Happy Black Friday everyone!
Yes, I was one of the lucky ones tasked with getting up before the roosters were even awake to hit the road in search of a good deal. Must admit that I was not very impressed with the Door Buster sales advertised within the 72 inserts stuffed in with my daily newspaper. Regardless, I hoped that I would be able to get a few people on my Christmas shopping list knocked out.
Does anyone else find it extremely odd at how extremely low a price can go on Black Friday? How in the world can a Kodak camera regularly priced for $400.00 be advertised for $19.99 in your local electronic store's flyer over the Thanksgiving weekend? Kinda makes me wonder what the true value of those "must have" items is. But I digress....
My most anticipated trip of the day was to Walgreens where I snagged the following:
- SAME Mood, Joint & Liver dietary supplement
- CHIAlife Omega-3
- Scunci 18-pack
- Cortaid itch relief
- GUM 2-pack toothbrushes
- Preparation H Totables
- Sheets energy strips
- ThermaCare heatwrap
- Crest 3D White toothpaste
- DenTek floss picks
- Colgate Total toothpaste
- Advil PM
- Ecotrin aspirin
- Gilette Venus Breeze razor
- Oral-B toothbrush
- Walgreens naproxen sodium
- (2) Secret body splashes
- Cover Girl lipgloss
- Revlon lipstick
Total spend = $71.44
Reward Bucks received for future use = $63.24! So... all-in-all I only paid $8.20 for all of the aforementioned product. Not as great as yesterday but pretty amazing just the same! My experience at Walgreens was a little different than what I had experienced at CVS. I was incredibly pleased to find that the store had all but one of the products I had set out to get. (No, I wasn't lined up outside the door this morning waiting to get in either.) I stopped there after all of my actual Christmas shopping excursion and the shelves were stocked to the gills and clearly labeled for the consumer. I didn't need to spend a ton of time wandering the store trying to find the items I needed. I'll be back to spend my Reward Bucks soon!
