Awesome CVS Trip!! 6/21

Ummm total for all this $0.00 oop!!!

I did not even pay them 1 penny...

I don't think I've ever done that before, but I like it!!!

This is the 6/21 sale.

Did you know that most CVS's start their sale on Saturday night? I think ours usually starts around 6pm. If you try it, just ask them when you go in if they're on next week's sale.

ECB should print just fine!

***

For this deal I paid with 25 ecb and got back 24 so everything here cost me 1 ecb!!

To see all the CVS deals go here.

***

I used a $10/$50. (I love those, even tho I rarely get them)

I thought I would let you know exactly what I got in case you have a $10./$50. and don't know how to maximize it. Keep in mind if you don't have around 25 ecb right now this deal will cost you more oop this time. I usually like to keep around 25 ecb to work with. And at my CVS they never expire so I never have to worry about rolling them. It makes it very easy.

See Kai Run Shoes Review and Giveaway!

I was once again so excited when I heard

that See Kai Run was going to send my little one a

brand new pair of shoes!

3 Things set their shoes apart

** Ultra-Flexible soles

** Soft leather

** Wide toe box

They were so cute and most importantly my 3 yr. LOVES them. He has worn them almost exclusively since we got them 10 days ago. Which to me means they must be very comfortable. In the past we have had trouble with sandals giving him blisters on the sides of his chubby little feet. Not this pair, No blisters and he has never complained of any pain at all! Another great plus is that they are easy to put on, he can do it himself!! (We just need to work on right and left!)

***

These shoes are made from Sheepskin leather. They are so soft and completely bendable. You can wipe them clean and they have held up beautifully. I'm sure this is a pair he'll be able to pass on to another little boy when he grows out of them.

***

This company has a cool story behind them too...

She gave birth to a little boy named Kai in 2002. Two years later she launched the company "See Kai Run". How cool!! She saw the need for comfortable and flexible shoes for her little guys feet to grow in. I believe she did a great job!

To meet Kai and read more visit here!
***

They have 2 lines of shoes. The "Smaller" line has shoes that

go up to size 18 mo.

and the "See Kai Run" line goes up to size toddler 9.

If you're looking for bigger sizes they also have link to a sister company called "Eleven" on their website.

****

******

**********

The Giveaway!!!

Yep See Kai Run has generously agreed to have a giveaway!

If you are the winner you will get to pick

any pair you'd like from either their "Smaller" line or the

"See Kai Run " line.

**

If you don't have kids that can wear size toddler 9 or smaller still enter and just give them away! I'd be thrilled if someone just handed me a pair of shoes for my kiddo!

In His Word Wednesday -- Commit

Proverbs 16: 3-4 says

***

Commit to the Lord whatever you do,

and your plans will succeed.

The Lord works out everything for his own ends--

even the wicked for a day of disaster.

***

If we put everything into God's hands and commit it to him,

it's a great comfort to know that however it turns out,

it is how the Lord wanted.

I try to pray daily that the Lord's will be done, not mine.

Funny Story --

As soon as my cashier saw that I had $2. Dry Idea coupons she stopped. "I can't do that" she said. "What, you can't take my coupons" I asked. She said "Well are you using the .99 cent Walgreens coupon"? "Yes" I replied. She said "well then I can't take your coupons, I can't take a $2. coupon off of a .99 cent item." Me "Yea you can this coupon is worth $2. and it doesn't matter what sale the store is running". Her "No I won't do it, I turned someone else down earlier." Me "Oh well then just cancel my whole order because this coupon is worth $2., your store is GOING to get paid $2. from this company." Her " Well we can't do it... I'll call the manager and he can explain it to you". "Okay that would be great" I said. Manager comes, we explain and he says "Yea we can do that, why can't we. I would want to be able to use it if it were my coupon. Did the register not take it?" I said "She didn't try" . So he did the transaction with out any problems. All the while she's standing behind him saying "I just don't understand".

***

The thing she really doesn't understand is that I was calmly and "happily" going to walk out of there purchasing NOTHING, which means Walgreens lost money.

**

Sometimes cashiers think they're looking out for their store by not accepting coupons when actually they're costing them money. It's like they're refusing cold hard cash. Which is what a coupon is to a store!!
***

Hmm was I on my soap box??? I guess I'm writing a book...

I'm glad I'm blessed with good manager's, he could have just as easily been as clueless as she and deny using my coupons!

**

If you're new I tell you this story so that you can be aware that you will be questioned and sometimes denied when you shouldn't be. Explain as I did and hopefully it will work out. If not, just smile and know that another deal is on the Horizon!! Or look for another store with a different manager!!!
