I’m shopping tomorrow!

Ugh, I can’t believe it. I’m actually going to go out to a few stores tomorrow. After years of seeing stores advertised being open, then saying “who would go shopping on Thanksgiving day?” Apparently I am now one of those people.

I had a paper today at work and saw tomorrow’s Kmart ad. They have these Leap toys that we really wanted to get and they are bogo tomorrow only. Then I saw the Big Lots ad and they have the TMX Cookie and Ernie for $5 each………so while I’m out…….you know. And I figure while I’m at it, stop at CVS and do their Black Friday deals–lots of moneymakers on ECBs to be had. Deal talk found here.

Anyway, I’m not cooking tomorrow. We’re going to a relatives house and I’ve already taken care of what I’m bringing, and we don’t have to be there until 2. Stores open at 7 am, so I have plenty of time……….see, now I’m justifying my nutty behavior. But hopefully I will avoid most of the crowds and will be staying home on Friday. Here is a Peebles coupon for the weekend if you are going there. Their ad actually looks pretty good for the weekend, it’s just not anything I need.

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.

last day for Kelloggs rebate

There’s a $10 mail in rebate for Kellogg’s. I saw the booklets at the Avondale Acme yesterday, I know Redner’s had them. Check your grocery store to see if they have a cardboard display with the booklets, rebate inside.

Must be postmarked by tomorrow, so today is your last day to purchase $10 worth of the products listed. Acme has Kelloggs 3 for $10, not a great price, if you have 3 of the $1 coupons from two weeks ago, 3 for $7, then $10 back. Superfresh also has Kelloggs on sale. Not sure about Giant or Genuardi’s.

Triples at Superfresh

I try to keep my couponing/bargaining repetoire of stores down to just a few–Acme, Giant, CVS, Walgreen’s and Kmart. Occasionally I’ll hit a few others, but that’s basically it. With all of the shopping options we have around here, clipping, sorting, viewing circulars and websites, doing coupon matchups–it could literally eat up all your free time if you let it. Which is why I stay to one group of stores.

Nevertheless, I do get all the circulars in my mailbox, and I’m sure I have some Kennett area readers who are close to the Superfresh on Route 1. They are tripling coupons–not sure of the exact dates. On the right hand side of my blog, click on my friend Diane’s blog, she has some good Superfresh deals listed.
