DELICIOUS!! Not sure...Try the oatmeal at Starbucks. DELICIOUS!! Not sure how much I pay for it (probably not as cheap as McD's) but sooooo worth it...and I'm not even an oatmeal person! They give you the cup of oatmeal plus a brown bag filled with 3 mini bags - one has dried fruit, one has nuts and the other is filled with brown sugar. You can customize your own oatmeal, adding what you want and exactly how much of it you want. I use all the fruit and brown sugar; the bag of nuts goes into my purse for a snack for me or the kids if we're ever in a pinch. (I'd use it in the oatmeal - lots of good protien - but it's kind of high in fat. I think it's 10 grams/bag.) Anyway, just thought I'd spread the word. Your McD's oatmeal looked absolutely dreadful. I just had the Startbucks one for lunch at work today. Wish I had noticed this post earlier or I would have taken a picture. It looks like it's advertised. And tastes just as good. Sometimes, that's worth paying a bit more for, right? _Kimberly PhillipsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572311185483210053.post-54726594813404168032011-01-08T21:57:07.479-06:002011-01-08T21:57:07.479-06:00That's interesting, I get the Dallas Morning N...That's interesting, I get the Dallas Morning News and mine had the Finish and the Wisk. I wonder if the provider in Austin has different coupons just because it's in Austin rather than Dallas. I searched 6 Walgreens this week (including today) and never found the Finish, so I'm going to take advantage of a similar deal at CVS this coming week. And funny - all the Walgreens here had the Jet Dry!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113135929773685754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572311185483210053.post-7510771394356747042011-01-07T22:08:53.850-06:002011-01-07T22:08:53.850-06:00I bought the Dallas paper down here in Austin, and...I bought the Dallas paper down here in Austin, and it only had one teensy coupon insert. No Wisk 2 dollar coupon and no Finish. I was bummed, but I'm still going to try stockpiling with RRs. Still could be a great deal. I need Jet Dry, too, but my Walgreens never seems to get it. After seeing a few cycles, good automatic dishwasher deals are hard to find.mtrenthamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09854261021693401013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572311185483210053.post-46846146607721622182010-12-01T12:05:51.155-06:002010-12-01T12:05:51.155-06:00I know a couple of guys who need to stock up on th...I know a couple of guys who need to stock up on this item.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05359643063053735891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572311185483210053.post-73921085488081714242010-11-13T19:27:48.437-06:002010-11-13T19:27:48.437-06:00Well the drugstore deals actually start ON thanksg...Well the drugstore deals actually start ON thanksgiving, so I don't know about this whole waking up early thing!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113135929773685754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572311185483210053.post-8935604158048809172010-11-13T08:31:12.392-06:002010-11-13T08:31:12.392-06:00what time are we getting up? think we can get the ...what time are we getting up? think we can get the boys to go with us? where is breakfast? inquiring minds need to knowUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05359643063053735891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572311185483210053.post-11211117797396864922010-11-07T20:03:03.034-06:002010-11-07T20:03:03.034-06:00spaghetti sauce???spaghetti sauce???Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05359643063053735891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572311185483210053.post-7956765107418774802010-10-18T16:08:06.534-05:002010-10-18T16:08:06.534-05:00welcome i sooo glad it helped! you can sign up for...welcome i sooo glad it helped! you can sign up for emails too and they have HUGE sales that only you can get through email. i will buy an extra pair when i have the time to start looking if they are cheap. i am soo glad i could help! let me know if you like them as much as i do!Brittanynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572311185483210053.post-25349221333620162942010-10-15T14:21:05.114-05:002010-10-15T14:21:05.114-05:00Thanks Brittany!

Are you purchasing things from the current weekly ad that say they should be producing ECB's? If so, and they aren't printing, you need to say something to the cashier right then and there. If however, you are just doing your regular shopping and not buying the specific items from the ad that are supposed to be producing ECB's, that would explain why you aren't getting any until the end of the quarter. For example, this week at CVS, certain Revlon lipsticks are producing ECB's. If you buy one of those varieties, an ECB should print on your receipt. If it does not, then you should ask your cashier what the problem is. If you are just buying milk or eggs or some necessity like that, an ECB will not print. It is only for items specified in the ad to print ECB's. Does that help explain it a bit better?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113135929773685754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572311185483210053.post-29285974748710173362010-09-21T18:34:43.534-05:002010-09-21T18:34:43.534-05:00Can I ask you a question?

I always have to wait until after the quarter. How is it that you get them right away?<br /><br />-AbbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572311185483210053.post-53271982927521187922010-09-14T22:17:21.232-05:002010-09-14T22:17:21.232-05:00I'm in the same boat!

There are some decent deals to be found this week at Walgreens and CVS. I'll be doing my shopping on Monday or Tuesday (was out of town all weekend) and will post my trips soon after. The last two weeks I didn't post my trips because I really didn't buy much to show! Things just haven't been phenomenal lately.
