Well, it’s Black Friday! The day of all the amazing sales. Wonderful deals on things that we just HAVE to have.
And where was I at 6:00am? At home. My husband went hunting (and bagged quite a few ducks! Blech.), so I stayed home with the boys. I live in an inky-dinky town (which is close to a larger city, so don’t feel sorry for me!), and like most small, American towns, we have a Safeway, a Rite-Aid, and a Walmart.
At about 7:45 I woke Grant up. He said, “What? Do I have school today? Then why are you waking me up so early?” I’m sorry, but that just cracked me up!! He’s never complained about waking up on a non-school day, and yet this morning my first grader sounded like a teenager. It gave me the giggles! And, so he got up.
I took the boys out on the town to see what we could see. Okay, so actually, my goal was to hit Rite-Aid before 9:00am to grab my 2 free 2-liters with any purchase of $10 or more. I should have taken a picture of what I purchased, but I’ll just break it down for you:
2-2 liters of Pepsi products
2 bags of Hershey’s Kisses
2 bags of Hershey’s Miniatures
1 box of feminine items (blush . . . yes, I blush at 33 . . . )
5 packs of super-nice, majorly expensive (uh, well, regularly $7.99 each) Schick razors
1 can of shaving cream
1 Oral-B toothbrush
And, I paid $10.74 OOP (out of pocket)
PLUS, I’ll be getting $6 back in Rite-Aid Rebates, and I am closer to my Gift of Savings reward! Which means, that I got all of that for only $4.74. (And if I’d been paying attention, I would have picked up the correct bags of chocolate OR used another coupon, however . . . I had the boys with me. I am not terribly successful when the boys are with me, bless their little hearts!)
If this is the first time you’ve come to my blog, I just need to warn you that I’m a couponer. I am.
WHY am I telling you all of this on my 30/30 post? Well, because this cute little Popcorn Cup Template is filled with Hershey’s Kisses that I picked up on sale this morning!! Wahoo!
I used papers, a button and a flower from my stash by Close To My Heart and a ribbon from who-knows-where.
Isn’t it cute? This would NOT last in my tree. I’ll tell ya that right now. I wonder if the contents will even last one evening! It is cute, though. Imagine this little box with a little Matchbox car or itty-bitty My Little Pony tucked inside! (I know. I’m gettin’ all commercial on ya.)
Anyway! Just wanted to share!

Too funny about Grant’s reaction to being woken up. LOL Sounds like you did great even with the boys in tow!
Love the popcorn box idea! Yummy kisses, too, that wouldn’t last in this house either.
I’m so impressed, Kelleigh! You are in the home stretch now!!!
