Q's CVS Lounge

6,510 5,400 October 6, 2015 at 03:21 PM in Cool (4) CVS
I changed the name of the thread because I think that Q's CVS Lounge gives a better representation of what the thread is about. This isn't a deals thread although I will sometimes be posting deals. I'll probably talk more about Transylvania and the stock market than I will about the drugstores but the main thing is that is that I want this to be a cool place to hang out.

Yesterday I heard a RA employee say she was happy with the buyout news, she thought it would be great for the employees. Maybe she wants to work at the Wags across the street? I can't figure out why she was so excited.
I think RA pays less than CVS and Wags and RA employees also get less medical benefits. I was talking to someone at RA yesterday and she said that she makes $10
and hour and she's been there forever. They published the CFO's salary yesterday due to an increased bonus structure. It was around 3 million before bonuses. If the RA employee gets 40 hours a week (which she probably doesn't) she would make $20,000 a year which is 1/300th of what the CFO makes when you include everything.

I was just going to post about CVS earnings report.

There will be a bunch of inserts this weekend. Might be ok to get papers..
I went over the insert preview and the CVS and RA ads. I like the Tresemme q's (one for shampoo/conditioner and one for stylers). Pantene would be good at RA if the bogo will stack with the $4/2 on 4 items (I'm sure it won't), the $4 Centrum maybe (again at RA), $2 Pose (don't really need, I have Kotex for CVS but I will have to explore the RA deal), $1 Caress (got a $2 Caress crt from CVS this week), and that's all I see for q's I'm likely to use. There are some other good q's but it's not coming out to be a good investment from what I see. I'd have to bank on getting a couple of surprise deals that I can use the other q's on. Just don't know if I want to do that. If I didn't get papers, I could still do a lot of the deals (such as they are). No sale this week. Sale next week to clean out the garage and then that's it for the year or maybe permanently. I need to make a decision tonight about if I'm going back into books. If I decide yes, I'll spend the weekend going through my storage units (what fun). My main concern is not getting ripped off on shipping (chargebacks and things like that).

So, did you decide to go back into books?

I ended up buying papers so I'll shop tomorrow and then we'll see from that point. I can be ready to go in 2 days if I decide to go ahead with books. Fortunately, my storage is very organized so that part of it should be fairly quick.

I went to staples today and bought paper, I read that the cheap paper after rebate deals are going to stop soon.
I wish I was organized.

That's a bummer. I haven't been to Staples since May when I got a new laser jet printer and toner (or whatever it's called) and a bunch of free copy paper. It' still all sitting there in the closet.

Not my thing. I shop because I love doing the math in my head. If I had to print coupons, I'd be done. Clipping coupons isn't a whole lot of fun but I can find a nice shady tree, crank up the stereo, and get through it.

I hate printing coupons. It never works out right. I haven't printed an IP in over 6 months. I'll print a store coupon every now and then but that's about it...

Have all the haggens closed in your area? I think I might check a few out next week to see what the clearance prices are.

No, nothing has happened. The judge must've blocked the store closings.

Igor hates Halloween. It's the only night of the year where Igor looks normal.

I was hoping for some good deals at Fresh & Easy, but it seems most of the shelves were cleared at 10-30% off.

Living in CA it's difficult to tell when people are wearing costumes.
