Since hardly anyone ever posts an actual deal at WG that can be replicated, I doubt we know about it.

Want to share?
The good oral-b coupons are under the all categories and personal care headings. If you search for oral-b they don't show up.

Thank you, that helped me find a few of the ones that were mentioned! That's sad they don't come up via the search.

Maybe I wasn't as bad as I first thought. Applause

I'm glad that I was finally able to help you with something. You've helped me quite bit this year and I want to say thank you. Lots of people on here have been good friends to me since I came back to SD. I don't want to say names in case I forget anybody. You guys have listened to my medical stories time and time again and I'm sure that it must drive you guys crazy. Thank you for that. I know that I'm a lot to put up with.

I felt like my old self at Wags tonight. I haven't felt that way for 5 years. I used to be incredibly good at Wags. I've never considered myself good at RA and I was only fair at CVS. Wags was my store. Tonight felt like the old days. I understood the deals and price tags and everything I did worked as expected. I was worried that I might get kicked out because I was going to buy so much but then the RR's stopped working and I crashed back to reality. It was nice while it lasted. I forgot what it was like to have things go my way.

Hey, it's great that you were having a good run!

I feel like sometimes when I'm having a good run, I end up messing up because I try to keep it going too long.

Maybe Wags will be your store again!!

Thanks. I wanted to reply earlier but I fell asleep. it's the first time in 5 years at Wags that I felt like I was really on top of it and I knew exactly what I was doing. It felt like the old days when I could just randomly throw things into my cart and it would always work out. It was so much fun to shop that way. Now I'm always nervous and looking over my shoulder except for tonight. Tonight was the old me until the RR's stopped working. I should've just continued on and done as many deals as I could. The RR's would've lowered my oop but the deals were mm's after tax so it was still worth doing them especially the 2 large Gains. It's not often that you can get 2 large Gains in a transaction and have it be a mm after tax.

I'm back from my trip to Ralphs and Wags. Ralphs has Coke 12-packs on sale for $3.99 and they have the Original Taste one. OMG, it's soooooo good!!!!! Way better than today's Coke. I did two $40 deals at Wags with Gain and Crest. Both were $9 mm's before tax. I have to look at what dq's I have left to see if I can do any more P&G deals. Today is the last day of the P&G flash sale. I want to roll my RR's from P&G. There are Schick and Dove W Cash deals which would be ok but there aren't any dq's for them. A $50 deal would end up costing me $10 without coupons. I'd do it for detergent but not for Schick and Dove lol.

Good for you!

I had an exhausting day. You would think that spending two hours laying in the dentist chair wouldn't be tiring, but I'm feeling just the opposite.

I guess it depends on the dentist. One of my best friends is a dentist. He's a chain smoker and he used to be a drummer in a hard rock band. You can imagine what his office is like. Ozzy blasting and cigarette smoke everywhere. The receptionist is in a mini skirt. Then my friend walks in with a Hawaiian shirt on and goes hey dude, surfs up. How's that for relaxing?

Might be relaxing for some. Reminds me of my former dentist before I moved. The guy was a parrot head and his offices screamed Jimmy Buffett! Thankfully, no smoke (that would be a deal breaker for me) but definitely the Hawaiian style shirt and parrot and tropical murals on the walls and even the ceilings.

On the other hand, I think it's hard for some folks to relax at the dentist no matter what's going on around them. Going to the dentist never bothered me whereas my husband never liked going; now that we're older the roles have reversed a bit - I'm more apprehensive since my teeth have gotten sensitive and it doesn't bother my husband at all as he seems to have lost all feeling with things dental. He's had an infected tooth and never felt a thing - the dentist couldn't believe it and even tried to get him to feel something to no avail.

The dentist sees me and goes oh goody, I get to go to Hawaii again this year...

Wow, it's Wednesday and still no posts in the RA thread. I wasn't kidding, I have no deals. I'm spending all of my Bonus Cash on detergent. I'd rather be in cash than store money at this point. Not just at RA but everywhere. Wags is a little different because you have a year to use the W Cash so there's no need to be out right away. I'm mad at myself for doing CG at CVS on Sunday. Now I have ecb's with nothing to spend them on. I get a headache from trying to do CVS deals. Without doing Ibotta and printables and now with no way to get inserts (Jacks sells out too quickly) it's way too difficult to even buy toothpaste.

Please never elaborate how. LOL

But, seriously.
