Turkey, Dressing, and a side of CVS
This Thanksgiving I had the joy of being with my parents at their house in Virginia and also seeing my Uncle, Aunt & cousins that I hadn’t seen in years. We had a great time, and it was made even better by the fact that there was a CVS in the small town near my parents house. YAY! So my dad and I got to CVS right at 10 a.m. when it opened on Thanksgiving Day and I cleaned up! I won’t bore you with the dirty details, but I did three transactions and got all this, about $75 worth of stuff:
for about $6 out-of-pocket. I started with $14.99 in ExtraCare Bucks and I ended up with $39 ECBs. Yeeehaaa! (I am *trying* not to be sad about the fact that I could have made much more $$ if I had been at home with my regular CVS peeps, because they accept competitors coupons!) The CVS employees here in Virginia were really sweet and seemed to be impressed with my savings.
I went back the next day and used some of my earned ECB stash to get toys for the kiddos to play with here. Good times!
That’s it for me, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
We lived through Black Friday
Although when we were standing in line at Kohl’s, I was beginning to wonder if we were going to make it! The checkout line was wrapped halfway around the store. By the time we left, we were pretty much BFF with all the people in line around us. People were pushing each other’s carts, holding one another’s place in line while someone ran back to get just one more thing… it was kind of neat!
We didn’t hit the stores at 4a.m. or anything, but we did head out around 8:30. We went to Penney’s, two Targets, and Kohl’s… and we are nearly done Christmas shopping! I am pretty pumped about that. I’ve got a few more things to get online, but that should do it.
Yesterday, I took advantage of Best Buy’s Black Friday sale online and bought a surprise present for Andy… I won’t tell you about it on the off chance he stumbles upon Mommin It Up, but I am excited about it!
I am curious to hear about you crazies who stood in line in the middle of the night, and any awesome deals you got. Who has a good Black Friday story?
