Good Shopping Day!

Posted by kim on February 20, 2008

I just got home from running some errands and got some great buys…

First at Target, the Valentine’s stuff was marked down 90% off!  I got an overloaded cart full of stuff for $20-something!  At 19¢ for a box of chocolates, I’m bringing belated V-Day treats to the girls’ confirmation class tonight and enough for everyone at my Kiwanis meeting tomorrow.  I have a good excuse for being late since my son had surgery on 2/14, so I got enough treats for my mom, aunts, cousins, etc. And I stocked up on gift bags, bows, picture frames, and other non-looking V-Day stuff to use for gifts.  With three girls, the stockpile makes for some great gifts for their friends’ birthdays.

Next stop was Walgreens.  Here’s the double-plays I did…

Sunsilk Shampoo/Conditioner was on sale 3/$10 - $1.50 coupons (I had 3) - $3 Register Rewards = 3 bottles for $2.50!

Jane Cosmetics on sale B1G1F - $2 EasySaver Coupon off mascara (did not work on $3.99 mascara, had to get $4.99 mascara) - $2 off printable Jane coupon = 2 products for 99¢ (I got the mascara and some concealer).

Edge Shaving Cream (got bonus bottle with free razor attached) $1.99 with in-ad coupon - 75¢ = $1.24 for shave cream & razor

St. Ives Apricot Scrub - found on clearance endcap for $1 each

I also used some in-store coupons for Puffs, toilet paper and paper towels.  Then I had 2 - $2 off Register Rewards to use, so I only spent next to nothing!

Btw, the Free-After-Rebate Items and Chapstick deal are still valid at Walgreens!

Office Max Leather ChairAnd my last deal was more of an impulse buy.  I’ve been wanting a new office chair since I spend many hours a day sitting here, and my lower back has been hurting. While at Office Max, I noticed the High-Back EZ Executive Leather Chair on sale for $79.99.  (Regularly $129.99 - a $50 savings!) After testing it out, I knew I had to have it!  It claims to be “innovative no tools required assembly” so I should be sitting in it moments after I finish this post!  It’s available only at OfficeMax.com as well with Free Shipping!
