Martin's has I Can't Believe It's Not Butter sticks on sale for $1.79 this week. I purchased two packages and used two $1.00/1 manufacturer coupons from the November 18, 2009 Red Plum insert. My out of pocket total was $1.58. I also received a catalina coupon for $2.00 off my next shopping order. After the catalina coupon, it was like getting two packages of butter sticks for free plus a profit of .42 cents. These will come in handy for my holiday baking and candy making.
Martin's has Keebler Club Crackers on sale for $2.00 per box. The boxes at the Martinsburg store had peelie coupons for .55 cents off (which doubled)---making them just .90 cents per box. Don't forget that the Martinsburg store will only double one like coupon per transaction. If you want to purchase more than more box, then do separate transactions.
I have another great rebate to share with you. Get $10.oo back when you purchase $25.00 or more in gift cards. Offer valid November 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009. No beer purchase is required for residents of the the following states: AL, AR, CT, HI, IN, KY, ME, MO, NC, NJ, NY, OK, UT and WV. These type of rebates are my favorite and the easiest to complete. I have some extras rebate forms if anyone is interested.
Here is a little something you may not know about me: I LOVE all things monogrammed! This brings me to another inexpensive and personal gift idea I'd like share with you. While purchasing some books for Christmas presents at Books-A-Million today, I found beautiful monogrammed luggage tags marked 50 % off.
I purchased three of these beauties for just $3.49 each this afternoon. Would have loved one for myself, but they didn't have any letter "S" left. There were an assortment of letters still in stock at the Martinsburg store. These will make great gifts for three friends! The luggage tags are chocolate brown with taupe lettering and a bow made of grosgrain ribbon. 
I love making homemade Christmas gifts. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to post some of the homemade gifts I'm making this holiday season for family, friends and teachers. Today, I want to share with you coasters I've been making this weekend. After quick stops to Target, Michaels and Lowes, I went right to work. Mine are not perfect, but I'm still pleased with them.
I cannot take credit for this brilliant and simple idea. For complete directions, please visit Traci's blog HERE.
Martin's has Sorrento cheese sticks on sale for $2.00 per package of twelve. My friend, Staci, called to let me know that there were $1.00 peelie coupons on some packages. I purchased five packages (mozarella, pepper jack & cheddar) and used five $1.00 peelie coupons---making each package just $1.00. This a fantastic deal for cheese sticks! My son is a happy boy because he loves having cheese sticks for snacks.
Martin's has large boxes of Jello Chocolate Caramel Chip pudding marked down to .59 cents per box. I purchased three boxes and used a tear pad coupon for $1.25/3---making each box just .18 cents. I'll be using the Jello to make a simple chocolate mousse over the holidays.
Yesterday, I picked up some bags of M&M's at Target that were on clearance 75% off for just .74 cents per bag. I purchased eight bags (both regular & peanut) and used four $1.00/2 Target M&M coupons HERE---making each bag just .24 cents. The total for all eight bags was $1.92. I love baking and these will come in handy for M&M cookies and other homemade treats.
