We're sure you've dreamed about it all year long, so the world has joined in by celebrating National Fruitcake Day. YAY!
By November, we already know the holidays have arrived when we see these cakes filled with dried or candied fruit at the checkout register. Have you ever re-gifted one of these for Christmas? Just curious.
DEALS
I love a good bargain, and try to save money whenever possible. After a holiday is one of the best times to grab some of the best deals. But going the next day may not offer the lowest price. Even better, all those coupons you were waiting to use definitely come in handy. Walmart had Halloween Softsoap on sale for $.19 a bottle on November 18, 2016. So what if the bottle had a witch or pumpkin on it, right? Those are just fun decorations to me. Then I had 3-$1.00 coupons. I managed to snag 20 bottles for a whopping $.86 cents. Be vigilant, because sometimes marked down items show up in weird places around the store. I got too lazy to take pics of all those bottles. YIKES!
Did you know Walmart also has a Clearance Aisle in the grocery department? I managed to snag marked down coffee with a $2.00 off coupon for just $2! Purex - was only $1.00 because the bottle was on clearance in Carlie Cee's, and I had a coupon. A High Value coupon for Poise made it just $1. Cargo Eye Shadow from Kohl's was FREE because I received a FREE promo in the mail. It was marked down in the cosmetics section in a tiny clear tray, despite the cashier telling me they had nothing on sale!
Then I'm blessed with Freebies in the mail like teabags, dish cloths, raw sugar, coconut oil, magazine subscriptions, tea and more.

To be honest I'm not sure I've ever had a real honest to goodness fruit cake. Not sure how that happened but I also don't think I'm all that upset about it! Those are some fantastic deals! I love Cargo cosmetics. I hadn't realized Kohls had started carrying that line. Will definitely have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I've eaten 3 in my lifetime. Two of them sucked, and the one I tried back in 2015 was amazing tasty, but that dang cake felt like a 5 lb weight!!!! (lol) I don't know if they still have it, and perhaps one of the reasons it was on sale, but I do really love the colors which are super bright. Merry Christmas!
DeleteMy sister loves fruitcake! During the "Fruitcake Season," she buys about a dozen of them, stores them in the freezer, and has fruitcake all year! Best wishes, RO, for a great holiday season!!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's pretty amazing, Angela, and I want to meet your sister because I'll be re-gifting some cakes to her this upcoming Christmas. (lol) BIG Hugs to you and your family, and Happy New Year!
DeleteI love deals like that. They make me so happy! lol I try to stock up on soaps and other necessaries after the holidays. Like you said. I'm good if my soap in Feb has a pumpkin on it. lol
ReplyDeleteI do the Happy Dance too with fun deals like this. It almost seems too good to be true. Stocking up with goodies is a good thing. Hugs...
DeleteI love these national food days... gives me a great chance to splurge on all the yummies! haha! Great post dear! <3 - http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
ReplyDeleteHey Gingi! It's really neat to see these special "holidays", right? I'm with you. Give me a reason to eat more yummy goodness. Hugs...
DeleteI like fruitcake when it's done right. I love finding great deals.
ReplyDeleteYou're the deal finder guru, Mary! (lol) Hugs and Happy New Year!
DeleteConfession: I've never had fruitcake in my entire life. But everyone says I'm better off. Lol.
ReplyDeleteUh...looks like I need to re-gift one for you this upcoming Christmas, Joy so you can partake of all that goodness. (lol) Happy New Year, and hope all is well. Hugs...
DeleteI don't think I've ever had fruitcake. It does not look appealing though! haha
ReplyDeleteI do love a good deal, but I'm not shopping too much at the moment, after getting through the holidays. haha

Hey Lauren! I know, right? All that candy piled on top! (lol) I'm waiting until the prices are 75% - 80% off next week to see what's left. Happy New Year! Hugs...
DeleteI am not a fan of fruitcake, I think I have only received one, my grandmother liked them so I gave it to her without re-gifting... xox
ReplyDeleteI used to find all kinds of deals, it took me be on the ball, finding and collecting coupons and taking advantage of them at the best time. I collect a lot of points at the grocery store I shop at, this year I save up for 800.00 worth of free food, it really came in handy for the holidays xox
WOW! $800 worth of FREE food is pretty dang amazing! I hope one day you can blog about that. I'm really intrigued. Hugs...
