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.

No bargains for a while

We’ve had a death in the family, so I am not in the mood for bargaining. My 7 month old niece had been in the hospital for about two weeks with bacterial meningitis, and unfortunately she lost her battle. Keep us in your thoughts and I’ll be back on sometime soon.

Walgreen’s $5 off $20 coupon

Good today and tomorrow only, print yours here.

Remember the $20 has to be after all other coupons, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still find good deals. Here’s what I did (prices are rounded):

$10 4 boxes of Kelloggs cereal at 2.50 each
$15 1 tube of L’oreal moisturizer (check monthly booklet to make sure you get correct one)
$10 Pampers

$35 total, Minus:
$1 pampers coupon (got in mail, though there are insert ones out there)
$4 kelloggs coupons (4 x $1, this past Sunday’s papers)
$1 l’oreal coupon (recent insert)

$29 new total
gave my $5 off $20 coupon

Final total came to $24.xx, paid with a $25 Rx transfer check I had.
Got about $0.40 back.

And……….
$1 RR for Pampers
$2 RR for Kelloggs
$14.99 + $1.49 on a wags gift card, L’oreal monthly rebate
$10 Kelloggs rebate.

Not bad, for not having spent any money, I’m getting $19.50 back plus all the merchandise.

Superdoubles are coming to Kmart

It seems like all the rumors floating around on the boards are pretty reliable. Superdoubles will be at all Kmarts from Nov 30 to Dec 6. This gives everyone plenty of time to plan & clip! Remember, all coupons with a value up to and including $2 will be doubled. Of course we won’t know what sales are going on until that Saturday, but start organizing now. As it gets closer I’ll post the discussion threads.
