The Mall
I signed up earlier to get a $10 gift card for presenting an e-mail that I signed up for earlier from Shop Smart Look Fab. I was looking for black pants, and after shopping around at a few stores, I found some clearance pants at The Limited. (Normal price for pants at that store is $69.00) I found some for 19.99 with 40% off, and khakis for 6.99 with 40% off. After using the $10 gift card, I spent $20 for 3 pairs of Limited pants!

Target
I found a bunch of $1 item by the door 75% off so everything in this picture was .25 each. I have a bunch of things for the Shoe boxes for kids at Christmas and presents for my niece and nephews:) I also had 5 $1.50 off Kashi items from previous deals that I wanted to get but they were out...so I decided to do the Kashi deal this time.
5 items $2.88 each, buy 5 get a $5 gift card, used 5 $1.50 MC =5 items for $1.90 (.38 each)

Groceries- Since my kitchen is well stocked with the basics (and I have been freezing veggies and fruit if it is about to go bad- then using it like a week later) I only got super deals this week.

Garage Sales
I only went to 2, and I only spent $2, but I got this:

I was planning to avoid Goodwill, but they advertised "big sale" outside and I got sucked in. It was 1/2 price everything day:) I got tons of blue binders for .25 each. I plan on using them to put between the computer screen when the kids are testing in the lab.
I couldn't pass up a stuffed moose for .50. I got a swimming suit top, a few shirts and a large canvas bag in a cool print.
This is how I plan on getting the binders to school:) Phew. What a fun day!

Wags this week

I got a few good deals at Walgreens (and used up a whole bunch more RR).

Too busy to shop

I haven't posted here lately because school and VB has kept me too busy to shop for the most part.
I was excited this week because I got this in the mail:

I have always wanted to be a randomly selected home by Neilson to do a survey about our TV's, computers, and viewing habits. The best part was that they included $2 right in the package. WOO HOO.
I also found a place where I can sign up to do other kinds of surveying for them to get prizes. We'll see if that works out.

I went to Walgreens this week to use up some RR that were about to expire. All I bought was Starbucks Ice cream and Cran-Grape juice. Boring:)
I got tons of great deals at King Soopers (Mentos Gum, Organic Yogurt, Healthy Choice Steamers). I also bought meat, cheese, eggs, bread, milk and lots of produce and still stayed within the $40 limit. SWEET. No time to take pictures and brag:(
