12/21 - Bath & Body Works
Ok, I had another free Lip product with any purchase coupon. This time I got a small travel size bottle of Lemon Hand Sanitizer and Apple Cider Lip Gloss. I paid $1.59 for this purchase. My savings was 82%.
12/21 - Freebie and Rebate Check
Today I got another Freebie and a Rebate Check in the mail.
My freebie was a 1.41 oz sample of Starbucks Natural Fusions Vanilla Flavored Ground Coffee and a $1.50 coupon on my next purchase. This will be great to go with my Keurig Coffee maker that I'm getting for Christmas. I will just have to purchase the reusable filter so I can use regular coffee instead of the K-cups.
I also received a $9.98 rebate check from Rite-Aid Single Check Rebates from my November purchases.
I really love Freebies, and the rebate checks are awesome too!!!

12/20 - JC Penney
And now for my next purchase with coupons. Remember I am only posting my purchases that I use coupons. I make other purchases for items I need but can't find coupons or places that don't usually have coupons available.
I took Amber to JC Penney to show her an item that I had been looking at since Black Friday, but wasn't sure if Matt would like it. It was a Cooks 3 in 1 Breakfast Center. It was a toaster oven, griddle, and 4 cup coffee pot all in one. The only drawback was that it was red. I'm still not sure that he will like it, but we decided to get it anyway. I got a really good deal on this one too, 54% off.

12/20 - FinishLine
This is another 2 part transaction. We decided to go to FinishLine after we left Hibbett Sports to see if they had the Nike's that Matt wanted and to look at a another pair of sweats for him. They had the shoes and they had his size, they also had a nice pair of sweats there also. I had 2 coupons that I had received in the mail, $10 off $60 or more and $20 off $100 or more. The shoes were $114.99 and the sweats were $60. Neither item was on sale, so I decided to split my purchase into two separate transactions to maximize my savings. If I had done only one transaction I would have only saved $20 instead of $30. The percentages weren't that great 12% for each transaction, but the way I look at it, any savings is great.

12/20 - Hibbett Sports
I still needed to get some Christmas presents for Matthew so I sent his girlfriend, Amber, a text asking her if she knew what he wanted. I had asked him several times, but he wouldn't tell me much. Some of the things he told me I had no idea what to get, such as new rims for his Mustang. That's something he would have to pick out and get himself. No way I was going to do that!! Everyone knows how boys are about their wheels. After sending several texts back and forth, we decided to meet at the mall later to shop. This is actually the first time I have spent this much time with her since they started dating almost 3 years ago. I had a good time, I hope she did too.
While we were at Hibbett Sports she showed me a pair of Nike's that he wanted, but they didn't have his size in them. She also showed me the North Face jacket that she had bought for him for Christmas. She said he wanted a toboggan to go with it, but they didn't have any that matched. (I don't think he would have liked the pink one). So then she said he wanted some silky sweat pants. They had plenty of those to choose from. I picked out 2 pair. One pair was originally $55, on sale for $41.25, and the other pair was originally on sale for $26.25. And guess what, yes, before I left the house I found a coupon. It was for 20% off one item. The 20% was subtracted from the highest price garment so I only paid $33 for the $55 pair of sweats. Really sweet. I ended up saving 30% on this transaction.

12/20 - Disney Store Order Received
Kristen had decided to wait until she got home from Disney to purchase her souveniers. She wanted a snow globe but she knew that she couldn't carry it on the airplane and she didn't want to put it in her suitcase because she was afraid that it would get broken in the luggage hold. We placed the order on 12/13 and received it on 12/20.

12/19 - Rite-Aid again
After we left the mall we went back to Rite-Aid to use the +up rewards that I had gotten earlier in the evening. I also needed $30 in purchases to get a $20 gift certificate for their "Gift of Savings" Promotion.
I actually ended up with 3 transactions while there. I did 2 of the transactions on purpose, the other one was because I forgot to go back and get an item and put it in the shopping cart for the second transaction. I was glad afterwards that I did this because I ended up getting a better deal this way.
My first transaction was for two 12 pack cans of Coke Zero and one 12 pack cans of Coke Classic. Coke products were on sale 3/$9.99, receive $2 +up rewards. This transaction was a 60% savings, plus the $2 +up rewards, plus codes in each of the 3 boxes worth 30 points at http://www.mycokerewards.com/
My second transaction was a Christmas gift for Kristen. Yes, she was with me and she picked it out. I think this has happened with about 90% of her gifts this year. She already knows what she is getting (mostly). There are a few surprises, but not many. While we were shopping she found a WII Fit 7 in 1 Kit and a WII Sports Resort 8 in 1 Kit. These items were 25% off and gave $2 +up rewards each.
My third transaction was a stocking stuffer for Matthew. I was going to go back and look at the cologne gift sets after Kristen showed me the WII Kits, but I forgot and paid for my first 2 transactions. As I was getting ready to walk out the door I remembered the cologne. I had a coupon for $5 off a gift set. I ended up choosing the Tim McGraw Silver 0.5 oz spray. I didn't get any +up rewards for this transaction, but I was able to use the ones that I got on my second transaction. I got this for an 83% savings!!
