TARGET GOES 70% OFF CHRISTMAS

I stopped in at Target today and all the Christmas went 70% off! They still had a ton of wrapping paper, ribbons, and misc stuff. There were only a few Christmas trees left.

They also had M&M's at 50% off for $1.49 a bag for those of you who love M&M's. There were plenty left on the shelf also. My daughter found Oreo's at her store for $.89. Make sure you look for other stuff besides wrapping paper!

HUGE CAULIFLOWER AT COUNTY LINE PRODUCE

We headed out to County Line Produce today to get our washed greens. My husband is born and raised here in St. Augustine and he has that southern thing about greens and black-eyed peas on New Years Day. The greens are good but the black-eyed peas kind of taste like dirt!

At County Line you get a large bag of WASHED greens for $4.50. While I was there I picked up the biggest head of cauliflower I have ever seen for $2. The broccoli head was exceptionally large and was only $2 also. Look at it next to the califlower!!

I plan on making cauliflower pizza crust but shhh....don't tell my husband because he wouldn't eat it. I am also going to make "mashed potatoes" using califlower. I can't wait to try these recipes and I will let you know!

AWESOME DEAL ON HAIR COLOR AND SIMPLE MOISTURIZER

Head over to your nearest CVS store to score an awesome deal on hair color. There are many different brands and colors there to choose from that are marked down to 75% off.

I was able to get 8 boxes of brown semi-permanent color for just $.37 per box!!  They were marked down to $2.37 and I used the $2 coupon from the 11/25 PG. Be aware that the coupon expires on 12/31/12. There still was plenty left at the beach CVS.

Also scan your card to receive a CVS coupon for Simple Moisturizer. Then go HERE and print your coupon for $3 off. I was able to buy 2 bottles of moisturizer that were reduced 50% off and paid only $1.64 after my stacked coupons! I am hoping to go to another CVS today and see if I get the same CVS coupon today also!

FLORIDA DO NOT CALL LIST

Are you tired of getting calls from solicitors? It always seem like they know just when you sit down to eat dinner. That is when the phone starts ringing.

Go to www.fldnc.com to sign up and enter your home and cell phone numbers to get on the Florida do not call list. It will not begin until the next quarter. The numbers you list will stay on the list for five years.

If you do get a call while on this list, just tell them you are on the do not call list and to take your name off their list.

HUGGIES COUPONS

I have six (6) $3/1 Huggies coupons for the Huggies Little Movers Slip-On Diapers that expire 12/31/12 if anyone would like them. I also have four (4) $2/1 Huggies coupons also.

You have to act quick on this one because they expire so soon. Please let me know if you would like them and I can arrange to get them to you.

PUBLIX 12/27/12, SPENT $2.04

I hope everyone had a very nice Christmas. I can't believe it is over with already...all the planning, cooking, shopping...and then it is over!

I didn't see much for me in this new ad so I just ran in to get a few items. The one thing I was going to buy multiples of was V-8 Juice and I bought the last two spicy bottles on the shelf. That was OK by me because I got a raincheck and will go back and get more before the ad is up. This way BOGO sale just extended for me! I was able to find 6 more bottles of vitamins to get $4.20 in overage. This is what I bought:

4 Ritz Toasted Chips
2 Bottles of V-8
4 Planters Peanuts
4 Progresso Black Beans
4 Campbells Soup-To-Go
Lettuce
Cantelope
Bananas
6 Vitamins (not shown)

I stopped at the Sertoma Thrift Store on US 1 and dropped on tons of vitamins I have been collecting including the 6 I got today. She was thrilled to get them.

My total for the above was $2.04. I'll go back and get the remainder of my V-8 juice, my Libby's vegetables and a few other things to get my total to $30 so I could use another $5/$30. I miss those Target ones already. Maybe we will start to see more of those :)

GIVING FROM YOUR STOCKPILE

My daughter and her family came home for Christmas and we have been enjoying every minute of them. Also our daughter came home for a few days from college.

Both said they needed to go shopping in J-Mart. As many of you know, this is the word my husband gave to my stockpile in the garage. Well, now he just added another one...JVS Pharmacy (instead of CVS) for all your personal needs like razors, shampoo, deodorant, etc.! JVS is located on the 2nd floor (which is my upstairs master bedroom!)

Leave it up to Art to come up with another one! I just count myself lucky and blessed that I can give to family from my stockpile and not even feel it!

Yesterday my daughter and I went to Publix to pick up some items she needed to get to make for our Christmas dinner. Included in that were a package of diapers for $10.99, 2 pkgs. green beans, 2 packages of strawberries for $7.99, milk, cookie dough, strawberry glaze, 10 cans black beans, black olives and the rest of the stuff in our cart that I can't even remember.

 Our total was $113 and I got it down just below $15. Now that is ALWAYS a great Christmas present!
