Xmas shopping

Today I had a mystery shop to do, it was for lunch. I also had gotten $110 in Kohls Cash this past weekend for buying for something else. I asked my kids to give me a Xmas gift list and only one child could do it.

First I went to Kohls and returned an item I had bought for my sons birthday (back in October) that he won't wear (pajamas). I got a credit for $19.31 towards my credit card. I then went and found some pants, 3 hoodies and a few shirts to give for Xmas presents. Total after Kohls cash, $13.12, I put it on my Kohls card.

I went to lunch and did my shop. It cost me $6.70 for which I will be reimbursed and also I will be paid $4 for the shop fee.

I then went to Best Buy. I have gotten a few good things in the mail the past few months. I have received a $5 and $15 bonus cash thing from Best Buy for spending money there (rug shampooer, phone, vacuum filter). I also filled out a couple promotions that I qualified for-
2 for Smucker's which were worth $4 each towards a movie rental or DVD purchase.
2 From Harris Teeter/Kellogg's when I went to do a $10 rebate it was the same day as another deal they had going on that also qualified me for $10 Book/Soft wear/Fashion purchase and I did that twice, so I got $20 from those (in addition to my 2 $10 kelloggs rebates). I found 2 PC software games my son wanted and they ended up costing me $6.79 out of pocket and I used a $5 BB cash and 2-$10 Software checks-which still leaves me with 2 $4 checks and $15 BB cash.

With what I spent today for xmas presents, I actually ended up ahead of the game by $3.40.
