What's nice, is between bottle returns and the two $6.00 CATS, I won't be spending much tomorrow.

I did get a raincheck for 12 Planters Peanut Butters (they had ONE jar of crunchy!) for 2/$3 and I have 2 coupons for $1.00 off each and 2 coupons for $.75. I need to see on the coupon preview if there's coupons for it tomorrow- if so, I'll get 2 papers, and I'll stop by on my way home from my comp day Tuesday to get them. :)
