So this isn’t exactly according to the $5 challenge, but these are some pretty good deals for what I want/need. For someone strictly doing the $5 challenge, I’d recommend just buying the nail polish for a great (and free after RR!) stocking stuffer for any lady in your life.

bodywashes, or $4 off 2 Q10 products)
$5 or 6
4 Your Life (Nature’s Bounty) multivitamins
$9.99 BOGO sale=19.98-8 (four $2/1 coupons)
$11.98 for the four (I love these gummy vitamins!)
1 Karo syrup
$ 1.99 (in-ad coupon)
0.50 coupon

Receive: $5 RR (Revlon), $4 RR (Nivea), $5 RR (get $5 RR for every $25 spent)
1st time. Not sure if I’m commenting about game night in the right place, but here is my comment. We try to keep things pretty simply in our home in order to be able to have dinner together as a family and play games together. One of our favorite games is Balderdash. Lots of laughter during this game. We have two teens. One is a freshman in college (commuting) and one that is a senior in high school. My husband and I are very blessed to be able to spend quality time with them.
today I went to get the pop art and my store was out.
I also went to get the snicker’s nut cracker individual packs and they were not even in store anywhere…
so this was my alternate scenario:
3 bags of hersheys kisses, 1 Q B2g1free, another Q 1/2hershey kisses, stack with WAGS Q 1/2= 3USD out of pocket
also purchased 3 large photo mailers for 1.29, somehow at the register though my GRAND total was 4.04
