    I’m checking out the Pepsi rebate and I Swagged.

    But I had a sweet surprise at CVS. When I scanned my card at the machine I got a coupon for $2 off Orbit gum, the 3 pack. Then I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Orbit Gum was on sale for $2. Well, then I had to run to the car for something else and my son found another coupon that I got from last week, also for the Orbit gum. …..Yes, my 5 yr old thought the long sheet of coupons from the machine last week was so cool and used it as a train ticket, it was my 2yr old that found it for me though 😉 Anyway, that was 2 FREE 3 count packs. Woo! Hoo!
