CVS - Again!

It's no big surprise that CVS really is one of my favorite stores. I had intended to purchase items at Rite Aid also, but apparently at the Rite Aid near our apartment, and I quote the manager "the women come in when we open and buy armfuls of the freebies". When I mentioned that the rebate is only 1 per household, he said that they give them to their neighbors and stuff. Not fair! They were completely out of the free after rebates skin cleansers. I'll probably try another store before the week is out, oh well.

I stopped at 2 CVS stores today, armed with coupons and match-ups and of course, there was another upset. Does anyone know if any CVS in the DC-Metro area carry the St. Ives elements line? I was hoping to do the St. Ives deal but I couldn't find the items at either of the stores that I went to! With the buy 1 get 1 free coupon and the other $1/1 coupon it would have been a money maker, but I couldn't find the items so I wasn't able to complete the deal. Anyway...

$5.99 1 Covergirl TrueBlend foundation (got the one that was the most expensive usually)
$2.99 Covergirl eyeshadow
