Last Minute (cheap) Christmas Gift Ideas

Only a few more shopping days left...are YOU ready??

If you still are in need of something head over to 1800baskets.com for a GREAT deal!  I found this gift box on sale for $12.49 and then I used the code VIP10 which took $10 off my order...PLUS this gift ships for FREE!

So for under $3 I was able to ship this basket over to a friend.  It will be delivered by Friday, just in time for Christmas.  YAY!!!!  I love finding great deals:)


Need another idea?  Head over to Restaurant.com and use the code JOY for 90% off of gift certificates (which you can print from your own printer).  By using this code you can get $25 gift certificates for just $1!!

My *almost* free CVS Shopping Trip

I headed over to CVS to pick up my z-pack (bad head cold) after seeing the doctor.  Since I was there I decided to take advantage of this weeks sales and my Extra Care Bucks that were left over from my Black Friday trip.

I bought two items:
1 Lysol No-touch Hand System which was on sale for $9.99.  I had a coupon for $3 off, so my total was $6.99.
1 Complete Contact Eye Solution that was on sale for $8.99.

I was able to use the $13.31 ECB from my Black Friday trip, plus I found another $2 in Extra Care Bucks hidden in my wallet:)

My total after taxes was $1.25!  AND I received $5 ECB back from the Lysol soap and $8.99 ECB back from the contact solution.  Now I had a replenished supply of $14.99 in ECB!  YAY!

How did I get 10 FREE Christmas cards?

Although I haven't had the time to take a nice Christmas card photo, when I heard about getting 10 free Christmas cards from My Publisher I jumped at the opportunity.

My cards came in the mail yesterday.  The turnaround time is incredibly fast and the product was really nice, so I wanted to share the deal with you.

All you have to do is head over to MyPublisher and use the code HAPPY10FREE at checkout.  No need to enter in a payment method since your total will be $0.

Thanks Frugal Coupon Living!

Our Shoprite Trips - Triple Coupons!!

We were lucky enough to live close to a Shoprite (White Plains, NY) that was offering triple coupons this weekend (up to 99 cents)!! 

Together with both husbands and the little peanut we headed over there tonight after dinner.  Here is what we walked away with!

The older saster spent $62.85 and the receipts says I saved $85.80 today:)

The younger saster (only by 14 months) spent $36.08 and the receipt shows a $72.02 savings!!  She obviously wins the "I saved the most" award and bragging rights...

I cannot think of a better way of spending our Saturday night together...saving money:)

My CVS trip - 8 items for under $10.00!!

I ran up to CVS this afternoon mainly because I love Aveeno and saw that it was on sale in the CVS flyer.  While I was there I went thru the Halloween items since they were marked down 75% percent (I have no problem putting things in a box for next year)!  For less then $10.00, here is what I walked out of the store with:

Here is what I did:

My 1st Transaction:
2 Aveeno 12 oz. bottles of moisturizer (on sale; 2 for $13; regular price was 9.99)

Coupons used:
$3 off of 2 Aveeno products (from the SmartSource 10-31 circular)
$3 Extra Care Bucks left over from last week

Total after coupons and tax: $8.09  (my receipt says that I saved $12.98)
AND I received $7 Extra Care Bucks to be used on my next purchase!!!


My 2nd Transaction (I went to the back of the line so I didn't upset any customers):
1 500 mL bottle of Listerine (on sale; $3.99; regular price was $5.99)
1 pack of Trident (on sale for $.99; regular price was $1.49) - I really wanted gum today:)
4 different Halloween items found in the clearance section (all were 75% off)

Coupons used:
$1 off - Listerine (from the Red Plum 10-9 circular)
$7 Extra Care Bucks from my previous transaction

Total after coupons and tax: $1.22  (my receipt says that I saved $19.86)
AND I received $2 Extra Care Bucks to be used on my next purchase!!!


These are all items that I needed/use.  I try not to buy things just for the sake of having a coupon, but rather try to match the coupon up with a sale on something that I need or could use.

Was this helpful?  Will you be heading over to CVS for some deals?  Please share, I would love to hear about your shopping trip savings:)

I just got a cute Minnie Fleece Blanket from Disneystore.com for a little over $10 which includes personalization AND shipping!!  YAY!

Welcome to my blog!

Two sasters was started by...two sisters:)  We are 14 months apart and aside from going away to college, once we moved out of Mom and Dad's, we haven't lived more then a few miles apart.  "Saster" is a term that was coined by us...it just sounds so much better then just plain old "sister"...but don't worry - it has the same meaning:)

A few months ago we started an Etsy shop - CGCDesign!  The letters are our initials.  It was inspired by the little model in all of our pictures, our daughter/niece.  We needed an outlet for our creative spirits:)

Recently, we decided to start writing a blog for our Etsy Store, but have so much more to share then just shop updates.  Hopefully with the help of this blog, we will give you shopping tips, coupon specials, craft topics and other fun ideas!

If you haven't already, "like" us on facebook: www.facebook.com/cgcdesign

Thanks for stopping by!!

XOXO
CGCDesign
