There are good and bad things about where we are staying in Miami:

The good includes CVS is basically across the street.
The CVS is a 24 hour store.
The Walgreens is six blocks down and also a 24 hour store.

The bad includes – taxes, taxes, and more taxes! Nearly everything I have purchased, including medicine, newspaper and food, has tax. The CoQ10 at Walgreens today somehow was missed by the Florida state department of taxation. An oversight I am sure. My order at CVS today (see below) would have been a quarter back in NYS, but it was $1 here due to all the tax. Yesterday at WalMart the tax was over $9!! It truly is crazy how much sales tax there is down here (getting the tourists to contribute I suppose).

I was at CVS at about 7:30 this morning. This store had a cashier just wandering around and three shelf check-outs. This is the first time I have used a CVS self check-out and it was as temperamental as all self check-outs seem to be.

My CVS order:

(1) Zarbee $6
(1) Blistex $2
(1) Newspaper $2
(1) Newspaper $1.50
= $11.50
- $11.25 ECB from a prior time
= 25¢ and I received (1) $6 ECB and one (1) $1 ECB

Then we wandered down to Walgreens where I purchased:

(1) Factor Nutrition Labs Ubiquinol CoQ10 (30ct) $10 (regular price $31.99!? WOW!)
- $10 MIR
= $0.00

and I have $7 ECB to use at another time.

So, how did your Sunday Morning Shopping go? Were you out bright and early? Sleep in? Find a deal we should all run out for?

Hubby decided he wanted to go shopping today. At WalMart. Did you hear the screams as I was dragged into the store? Well, believe me, there was good reason for my er, “fussing”.

Remember my Costco experience? This rivaled that.

The condo we are renting is a little short on lighting and workspace. Hubby decided we needed a desk, and as an alternative I suggested a folding banquet table so we could take it home with us when we leave (the desk would have to be left behind). We stopped into Office Depot and picked that up. In and out, no problems.

Then hubby decides that since we are right next door to WalMart, we should pick up the few household products the condo needs to make our stay a bit easier – two lights, a dish drain and we wanted two laundry baskets.

I, in the interest of keeping the peace while on holiday, said, “ok” even though I hate shopping, and I most especially hate shopping on a Saturday.

My agreement was a very bad move.

We head into WalMart at approximately 11:00 am on a Saturday in Miami. Us and 457,312 other people.

Side note: I didn’t know there were McDonald’s in WalMart!

The aisles are crowded, and everyone blocks you from getting through with their cart – including hubby with his %$#!@ cart. When we entered the store, hubby decided on housewares first then gets distracted by a cooler, some auto things and who knows what else. If it was shiny and cheap, he was interested.

In the meantime, my toes have been run over at least twice.

The perils of sandals.

Then we head over to the grocery aisles.

They are jammed packed. You’d think they were giving away stuff. There are demo people, some coupons (that was a shocker), TV screens with paid manufacturer advertising on the endcaps! And through it all, people, people and more people!

Then, when we went to the check-out lanes, hubby broke the cardinal rule and picked the shortest check-out lane. Now, this store had 26 check-outs, and only 14 were staffed. All had lines out the wazzo, except one. So hubby chose that lane. Doesn’t he know that when 14 lanes are open and 13 have long lines and one lane is noticeably shorter it is seldom because the cashier is quick? It is shorter because the cashier is slow, mean and/or has no personality and the regulars know this, and avoid said cashier.

This one was slow and grunted at the end.

I watched long line after long line check out twice as fast (no baggers, they have the bag carousels) while we stood there and watched personality-plus toss (yup, toss) groceries into plastic bags.

When our turn finally arrived, we had been in line over 15 minutes. When we entered the line, there were three carts ahead of us, and she was in the process of checking someone out. Not one person used a coupon. Not one person cashed a check. No one had a cart more than half filled. I have never seen someone move so slowly in my life.

When we got into the car at 12:30 approximately $75 poorer, hubby announced he wanted to go to Goodwill to look for a pan. As I cackled hysterically, and he wisely figured that was a no-go for me. Since Goodwill was 2 minutes away, he ran in and out. He said it was the nicest thrift store he’d ever been in, and it was set up like a department store! I found that curious, but not curious enough to go inside.

So ends another thrilling shopping day for the Coupons, Deals and More household while on location in Miami. I just can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.

Since I do a round-up of all sorts of other printable coupons, I decided to do a Smart Source coupon round-up this morning!

The only place I “must” go tomorrow is CVS. I have bucks expiring on the 7th and I do not want to lose them.

But, I am definitely going to Walgreens too. You can’t beat free after rebate stuff!

If you have +ups expiring, there are a few semi-decent deals at Rite Aid.

If you use cereal, Tops has a great deal going tomorrow. You basically get your purchase price (after coupons) back in gasoline!

Here is the list of Wegmans extended sale price deals. Nothing too thrilling to me.

A&P and Pathmark have a few good deals if you are in the area.

Looks like I’ll be walking to CVS and Walgreens tomorrow morning. They are so close, I could throw a stone and hit them! I definitely want to check out the Publix ad too. I am always jealous of the sales when I see them, and now that I have the opportunity to shop there this month, I’d like to give it a go a few times!

Thank you so much for your participation!

So we were making a list of stuff to buy for meals yesterday. We are starting from nothing (I do not want to see this grocery bill), except for a box of spices hubby managed to fit in the car on the drive down.

So I am writing down, yogurt and bananas on the list when hubby suggests bread and luncheon meat. No problem, sounds good. Then he says, “Mustard and mayo? Or you know what? We are going to be eating out quite a bit, how about if we just grab a few handfuls of take-out squeeze packs instead?”

Now I know none of you ever do what hubby is suggesting (and yes, he was kidding), but do you save take out squeeze packets and use them at a later time? Sugar packets from the coffee shop? And no, I am not asking about handfuls, I hope no one here is that excessive. I am talking about 2-3 extra. Or the 12 million sauces that are included in Chinese take-out.

Walgreens $5/$35 Coupon

Head over to their facebook page, like them and get a $5/$35 coupon in your email (the one attached to your facebook account)

It burped for me, but maybe you will have better luck… or you could be one of the people screaming scam on their facebook page if you have an issue (I never understand this, everything is YMMV online)

expires 2/15/12

The beginning of the month is usually the best time to print cereal coupons, and then bank them for later in the month when the sales finally catch up. I do not advise waiting, because when you need them, inevitably the “good” cereal denominations will be gone.

Below are what is available currently. You will notice duplicates, but they are all considered different links for you to print once or twice.
