Thanksgiving Update and Some $Deals$

November 28th, 2021 at 02:59 pm

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! I celebrated with my family at my brother’s house. There were 10 of us total and we had a fantastic time with lots of food and laughs and football watching afterward. It was so nice to have everyone together again after last year, when there were only a few of us.  Lot’s to be thankful for! 

 

I am mostly finished with my Christmas shopping; I only need to pick up a gift card and a doggie toy for my niece's fur baby. I started wrapping yesterday and today I will start to decorate. I always host on Christmas Eve with a full dinner and then we open gifts. I’m looking forward to having everyone over this year. 

 

I went to CVS this morning to pick up some TP as part of a spend $30 get $10 CVS Extra Bucks back deal. But they were completely out of the TP. Since the sale just started this morning and I got there really early I asked the manager if maybe they just hadn’t put it out yet, and she said that they never received the order to stock the store. She said they have been experiencing supply chain issues like this for a while now on a variety of productsbut especially on paper products. Just something to be aware of.  

 

While I was there, I did the toothpaste deal that they have been running almost every other week, buy 2 for $7.98 and use the $7.98 off 2 CVS app coupon so these were free. I have enough toothpaste stocked up so I will give these to BFF.  I also bought 2 boxes of candy, a Whitman sampler, and a Russel Stover sampler. These were buy 1 get one free. I paid using my $10 Carepass Extra Bucks so I only paid .48 cents for tax. I give these for Christmas gifts.   

 

The senior center gave out a really nice Thanksgiving food box last week. I received a 15 lb. frozen turkey, potatoes, sweet potatoes, gravy mix, stuffing mix, cranberry sauce, etc. Really everything for a standard Thanksgiving dinner. Since I already have the free turkey from the Weis grocery store points giveaway, I gave this turkey and some of the other items to my elderly neighbors. They are a sweet couple in their late 70’s who I check in on every so often. They don’t have any family close by, their daughter lives about a 3-hour drive away. Miss D reminds me of my mom and I enjoy her stories and lovely kind nature. It’s a pleasure to help them out here and there. 

 

The weather here on the east coast has been cold and windy the past couple of days and I even saw some brief snow flurries last night. Today is sunny and a bit warmer. Well, it’s time for me to get to decorating!

    Thanks for the update on the toothpaste deal. I have done it a few times already but I will do it again.
    I did the candy deal last week, plus bought three cans of soup, added a small package of CVS cookies to get free delivery, and with my Carepass $10 and extra bucks, spent $.88! One can of soup shipped separately, and the price was $.05!

    Are your elderly neighbors not eligible for the Senior food giveaway? It delights me to see the wonderful variety you receive each month.

    Lots of Ideas: You put together a great deal! I explained to my neighbors that all they need to do is register as members of the senior center and they would be eligible for the food giveaway. I even offered to drive them over but so far they have declined. I don't want to push.

    We had snow (just a dusting) last night too.

    You are the turkey queen! So neat that you scored another one. Perhaps your neighbors will consider registering with the center now.

    That Thanksgiving box sounds like such a blessing!
