Need gift cards for Christmas giving?

Check out couponnetwork.com for some terrific saving opportunities!

Deal idea: Buy $50 in JCP giftcards at Food Lion. Use them in store paired with $10/$25 coupons (when available). You earn $10 OYNO from Food Lion + stretch that original $50 GC into $70 with JCP Q's. Plus I've been told it's possible to earn rebates this time of the year however, my state is a BPR state and we are tee totallers so no dice for me.

Kmart is offering $5 OYNO When you buy $30 or more in I-Tunes cards.

There are lots of great deals to be had So be sure to check it out.

CVS

First Transaction

7 x Electrosol - $3 each $2.25/1 Q's

Excedrin $6.99 - FREE Q (not sure why but looking at my receipt it deducted $9.79)

Used a $5/$30 CVS store Q

Paid $2.41 O.O.P

Got back $10, $1.59, and .89 ECB

Second Transaction

5 12-pk Pepsi products on sale 3/$10

2 chips $2/$5

case of water $2.88

used 2 x $10, $1.59, and .89 ECBs

I know some people can do better, but I was happy with these transactions. I could have skipped the chips and added another case of pepsi to lower my out of pocket but I knew the kids would appreciate the chips. My sales tax is also 9.75% so my O.O.P. is always higher.
