COUPONING FOR A CAUSE~BLACK FRIDAY GAME PLAN!

We've got 3 major Black Friday plans going on that I wanted to share with you guys.

1) As product reviewers, we decided to do a Black Friday video on our YouTube channel of our favorite "giftable" items that we've reviewed.  We asked the sellers for coupons and most of them obliged :)  If you haven't checked out our channel, go HERE and subscribe so you'll be able to find the sweet deals!

2) I had the pleasure once of trying UV color changing nail polish that my Mother-in-Law had bought.  That means that indoors it's one color and when you head out in the sunlight, it changes color.  It's pretty neat.  It turns out this company not only has nail polish, but they also have shirts, hats, backpacks, hair clips, and lots more.  I'm in LOVE with the shirts and plan to hint heavily for my husband to buy me one for Christmas, because....that's so cool!  Here are some examples of what they have:

Pretty dang neat eh?  The name of the company is Del Sol.  You can check out their inventory HERE (referral link).  For Black Friday sweetness---They are offering 50% Off Sitewide.
Use the Coupon Code: WOAH
- Valid 11/27 – 11/29

3) Our physical Black Friday plan of attack-which stores we're going to show up at and take FREE STUFF home.  Without further ado-here are the stores and the loot we're planning on getting:

Plenti Points go onto a store rewards card (you'll want to sign up, it's free) and can be used as soon as the next day on purchases at Rite Aid, as well as AT&T, a gas station, and other stores.  I believe you have 2 years to redeem the points (I haven't couponed there since they changed to Plenti Points so it's a bit new to me.)

A couple of other Rite Aid deals you can get for free with points are:


GE Light Bulbs 1 Pack $4

Get 400 Plenti Points = $4 (limit 2)
Final Cost FREE!

Philips Earbuds $6
Get 600 Plenti Points = $6 (limit 2)
Final Cost FREE!

So, one might ask: What do you need all of that stuff for?  We plan to donate a large amount of it to a local Women's Shelter.  Nail polish, lotion, hair ties?  Great items!  Now, you want to ask what we could possibly do with all of those Register Rewards and Plenti Points....because it's a lot!  You are potentially spending around $120 at Rite Aid if you get the maximum allowed amount of freebie items per card.  You should get about that much back in register rewards.  

The answer is simple-stock up!  We plan to buy some things that don't go on sale often i.e. the kind of sensitive skin lotion I like, I'm getting low on my favorite deodorant, and we'll probably stock up on toilet paper with the rest.  If all else fails....they have food too!  It's easy to re-spend that $120!

 
 We also plan to stop by some office supply stores for freebies:
