Ho ho ho, Merry Glademas! [Updated: + Some in-the-works gift baskets!] PICS!

[Chantel]

[DISCLAIMER: NOT ALL PURCHASED IN ONE SHOPPING TRIP]
I do not shelf clear These were purchased over six shopping trips in the last month or so.

Nary a penny was spent on these besides tax! ARV including tax? $160! These will be going in holiday gift baskets and some of them are already being used around the house to give us some christmassy cheer They smell great too, the tree smells like real trees!

And yeah I know I stocked up big time Usually I don't get this many of anything, but I never shelf cleared and I asked about when new stock would be coming in so I could get a few each time and never inconvenience anybody else. So newbies, I guess that's how to do it if you want a lot of something but want to be courteous to other shoppers.

I also feel really great about these because I've shared a bunch of coupons with people! My auntie a few weeks ago came shopping with me and got a candle holder, two refills, a spray and a decor scents holder with 2 refills for free! She's often a bit skeptical about how much we really save by doing our couponing, and it was so nice to see her get a treat she wouldn't have otherwise purchased at all because it was free!

Then today there were two guys near my mom and I while we were shopping, and they spotted my binder so I told them all about how to save, gave them some coupons and sent them home with some free Glade as well It feels so nice to share!

Merry Glademas

If anybody has seen the peppermint aerosol in a store in BC please tell me! I've only seen the peppermint scented oil candle refills and candles in the 4 pack, no spray yet!

UPDATED: Gift baskets! Posted in the Christmas 2011 thread as well!

Gift basket-y inspirations





Unfinished, this is the first draft. I'm thinking I may like to add a glade candle holder to basket 1, but I need another (bigger) basket for it.

Opinions?

UPDATE 2: I had to go try making the first basket with the holder. Opinions on that too please

[Patty Smyth]

Great brag, but I am anxious for the day when we do not have to put disclaimers on our brags anymore.

[DianneS]

Great job, Chantel!

[cheap mom]

[aimee1]

Great job, please share how you got all that free I would love some tips. I am queen of smellies, my husband thinks I am trying to kill him with all the automatci sprays I have!!

[cheap mom]

Ha! that's funny aimee1

[EdmontonGal]

I didn't set foot into a london drugs to get these My LD doesn't even carry the holiday collection as far as I know, I peep into that aisle every time I work just to see, and haven't seen one. All the other holiday decorations are up and what seems to be the bulk of holiday stock is in, so I doubt LD is gonna get any of these.

Everything came from RCSS, except the two green sprays with stickers on them, those were from last year's holiday collection and I found them at Zellers for $2 apiece on clearance, still free with $2 insert coupon that expired in august (I got them in august, of course ).

EVERY item in the picture aside from the island-spray and the decor scents is 3.99, regular price, at RCSS. They were advertised at this price the other week, as if it was actually a sale. Nope, regular! With a $2 coupon (for the refills or the sprays) or $3 coupon (for the holders) from the inserts that had colgate on the cover a few weeks ago, PLUS the RCSS coupon zone coupons for $2 off any glade (last one expired nov 2, this current one expires dec 4 so you have lots of time!) every item here was FREE!

Tax on four items will cost you 96c, and that's all you'll pay!

I'm confused sorry.... you say that they are regular price $3.99... - $2.00 off coupons = $1.99....?? How did it work out to be free?? You can stack the 2x $2.00 off at LD but like you said you didnt get them at LD??

[Chantel]

OMG. I am so sorry LOL. Kitty is stomping my lap into a pulp and I forgot to add the PLUS $2 COUPON ZONE COUPON.

Whoops! So it should read, $2/$3 coupon + $2 coupon zone coupon = free! I'll edit that so nobody else gets confused. Sorry Silly me.

[happy_me24]

That's awesome! Way to go!!!! .....

ps..... I wouldn't have cared if it was all in one trip or spread over a bunch But I get the disclaimer......

My RCSS no longer accepts a cz with a manufacturer coupon. I was stocking up on glade until my stopped. Good to know there is a new glade coupon though. Maybe I will try another store.
