Are you a money trasher?
If you don't have a CVS card. You should get one, it will save you some dimes.
FROM THE EMAIL
The driver, a young man in a Brioni® suit, Gucci® shoes, RayBan® sunglasses and YSL® tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"
Bud looks at the man, who obviously is a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, why not?"
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell® notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3® cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.
The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop® and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany ...
Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot® that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL® database through an ODBC connected Excel® spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry® and, after a few minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet® printer, turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."
"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says Bud.
He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.
Then Bud says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"
"You're a Congressman for the U.S. Government", says Bud.
"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"
"No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about how working people make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep.

What can you buy with one dollar at Wal-Mart this week.?
If you bought 4 Sunday papers like I did, you have 4 Cover Girl coupons that say buy 2 Cover Girl products and get $8.00 off.
Did you know the Cheekers Blush is $3.74 so when you buy 2 that is $7.48.
Wal-Mart gives you the overage so you are making 52 cents with every 2 you buy.
They are paying you to take them out the door....
I bought 8 of the Cheekers Blush. I also bought 2 Tic Tac breath mints. They were price at 1.04 ea. I had the $1.00 off coupon that came with Sundays paper, buy 2 get $1.00 off.
The clerk rang them up: Subtotal before coupons was $32.00, after coupons were taken off I paid less than the sales tax would have been. The sales tax was $2.15.
What I paid was $1.15
If you have your Sunday paper, and you haven't looked at the coupons, this is a great deal.
It's a good way to save some dimes.
