News Around The Blogs 11/12

and now some news:

There are some printable coupon for JC Penny's HERE where you can save on Nov 15th & 16th.

If you make a purchase at Victoria Secret between now and Nov 30th, you will get a secret reward card that you will be able to use on your next purchase between Dec. 1st and 24th. It can be worth $10, $50, $100, even $500! Thanks Coupon Cravings

If you're at the mall and need some candles, check out Yankee Candle Company. They have a coupon for buy 2 get 2 free! Thx KCPPM

I haven't tried this yet, but I heard about some free mousse at Walgreens. Here's what you do:

Nexxus Mousse size 2 oz is on sale 2 for $5. Use the coupon for $4/1 in the November Coupon booklets you find up front by the ads. Word on the blogs is that you can buy 2 and get $5 off at checkout. It's suppose to adjust itself down? Last time I did this sort of a deal it was for Almay and I needed a filler. Again I haven't tried this. If you have leave a comment.

That's all the news I have for now!

FREE Wipes at Target!!

Who can't use free wipes? This is what you do:

When you are at Target, go to the guest service area, where they have the registry computers. You can select either the baby or wedding registry or you can pick to go to Target.com. Select to go to Target.com and scroll down to grocery coupons. Once you select that, a screen will pop up with all the availalbe store coupons. You can select the ones you want. If you choose the coupon for:

$1 off 1 Up & Up diapers or wipes product you can score some free Target brand wipes.

Target brand toddler wipe refill packages are on "special price cut" for $0.97 down from $1.27. You can use the $1/1 coupon at the register and it will adjust itself down to $0.97 and there will be NO BEEPS!! I didn't have any problems buying these. I was able to get 6 in one transcation and oddly I didn't even have to pay tax?? Isn't that wierd? I always have to pay tax, but not this time. It was such a pleasant surprise. The cashier just handed me my reciept and said, "have a nice day." Your cashier might make you do separate transactions but heck, that's just more work for them. Here is what the wipes look like:

Now on the downside, this is pretty much ALL over the blogs, I went to 3 different Targets and was only able to find the 6. It was pretty much wiped out. On the upside the coupon doesn't expire until December 5th. So if you don't get them this time, hang onto the coupons.

If you want to spend a little more money then free you can get pretty cheap wipes by buying the bigger refill packs. I saw a few for $1.57. Two for a little over a dollar is still great!

Were you able to snag some??

Great Deals at Toys R Us

**WARNING - if you are family member or friend I am buying christmas gifts for STOP reading!

Here is the deal or deals I should say you can find at Toys R Us:

2. Some games are only $3.99 each.
3. Send in a $2 rebate on each game and get back $14.00 if you buy 7 games.

So here is what I did. I bought 7 games to bring my total to $27.93. I got a $10 gift card = $17.93, I will send in for $14 in rebates for the 7 games I bought = $3.93 for 7 games or $0.56 each. The rebate form is found at the store or online HERE.

Practice for Black Friday 11/08 at Walmart

Last night I saw a commercial for a sale at Walmart and had to check it out further. Turns out that starting at 8 am on Saturday November 7th, Walmart will have a few rocking items for super cheap. Here are some items:

• 46" Panasonic Plasma HDTV $788.00
• HP 250 GB 15.6" Display Laptop $298.00
• Sony Blue Ray Player $148.00
• X Box 360 Game Console and $100 Gift card $199.00
• 42" Sharp LCD HDTV $498.00

I have never been to this sale at Walmart, but my mother did go, and she got a laptop last year. I remember her calling me and asking me to look online to find out what was going on at Walmart. There were crowds of people. It turned out that each store only had 10 of each item on sale.

So if you want to practice your bargain hunting skills for the upcoming black Friday, you can head on over to Walmart tomorrow morning. Let me know if you score anything!

Working on it

Target and I are trying to work on our relationship. We are doing a lot better now. I wanted to share my latest trip, but since I bought quite a few Christmas presents I can not show you exactly what I got. I can show you my reciept where it said that I saved $224.90!
