NOVEMBER challenge: Living Off Of Your Stockpile. WINNERS in post 1088

[nateNnatsmommy]

First, have your store price check to make sure the Almay is ringing up BOGO instead of BOGO50%, then grab a ton of the one coat mascara (in pairs). Use the $4 IVC, and these will give you overage. Buy the Pureblends foundation (9.99), and pureblends eyeshadow (7.99). You'll get a $5 and $10 RR for these.

Additionally, you can grab 3 of the 6 oz lubriderm fragrance free lotions - use the $1 IVC from the diabetes book and $2 insert qs in the database. These are priced 4.29 so * 3 =12.87- (3*2 insert qs) - (3*1) = $3.87, and you'll get a $8 RR back for these.

*Looks in Awwww.* I soooo wish I could do that! What is it like to be organized enough to pull stuff like that off???

We have a chatty bunch today. It took me a half hour to get thru all the posts since I last got on here (at 6pm last night). Nice to see everyone is back to their old selves.

Went to the Ready for Kindergarten Class last night and they gave me (DS1) a 10ft long ABC Puzzle, a white board, Dry erase marker, eraser, pencil gripper, abc wood magnets (upper and lower case) in a nice wood box, and I can't remember what else. I wonder what 'tools' they will give for DS2's class in a couple weeks.

OK I better actually get some work done.

Thank you-that's makes more better sense. So you're not using a MF Q for any of the Almay? Man, what a deal! I'll have to see if I have the Lubr. q before I can do that deal-man, I hope I have that one.

Nope no MFQ - I think maybe there are some out in magazines or something? Not sure, but I know I didn't have any :(

Attachment 5037 P.S. sorry for tripping you up with the avatar change - it was just that time! Edit - I just realized there are tennis shoes on the top shelf in this pic. Definitely not anymore! Hey when the shelf was built I realized I had more space for shoes and went a little crazy afterward

I adore the pair of red pumps you have. I am a sucker for red pumps!
