Did some drop in shops today. I used my first $5 Bonus Rewards at Walgreens. They had some decent deals, however, our Wags was out of the Lindsey Olives for .99, which there is a printable coupon on the coupons.com site for $1/1 can of Lindsey Olives. I bought the boxes of Cheese it crackers for .99...no coupon involved. My best deal there was the Breathe Right Nasal Strips....in the Wags November booklet is a coupon for $2 off each box (which worked on the 10 count) and we have coupons for $1.50 off the 10 count boxes.....got 3 boxes for $4.49 per box. Used my $5 bonus rewards...the cashier gives you the option to use them or save them, then you just have to approve it on the machine. Pretty easy.
Dollar Tree....I love it there at Christmas Time. I bought a few stocking stuffer type things, some kitchen Christmas rugs for $1 each....I've bought the nicer rugs in the past, after a wash I ended up throwing them away anyway, so $1 is fine for a couple of months. Got some Christmas storage containers, Spic N Span spray, Palmolive bath soap, 3 bars for $1...we love that soap. Got some Disney paint sets for some little people I know and some marshmallow suckers for their Christmas goodie bags! Came out with 24 items for $24 plus tax. Not bad. Dollar Tree still has the Libby's canned fruits and veggies for .75 each and we just got new coupons again for $1/4 again. It's my understanding that we may get them even cheaper at Dollar General starting on Sunday....keep an eye out. Would love to buy 16 cans for less than .50 each, wouldn't you?
Big Lots next....no, they STILL don't take coupons, but they had 2 of the 3.5 ft lit trees for beside your front door for $40 for the 2. They are prelit and flocked, they were really cute little trees. Bought some Honey roasted peanuts for a boy I know who thinks you can't have Thanksgiving without them...Bob's Mill unbleached natural flour and natural Tapioca pudding beads and a new Christmas Gate Hanger.
Publix has our Truvia sweeteners for $3.99 (40 ct. box) and we have $2/1 coupons. Can't remember where they are from, but my friend Dianna will want to take advantage of that too.
TGIF snacks were $1 each. Bought all my ingred for my snack mix....not a cheap endeavor by any means, but I had coupons for most of the crackers and things... Hidden Valley Ranch dry dressings were 3/$5, wish I'd had a coupon. Here is my really great deal....I've been using the Nicorette Losenges to quit smoking, we have $10/1 package coupons and I used my $5/$55 WD coupon for those. Hopefully, this should be my last package of those...I've been quit now for 51 days! These should take me up through the end. Thank God! I've already saved around $300! If you need to know how I did, email me and I will hook you up with the program I used.
I don't imagine I will be doing much more shopping before Thanksgiving, as we are going to our daughter's in NC for the holiday. My next shop will be in Shelby, NC! I wish you all wonderful Thanksgiving memories and just take the time to be Thankful, we have much and others have so little. I will also be thanking God for my coupon shopping endeavors too, sometimes He leads me right to a great deal! Happy Thanksgiving to you all and God Bless you...

Friday 11/9/12
Did a quick Publix run on Friday to pick up on a few things they had on sale. Haven't been too impressed with anyone's sales here lately. This sale runs through Wednesday 11/14 if you want to do some of these deals yourselves.
Suave Body Lotions were bogo at $3.21 for 2, had coupons from RP 10/14 for $2/2 which made those .60 each. Betty Crocker Potatoes were bogo at $1.99 for 2, had .50/2 which I printed on coupons.com, making those .75 each. Halls Cough Drops were bogo $1.69 for 2, had coupons from SS 11/4 for $1/2 making those .35 each. Kraft Stove Top stuffing was bogo at $1.69 for 2, printed coupons from coupons.com for $1/2 making those .34 each. Campbells cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups were bogo at $1.33/2, had coupons for $1/4 coupons.com or SS 11/4 for .35/4. Those ended up at .58 each. I use these in EVERYTHING so I stocked up with 16 of them. Progresso broth was bogo at $2.59, searched high and low for coupons and found none, so those were $1.29 each without coupons. Except for some things to make soup (fresh veggies), milk and bread, that was about it for last week. Hopefully there will be better deals this week. The coupons we got on Sunday 11/11 were much better than I've been seeing.
I've not been too impressed with Wags new system, Cvs has been better lately...although I've not shopped either unless I just had to have something. This weeks ads look a little better to me. Will let you know if I find any good deals for us. Let me know if you find any as well.
Okay, seems to me we are rushing things a bit this year, more so than normal. I saw my first Salvation Army Bell Ringer in front of Publix on Friday??? Really??? I thought those came out after Thanksgiving? I've also seen on line where everyone seems to be posting their Black Friday deals early??? Really? I find this a bit annoying.....can't we just enjoy Thanksgiving and being Thankful before we jump into Christmas??? Just a thought.
God Bless and take a moment to just be Thankful! Rhonda Goff
