First CVS trip.

My CVS trip was a little disappointing for 3 reasons. First because I went to Slidell LA and the sales tax is 1.75% higher, making it 8.75%. That raised my planned spending right there. They also have a city tax of 4.75%.  So instead of paying 7% that I pay in MS I paid 13.5% sales tax!  No I am not kidding how ridiculous is that????

Also, the deodorant I bought was $1.20 more than I had planned, on someone elses blog they had it listed for $3.29 each and it was $4.49 in LA. And finally ... the 3 razors I was going to buy has a limit 1 per household on the ad.

So Instead of the $11.04 I was planning on spending on $80 something $$$ worth of goodies, I spent $12.82 and got 2 less razors! I know confusing, but if you coupon you would understand. oh well... here is my loot for the day. I got $61.78 worth of stuff for $12.82 and savings of $48.96! (remember CVS is more than Walmart so the total savings will seem higher for that reason)
