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!
And 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!
