Bargains to Get and GIVE

So I have become obsessed with all of these great toy deals out there, but really .. my kids don't need any more toys!
So I have decided to use them to give this holiday season.
Each week, I am taking the boys, with coupons in tow, to buy 1-4 'great deal' toys. We are putting them in one box and I plan to donate them the first week of December to Toys for Tots or a similar organization.
Here is what we got last week:

Mr & Mrs Potato Head
FINAL COST: $3 FOR BOTH
[7.99 each: B1G1 free at Fred Meyer, used a $2 off coupon from coupons.com, also had $3 off any toy coupon from my FM rewards.]

Santa Claus Spuds Bud Mr. Potato Head
FINAL COST : .99 cents
[5.99 at Target, used a $5 off Spuds Bud Mr Potato Head from coupons.com]

Connect Four Travel Edition
FINAL COST: .49
[5.49 at Target, used a Connect Four coupon here]

Glade Candles Target Deal

Not sure if you are an avid reader of all these deal-blogs, but this is one that I just love.

I am not super-sold on the glade candles, but these will make great holiday gifts for a hostess, teacher, or even to put together with some other items as a donation basket for a silent auction.

Basically here is the deal:

At TARGET, when you purchase 5 holiday Glade products, you get a $5 gift card.

This week, glade candles, refills, etc, are $2.50 each
Use various Glade coupons:
Buy One Scented Oil Candle Holder, Get One Free
Other coupons, $1.50 off 2 candles, etc. at Right At Home
Some of the tins have $1.50 off coupons in them too.

So, you should end up, after coupons paying about $1.50 per item [based on 5 items] = $7.50
You get a $5 Target gift card back.
You submit a rebate for $5 from.

Sweet.

Keep your receipt and submit this $5 REBATE [SC Johnson]

Target TOY coupons and MORE

There are some great toy coupons for Target available:

For those of you who don't know already, you can combine these WITH manufacturer coupons [for example, you can save even more on the TAG reading systems by going to the leapfrog.com site and printing out their coupon, too!], for great deals. The holidays will be here before you know it, so save money on something you would buy anyway.
