Picked this book up at Border's and paid NOTHING.  It was marked down to $4.99, from $17.99.  I had recieved an email letting me know that they had credited my Border's Rewards card with $5 in Bonus Bucks.

My Black Friday shopping...  I'm so very exciting, I hit up the drugstores with my mom.  :o) 

First up was Rite Aid:


 I did three transactions.  They were all out of the Cottonelle for $1.88 (with $1 UP reward!) so they were substituting Charmin or Scott and just charging .88 for it. 

2 Charmin 4-packs  (.88 each)
1 Motrin PM  ($4)
2 Colgate Total (1.77 each)
2 Hershey's Pot of Gold candy boxes ($3.99 each)
10 Hershey's/Mars candy bars (.50 each)
1 Philips remote control ($4.99)
1 Noxema Razors ($3.99)
1 Got2Be Hairspray ($4.99)
2 Disney figures (.89, and .99)
2 Hair dryers ($9.99 each)
3 boxes of cereal ($1.99 each)
2 Vaseline lotions ($2.99 each)
2 Old Spice deodorants ($2.50 each)

I spent a grand total of $4.08 after coupons, including tax, out of my own pocket (for just over $75 in products!).  I will get back $14.98 in rebates, so already a profit of $10.41...but I also still have UP rewards left ($16!) to spend next time I shop. 





Then we headed to CVS:

They were out of stock on almost all of the Black Friday freebies, but that's okay because CVS is amazing with rainchecks.


1 Eucerin lotion ($6.99)
2 Excedrin (.99)
1 Philips headphones ($6.99)
5 Hershey's candy (.50 each)
1 Munch bar (.22 clearance...filler)
1 Carmex (.99)
2 Old Spice deodorants ($4 each)

Everything was free after ECB except for the Munch bar, lol.  I used mostly ECBs to pay, but I did end up paying a grand total of $1.22 out of pocket.  I donated $1 to St. Judes.  If not for that it would have been .22, but hey, I save more than enough to donate $1 at the register.  :o) 

I did a couple transactions, mostly because they found stuff they were in stock on while I was asking for rainchecks... but I still have $14.94 in ECBs to use next time I shop. 
Mail!


 $78.33 from Rite Aid!  I spent maybe $40 to get this.  But hey, that's a profit of close to $40!


A check from Mindfield Online for taking surveys.

Remember that $3 MP3 credit I mentioned recently?

If you're looking to get into the Christmas spirit, you can get this 99 Most Essential Christmas Masterpieces album free (and stilll have some credit left!). 

It is priced at $1.99.  As always with Amazon, you never know how long prices are going to last, so if you're interested, I would jump on this.  

If you missed the $3 MP3 credit information, just use code GET3MP3S
