Christmas Break

Hey all, Emily and I are taking a couple of days off from blogging for Christmas. I know, I know, very lazy of us. But don’t worry! When we return I will regale you with the happenings at the family Christmas we had at my mom & dad’s this weekend with my brothers & their families. It will be well worth the wait! Just a teaser…the highlights of the day included banging on the roof, my dad’s ear hairs, and my brother’s belly button lint. Yee-haaaa!

Merry Christmas everyone and may you truly feel God’s love for you as you celebrate the birth of His Son!

All I want for Christmas is a CVS Gift Card!

Earlier this week I posted about my amazing deals at Target, and for this Super Savings Saturday I will geekily showcase my stocking-stuffing haul at CVS. Monday night I went out to get stocking stuffers for my kids and also to get a few more things for my mom to put in my sibling’s stockings. (Beth, Sarah, Charles, Andy STOP reading here!) Here are the results of my efforts!

On this first transaction I spent $1.13 out-of-pocket and used NO ECBs (ExtraCare Bucks – like CVS $$). I got $7 ECBs BACK!

Then, I combined those ECBs with the $12.49 I already had in ECBs and got all THIS:

For $3.06 out of pocket! And I got $1 ECB back! 🙂 I was doing the happy dance afterward!! So now everyone in my family has stocking stuffers…except me! But I’ve been collecting ECBs this week for my hubby to use when he does my stocking stuffer shopping. I’ve issued him a challenge to take his calculator and coupons! I will let you know how he does!

Oh – and lest I forget – Walgreen’s also had a $5/$20 coupon good Tuesday only! I took advantage of that to get some more Glade candles and refills. I had several manufacturer’s coupons also and spent $5.72 for two Glade Scented Oil Candles, two Glade Holiday Jar Candles, and one scented oil refill. I will be getting back $12.10 in rebates thanks to Walgreen’s Easy Saver program! So I made $6.38 on that deal! WAHOO!
