Hoda and Jenna taste tested them a week or two ago and gave them a thumbs up. I haven't tried them but I like Oreos and I like Coke, so I hope I do, especially if I pay money to get a package.
Maybe we're talking about 2 different things. What I saw was a 16 oz drink.

There are two different products from what I've seen - Oreo flavored Coke and Coke flavored Oreos. I don't think I'd like the two combined; I prefer milk with cookies.

The Coke drink display is in the same place that the Starbucks display was in last week. That's why I think that the Coke drink might be this week's weekend special. If so, there will probably be very limited stock just like with Starbucks. However, I don't think that I'd want to try it even for free. Ok, so I'm boring lol.

The power shifted on The Anonymous last night as one player took over the show. I may have to rethink my predictions.

Yes, I think you're right.

I think Hoda and Jenna tried both, but I was referring to the Oreos. I don't recall anything memorable from them taking a sip of the flavored Coke.

I love the vanilla Oreo cookies but I can't stop eating them so it's a definite no on my grocery list. I'm not a big chocolate cookie fan. I need to go to Ralphs today but it's a 7-mile round trip and I've already been to CVS this morning to wheel home by haul from yesterday. That was a 5-mile walk. Ralphs has oatmeal raisin cookies for $3.99 bogo free and their cookies are delicious. They have Bear Naked granola for $2.49 which is a great price. I've only had it once but I remember it being pretty good. They have the large Kellogg's cereal for $2.49 and I'm hoping that Raisin Bran is included. I have a Kellogg's dq and maybe they'll be a peelie on the box. I think it's a $2/2. There was something else that I wanted but I forget what it was. My total should come out to $17 and I still don't have anything for dinner lol. Oh well, I save more than $17 a day by walking everywhere and I'm getting in pretty good shape but all the granola and cookies may change that lol.

Saw a possibility for some Free FALL Crunch/Butterfinger mini's pop up on IG @ Safeway - $3.99 and get 1000sk ($4) L3, but ugh, none at the two largest Safeway's in my area. Seems like only the Halloween motif is available. Not even sure I'd even seen the Fall one's.

I think it'll be CVS and Wags for me.
CVS has Snickers/Skittles/M&M @ 2/$8, 2 ECB. Net $3 per
Wags - Crunch 2/$8, get (2) $1.25 ibotta. Net 5.50/2, $2.75 per.
No matter where I look - seems to be about $3 per. I miss the days of when we used to have some candy MQ - even a $1/3 would be good now lol.

Aren't hershey 2/$4 after SQ at WAGs?
I've just stuck a toe in WAGs this month, have $5 back wys $10 x 2. I did one $10 transaction on something that was the best price there.
And plan one more, with 9.99 vitamins I need BOGO - $3dQ, and when searching for a filler, it sure looked like the 2/$5 Hershey (NOT Reese, just actual hershey snack size) have $1/2dQ that is SQ so applies to more than 2 items. Tested online cart.

I don't do rebate apps.

I also have 10/40 this week but pretty sure I'd screw that up if I tried to stack it.

The "new" Butterfinger is awful, kids might think you tricked them. I don't know if they also re-formulated Crunch. If I find a Nestle candy deal, I get the 100K bars that DH loves.

Thank you - I didn't know about Hershey's.

The beginning of a new school year and Halloween = get lots of candy. I hand over shopping bags full of candy to my educators (aka I'll be using a ton of ECB and/or WagsCash) - they consume + holiday baggies for the kids.

If Wags is giving out the spend1/10WC coupons for any shots - I can see myself using all the WagsCash on candy - that's what I'd done last year. Burned a ton of WagsCash on candy. Useful buys lol.

I was looking at RA stock (RADCQ). It dropped 95% today. It's now worth 1/5th of 1 cent per share. I haven't been following RA so I have no idea what's going on but I thought that RA was out of bankruptcy. I took a look at Wags stock (WBA) and it's at $9 per share. A few years ago it was at $80. CVS stock has gone down $20 a share this year. It hasn't been a good year for the drugstores. On the other hand, P&G stock (PG) is going thru the roof.

I wish that CVS would go back to sending out email ecb's instead of the FD's. The email ecb's were perfect for things like Hershey's.

Yes, we all wish we were getting random email ecbs! I don't use the FDs anymore either, I am almost out of the CVS game and when I spend the last of my ecbs on Monday, I'll probably only pop back in when we need things and find the best price at CVS.

One of the best albums of the 80's was put out by a group that nobody has ever heard of called Breakfast Club. They are notable for giving Madonna her start as a back-up singer. They only put out one album and every song on it should've been a radio hit. Right on Track was their big single and went to #7 on the Billboard chart. My favorite song from the album is Never Be The Same but that changes all of the time...

.
so I read the ad correctly?
What a shock laugh out loud

am I in any danger if I wait for the last day of the month to finish monthly $5 wys $10 x 2?
(already did one $10 transaction). I plan to go to a store near a WAGs for a Monday-only sale and it would be the most practical time to go.
