Thanks for the challenge. I usually figure out these deals later in the week, but I managed to get some together now.

Man, I was so tempted to go over my $5 limit. But I stayed within it and still got some sweet deals in my scenario. Thanks for the linky, Alyssa!
I found this site after I did this- the irony is that I found $5 in my pocket the morning that I did this drugstore run, and when all was said and done, I had $1.04 left of that $5 and a BUNCH of stuff! Thanks for the opportunity to link up- mine (fabstealsanddeals) is a new blog and website, and we are focusing on coupon education, saving money, and helping our community by couponing (though the blog is mostly dealing with new “steals and deals” and sales). 🙂 I have already added yours to my RSS feed. I really appreciate it!!! 🙂
