Free Christmas Album from Target

If you are like me and like your Christmas music a little "outside the box" then you'll really like this freebie album from Target. With new holiday songs from Guster, Bishop Allen, Darker My Love, Natalie Hemby, Little Jackie and others, theres a little something for every taste, unless you really like the boring old stuff they are playing in every store for the next four weeks.

The Christmas Gig - Free from Target

Anyone else having any trouble printing Redplum coupons? I keep getting their "fudge" page when I try to print the coupons.

Wednesday Blog Hop Skip & a Jump

I won a Scentsy!

If you don't enter blog give-aways, you really should. I just won a Scentsy Candle Warmer system from Rocket City Savings.

I don't enter a lot of give-aways, just ones that I think I'd like to win, but in the last few weeks I've won two different ones. This one and one for a VIOlight retainer/denture sanitizer from TMJ Hope. If I can do it, you can too. So next time you see a give-away on a blog and you think "I'll never win", go ahead and enter you might be surprised!

Oh and if you are local to Huntsville/ North Alabama, be sure to follow Rocket City Savings, Mendy posts some great deals for our area.

WARNING!! Jingle Cash vs Register Rewards (Walgreens)

If you haven't already found out on your own, Jingle Cash is not the same as Register Rewards at Walgreens.  Usually with RR you can "roll" them, meaning you can buy the items, get the register rewards then go back and use those RR to get the same items.  You can't do that with Jingle Cash. 

I found this out the wrong way after heading back to Walgreens to grab seconds of some of the items we'd gotten earlier this morning.  I used my Jingle Cash from the first purchase to pay for the second purchase and because of this I didn't get Jingle Cash for the second set of items.  So, I'll be taking a few things back after the weekend is over.

This really kind of irked me, so if you haven't already made your Walgreens trip this weekend, beware!  That said, my local Walgreens had PLENTY of the items that you can get free via Jingle Cash.  If you don't see them in their usual locations check endcaps or ask a salesperson.  Each of the two Walgreens I went into had them in different places but they had pretty much all of the Jingle Cash items together.

Black Friday/ Cyber Monday Madness

I'm over it. I've combed the ads and I really don't see anything that's so special as to make me want to get out of bed (or not go to bed). There was really only one thing I was interested in and I've already ordered it off of Amazon (it will arrive on Friday).

I may still run out tomorrow for some of the great drugstore deals, but knowing my luck the items I want will be sold out before I get there...lol.

I've never been a big Black Friday shopper, maybe it's because I don't have kids, maybe it's because I don't care about buying things I don't need/want, even if they are a really great deal.  I've already done the bulk of our Christmas shopping this year. That was easy since we aren't really buying much for anyone, including each other.  This year it's more important for us to save money (by not spending it at all) than to get great deals on things we don't need.

All that said, there are two places I may try to go on Friday....

Bath & Body Works - I can always use more bubble bath and I really want the VIP tote they are selling for $20 with a $40 purchase.  I considered buying it online, but the whole "can't be combined with another code" AND having to pay shipping kinda killed that idea (it's available online today btw).  As long as the stores still have the buy 3 get 2 Free on Signature Collection items going tomorrow, I'll probably get it.

Target? - I saw a couple of different places have really good deals on picture frames tomorrow. Target is one of them. I need to go back through the ads again to see who else had them.  We've got a picture project we are doing in our living room and we need frames for it, so if I can get 10 frames for $12, that's a bit hard to pass up.
