here's a summary of my loot:
petsmart - christmas treats and toys 50% off
everything in this photo was $33.70. but i had a $5 coupon and a $25 gift certificate, so I only paid $3.70. hopefully these chews will last a few months!
then i went to target and got the following at 50% off:
1 can mulling spices, 2 cans of christmas cookie sprinkles, 3 travel coffee mugs (one electrically keeps the beverages warm), 2 cool pillows for my couch, 2 rugs for the kitchen, 8 red placemats, 3 catnip toys, 2 packages of dog treats, 3 packages of cat treats, 3 ornaments, 1 snowman candle, 1 can chicken spice rub, 1 can beef spice rub, package of 3 extension cords, set of queen flannel sheets, 1 bathroom hand towel, package of 4 kitchen towels, table runner, kitchen towel/potholder set, tablecloth, 2 snowman candle holders, 2 votive candle holders, 1 package of napkins, and one decorative "jingle bell tree". total spent: $157.85
i also stopped by jc penney because i had a coupon, but they didn't have much and there were a ton of annoying people there. i did still get 2 ornaments (75% off) and a $50 waffle maker for $20. we've been wanting a waffle maker for awhile!
i wanted to go to cost plus and check out their decorations and holiday wine, but on my way there i got a call from a prospective tenant and had to go show the house. i may try to head over there tomorrow if i have some time.
then i went to the gap.com and got a cute striped hat, and a nice wool coat and some dressier pants for j (i think the coat will be his anniversary present). everything was on sale and then i got an additional 25% off with the code "sale". value: approximately $225.. and i spent just over $100 which included shipping and tax.
i also went to walgreens and transferred a prescription, receiving a $25 gift card in the process!
all these savings will make up for having to pay full price for the wii* fit and all the accessories i'm sure we'll have to buy!
*j's dad got us a wii for christmas!
Great deals you got there! I am not disciplined with the holiday decorations. In fact, when I DO get things that are super discounted (aka Christmas cards) I forget that I planned ahead and buy some more (ex. this year). I am trying to make a mental note that I have enough Christmas cards to last us for 4 years (seriously!). Same with ornaments, etc.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about the wii fit. Maybe I'll watch you work out and then I'll work out on it one day. haha.
