Note: After a long wait, I finally got my Colgate Travel Bag with travel sized Colgate-Palmolive items and coupons. I first got a letter stating I didn't do the offer correctly because I didn't have UPCs. Well, I did have the UPCs written on the receipt and wrote them back about how terrible it is not to get what was promised. I had no idea if I would ever get the travel bag, but I did :) Yippie!

On Friday, Tommy & I drove to Playalinda Beach, FL, near the Cape Canaveral National Seashore to get as close to the two shuttles as possible. The next launch is May 12th, or possibly May 11th at 2:01 pm, and the mission is to do a final service for the Hubble Space Telescope. Since the Hubble is in a completely different orbit than the International Space Station, NASA keeps another shuttle and crew at the ready while they are in orbit for emergency preparedness. Normally the shuttle could reach the ISS for safety or use it in the event they needed a lifeboat.

GRAND TOTAL: Bought $128.31 worth of merchandise at a cost of 1.01 which is 99.2% savings!

Shampoo anyone?? Seriously? Perhaps I should start another Sally Beauty Supply...Anyways, my favorite CVS cashier is amazing. Tonight I had no IDEA they would have all this stock at my STORE! Yes, I did all this at one store. They love it b/c I make so many sales for them. But, I hadn't printed enough coupons. So what did she do? She let me reuse the ones I had so I could get the deal, then I went home afterwards and printed the extras and brought them to her. I love, love, love this store! I wouldn't have ever asked any other cashier, but this is why it pays to know people by name, greet them, ask how they are doing, find out about their kids, and give them Christmas presents!
