December magazine coupons

Is it just me, or are the coupons lacking in the magazines now that the Holiday season is upon us?! You would think the magazines would be jam packed full of them to entice shoppers to buy their products, but I guess that's not the case.

Black Friday sales ads

Do you brave the crowds and shop on Black Friday? I do....sometimes. This year I'm able to since hubby is watching the kidlets....I'm soooo excited! We make it an entire day of shopping and bonding; my mom, aunts, female cousins, and even grandmom. From the crack of dawn (or before) to late at night....

Do you research the Black Friday ads online or in print prior to Black Friday? Do you buy a newspaper specifically on Thanksgiving Day so you can peruse the ads after filling your belly with turkey & stuffing? I bought a newspaper yesterday and there was a sign on the rack stating that Thanksgiving Day's paper would be $1.50 (double the regular price of 75c)! I guess if the demand is there, they can raise the price, but geeze....

HotCouponWorld has a survey in regards to the Black Friday ads, and you're invited to participate. You could win a giftcard up to $100 good at Amazon. Go here for more details & to complete the survey.

Celebrity status

I was in Rite Aid one evening last week, and there was an elderly lady in line in front of me. Well, when I heard her total ($22.xx), I offered her a $5/$20 coupon to use since I had some extra. She was very gracious for it, and thanked me several times. The cashier who was ringing her up, proceeded to tell the woman about how I am known in there for getting a cart full of merchandise for little to no out of pocket expense. The elderly then turned to me again and asked "Are you the one with the blog?" A smile came across my face, and the cashier busted out in a laugh, not knowing anything about the blog (I enlightened her later). I answered the lady "Yes, yes I am" and kind of chuckled to myself, because that was the first time that an outside individual had mentioned my "celebrity status" without knowing who I was.

Factory Card and Party Outlet coupon

If you share your email address with Factory Card & Party outlet, you will receive a $10/$30 on your next purchase.

$5/25 Walgreens coupon
