Holiday candy was a measly 25% off at one store, most of the other holiday clearance is 50% or 75% off.
Kroger Sweetened condensed milk was marked $1.09 on the shelf.
Land O' Frost Bistro is $2.50 - $1/1 Land O' Frost Bistro Favorites, Any - 10-09-11 RP x 12/31/11.
bogo Mars bar Deal of the Day e-coupon took off the full price of one of the two candy bars (85c), store coupon took off 51c and 52c so small mm.
I think the Marcal paper napkins were $1.99, some of the 11-06-11 RP coupons are $1/1 and some are $1/2 for the napkins.
Best I could tell, the Electronics Savings certificate Friday-Sat can be combined with the video game GC coupon (they only had one, it was at the register).

My store always seems to pull most of the holiday stuff. Very little clearance. One small table of candy that isn't even hardly marked down. 4 half shelves on a wall with some decoration type stuff. Target had a LOT more clearance than Fred's.

Some CSM pizzed me off over the freebie Rubbermaid drink bottle (got a coupon in an email). They had none, so when I checked out, I asked the cashier if I could get a raincheck for it (coupon didn;t say you couldn't). THis CSM comes over and very snottily tells me that more stock was coming in (yeah, I've heard that before) and so she wouldn't. I only shop once a week and don't know why these folks think you can just run to the store every other day. It's a 25 miles round trip just to there and back.

I debated about an email, but it's just a cheapo plastic cup...probably made in China anyway. It just annoyed me. lol
