I can't tell from the picture.. but what febreeze candle scents did you find on sale? I didn't see any Xmas scents in my store, but your candles don't appear to be xmas either.

Awesome job! I just cleaned out 2 Wags with their Garnier that gave overage. I made over $14 today because I used the overage to get my FAR items :)
I have a question, since you juggle 2 rebate accounts for you & dbf (I do too). I get the giftcards back for us, but I want to reuse them. But the problem is, if I use my giftcard to pay for an item, and then submit it under his rebate account, will they track what it was paid with & not give us the rebate? Or, should I just get new cards each month? I want to be able to use both cards to pay because sometimes one runs out & I have to use the other to make up for it.
Does the 6 pack of water at CVS have to be the same pack as you have been buying? I swear, you must have bigger stores than us or something because my selection of water is really not that great. they did have those flavored water but singles only for 89 cents each. NO 6 packs. Also I read on someone's blog that they find/found specific items in the "promo" isle. We don't have that either, unless that is just the isle that is full of things for that season???
I keep getting the $1/2 pretzels/candy Q's from cvs, too! The pretzels will go great with all the clearanced almond bark from Target and the cadies I'll put aside for Easter baskets - my holiday shopping is getting cheaper! I love hounding.
kc,
You can usually click on the pictures and they'll enlarge. I got the Vanilla and Apple Cinnamon scents. There's another one that is supposed to be clearanced as well (a green candle) but I haven't found that one yet. I found these candles with the rest of the Febreze candles in the air freshner aisle. They weren't marked as being on clearance at all.
Sarah,
$14 profit! Awesome job! I still have some Garnier coupons to use up, but my stores are out of clearance items at this point.
You can use either gift card to pay for your purchases. They don't track how you've paid. I just use whichever one I feel like. It doesn't matter at all.
Melissa,
As far as I know, only the 6 packs that are specially marked are producing EB's. It seems like some stores carry these specially marked items and others don't. I usually find mine in the middle of the store, right between the food sections and housewares. And that's often where they put seasonal stuff - so definitely check in that area. Sometimes they put this stuff on the end of aisles as well.
Chicagolandia - you and me both! :)
