Shopping 11/21

I had a lot of Libby's Veggie Coupons and 11/21 was the last day of an pretty awesome deal at Marsh so off we went :) The veggies were bought over 5 transactions at 2 separate stores.

*Oatmeal Pop tarts $2.09...no coupons they just intrigued me...my verdict really dry and crumbly thumbs down
*Ground Sirloin $5.46...needed for my baked bean recipe

Total Spent $29

Next stop Victoria's Secret:
I had a free pantie and a $10 off coupon that were expiring so I picked up the pantie and this 2.5oz fragrance mist that was on sale for $10 making this entire transaction FREE!

Last stop of the day was Bath & Body Works:
Knowing I was going to be purchasing lots of candles and Wallflowers on Black Friday I went in and made a list of the scents I was going to want and let me tell you it worked out great! On Friday when I went in I grabbed what I could and then was able to get in the checkout lane and let one of the workers grab the other things on my list. I did use one coupon for  a free mini candle with any purchase. I grabbed a hand sanitiser for $1 and it made for a very cheap trip.

Black Friday....It has begun!!

So is everyone ready for all this craziness? I actually as of 6:10 am had made my first purchase and I didn't wake up until 5:55 :) Kmart was offering almost all of thier deals from today online with free layaway so last night I prefilled my online cart with the 12 kids outfits, 6 pairs of shoes, 5 toys, and griddle I wanted hit layaway and I can pay it off and pick it up whenever I want! I love this option because #1 you don't have to get out of your pajamas, #2 it involves NO standing in the cold for hours with some not so pleasant people, #3 with the layaway option it leaves more of your shopping budget open for other deals since  you only have to put down a first payment of $15!



Above all I wish everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy time with your families the deals can wait until the turkey is done!
