KMart Double Coupon Sale!

Well I hit up KMart and made out pretty well. It looks like the cashier didn't scan one of the coupons but whatever I saved big so I won't be calling to complain. I really did get a ton of stuff!
I doubles all of the coupons.

Last CVS trip this month....

Ok so I really wasn't planning on going until I learned about the free shampoo. The Vitamin: you pay $6.99 for it but it comes with a rebate on it to try it for FREE. So It had my name all over it LOL. I had a $4 and a $12 ECB coupons so I had to buy more than just the shampoo to use them, I just didn't feel like paying cash. So I flipped threw the flyer there and found the Nova Max Blood Glucose Monitoring System was originally: $59.99 on Sale for: $9.99 with $9.99 ECB back at the end. So tonight I pretty much turned my ECB into cash with the rebate.

Nova Max $9.99 Saved $50.00
Vitamin Shampoo $6.99

Total: $16.98
ECB Used: $16.00
Total OOP w/ Tax: 1.03

Got ECB: $9.99

WHY?

Ok so I've been asked why I would buy things that are not useful to me. Well Some things are money makers. For instance I purchased a box of Just For Men Touch of Gray hair dye (not useful to me at all) BUT I payed $7.99, got $7.99 in ECB and found a rebate to receive $8.00. SO I made $8.00 from that transaction. I plan on donating it to my local senior center. Here are 2 scenarios on when its a deal to buy say Soy Joy bars even if you may not like them.

Scenarios #1 W/O Soy Joy

How to get the BEST deals!

It's really easy!

1. The most important thing is to look around for what you want to purchase. Don't settle for the first site you find. Look for the sites that are offering Free shipping and/or already reduced prices merchandise.

2. Make sure your signed up at Ebates ! If the store you found a great deal at is part of their participating store then you can save an additional percentage depending on the store. The way Ebates works is: you go to the store you want to shop at from their website and shop at the store. When you finish your purchase a percentage is added to your a Ebatesaccount, every 3 months you can get a check mailed to you, as long as it is over $5.01. If its less or $5.01 then it will be carried over to the next 3 month window. The program is free to you. I ♥ when I just get checks in the mail.

3. Do a simple search at RetailMeNot and get a coupon code for the site you found a great deal at.

You'll be surprised how much you can save.

Great Buy!

I've always wanted to get personalized Christmas stockings for my family, but they where always so expensive. I finally found some at a great price, they where only $7.98 each! I ordered us all the Snowman stockings. I was going to either get girls as the snowmen and boys as the Christmas trees or Parents as snowmen and kids as Christmas trees. I really couldn't make up my mind so I just got us all snowmen stockings with our names on them and one extra blank one for the day we adopt a child. These will be so perfect I ♥ the country style.

Here is where I got them from and I also got $11.97 off with a Coupon Code.

We don't have a place to hang the stockings so also ordered a stocking hanger
from Improvements Catalog.
