see what happens. I can always use more detergent. You could do shave gel with Fructis if you got a 5/12 and it should be a free deal depending on what shave gel you got and if you have a coupon.

HI!! No help with deals, just wanted to say, that, I, too, use soap!!
FYI Skintimate is thick as hell. Clogs the razor, hard to rinse out. Haven't used it for many years but that was my experience then. ( when we had good deals on it) Its a thick Gel.
