CVS Shopping 6-22


So I purchased 20- Seattle's Best Coffee FREE coupons off Ebay for about $4.50- They actually didn't cost me anything because I used a gift certificate to pay for them. I figured these would be great to stock up on for our trip coming up a nice 17 hour drive =). When I got to the store I went and checked to see if they had any of these drinks and they did- a fully stocked shelf. I figured I'd asked the cashier before I wasted my time getting 20 drinks out of the cooler if he would let me use all of my coupons (this particular cashier can sometimes be a pain in the butt). I made sure I was really nice when I asked and he pretty much told me no- then said the coupons said one coupon per purchase so I could only use one. I explained to him nicely that each item is considered a purchase and it does not say one per customer. He agreed to let me "try" it out and if it went through it would be fine. So I went and grabbed 4 our of the cooler along with the Shampoo/Conditioner and everything went fine. I asked him if I could go ahead and use the rest of my coupons and he said yes! I was excited because I really didn't want to have to keep going back to the store with both of the kids to use up all my coupons- I was really glad they let me use them all today! I just wanted to share this with you all to point out that- no I did not clear the shelf I left plenty for others & that if you are unsure of something always ask (nicely)! Here is everything I bought:

Wholesale Costume Club Review



Wholesale Costume Club is a brand new costume site that sells costumes for both children and adults. I don't know about you but I think Halloween costumes are WAY overpriced!! What I loved the most about Wholesale Costume Club was their prices they are very reasonable!

When you think of wholesale clubs you think of places that require you to buy items in bulk or that require a minimum order amount. You may also think about those high annual membership fees. This is NOT the case at Wholesale Costume Club. You don't even need to be a member, although for a very low $5 fee you can become a member and save even more on costumes. 

Wholesale Costume Club let me pick a costume of my choice to do a review on. My almost two year old ::tear:: is going through a Toy Story phase- everything is Toy Story around here these days! I was super excited to see the choices of Toy Story costumes available on their website. I chose for him the Boys Deluxe Toy Story 3 Woody Costume. I was so excited when it arrived and I saw that it was even a Disney Licensed product- not some knock-off. The costume is great quality and doesn't show any signs of wear even though my little guy has tried to wear it everyday since we received it!!



Wholesale Costume Club has such a HUGE selection of costumes. Anything I searched for they had- so I am sure there is something for EVERYONE that will fit into their budget! We will definitey be checking Whole Sale Costume Club for our Halloween costumes this year!! They even have enough choices on their website we might even do family costumes this year! (Sh! Don't tell my husband!!)
