Pie and Ice Cream Deal at Albertson's
Albertson's has a great deal this week (11/12 - 11/17) for pie and ice cream:
Buy 1 Sara Lee Oven Fresh Pie
Get 1 Sara Lee Oven Fresh Pie FREE
Get 2 Breyer's Ice Creams for FREE
Total Price: $6.39

Make the deal even sweeter by printing the $1 off 1 Sara Lee Frozen Dessert Product here and the $1 off 2 Breyers Ice Cream here. You can print each coupon twice from one computer. You can use a coupon on each item, even if it is is free. For example:
Get 2 Sara Lee Pies
Get 2 Breyer's Ice Creams
Use 2 $1/1 Sara Lee coupons
Use 1 $1/2 Breyers Ice Cream coupon
Price before coupons: $6.39
Final price after coupons: $3.39 for 2 pies and 2 ice creams!!!

AND...just through today (Thursday), there is a $15 catalina (a coupon good for $15 off your next shopping order) printing with your receipt if you purchase $30 of certain products of which Sara Lee and Breyers are participating. So, do 5 groups of the deal (meaning 10 pies and 10 ice creams in all), which brings your total to $31.95 and the $15 catalina will print. And remember, the $30 total is before coupons, so you can still use those coupons! My mom and I combined our coupons this morning and split the deal. We used 8 Sara Lee coupons and 5 Breyers coupons. Our final total was $17.95, plus we got the $15 catalina back! Awesome!

Cheap Children's Books
ThriftyNWMom did a great post here on some great children's books on clearance at BooksaMillion.com. Prices start at $1.77 (with many in this price) and make sure to use this code: BKLVFREE to get FREE shipping.

I took her advice and ordered a couple Thanksgiving books since I thought it would be a great way for Abby to learn about Thanksgiving and have an idea about the day before it arrives. Oh, and once I got to check-out the price went up to $1.97 instead of $1.77 since I do not have a membership with Booksamillion - but still a great deal!

Cheap Hasbro Games at Toys R Us
Toys R Us is running a great sale this week (through Saturday) on all their Hasbro Games. In addition to the sale prices, if you spend $25 on Hasbro games you will get a $10 Toys R Us gift card. And in addition to that, Hasbro is running a rebate program on certain games purchased at Toys R Us (click here to see which ones) that make the deal HOT!

Check out ThriftyNWMom's post here to read more information and a sample scenario. Even if you don't want to spend $25 worth, some of the smaller games (i.e. Ants in the Pants, Cootie, Candy Land, Memory) are on sale for $3.99 and with the $2 rebate on each game your total will only be $1.99 for one of those games! Great deals for Christmas presents!
