when i went in with my camera a few days after noticing it, they were on sale. The singles at 3 for $5, the value pack "on sale" still at 5.49 but you get a cert for $3 off a future purchase, if there's something else you want to purchase for at least $3 before it expires in a couple of weeks. So, basically, although they say it's "Like paying 2.49", it is not, in fact, paying $2.49; it's paying $5.49.
To be fair, they do often have coupons and discounts that I use. Like, I recently got a cash register coupon for 25% off a future purchase of $20 or more. Jeez, when am I ever going to spend that much at CVS in one trip? But then I needed razor blades, and holy cow, a pack of 6 was $21. Voila, instant 25% sale on razor blades. (I didn't check, say, target or rite aid or safeway to compare prices. But based on experience I don't think that CVS is any worse normally.
funny. lol

ReplyDeleteI looked at this on Friday while at work and burst out laughing. No one really laughs there so it was a bit odd...but fun!
ReplyDeleteToo bad that no one ever laughs where you work! That's sad. Glad I could help, though. :-)
