Target, CVS & Walgreens. Great day!!

Target is having a sale. When you buy 2 Glade soy candles you get a $5 gift card!!! This is a great Money Maker!!

Buy 2 glade soy candles at 5.79 each = $11.58
used (2) 4.00 glade IP = $8.00

So, $11.58 - $8.00 = $3.58 and received a $5.00 giftcard!!

That's a $1.42 MONEY MAKER!!!


Then I used the $5.00 gift card to pay for this great deal I found on a pair of girls jogging pants. They were clearanced from $9.99 to $2.48!!!

Paid with giftcard so $0.00 out of pocket!!! And I still have over $2.00 left on my GC!!!

CVS
Spent o.02 cents!!! LOL
Found all of this candy at 90% off!! Yay for me!!! This was $2.02 but I used $2.00 ecbs so I just had to pay 2 cents out of pocket

Walgreens

Nivea Body Wash 4.99
Rembrant Mouth wash 5.99
Ecotrin 45ct 2.00
Subtotal: 12.98

used:
2.25 Ecotrin IP
12.98 - 2.25 = $10.73 + .41 tax =$11.14 which I paid with GC so NOTHING out of pocket!!
And I received $6 RR for Rembrant, $5 RR for Nivea and $2 RR for Ecotrin
Summary:
Paid $11.14 with gift card
Received $13 RR's
Profit: $1.86!!! YAy for me!!
So today I spent $3.58 cash for $27.00 worth of product!! And I still have over $2.oo in my Target GC and $13 RR's to spend at Walgreens!!
Not bad...not bad....
Be on the look out in the next few weeks for a change of name on my blog. I want to have a blog name that reflects what I do here...sharing my savings!! I will keep "New Beginnings (fresh genesis)" will be used in the future more towards devotionals and inspirational stuff.
If you have any good ideas feel free to leave a comment. So far I have "Saving along with Susan" but Im open for suggestions!!
