    Me too. I've never done it before, but I'm thinking about it this year. If I can find someone to watch the munchkin!

    Here's a 5 transactions I just threw together. All I am really trying to do is roll my ECBs up since I do not need any of this stuff but its great to have to give to others or for stocking stuffers.


    (2) Colgate $2.99 - (2) $1.50 IQs
    (1) Aussie Conditioner $2.99 - (1) $1MQ
    (1) Johnson's Soft Lotion $5.69 - $1 IQ
    (1) JJ First Aid Kit $.99 - $1CVS Q

    $15.65 before tax & Qs -
    Also have $3/$15 - $6.65 before tax & after all Qs (will use ECBs to bring that down to under a dollar) - will get back $14.66 in ECBs


    (2) Gatorade - $1.49 - $1/2 beauty book Q
    (1) Garnier nutritioniste Cleansing Towelettes $5.99 - (1) $1MQ
    (1) Bic Soleil razor - $5.99 - (1) $3MQ
    (1) candy bar filler - $.50

    $15.46 before tax -
    Also have $3/$15 - $7.46 (will use ECBs to bring that down to under a dollar) - will get back $14.96 in ECBs

    (1) Maybeline Foundation $8.99 - (1) $3MQ
    (1) Bic Soleil razor $5.99 - (1) $3MQ
    (1) Sally Hansen Maximum Growth nourishing nail color $3.79 - (1)$1Kmart Beauty Book Q
    (2)candy bars fillers - $1

    $19.77 before tax & Qs -
    Two $3/15 - $6.77 before tax & after all Qs (will use ECBs to bring that down to under a dollar) - will get back $18.77 in ECBs

    (1) Aussie conditioner $2.99 - (1)$1 MQ
    (2) Hershey bars $1 - BOGO($.79)
    (1) Covergirl Smoothers powder $5.99 - (1) $1MQ
    (1) Covergirl Smoothers liquid makeup $7.99 - $1MQ

    $18.97 before tax & Qs -
    Two $3/15 - $9.18 before tax & after all Qs (will use ECBs to bring that down to under a dollar) - will get back $17.97 in ECBs


    (1) Loreal colour juice sheer lipgloss $6.99 - (1)$1MQ
    (1) Gatorade $1.49 - $.30MQ
    (1) 5hr energy pak $3.99
    (1) Philips Headphones or Magnavox Universal Remote $6.99
    (1) JJ First Aid Kit $.99 - (1) $1 CVS Q

    $20.46 before tax & Qs -
    One $4/$20 & one $3/15 - $11.16 before tax & after all Qs (will use ECBs to bring that down to under a dollar) - will get back $19.46 in ECBs

    So my basic plan involves turning in around $38 in ECBs and spending roughly$2 OOP wherein I will get back $85.82 in ECBs for an estimated profit of rough profit of $47 in ECBs and of course all the stuff I will be galvanting out of the store with.

    I also have another card(the DH's) so I could be there awhile and potentially walk out with an extra $100 in ECBs I didn't have when I walked in.

    Just saw another transaction I know I will probably do:

    (1) Loreal Lipgloss $6.99 - (1)$1MQ
    (1) PLaytex Sport tampons $3.99 - $2.50IQ
    (1) Schick Quattro trimmer $7.99 - $2IQ
    (2) candy bar fillers - $1

    $19.97 before tax & Qs -
    Two $3/15 - $8.47 before tax & after all Qs (will use ECBs to bring that down to under a dollar) - will get back $15.99 in ECBs

    Default Black Friday

    We get the newspaper on Thursday and make our game plan. Last year we were in Wisconsin and our outlet mall opened at midnight with all kinds of special deals at the clothing stores. We were in line before midnight. (I have teenagers to get clothes for). AFter several hours there we went home to sleep a couple of hours. Then we were off to Walmart, Target, MC Sports for all their early specials. I went to MC Sports, my daugher got dropped off at Walmart, and my husband went to Target. More or less it is like a race once the doors open to get to where ever they hide the specials. We wanted 2 of the video recliner rockers from Walmart and got them. We also got paintball guns from MC sports. I really can't remember everything but it was a complete success.
    After the early morning craziness we went home for a couple hours of sleep before we left on a 4 hour trip. What a day! But we saved hundreds of dollars.
