Gift Cards

Boo - only 5.00 in rebates from Wags for the month of November. Apparently the holidays are a bit slow in the rebates and register rewards department because everything is already marked down so low...ah well - looking forward to February!

It was a Gift Card weekend this weekend. It all started with my mother and my friend, Allegra. Remember her? She's the one who ministers to my allergy problems...

Anyhoo - Mom got a register coupon from Meijers that was get $3 off a $25 gift card. Well - hello - that's just free money right there if you're doing your grocery shopping that weekend. So - here's what I did - bought the gift card with the coupon -paid 22$ - and THEN did my grocery shopping and paid with the $25 dollars. Instant savings. If you're going to buy the groceries anyway - why not save the 3$? Makes sense to me. Then, my register printed out a save $5 off the purchase of a $50 gift card. Well - gotta have gas next week, don't I? So I bought that GC too -(for 45 bucks!) - was thinking I'd get a save $8 off a $75 card - but my cashier's register tape ran out - ah well...I'm on the lookout for more of those!

On Friday, I took my last Allegra and had an empty pill bottle when all of a sudden I remembered! A Wags coupon/promo this week - transfer any prescription to Wags and get a $25 gift card free. Woohoo - pranced my little bottle on over there - paid 5 bucks for my script, walked out with a package of diapers and 18.65cents on a card. Hey - if they're going to pay me to shop there, who am I to say "no"? here's hopin' my inhaler doesn't run out before the next promo, eh? I could really rack up on this one - I've got scripts coming out my ears...

I think we've gotten our sickness out before the holidays. I hope so - my darling Cinderellas puked on me a collective total of 5 times this week. Ugh - we are talking full on, projectile, green bean vomiting -so repulsive. Annie always manages to soak my bra...it's disgusting. It's times like these when I'm thankful I lack the sense of smell!

But - they've come through it without so much as a call to the doctor - so I'm thankful for no fevers and here's to looking forward to a great week!
