Catchin up

I failed to post last week.  I just did.  Between sick kids and a crazy week- it just didn't happen.  I picked up a few sale things here and there- but nothing too exciting.  Except that printable spend $50 at target and get a $10 giftcard back.  It was only good for a couple days- but still exciting.  Hopefully some of you got to take advantage of it too.  Otherwise, I'm sorry I didn't share BEFORE it expired.

On to this week.

Paid $9.92 cash (used some extra care bucks to whittle that down even more)

Received back $6 EB wyb 2 revlon tools, $3 EB wyb 3 american greeting cards, $1 EB wyb 2 m&m's.  My EB for the candy canes for $1.27 didn't print, so the cashier manually printed it and apparently when they do that they automatically round up- so it printed for $2.  So all total I received back $12 in extra care bucks.  Another money making week!

There are some great grocery items included in the spend $30 get a free $10 giftcard promo this week.  I will go back and work out a deal for that- but last night just wasn't the night.  If you haven't participated in that promo yet- you should.  I typically try to pair coupons with items in the spend $30 category.  As long as you hit the $30 BEFORE your coupons, you will get the gift card.  And they issue it right then!  I've gotten Shell gas station cards, CVS giftcards and American Express giftcards.  It's great!
