I went shopping at both the Walgreens near me on Thanksgiving morning. I ended up doing 8 transactions, though I had only planned on 4, but a couple transactions got messed up and I had returns and redo's. Because I did 8 transactions I have 8 free Redbox codes to use between now and xmas. I'll probably give a couple of them to my niece.
I ended up using $73.25 in coupons. I spent $33.82 out of pocket and got enough RRs (register rewards) to have one $4 one left for next week and $45 on a Walgreens gift card. So I made $15.18 for all my shopping + add $1.20 per Redbox rental and I 'made' $27.18.
I got the following items. FP = food pantry donation
4 tubes Crest 3D toothpaste - FP
4 tubes Colgate toothpaste - FP
4 packages DenTek floss pics - FP
4 packages Preperation H wipes - FP
4 boxes Culturelle probiotics
4 tubes Cortaid anti-itch cream
2 3 ct packages Bic razors - nieces
9 Scotch mailers
9 Speed Wheels - FP toys
5 cans Libby pumpkin - donated 2 cans
On one of my transactions I got an MP4 player for $19.99, which mom paid me for and will give me for xmas.
I had lunch at my parents with my sister and her new boyfriend. After they left my parents and I played cards for several hours. I actually won a few games for a change. 
I was very tempted by the Walmart ads for a new HP computer for $289 or the laptop for $248. I decided I would drive by Walmart on my way home at 10:30 and see how busy they were and then decide if I would go back at 12. They were swamped. I've never seen so many cars in their parking lot. I just turned around and went back home. I've been watching computer prices in the sales ads for a month or so now waiting for a deal. But I can wait a little longer, that was nuts.
I finished reading my book Navarro's Promise by Lora Leigh. Paranormal - very good.

I never know what the hoopla is all about on Black Fridays, maybe because I'm usually broke then.

My best deal was on Thanksgiving day as well. I got 8 boxes of cereal (4 Honey Nut Cheerios, 4 Lucky Charms) for a total cost of $ 2.44 Not too shabby.
