i did go out today for some good deals. i just don't do the 'butt crack of dawn' thing for the 'limited to 2' or 'door buster' deals. i was up around 7:15 this morning (this is as close as i can get to sleeping late). by the time i got out the door it was about 9am and i ran to Petsmart for the $7.99 deal on kitty litter which they still had tons left. picked up 4 for my parents and bought a 5th to donate to a group that was there asking for cat supplies. got a sweet deal on a canister filter for my 55 gallon fish tank for about 1/2 the price, a light strip for the same tank since my old hood died about 1 1/2 years ago. got some other items but basically everything i got was about 1/2 off their regular prices. told my DH i got my own gift this year & don't worry about getting me anything.
went to the feed store & used my $15 off $50 purchase to get chicken feed & cracked corn, and picked up 2 bags of black oil sunflower seed for $13.99/each. tomorrow i will run back there to use another good coupon they had for Saturday only, i'll pick up my stockpile of shavings to get me through the winter months.
mom gave me a coupon for JC Penney's so i ran there and got towels and spent $19 for 6! i really needed to replace a few that were getting tattered. ran down to the yarn store to pick up an order i had placed a couple months ago. the color is much better looking than their website made it out to be, i am so happy i got it. now to start working on my project!
