Saving - JC Penney Gift Card Bonus Card!

Sunday's JC Penney ad boasts a gift card deal, which may come in handy while out shopping last minute deals!

Grab 3 $20 JC Penney Gift Cards and receive a Free $5 bonus card.  These appear to be in special packs.  And I cannot quite tell from the picture, however it looks as if the $5 bonus card will need to be used during a certain period of dates.  (I did try calling them to verify information, however was transferred a few time and I gave up when the kids started fighting. Lol)

Worth checking out.  I plan on purchasing the $60 in gift cards and then using them for the purchases I will be making this week. 

Saving - Target Gift Card w/Free Lego Set!

If you are buying Target gift cards, keep your eyes peeled for this fun gift card option.  It is a Lego set that can create 3 different figures.  The gift card is slid in the back of the package.  The minimum you can add to the gift card is $5.

I picked up a couple and plan on slipping the gift cards out of the back to give as gifts and the Lego sets can go in the kid's stockings!

I noticed these located by the checkouts and in a couple other locations throughout the store.
