Mountain Dew, etc.


So tonight I went to CVS. Just to let everyone know I get all my information from http://www.iheartcvs.com/ It is an amazing website. Above is what I bought tonight. I did four different transactions. A little bit on CVS ettiquette. If your going to do more than 1 transaction, don't stand there in the line and hold everyone up, that's rude. Just my opinion. Oh yeah, and another thing, all the planning in the world won't work if they don't have what you want in stock.

  • 1 Mountain Dew 2 Liter 1.25
  • 1 Mountain Dew 12 pk 3.00

First post

So I thought I would start a blog. Mainly I will be posting about my CVS addiction, but like everyone there will be times when I will need to vent or whatever. I want people to see how to get tons of free stuff that they would not typically buy for themselves. I have lots of fun while shopping at CVS and giving away stuff to my family and friends.
