Speaking of odd tastes...

Remember those CVS antacids that they kept advertising as Chewy, Not Chalky? I preferred the chalky. Those things were gross but the tropical "chalky" antacids are yummy in my tummy. LOL
I used to get a ton of the tropical ones for my sale. They were free back in the days when we used to get good coupons from the machine. The people at my sale loved them. I had acid reflux so I had to take Pepcid.

I was shocked yesterday when it was raining when I got up. That came out of nowhere. It was nice the day before.

I don't think there's a RA thread, and probably wouldn't post this there anyway
I doubt anyone from RA would read this thread.
But I've gotten in trouble in the past for even obliquely referencing some RA deals.

RA has a 5bc off $30 in the ad, and yesterday it glitched if one spent over $50 (after dQ), earning 15BC
I think the news made it's way around SM so it might be fixed Monday

The other 5/30 versions all say 5bc wys $35. No reports I've seen if they actually work on $30.

And the CATs aren't working all month either. I think they work past expiration but not sure how long.

******
Target gave me $10 off $50 food, some of their baking stuff is half of what I'd pay at Safeway so I'm going for it. But it didn't show up in Circle, or my offers or an email. I searched a food item and it showed up as an applicable offer on that page, but allowed me to add it.
An easter egg?

If anyone is interested, the Decorah, Iowa eagle nests have been active recently. Several cameras can be linked from this site: https://explore.org/livecams/bald...rah-eagles

The 'Decorah Eagles' nest is currently housing a set of geese with six eggs and the 'Decorah North Eagles' nest has two eaglets - one hatched this morning and one yesterday. So amazing to be able to watch nature up close!

Enjoy.

Considering some of the comments I make, I hope that nobody reads this thread. I wish that the thread was weekly rather than 3 months. Then my stupid comments would be gone after a few days and I'd feel a lot better about posting. I might've said this before but it's worth saying again.

I meant for the purposes of thread renewal, not weather. It decided to dip back into winter temps here too. Frown

Today is hot with a cool breeze. I walked by a sprinkler on my way home from CVS and the cold splash of water made me think of when I was a kid at Zuma Beach and I'd run into the freezing water to cool off from the hot sun.

I wonder how somebody discovered the glitch if there aren't any cats and the BC offer is at $30. It's hard to believe that it's been 3 weeks since I was at RA and I only went once in the month before that. It's too bad that they closed the store that was in walking distance (although it's a very long walk). I didn't think that it was a big deal at the time but it ended my RA shopping career. I wonder how much longer that I'll be couponing. I've tried everything to get a flash offer at CVS but it won't happen. I keep on thinking that I'll give Wags one more chance but it always ends in failure. I haven't been able to get myself to go for the last 2 weeks. I get tons of boosters every week but my RR's never print and I have no idea how to fix it. I go over the ad, look at the items that qualify for the RR's, and make sure that I'm not doing things like using a P&G RR on a P&G item and still the RR's don't print. Then a friend emails me and tells me that it worked fine for her.

I get $10 wys $10 emails from WAGs but don't want to learn that again. I quit years ago.
And their product mix doesn't do much for me.
I don't know how it works, but if I get $10 after spending $10, I've heard I cannot but more stuff that earns points. I'd have to figure out RR (and surely would have your situation) OR buy something I want or need.
And when I look at prices for the few things I'd actually use, it's often already half the price at Target.

I remember the WAGs checkout process being very LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOONGGGG
And spent 90% of my time finding fillers


RA folks might have gotten a mailer with x/xx? I heard they print when you pick up a prescription but my pharm was told once, last month, that they're "not scanning right" and refuses to give them to me. Par for my particular course.

I read ONE report that the 15 bc is no longer a thing, but then read another one that someone got 15 back and spent under $50 so.... that's social media, folks.

One idea for Wags is to buy 2 Axe bodywashes with the $6/2 dq and something that's at least $1.02. You'll pay $4 + tax and earn $10 W Cash. If they keep on sending you 10/10's every week, you can do similar deals to build up your W Cash. Colgate is always a good go to. When you consider that you can stack the digital and paper boosters, Wags is actually pretty cheap. On a $30 order, you can earn $14 W Cash ($7 didital + $7 paper boosters) + whatever deals you can figure out. So much for Target being twice as cheap lol. The only problem is that when things screw up at Wags, they really screw up and the store doesn't give a damn.

I didn't mean to edit anything but I hit the wrong button. Sort of like walking into CVS and handing them your RA card. In a few years, I'll be doing that, too.

I usually get my $4 emails today but instead they sent me 40% off's. The AI must think that I really like the % off's since I've been using them so much to try to get the flash offer (which I never got). I know that I've said this a million times but I have to get out of CVS. I just wish that they carried something that I want and/or need. I don't like their food items. I tried the microwave popcorn a few days ago and got sick from it. I've got sick many times in the past from CVS food items. It seems like the food I get from CVS is never fresh.

I check the dates at CVS for every food item I buy. Their nuts are usually good, as long as they are within date. Their price on the bottles of lemon and lime juice aren't that much more here than at the grocery store. Definitely don't try to buy Hellmans there, you will for sure have a heart attack!

I always checked the dates on food items at CVS. When I lived in PA, CVS sold so many out of date products that the state's attorney general got involved and CVS agreed to give customers a $3.50 ECB for every out of date product turned in to a cashier. I loved finding multiples of a product that was past date. Too bad CVS never seemed to get more than two or three of each product or I could have made more than I did.

That being said, I've still found food products from CVS with a stale taste or bad smell even though the date has not passed. Makes me wonder about the conditions of the places where CVS warehouses their products. The most recent thing we found bad was a canister of pringles - the smell when opening made me want to retch. It was awful.
