Candles, Candles, Candles, and Electrasol!

I had come across a thread at Hot Coupon World that CVS had vanilla, evergreen, and apple spice scented Febreze candles on clearance marked from $7.99 down to $1.99.
This was an un-advertised mark down mind you, and there are $2 off coupons for these in an insert from a couple of weeks ago. So, FREE 30 hour burning candles.

I looked through my coupon stash and had several of the coupons. I tried not to get too excited because I figured they'd be sold out. To my surprise they had 12 candles left but it still said $7.99 on the shelf tag. When I asked the cashier to scan them they rang up for seventy nine cents! I was like, HELLO!
I put all of them on the counter and gave her my coupons and I paid something like $0.96 tax for the whole shebang. Happy girl, I was.



Then, I went to DG and got a BUNCH of Electrasol, too. It sells for $2.75 a box here and the coupons were for $2.50 off. So, how can I pass up a quarter a box? Well, I couldn't! This is just one of my Electrasol stockpile drawers. Thirty six boxes to a drawer. It's a sickness I tell ya, but how am I supposed to say no when they are practically giving them away? Seriously.

I also scored 4- 6oz. bags of Beggin' Strips for my puggy girl for $3. I don't know if I had such a good time becuase I was saving so much money everywhere I went, or because Chris was with me and was stunned by how much stuff we got for so little money. Probably both.

So, that was my day. :)

Grubby Style Peppermint Candles

I just thought I'd share my latest creation with you. These are my hand made grubby candles made with real crushed peppermint candy. Two styles, votives (which look soo sweet in cupcake cups I might add), and taper style.
The peppermint is sealed under a few coats of wax. It's tempting to take a lick, but I wouldn't recommend it! ;)
