19¢ Nailpolish at Walgreen's

If you have a Walgreen's clse to you - they have some pretty good deals this week. The main one is that they have this high dollar (in my book) Revlon Nail Polish on sale. I think it is about $8.50 normally, but a lot of the colors are on closeout for $3.19. Inside the front door they have these books called "Easy Saver Rebate Book". In these books are $3.00 of this Nail Polish. That makes it only 19¢ each! Limit one polish per coupon. I have heard that some of the stores will let you get several and just scan the coupon over and over again, but I haven't had the nerve. I've gotten three colors of "Nearly Buff" so far. I usually wear clear, but I like this nearly buff stuff - it hasn't chipped or come off in three days and I hand wash all the dishes in the house. It's a good deal if you are close or going there anyway.

Another thing is the Ultra Blood Glucose Monitors are on sale for $30.00. There have been coupons in the newspaper lately for $30.00 off one - so they are FREE! I have gotten four so far - two went to a local church where they were helping Katrina Victims, one went to an Elder in our Cherokee group that needed a monitor and one will go to the School Nurse to have as a backup. We do have to pay Sales Tax here so it does cost $3.00 to get the free monitor. But, in the end, they really help people. These things are normally nearly $80.00 each.

Went to the Salvation Army today. DS did most of the shopping with his own allowance. DS got the newest Captain Underpants book in MINT condition for 25¢, a NWT September 11th "America" Beanie Baby for $2.00 (DS collects and loves these now that we can get them second hand and cheap), two other books for DS for 25¢ each, a "Teacher's Pet" VHS movie for $1.00 for DS, a nice divided basket for the Flea Market and another nice laundry style basket to put things in at the Flea Market. Oh, yes, my best del by far - a nice leather COACH bag complete with register number inside. The real deal! That's for resell!

Hint of the Day: Take your kids thrifting and yard saling to look for books, toys, etc. Things are so cheap and usually in great condition. Where else can they get a puzzle, a book and three toys for a dollar and still get CHANGE back???
