Extreme Couponing, Houston Frugal Living Blog
I want to thank each of you for entering the Kroger $150 gift card giveaway last week. Trisha ( the winner) and I had a chance to go shopping today at Kroger and get her free turkey with a $150 purchase. She is a super busy Mom of 2 small kids and a L&D nurse. I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!
This week in the Parade magazine you can find 2 coupons and 1 MIR. There is a $2 off Gillette Razor coupon, and a $3 off Probiotic Pearls. The MIR is for $15 on a Oral -B Professional Series and it lists the model numbers.
The Amazon Toy lightening deals are getting started! You HAVE to be there a few minutes before they start if you want to get one! Also if there is a wait list make sure to get yours self on that as I have been able to still get the deal by being on the waiting list!
This is what is coming up:
Make sure to watch the time and jump on a deal if you want it!
This is my CVS trip this morning. I am home sick and so I ran up by myself 🙂 I seriously can’t get better, I have had the same cough, sore throat and aches for almost 2 weeks. Anyway, this trip made me feel a little better. I am loving how they are separating up the “big” Thanksgiving sale into 2 sales.
If you got your CVS ad in your paper today, this is the page that you want to take a look at below. ALL FREE after ECB items! Plus, there are 3 more on the back page. My store had them mostly grouped together so they were easy to find, you had to do a little hunting but it wasn’t bad. They did have 2 items that were not in yet.
I debated on getting the $16.99 iron supplement drink things, but I went ahead as I should probably be drinking them. I did exactly what I have posted HERE, but substituted the Iron for the Bayer meter.
