Glade Candle Score

Things have been busy here this week. We had guests over the weekend, a company holiday party to attend, and then a quick trip out of town for a conference my husband had to attend. I did get a couple of good deals at Rite Aid. Wonderful Pistachio's are on sale for 4.88 - 1.00 coupon - 2.00 UPs. $1.88 a bag? I'll take 4, please.

I took the kids to get their pictures with Santa while we were out of town. My county does not have a mall, so we don't have a Santa unless you attend special events. The next county over does have a mall, but the set up for Santa is a little weak. I'll confess, I went along with my husband just to go to the mall! The kids did as well as you could expect 2 year olds to do. While we were in line, my son kept saying: "Santa! Yay!" and my daughter: "Santa! Presents! Baby Dolly!", and they kept staring and pointing at Santa. They were so excited! Until we actually got up to Santa, and then they completely freaked out. It's a cute picture, but they are not happy!

Now for the Glade deal. Target is running a sale on Glade Winter items where they are $2.50 each, and you get a $5.00 gift card when you buy 5. I finally found the elusive tear-pad of coupons for $3.00/3 Glade Winter items. And I still had the $5.00 Target gift card from the Starbucks coffee I bought last week.

This is what I bought for $12.48 + tax:

Transaction 1:

25.00 10 glade items @ 2.50 each

5.98 2 Air Wick candles @ 2.99 each

1.27 1 bottle of Target baby shampoo

- 10.00 Glade coupons (3 x $3.00/3 and 1 x $1.00/1 glade spray)

- 6.00 Air Wick coupons (2 x $3.00/1)

-.05 Store coupon. I'm not sure how this was entered, but I'll take it.

Total: $16.20 - $5.00 gift card = $11.20 + tax. And I received 2 $5.00 gift cards.

Transaction 2:

9.98 2 Hickory Farms turkey summer sausage

3.30 2 Kandoo toddler wipes @ 1.65 each

- 2.00 Kandoo coupons (2 x $1.00/1)

Total: $11.28 - $10.00 gift cards earned above = $1.28 + tax
