This was a really fun transaction for me.

I was tired, very tired, and ready to go home. And it was hot.

As I walked in I was thinking how nice it would be to enjoy Starbucks iced coffee from the Starbucks in the front of Target, but all my empty Starbucks bags were at home (each specially marked bag can be redeemed for a free cup of Starbucks coffee at Starbucks.)

Besides that, we were all out of Starbucks coffee.

I checked to see if the coffee was on sale. Yes, $6.99. (Best price I ever see is $5.99.)

After I purchased the coffee, I went back in the store. I now had my "coupon" (empty Starbucks bag) for my free iced coffee. I just needed something to put my Starbucks coffee in. How could I safely get my coffee home out of the bag? A produce bag was the answer. I opened my Starbucks coffee, poured it in an empty produce bag (actually I double bagged it for safe keeping) and voila, I could now redeem my empty Starbucks bag for a delicious cup of iced coffee, which I enjoyed very much!

You will need to get a CVS extra care card to take advantage of all the deals at CVS. Just fill out the form at the register and you will be issued a card that you can use immediately. My CVS store has a red price scanning machine that prints out coupons when you scan your CVS card.

On this day I received a coupon for fifty cents off a Milky Way caramel candy bar. I looked at the coupon when I got in the car, remembering having seen some candy bars on sale 2 for $1. I was tired. I really wanted to go home. I got out of the car, walked back in, found the Milky Way caramel candy bar on sale 2 for $1, and bought it with the coupon.
