The CVS Game - Week 2 Part 2

So I stopped by CVS on my way home from work last night to straighten out the problem.  What I discovered is that I didn't read the "fine" print (that wasn't that fine).  The ad was BOGO for VALUE SIZE vitamins.  Since the Fish Oil wasn't value size, it didn't qualify for the BOGO or for the Gas Card purchase. 

Lesson Learned:  READ THE AD CAREFULLY!

However, the manager was VERY nice and made me an offer.  He said I could return the Fish Oil that I had bought and purchase a value size one.  I told him that unfortunately, I had already opened it and started using it.  So he made me another offer:  buy two more BOGO vitamin items and he would throw in the $9 spent on the other one towards the free gas card!  WOW!!!

So, I headed to the back of the store and purchased two more Vitamin D VALUE SIZE bottles for $17 (BOGO).  That plus the $4 for the previous Vit D and the $9 for the previous Fish Oil brought my total to the $30 needed for the free gas card.  So he gave me the gas card!  So, all in all, not a bad deal - IF I end up using all of the Vitamin D I purchased.  I essentially spent $17 (that I might not have otherwise spent) to get $10.  We'll see....

Also, I needed to pick up some milk since we ran out today and CP didn't make it to Aldi's.  I nearly choked when I saw how much a gallon of milk was at CVS - $3.86!!!!!!  A gallon at Aldi's is $2.49 EVERY DAY!!! Needless to say, I bought a half-gallon for $2.90 since CP is heading to Aldi's today.
