CVS Adventures This Week

I want everyone to know that although the goal is to save money it really is the love of "game" that keeps us going to the stores to get these deals. I read a blog this week where a women had showed her husband something she had gotten at a store for free. Later he asked her for the third time how she got that free. He just could not believe that she could get something like that for free. (I don't remember what it was) Anyway sometimes I feel like that, how in the world am I getting this for free? Then I feel kinda guilty, shouldn't I be paying for this? Then is transcends into giddy delight as I understand I just one upped the man! Funny but true. The game is get the stuff you need, the things you want or want to try and stockpile the stuff you will need in the future so you don't have to pay full price later when you need it.

Here is my CVS adventures for today. I knew that when I got around to going to the store today it would be raining and I wasn't let down. Poured on me. And I am one funny sight running into anywhere!
