December 26

Merry Christmas!

All the excitement is over at my house, Kevin is enjoying all his new toys and we’re having a quiet Christmas at home.

I’m trying to decide if I want to brave crowds tomorrow. I may actually head to the Christiana Mall and try JC Penney. They’re supposed to be having a big sale. Yankee Candle also reduces their fall/holiday scents after xmas.

Last year I really stocked up at Walmart on xmas items–wrap, cards, etc. I have enough to last me several years. I’ve been reading on hcw that Walgreen’s and CVS may not be having great after xmas sales this year.

Proctor & Gamble coupon booklet

After this week at CVS, I am on my way towards a P&G coupon booklet. This is in regards to the post I did a few days ago, the one where you have to buy $5o worth of P&G items to send in & get a coupon booklet.

Well, I only got a few Thermacare, because they were out, but that’s a P&G item. And the free Crest Pro-Health (a week long offer-there’s still time!), I got 2 on each card, so that’s another $12 towards my $50. There’s also an Olay Regenerist offer coming up, I don’t remember if it’s CVS or Walgreen’s, I’ll post more when I find it. But that will get me at least another $20 towards my total.

So pay attention to your receipts and don’t toss them–P&G makes lots of things! You may even be buying some of their food items and not know it.

Whiskazz & Pawzz-Hockessin

I’m not sure if I spelled it right–but it’s that pet gift boutique down at Hockessin Corner. I was down there yesterday to pick up Better Cheddar at the Back Burner. Mmmmm, have you ever had that stuff? Definitely not a bargain, but yummy. Anyway, I saw a big banner at Whiskazz & Pawzz that December 26 is their last day of business. I haven’t been in there in years, but when I was they had cute things. I was running lots of errands yesterday so I didn’t have time to look–but maybe there are some good bargains due to going out of business. I am going to try to get there on 12/26.

2-day sale items at CVS-no rainchecks

I had a pretty good 2 days at the CVS sale. I increased my ECBs and got lots of stuff too. Yesterday I stopped in at the Landenberg location on my way home from work, to pick up a few more moneymaker items. They were out of most everything at that point, so I asked for rainchecks. I was told they will no longer be issuing rainchecks for 2-day sale items. That’s a bummer.
