Fireproof DVD for only $5!!



I tried rewording the title of this post, but nothing sounded right.  I figured that if you were familiar with the movie that you wouldn't think that I was advertising DVDs that will hold up in the event of a fire.  Oh my, look...a rabbit trail......

Visit Family Christian Stores here and pick up your copy for $5.  Shipping is .99, but it certainly beats the $20 that this movie usually costs.  Again, think Christmas!!

Free coffee? Yes please!



Go here to get your free sample of Thomas coffee.  I've never tried it, but I'm willing to give it a shot.  Mmm.

CVS Trips, October 5&7, 2010

It was a rather uneventful week for me at CVS.  I was pleased that it was a great GIVE AWAY week though.  I did get some fun socks for me...and some for my friends!!  I also got a lot of erasers and magnets on clearance (for .25!!) to give to Benjamin's teacher for her classroom treasure box!  So, I guess it was a week for giveaways!!  I'm happy with that!!

I made 2 trips this week.  I went to the CVS on Gilmer in hopes of redeeming my rain check for the Oral-B Vitality toothbrushes.  No luck.  Anyway, here's what I got:

Trip 1:


 2 pairs of Halloween socks (The card scanner/coupon printer is printing out $5 off of any Halloween purchase.  These socks are 2/$5.  Yay for FREE, fun socks!)
3 Candy Bars (one got lost in my mouth somewhere between the store, the errands, and the house!!)

Trip 2:

 2 more pairs of Halloween Socks (it printed ANOTHER $5 coupon!!  Yay!)
8 packages fun erasers (clearanced for .25)
2 packages magnets (clearanced for .25)
1 package mechanical pencils (clearanced for .25)

Regular price: $25.62
I paid:  $3.52

I didn't even use any ECBs this week.  Nice.  More for next week!



Walgreens Trips, October 5&7, 2010

I actually went to Walgreens twice this week.  The first time was okay, but I had children with me, and my brain does not function really well with them along.  So, I felt like I missed something. 

Here's what I got on Trip 1:

4 Nabisco Cookies (3 Fig Newtons, 1 Oreo)
3 EOS Lip Balm Balls (Benjamin loves these!)
1 Russell Stover Internationale Chocolates (clearanced for .84)
2 Sweet Tarts
1 Nivea Lip Balm (the last one...had to go back for more of these!)
1 Sunbelt "granola" bar
1 Schick Hydro Razor
1 Thermacare Heat Wrap (had a rain check)
1 Schick Hydro Refills

Trip 2:

4 Campbell's Soups (rain check)
2 Playtex Gloves
2 Dove Sugar Free Chocolates
5 Nivea Lip Balms
1 Crest Toothpaste
1 Sunbelt "granola" bar (these are my fillers most of the time)

Regular Price:  $82.48
I paid:  $8.63
I received:  $3 RR

Sweet!


Kroger Trip, October 7, 2010

**Edit for clarification**  This Mega sale is "Purchase 10 participating items, get $5 off."  So, for every set of 10 items you purchase, they take $5 off at the checkout.  My transaction had 4 sets of 10, so they took $20 off at the register.  Some Mega events have a limit of 3 per transaction, but this is not one of those sales.


These Mega Sales are my favorite! I really enjoyed my trip to Kroger this week.  I plan to go back sometime before the sale ends (don't worry...this one goes for 2 weeks).  This is what I got this week:

1 Yoplait Greek Yogurt
2 DelMonte Fruit Smoothie Mixers
2 Oscar Mayer Deli Selections Lunch meat (turkey and turkey pastrami)

    $20/20 HSN!!!


    Head on over to HSN.com and use the code 319175 to get $20 off of your order of $20 or more.  You will still pay shipping, but it is only around $5!!  This is a great thing to use to start stocking up on Christmas gifts!!  Also, remember to go through Ebates to get 3% cash back on your purchase. 

    I wanted to look for toys for the children.  It wasn't in one of the tabs that made it easy to find.  I simply typed "Toy Store" into their search box.  After that, search by price from low to high.

    Have fun!!!
