Pei We Entree 25%off - December 2nd

Pei Wei will be having their Holiday Food Drive on December 2nd. You will get an entree for 25% off when you bring in a non-perishable food item to be donated to the local food pantry. It looks like only one entree on each check can be discounted. We have gift cards here from my husband cashing in his credit card points so this will help the gift card go a little longer.

Our Black Friday purchases

My husband has always gone out on Black Friday to get deals. This year was no different and I was happy to stay home away from the early morning crowds.

We weren't really looking for very many items since I did most of my kids Christmas shopping at Target in July when toys were 75% off. (see here). My husband got the Radio Flyer Big Flyer at Walmart for $30 (normally $62-$92). He got 4 cordless phones for $50.00 and 20 FREE AA batteries from Staples. He went to two Best Buys and found the Toshiba 4 GB laptop computer with FREE printer and carrying case for $500. He also went to Sam's club and purchased a wireless printer. Later in the day we returned it.

Then to top off the day, we realized our couches downstairs were 12 years old and really shabby so we purchased a couch and love seat at Ashley Furniture. They were less than $1,000 with a warranty and delivery. I would say we did our part to stimulate the economy.

Glade Candle Deal at Target continues

This deal has been going on for a while now and I have done it a few times already. I might just start my own Glade Candle store! You need these coupons to get the best savings. You should also get $10.00 of Target gift cards back for buying the 10 items!

The top coupon is $2.00 off of TWO Glade scented candle products (They are found inside the holiday glass refillable candle holder. You might also have a $1.50 off of ONE glade candle holder or tin coupon which was found in the tins of the non-holiday scents.

The middle coupon was found in 10/1/09 Smart Source section of Sunday's newspaper. (I think)

The bottom coupon was found at a Smart Source blinkie machine at Kroger (I took five to do my deal). The blinkie machines are the ones that you can find around grocery stores that blink a red light then spit out a coupon for you.

There is also a printable coupon available here.

Here is the deal: For every five holiday Glade scented oil products purchased, you get a $5.00 gift card.

Buy 5 Holiday Scented Oil Candle holders (tins or decorative glass holder) $2.50 each
Buy 5 Apple Cinnamon or Bayberry Spice Scented oil candle refills $2.50 each
(Make sure you use the Price scanners found around the store. When you scan the item it should say $5.00 gift card beside the price, if it doesn't then it is not included)

Total= $25.00

Use (5) Buy Any Glade scented oil candles holder, and get a refill pack FREE coupon
-$12.50

Use (5) Save $1.50 on any Glade candle holder
-$7.50
or
(2) Save $2.00 on Two glade scented oil products and (1) $1.50 off of 1 scented oil holder
-$5.50

Pay $5.00 or $7.00, but get TWO $5.00 gift cards

End up with an overage of $5.00 or $3.00

You can then submit for $5.00 SC Johnson Rebates. You have to use original receipts so if you want to take advantage of the family limit of 3 rebates per household then you need to ask for multiple copies of the original receipts. I have gotten two with the managers help. I don't think they can do more than two at the checkout area.


Here is a pic of some of my loot from a couple of shopping trips.


I wanted to add that I was given a hard time over this by one manager at Target. She kept explaining to me that the one coupon for buy one get one free was a coupon to be used for the two items. The cashier was very rude and the manager was not helpful. There is no such rule listed in their Corporate coupon policy. I would love to see it in writing if they do have such a rule. I had the whole transaction voided and said forget it eventually. Let's just say that I was not the quiet, subdued, soft spoken person I normally am. I have never had such hard time before....there were several things that the cashier was fussing about, not just the glade deal. So, just a warning to others that you might be given a hard time. Try going to customer service. They usually know what to do with problems.
I know that others in the couponing world use a coupon on the other item that is not free as long as it is a different item. I used 10 coupons for 10 products. This deal should work. I did not get any beeping today and the deal worked just fine.
