Sorry, I misunderstood what people are saying about how Coupon24 works.
I finally got some super cheap baby wipes from Vons this morning. I already used my $5 off $5 J4U so I had to pay the sale price of $1 ea. Still a great deal. I was going to get Huggies wipes but I don't like how they come out of the package. It's hard to get just one without ripping it.
I read that CVS is giving us double coupons. That would make the Tide deal $6 for the 84oz Tide, 25 ct Tide pods, and Dawn powerwash. I'm really glad that the CVS IT dept is on the job keeping couponing safe for all of us.
It seems like every time that CVS tries to fix a problem that doesn't exist, they make it 10x worse. Now I've got to use my phone if I want to shop at CVS. I have a hard time with phones. I have bad eyesight and neuropathy in my hands. I can use a laptop but I can't really use a phone other than a landline. I guess no more CVS for me. Today starts the process of spending my EB's. At this point, I don't care what I get. I just want out and hopefully I will be in an hour or two. I've been thru a lot with CVS. The switch to digital has been very hard on me since I don't print IP's or do Ibotta. I've found a way to keep it going but Coupon24 is one obstacle too many. I love fast food but when everything went to app coupons I stopped going. I'll survive without CVS.
I found Grove Co hand soap, all three flavors down to 44 cents from $4.49 unmarked.

I think most of the Xmas clearance is gone now. I hope y'all got some decent deals.
I know ecbs and sales can make CVS worth doing, but it was quite a shock.

I've moved to buying soda at Dollar General. They have a $5/$25 in their app for Saturdays, and then $5/$25 coupons sometimes print at the bottom of their receipts for the following Saturdays. They have had some awesome deals on Coke. Some weeks they have had 3 12 packs for $13. Add that to $12 more and I'm paying a little over $21 with tax, or during those weeks I could get 6 12 packs for a little over $22 with tax.

I saw the new documentary about Charles Manson on Netflix and I came up with a theory that's a little different from everything else that's out there if anybody wants to hear it. I was watching Mindhunter last night and they interviewed Tex Watson (season 2, episode 5) and he said that the Tate house wasn't the only place they were going that night. That blew my mind. Where else were they going? I researched it and Watson really did say that.
I started my day off on a negative note thanks to Vons. I went to Vons last night and they were out to almost everything I wanted and I had to spend more than I planned. I went early this morning to get bagels and some frozen food that's in new ad. The bagels were burned as usual and frozen food had ice all over it. So typical for my Vons. Everything is out of stock, all of the frozen food has freezer burn, and the bagels taste awful because the baker really sucks. The Vons 5 miles away from me always has great bagels and their freezer works perfectly. 10 miles is too far for me to walk and if I go by bus the trip will take me almost 3 hours. Plus it's raining today. My Vons is right across the street. It sucks that my Vons is so poorly managed. All of the young guys there have hair down to their waist and the store manager is in his 60's and he has long hair. No hair nets on any of them and they're handling everybody's food. I feel like I'm in Haight Ashbury in the 60's when I go in there. One guy looks like Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull. I expect him to pull out his flute and start playing Locomotive Breath. I have nothing against long hair. I used to have long hair myself. Most people my age did but it's totally unprofessional to be working at a grocery store with wild hair down to the middle of your back. Some of the older guys look like Charles Manson. Corporate comes into the store all of the time. I wonder how the SM gets away with doing such a poor job. This is a huge store and it's always really busy. Customers buy the bagels and frozen food but it's not an acceptable quality level especially at the outrageous prices they charge.
