Friday

Walgreens trip for $2.73

Hey everyone,

I made a trip to Walgreens today to get some of the Red Baron pizzas that were on sale for $1.99 today only. I ended up making three separate transactions - so between those three transactions I rolled my RRs to get all of the stuff pictured below for $2.73 (that INCLUDES tax- tax is killer!). That is pretty good considering one pizza is $1.99. Can I also say what a GREAT price $1.99 is? Red Baron typically costs at least $3-$4. =)

-6 Red Baron pizzas
-4 coffee creamers (don't expire until 3/10)
-2 infusium shampoos
-1 toothpaste
-2 triamincs
**Oh, and I still have $10 in RR to spend!

40% off everything at the Limited this Friday only!

I just got an e-mail from the Limited stating that everthing on Black Friday will be 40% off! I don't know about you, but I feel like this is one place that won't be overly crowded like Walmart or Target.

Also, did you see that you can get FREE shipping? That is also really great. You can ALSO get a free ruffle scarf with any $75 purchase.

One tip that I just read: You can go in right now and save things to your cart that catch your eye. Then, all you have to do on Black Friday is check-out and get an amazing 40% off! I think that sounds pretty sweet- and you never even have to change out of your pajamas or leave the house! I LOVE the Limited!!!!!

Coach outlet coupon

Do you have someone in your life that loves Coach purses? I absolutely love them, and probably have too many purses (I think I own about 5 purses and a few coin purses, too). I have some good news - Coach has released yet ANOTHER 20% off coupon to use at the outlet stores. The closest one for me is in Albertville. Anyway, get the coupon here to make someone really happy this holiday season!

Psst: They never have to know how LITTLE you spent on them! It can beour little secret :)

Thanks for the coupon, Hip2Save)

Black Friday shopping: Good or bad idea?

I read an interesting article in the Star Tribune about shopping on black Friday....you can read it here.

I am always wanting to go to the stores and buy the great deals advertised, but are the long lines and the headache worth it? Most stores that have such great deals have limited quantities and no rain checks. Remember the stampede at WalMart?

What John suggests, which many of my fellow Target shoppers already do, is to use a stores' price matching policy. We do know that Target does do price matching, with some limitations. Target doesn't match door busters, limited-time or quantity offers or coupon items, although most other items are matchable.

The most interesting part of the article is that someone mentioned they do all of their shopping on black Friday at WalMart because they price match all competitors' ad prices. John, the writer of the article, even called WalMart to verify that they would match the prices- and they will. This even includes door busters from 6-8 a.m. Even those ads with the fine print stating "limited quantities." The only issue you might encounter is that the item has to be EXACTLY the same.

You can check out Black Friday deals in advance on sites like www.bfads.net.

Monday

Cheap Magazines

Do you love getting magazines in the mail? I know I do, but I defintiely don't love how much they can cost. There are a few sites, yes they are legitimate, where you can get really cheap magazine subscriptions.

Best Deal Magazines - they offer some pretty good deals on magazines. A current deal that really sticks out to me is the Rachael Ray magazine. It is currently only $7.49 for a whole year. That is a GREAT price considering the fact that each magainze costs between $4-6! Check out other deals here.

Another site I frequent is Low price subs. They've got over 15 magainzes right now for about $2 for an entire year! A few ones that stick out to me are Marie Claire, Shape and Weight Watchers. That is a GREAT deal! Check out those specials here.

Sunday
