I'm not driving anymore so if I want to go to CVS I have to walk 2 1/2 miles each way. A 10/70 flash deal isn't very convenient for me because I have to carry the stuff home. I'd much rather have a $3 ecb so that I can get Febreze or some Halloween candy.
That's if they're going to send me anything and I don't have any control over that. That's all I was saying. I wasn't trying to sound like I expect CVS to give me things.

For the third time in two days, I almost got hit by a car on my walk to Vons. I'm at an intersection, the light turns green, I get the walk signal, and I start walking. A truck comes from the opposite direction and makes a left turn without slowing down and misses me by a couple of feet. It was light enough so that he could see me and the same thing happened in the afternoon yesterday. I guess I need to find a new way to get to Vons. There's an alternate way I can go but it's another intersection and it might even be more dangerous.

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.
I think the Hersheys deal ends on Saturday, though I'm not positive. I think I saw next week there's a KitKat deal. Hopefully one of the Wags experts can add some clarity, but sharing in case no one else responds.

You should reach out to the safety experts in your area (311?). Locally, they made a recent change. They are setting up lights so that if you push the button to get the 'walk' light as a pedestrian, it holds the light from changing for the drivers so you get a clear crossing with no cars, unless someone is turning right on red. At many intersections though, they have added signs that say something to the effect of 'Right on red must yield to pedestrians.'

I didn't know that there was such a thing. I'll look into it because somebody is going to get hit one of these days.

I changed my post about Breakfast Club. The last sentence is for you. I didn't do it on purpose. I read it back and started laughing and thought you would enjoy it.

'
ty, wasn't worried so much about Hershey (filler in my case) as I was about pushing it to the last day.
Not a good idea for RA Challenges
Didn't know if WAGs system messes up close to the end of a deal period/changeover to new offers.

Has anyone seen Tic Tac Chewy's 7.05oz?! Checked Safeway, Target, CVS and Wags app's - don't see anything (yet), not even a price per bag.
CVS mgmt tells me it's new new.
$1 ibotta popped up. Reminds me of Mamba Chews from a few months ago - it'd been $1.50ish or less after ibotta/bonus.

I want more candy Wink

My local Kroger affiliate has them. Reg price $3.99, on mega sale now for $1.99. Nestle bags also on mega for $1.99 (I think there's an insert coupon, but I don't have it or the details), and Kinder cheap after Shopkick. If you have a Kroger or affiliate, check there for candy.

Having a yardsale in a few days and a friend gave me some shoes to sell, brand new. I've never tried selling clothing or shoes before because I didn't have any to sell. I've only sold things like toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, etc..... I've got those too this time and shoes. I have to hold the yardsale out in the driveway which has no carpet of course, so thinking that I should get something to set down like a big mat in case someone wants to try on the shoes and. I don't have anything and would probably have to go buy something. Anyone have any ideas?

I remember a long time ago I bought a pair of shoes from a store and wanted to return them or exchange them, I forgot which. The employee looked at the bottom of the shoes and they looked like they had been worn out of the house. I had only tried them on inside with carpeting. It was probably only lint. I went into their restroom and cleaned them off with a paper towel and was able to return them.

Thank you! You've given me hope & a place to start. If Kroger has it already, I'm now hoping Safeway will get soon.

I got some of the Tic Tas to try. Thought they were pretty good, but not exactly what I was expecting. Built sort of like a jelly bean, but reminiscent of Good 'n Plenty in that the insides were pretty small and firm and the outside was slick, brittle, and a bit more substantial than the average jelly bean. Strong fruity flavors.

On one hand, I really want to try the candy but on the other hand, Ralphs is a 7 mile walk and its supposed to be 105 tomorrow. I have to go to CVS anyway and CVS is on the way to Ralphs so I'll probably do it. Do you still shop at RA? I looked at their ad and I like the 10/30 coupon. Nature's Truth is bogo free and I have the $5/2 mq's. Some vitamins could be in my future. Do cats still print? I haven't been in RA since early Feb. My local stores all closed and the closest RA is 45 minutes away but I might be out that way on Wednesday. I wonder if they have any stock. The last I heard, the stores were empty.

follow up on my WAGs saga:
the good news, I don't have a new DS to learn or store money to roll

the bad news, the hours I spent making scenarios, checking DQs and prices were for naught

this week I had 8wc wys $35 so I found $35 worth of stuff AC to combine with monthly 5wc wys $10
9found it online)
and in the store, either OOS or prices different.

If I spent $10, I'd at least have earned the $5 monthly but after wandering the aisles 3 times, I was done.
The vitamin I wanted, confirmed online was in stock, didn't even have a place for that BRAND, let alone the item
I'm out of pb, Jif is $1 off. Online said reg. 4.49, on sale 3.49
The shelf tag in the store was 4.99 - so was I to presume on sale 3.99

Not worth it.

Reminds me of an old joke, where a woman goes to a butcher shop for pork chops advertised .99, but there were none so she went to another butcher down the street and complained about his price.
This butcher asks her if the first shop had any, and she said "no".
He says "I'd be glad to sell you something I don't have for .99, too".

So Jack got the axe last night. His mistake was in not eliminating Victoria when he had the chance. I'm still looking good with Lilly and Andy as my picks but Victoria and Nina are super strong players. I don't have a good read on Christopher and Marcel. Dillian self-destructed which is the only thing saving Bismah from elimination. I'm curious as to how the show is going to end with 8 players left and only 3 more episodes. Will 6 players be left for the final show? Will it just be an hour? Will they change the game at the end? I'll be bummed when the show is over. There are things they could improve on but overall it's been fun to watch. The one thing I don't understand is at the end of each show they have two players who are The Anonymous and one of the other players is selected to go home. How does that work? I don't think that they ever explained it.

I last shopped at Rite Aid in early June and congratulated myself for getting out at the right time. That store is still there, but in a part of town I have no other reason to visit and not much stock, so I've had enough of trying not to let my BC expire. Even when everybody else got cats, I didn't. Very rarely got some kind of a coupon, but never the $x/$x everybody else was getting, so even if I'd been there lately, I wouldn't be much help on that score. I think all Rite Aids are pretty sadly stocked.

I almost got sucked back in. Got $2 from BCC that finally paid out. I called CS, and I think they did straighten out the problem with pick-up orders. Involved deleting a duplicate account, so when I next visited the website, it gave me $10BC for completing my profile. Then they gave me 3000 points for a survey. If they'd had the $10/$30 or a good pick up code before the BC expired, I may not have been able to resist, but they didn't. I have family that lives where there is still a convenient (but pretty empty) Rite Aid, and my youngest sister was definitely the right person for the job of spending my bonus cash and thinking she's having a lot of silly fun spending it wisely. She's not really a Rite Aid shopper--thinks coming up with a $50 deal is way beyond her--but she's a shopper who looks for a deal. We've still got $4 worth of points left that will be good almost until Christmas, so we're holding off on converting it in hopes they'll restock the store.

There's a good chance I'll be moving over there in a year or so, so if Rite Aid survives, I'll likely shop there again, but otherwise, I'm done.
