Buy 10 Save $5 Mega Event

You can do more than one group of five in one transaction – I did five groups this morning.  A few items that were listed in the ad weren’t yet marked with the sale prices, but I bought some of them and they worked just fine.

This sale runs for two weeks (through 11/10), but keep in mind that there are quite a few coupons that expire on 10/31 or 11/1, so be sure to use those before they expire!  My guess is that we’ll be getting new copies of those ones that expire on Sunday; keep your eye on Sunday Coupon Preview to see what we’ll be getting.

Prices listed below are after the instant savings of $5 for buying 10 items.  Oh yeah, and there are e-coupons from Cellfire and Shortcuts.com.  Here we go!
