    Default I'm tired of shopping

    Am I allowed to say that here without getting booted out?

    My husband asked what is up with all of the toothpaste. I am going to have to rearrange things to make space for the stuff I brought home today and the stuff from previous trips that is still sitting out.

    Trip to CVS got me $20.95 of items for $0 OOP and $13.98 ECB back.

    Two trips to WAGS netted me $71.95 for $18.65 and got 3 RR plus I need to do the electrosol rebate thingy.

    Basically $92 for less than $1 if you put it all together. Not bad.

    Wow, you did great today! I came home with 2 more tubes of toothpaste as well today and my husband said the same thing. He's wondering if we'll live long enough to use it all!

    my DH asked me how much shampoo we need today. I told him as long as it's dirt cheap or free we need it! He saw my point.

    Default T.paste and expiration dates

    Thats great! I'm swimming in t.paste but funny thing is that I keep donating and donating to the women's shelter. They are going to wonder why the t.paste lady is at it again. Speaking of t.paste I was looking at the boxes and noticed most all expire in 2010 but I found 4 boxes that say Dec. 7, 92. Do you think this is an error? Could they really be 17 years old? The boxes are really new looking. Just wondered if I should donate or ask CVS ? Not sure how expiration dates on t.paste work.

    Yes, it's ok to say that. lol

    I've been giving toothpaste to my BF and a friend at work who is in bad financial shape, as well as keeping some for the shelter and for me.
    Can always use cheese, high fiber product, soup and razor Q's

    A friend of mine told me she bought one of those storage things for the bathroom w/the drawers and she puts all of her toothpaste, deod and stuff in it. I am starting to think along those lines myself, no more room under the 3 bathroom sink cabinets, or on the shelf over the washer, dryer . I need to put a bag together for my son and his family though I already have the 4 boxes of throat coolers..guess I will add some toothpaste and shampoo and maybe a deod or 2..although I am running low on deod hope there are some freebees on them soon

    I was just thinking that we are swimming in toothpaste and shampoo! Nice shampoo, too! I have been donating to my sis, but under my sink is still completely packed. Isn't it nice to have PLENTY?

    ^^ Ya know, mom, my DH likes to complain about 'all the money' I'm spending, **big roll of the eyes**, but when he comes downstairs to pick out his shaving cream, snacks and such - he's not complaining then.......

    I saw the title of this thread and just started laughing!

    I have been shopping a lot more than usual too, but I am having so much fun scoring great deals that I don't think I'll get sick of it for a while.

    Storage is an issue for me too...I still have 10 boxes of Electrasol and 8 boxes of cereal on the kitchen counter from my trip to Wags yesterday. I have no idea where they are going to go... I guess that's a small price to pay for getting great deals! Get it...small price...hahaha! Ok, well I tried!
    Couponing is the bomb. Tick, tick, boom!
