I know I’ve been MIA most of this week!  Starting tomorrow, Saturday, my savings blogs will start up again.  In the meantime, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I have been away since Monday in chilly St Louis.  Because of that, I haven’t been as diligent as I should with blogging.   I will get back into the groove of things once I return home.  I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

In the meantime, if you are looking for Black Friday info, Black Friday Ads is a great place to go!

Happy Thanksgiving!  Publix will be closed tomorrow (Thanksgiving) but starting Friday, their new sales cycle will begin.  There are some good looking sales this week!  When you go to Publix, make sure you pick up some of their store flyers.  They have a couple of flyers out right now that are packed with store coupons.  And, as a reminder, we can use store coupons and a manufacturer coupon on just one item!!

******Two Main Notes for my Florida Blog readers – 1) When Publix has a Buy One Get One Sale, in order for us to receive the second item free, we have to buy both items.  Other states only have to buy one item and they will get that item half (50%) off.  2)  For Floridians, if we use coupons 50 cents or less, our coupons are not doubled.  Other states will double coupons as long as they are 50 cents or less.

If you have already printed this coupon out within the past few weeks, the link may not work for you.  But, if you haven’t done so already, there is a Medicare quiz you can take on CVS’ website.  After you answer the three questions, you can print out a $5 off of $30 coupon.  These coupons come in handy when you want to eliminate out of pocket spending at CVS.  Give the $5/$30 coupon to the cashier first before handing over your manufacturer coupons and/or ECBs.

**Tip, you can only print off one coupon per printer/computer.  If you print out a second coupon, the bar code numbers will be the same and the cash register at CVS will recognize that it is a duplicate copy.

If you are shopping tomorrow and are planning on stopping at Old Navy, go Here first!  If you create a Band name, create a logo and then add your band to the event lineup, you will be able to print out a 50% off coupon which must be used tomorrow – Saturday, November 21st.

There is a huge selection of Nine West shoes costing $14.95 on 6pm.com.  You can get free shipping if you spend $100 or more AND if you are a cashbaq.com member, you can receive 5% cashback!

**To learn more about cashbaq, read my “Do you earn money as you spend it?” blog.

Thanks Common Sense with Money!

There are some great high value coupons that you might want to print out!  As always though, my word of advice is to hold on to these coupons until the item goes on sale so you can maximize your savings!  And, just because these are “high value” coupons, it doesn’t mean you have to print them out if you don’t really need the items!

$1.00 off one Smuckers Uncrustables  **Attention Publix shoppers, there is a Publix store coupon for $1.00 off of 1 Smuckers Uncrustables in the Yellow Advantage Savings flyer.  And, as a reminder, you can use 1 Publix store coupon & 1 Manufacturer coupon on one item!  That’s $2.00 off one Uncrustable!  This coupon will go fast.
