The Walgreens insert has a $5 off $25 coupon in it, so that'll cover the cost of 4 papers right there. Walgreens doesn't track those coupon uses, so if you get 4 papers, you can use all four $5 coupons, good until November 14th. The Walgreens sale next week: Zephyrhills water $3.49; BOGO Club, CheezIt crackers, Keebler cookies; BOGO Scotch tape; Progresso soup 4/$5, and more, this $5 coupon is 'the bomb'!!

Remember, Donna counts all the coupons in the paper to come up with the $850, I only list what's in the grocery inserts. Click here to see what's in your Smart Source and Red Plum inserts.

Happy reading.. and shopping!

Regularly $349, UGG Tess from the Nolita Collection, now 50% off and with promo code FALL20, another 20%...making them less than $150. A knee issue ended my skiing days long ago, but I love the snow and the mountains and am happy to hang out apres ski. Click here for shoesteal.com.

P.S. I know pointy boots are sexy and stylish, but I've lived long enough to know that trendy clothes don't last, and a few more wearings might be all we Floridians will get out of those gorgeous hyper-pointy Manolo boots. I prefer this toe, a better chance of getting my money's worth.

I just stumbled upon a great find today. Old Navy's item of the week: $7 three-quarter-sleeved shirts in the most comfortably baby soft cotton and in eye-catching colors. Other shirts, most of them striped, also go for $7. They're perfect for our mild "winters."

It's fall, but I couldn't resist the springtime coral, lime and lavender tones. The sale ends Friday, Nov. 6. So, don't miss out on the great bargains. If you plan on ordering any of the shirts online, be mindful that although the style is meant to be loose and flowy, the shirts do run big. You may want to go one size down from what you normally wear.

Also, keep in mind that Old Navy stores are giving you 10 percent off your purchase if you purchase a $5 winter hat for the needy. If your purchase is more than $50, it's awash! Otherwise, it's still for a good cause.

Happy shopping!

If they send them, I'm going to share. I hope some of you use them, and spend lots of money to keep my favorite bookstore afloat. I want them to still be there when I finally have time to go!!!

Here's a coupon for 30% off the list price of one item, for Rewards members. Membership is free. Click here to print.

The last time I had one of these I got my daughter a 'birthday purse.' I don't usually spend so much, but you may remember, her beloved Coach purse was stolen at the beach a few months ago. I bought a similar $450 Coach purse at the outlet price, and on sale, so with the additional 20% coupon savings the purse was $160. Split with Grandma, it was painful, but I could swing it. And the look on her face was priceless, worth every penny!!

The busy gals in NIE (News in Education) have been collecting new and used handbags for months. We've seen a parade of beautiful bags going up and down the aisles at the Deerfield offices.

The event will be held at Westfield Broward, formerly known as the Broward Mall, at Broward Blvd and University Drive. Look for them in the Center Court from 10am to 3pm, but get there early because the good ones will go fast. Now's your chance to get that brand name bag at a fraction of its retail price. The prices are going to be great.
