Black Friday Shopping!

Hey loves! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday with your loved ones! Ours was very nice and we have round two tomorrow with the other side of the family.

Today I went out for Black Friday...

to the DMV. Yes, that is the line for the DMV. I had to officially change my name there and thought no one would be heading there on Black Friday. Boy was I wrong as I stood outside for 45 minutes in 15 degree weather behind 50 other people who got there before I did. Good news is they were super efficient and I was out of there within a half hour once the doors opened!

I managed to get a few Black Friday deals but I honestly try to avoid the stores as much as possible so I'll share the deals I took advantage of that are still going on so you can take advantage too!

Pictured above are all my freebies from CVS! I walked away with more money in ECBs then I spent to get all these items. Definitely check out the CVS flyer for everything you can get for free because this isn't all you are able to get! I love shopping at CVS!

I also placed an order on American Eagle where everything is 40% off and free shipping! I picked up two new pairs of jeans, a bra, pajama pants, and 10 pairs of underwear for $135!

I love picking up my Erin Condren planner for the new year every Black Friday and today was no exception. My LifePlanner would normally be priced at $60. They are all 30% off today and I had a $25 coupon code from the order I placed last year (yay for never expiring coupons) so I was able to pick up my new planner for only $24 including shipping!

Tim and I made a quick trip to Walmart this morning where he picked up a couple of video games for $25 and $35, which was a great deal for him. I found the Kodak Wireless Printer  for only $49! I picked that up as well as a refill pack for $13 since this is normally a $100 product.

Later I plan on heading to Stop and Shop where I hear if you spend $100 on gift cards you get $20 towards groceries printed on your receipt! I will be taking advantage of that since I buy so many gift cards for family members!

There are a ton of deals out there today, go take advantage and if you can do it from home!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Black Friday Haul 2017

Oh it's Monday again.... How is that even possible? This four day weekend flew by and I hope that you enjoyed Thanksgiving with your loved ones. We had a great weekend and I'll share more of that during my life lately post.

The first thing I picked up was an Apple Watch for Tim and one for me. Kohls had an amazing deal! I ended up getting $200 Kohls cash back from buying them online during the Black Friday sales. Tim managed to get some good Black Friday sales from Kohls as well. 

We stopped by CVS on Friday so I could stock up on my freebies!

Every year I love to go get these freebie deals!

I also picked up a DVD at Walmart for $7, who doesn't love Wonder Woman?!

I also used a 30% off coupon to get my Erin Condren planner for next year. Gotta love saving money on things you use everyday!

What did you get Black Friday shopping?

Black Friday Haul!

We are not those crazy people who wake up super early on Black Friday and wait in massive lines to get the best deals. I was that crazy person who woke up and immediately start watching Gilmore Girls...but that's another story :)

We decided to head out later in the afternoon and just take a look around and see what we could find and we came back with quite a bit! I prefer to get the CVS freebies, some cheap movies from Walmart, and a few other deals. At this point the majority of my Christmas shopping is done so I'm basically just looking for things I don't want to pay full price for.

We started off at Kohls where we picked up a toaster over for $5.26 after all discounts. Plus we are going to get a rebate which makes it a money maker!
I grabbed a new Taylor Swift perfume set since I've recently finished this perfume and needed a new bottle. Makeup brushes, a hair brush, and a couple of earrings later I met up with Tim and he had a pair of gloves and we checked out and headed to our next stop....

CVS! Always my favorite on Black Friday because there are so many free items after ECB's. Here's what I picked up for free/cheap: toothpaste, lysol wipes, pantyliners, canned veggies, candy, toothbrushes, mascara, batteries, and gum.

We headed off to Walmart next and picked up a ton of DVDs. I also grabbed a sweatshirt that was only $9.

Target was next on our list and I picked up The Red Queen book for only $5.

Bath and Body Works was buy 3 get 3 free so I purchased two gift sets, two candles, two soaps, and then also had a free item so I picked up a lotion as well. (I don't need any more lotion!)

We also stopped in Old Navy where I picked up pants for work at 50% off.

Basically we were exhausted after this excursion but were very happy with the amazing deals we got!

Did you go out Black Friday shopping?

Couponing Alert!

Happy Friday my couponing friends!

I thought today in lieu of my typical Weekly Couponing Wrapup I would share a few deals that are going on over the next week and a few places I like to shop for deals around the holidays. I am not a huge Black Friday shopper- I don't like to be out there with the crowds, but I am all for getting a good deal!

CVS

I know that I talk about CVS all the time but they are having an amazing sale starting Sunday. There are a ton of items that are free after Extra Care Bucks (ECBs). Why wouldn't you pick up these free items? You can use them for stocking stuffers or save them for yourself for a later time. Check out the ad at CVS.com!

Kohls

Kohls is one of my favorite stores to shop at! If you are shopping online during the next week check out retailmenot.com in order to find the updated coupon codes to get 20% off your order. Kohls has amazing sales anyways, but with 20% tacked on top you can get so many great items!

Amazon

I am an Amazon Prime member at I cannot recommend it enough! Free two day shipping has come in handy on several occasions for me and has definitely saved me a ton of money over the past year. I have purchased a few items for Christmas gifts on Amazon because they sell absolutely everything! Amazon is actually starting their Black Friday deals today- so get over there!

Walmart

This year Walmart is starting price matching Black Friday deals one week early (AKA TODAY!) So if there are any deals you are looking for you might want to head to Walmart this weekend and try to get the price you want early so you don't have to deal with the crowds next week.

Other stores that I love to shop for Christmas gifts?

Bath and Body Works

American Eagle

Old Navy

Hallmark

Pier One

JC Penney

Target

Have a great weekend!
