I finished the 3rd of my 4 dressers. Here are the before and after pictures.

I sold that big old CD player at the last rummage sale for $5.00. The CD player only worked once in awhile and it was so big and took up so much room. I am going to ask for a nice little one for Christmas.

I finished going through the drawers as well.

Our local bank that carries our checking account offered a $5.00 deposit for using your debit card 5 times in September. I rarely use my debit card except for the ATM since we get cashback with Discover, but I made sure I used it the 5 times this month and am now just waiting for the $5.00 deposit for FREE!
*ETA - I see I did get this $5.00 credit at the end of October! YEAH!

Also I have a credit card with Juniper Bank and I got a flyer in the mail for 5% cash back for October, November, December on purchases. So I called and registered for that. I don't use that card too often, but probably once a month or so.

Ok so here is the deal I was planning to do on the Pantene:

Pantene Shampoo/Conditioner 12.6oz
Regular Price $5.00 each (Buying 8 bottles)
Sale Price 2/$8 ($4.00 each, $32.00 total)
-$16.00 ($4.00 x 4) BOGO Free coupons
*Receive $10 EB for spending $30 on P&G Products
= .75 per bottle!

But here is the deal I acually ended up getting
Regular Price $5.00 each (Buying 8 bottles)
Sale Price 2/$8 ($4.00 each, $32.00 total)
-$27.96 ($6.99 x 4) BOGO Free coupons
*Receive $10 EB for spending $30 on P&G Products
= -5.96

So made $5.96 profit on this deal! The cashier was supposed to ring up my BOGO Free coupons for $4.00 each because that was the price they were on sale for, but she just scanned them instead of entering them, so it took off the "free up to $6.99" price!

I also got Dawn Dish soap for a great price:

Dawn Dish Soap 9oz
Regular Price $1.99
-$1.03 Sale Price
-.75 Coupon
Final Price .21!!

October 2012 Mortgage Payment

Balance $122,000.00
+$279.58 Interest
+$319.07 Escrow
-$1537.95 Regular Payment
-$1065.70 Principle Payment($40 change)
New Balance $119,995.00

Principle payment was made up of:
$345.00 OT Pay
$15.00 Change
$380.00 Regular Principle Payment
$325.00 Random extra amount to get balance down under $120K!

I probably shouldn't pay this much extra to the mortgage, but I couldn't leave the balance so close to $120K! I just had to get under the barrier! So we may have to take some out of savings to cover this, but I am ok with that, savings is doing good for now so taking out a few hundred will be fine.

Went with my bro and sil to the bank today to see about getting them refinanced. They were in a 30 yr loan for 5.3% and also had a small 2nd mortgage (I think like only $5K or $6K) for 6%. They are going to be able to roll them both together now, and go down to a 15 yr for 2.87%! YEAH!! Happy for my bro and very proud of their credit scores that helped them get that great rate. Now when my Godson turns 18 his parents house will already be paid off.

I hit up the Target clearance and help them get rid of their school supplies.
Lots of good deals at 70% off. School supplies sold like madness at the last sale so I stocked up. Everything is already marked, organized and put away till spring. If I sold everything for what I have marked I would make a profit of $83.50!!!
