My Deals at Kohl's

Kohl's is one of those places that you can get some great deals, but if you're like me, you have to be very careful.  Sure its 50% off, but off of what?  I have a love/hate relationship with Kohl's.....why is the non-sale stuff MUCH more appealing than the sale stuff?  Do I really "need" it?

Most of you that know me well know that I am usually on the top of my game with the deals/coupons.  But every once in a while, I miss one and boy did I miss this one big.

My friend Tasha called me to tell me about a coupon that was in the paper last week for $10 off ANY Kohl's purchase.....even off of clearance!!! I don't get the paper (except on Sundays).  I should've gone out right then and purchased all that I could get my hands on, but I didn't.  Anyway.....Tasha was generous enough to give me two of her coupons (she was the smart one and acquired muliple papers!!)

I went today at lunch and purchased a towel and washcloth x 2 in two transactions.  My total for each transaction was $2.13 for a grand total of $4.26. My total savings was $44. The is going to come in handy for our guests this weekend and it match's Rachel's bathroom perfectly!! Plus - you can never have too many towels!!!

Tasha is probably laughing at the post right now - "Savings of $44!?!?!" Add another zero and that's probably where her savings are at.

Did you get in on this deal?  If so, I would love to hear about your finds - please leave a post.

More frequent - EXCITING posts

So....who is getting bored with only the coupon matchups on this blog?  I certainly am.  That is the primary reason for this blog and I have fulfilled and will continue to fulfill that need, but boy is it boring!!!

Also, my original goal was to only post the deals that I thought the general couponer could accomplish. When I first started couponing, I was soooo frustrated to read about other people's deals and realize that the "window of opportunity" had passed, making it impossible for me to do the deal.  But - looking back - I enjoyed reading about them and it gave me a higher standard to aim for. Don't worry - your inbox will not be flooded with posts - maybe just a couple of extra posts per week - my life is not THAT exciting!!

I hope that you will find the upcoming additional posts entertaining/useful and inspiring. Stay tuned.....

Big Lots Coupon - 20% off

Oh how I love Big Lots.  I do not shop there much any more because they do not accept manufacturer's coupons....but....when I need something (really need it - not just get it because it's free) Big Lots is usually one of my first stops.

In the couponing world, there are particular items that we use daily that is difficult to get for free.  Sad, but true.....

One of these items is cooking spray.  Big Lots has cooking spray for $1.20. They also currently have a printable coupon for 20% off from October 6-9.  That makes the cooking spray only $1.00. With the holidays fastly approaching, this will really come in handy.

Also, I am confident that some Halloween candy just may jump into my basket as well, which is fine because the coupon is 20% off your entire purchase.

They have also jumped on the "Rewards Card" bandwagon and have a program called Buzz Club Rewards. You can sign up online or in the store.  There are a few benefits, including seeing the sales ad early, viewing the clearance items early , etc.
Here is the link.  It is a pdf, so you can print as many as you like.

Enjoy and have fun at Big Lots!!!!

Hanesbrands United Way Sale Saturday, 10/02/10

ALL PROCEEDS BENEFIT THE UNITED WAY

The Hanesbrands United Way product sale will be held on Saturday, Oct. 2, from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. in the Weeks Plant parking lot (on Hanes Mill Road, next to the Fulton Y). No sales prior to 8 a.m. Cash and credit/debit cards only. No checks.

I went to the employee sale today (Friday). They had a lot of Just My Size items, as well as bras and panties and Men's socks.  They had some Champion workout wear, but I did not see any hoodies.  They did have some sweatshirts.  Womens socks were minimal, but they had plenty of "boot" socks - which were really nice.
