A few slow weeks……

I haven’t posted much lately mainly because it’s been slow. But after Superdoubles and back to back weeks of triples at Superfresh, plus a big week at CVS, slow is good.

Tomorrow is another 4 day sale at Walgreen’s, get $5 RR when you spend $25. If you have the $5 rr from last week, you can use that & it will roll over. This week it’s Pepsi that is buy 15, get $5 rr, and I got both $5 rr last week with the coke and my $25 total. Maybelline is bogo, but I’m not sure how that will ring up as far as counting towards your $25 total. Would be nice if it counted and then came off at the end, but who knows.

Also, last week the PA Walgreen’s did these deals, but not Happy Harry’s. Sorry Delawareans. This time it’s you guys coming to our state to shop.

On Saturday, Santa will be at Avon News in Avondale from 1-3. Another great close hassle-free way to see Santa. I will do anything to avoid a mall in December. They also have a nice selection of gifty things, like teacher/babysitter type gifts, so be sure to look around. It’s also a PA lottery center, so why not take a chance? Someone has to win, right?

Acme, Walgreen’s and more……….

One more day left for the spend $25 get $5 deal at wags. The $5 you get back will roll, if you want to do another transaction. And, most couponers are reporting that the $25 is before coupons. So get a total up to $25, bring it as far down as you can with coupons, and get $5 back. Then you can turn around and do it all over again, this time using your newly-earned $5 RR too.

Back page of Acme ad–good deals on cookie mix and frosting, Betty Crocker. Both are 6 for 6, must buy 6. There were 0.50 coupons out recently for the frosting, so doubled coupon=free! The BC cookie mix has 0.40 coupons which doubled=0.20. Or, go to bettycrocker.com, boxtopsforeducation.com, smartsource or coupons.com–all have printables for these items.

The Chex deal, buy 3 boxes for 7.50, get 4 free 2 liters of Coke–not a bad deal. There are Chex coupons out there, printables too.

Herr’s is 3 for $6, must buy 3. Look for $0.35 peelies on some items. Peelies unfortunately do not double.

And don’t forget-tomorrow is last day for superdoubles at Kmart.

Santa at Pyle’s

I haven’t seen it advertised yet, but every year Pyle’s hosts Santa the Sunday after Thanksgiving. I’ll keep looking out for it on their marquee. Why I like it–the Santa and backdrop for photos is decent, no mall traffic, no mall crowds………and the best part, the bargain. They let you bring your own camera and snap photos of your kid(s) with Santa! No mall stand is going to let you do that. So then you can just order prints from CVS or Walgreen’s or wherever, pay a much lower fee and get better photos.

They also host other characters like Elmo, Spongebob and others. Again, watch for ads in the little local papers like AG Sun/CC Press or on their marquee.

This & That

One week until Black Friday-the biggest shopping day of the year. I keep seeing stuff on tv about how retailers are offering deep discounts due to the economy. I have yet to see anything worth going out early for. Here is the link to the hcw board about Black Friday, maybe you’ll see some deals.

The Acme ad this week is a total dud and so is Giant’s. I haven’t had time to look at wags or cvs yet, I should get to those later tonight or tomorrow.

In the meantime, something else to check out is the superdoubles thread on hcw. Remember superdoubles at Kmart starts on the 30th. At least the downtime at the other stores will give me time to sort through my coupon holders and get ready for it. Unfortunately it does not look as promising as the October event.
