Here’s a fun one: Play Home Depot’s Zombie Mulch Game on their Facebook page and score three high value coupons. The points accumulate as you play the game and as you master each level, you can snag another coupon and you can print each one for a total savings of $30.00! Tip: Click on “Want more Zombie Mulch?” and sign up for their Garden Club Newsletter to accumulate points 2x faster. Note: If you have trouble getting the coupons, you can go back into the game and after it loads, click on “STATS”.  From there you will be able to claim your $5, $10, $15 coupons which will then be emailed to you. This one may take a little time (it took me about 30 minutes, I play it while  was watching tv). Master each level and score a new coupon which can be used in the Lawn & Garden Department:

Black Friday Deals

If you’re planning on doing any Black Friday shopping in stores, you can check out this huge list of Black Friday Deals along with ad scans. I’m not a big fan of the in-store frenzy myself, so I plan on doing my shopping online for the most part. How about you? For me, there’s so many free shipping offers out there anymore & in some cases even better deals online than in the store, it’s just hardly worth it to me to fight the crowds. I remember a couple years ago, I drove to Target on Black Friday, the parking lot was completely full, I mean, totally full. 😯 After driving around the parking lot for a couple minutes, I thought to myself forget it & I promptly went home.
