Sunday Ads 12/20: Christmas Prep Edition
WRAPPING SUPPLIES
Green or purple 3-packs of Scotch tape are $2.99 at both Target and Walgreens (with in-ad coupon). Big Lots has Red 3-packs of transparent tape for $1.25, but I don't know if the rolls are the same size.
Hallmark stores: this isn't in a Sunday ad, but I'm hitting a Hallmark store to get wrapping paper with the $5/$5 printable coupon. Thanks to this tip from Mashup Mom, I hope to get two big rolls for $1 after the coupon.

You can't use the $1/2 Zooth or Crest at CVS because it's limit 1 on the Extrabucks. However, there's a $1/1 coupon for Oral-B floss or Crest glide in the 11/29 P&G that makes it free. There's also printable $2 on Nivea and $1 on Thermacare out there.
At Walgreens, cans of peanuts are 99 cents for 10oz.

I'm so excited this year to give stockings. They're so full of cheap (and free) goodies like Toblerone, almonds, Fannie May, Burts Bee, etc. Thank you couponing! And thank you, Carrie, for all your work on your blog!

Walmart has a Motorola LG200 phone for only $29.99. I got my daughter that along with the Straight Talk unlimited prepaid plan for $45 a month. It's not $5/$50, but since it's unlimited everything it's a budget gift for me because she won't be running up any big texting bills.

Check out your local Dollar General. For $10, you can get a cell phone bundle for Tracfone. It comes with a car charger, handsfree headset and a case in additional to double minutes. What a deal!!!
This is what I'm going to use to stuff my neices and nephews stocking this year!
