Outlet malls have coupons!!

So my family took a little trip down to the Lake of the Ozarks this weekend and of course, we visited the outlet mall!!

Before we left, I made sure to print my coupons - that's right - OUTLET MALLS HAVE COUPONS!!

I don't know that I got any "Super Amazing" deals, but I did get deals. The outlets often have some good prices and add additional coupons/discounts to that and I did pretty well.

So if you are planning a trip to the lake check out http://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlets/attractions.asp?id=57/

Click the VIP link and sign up. You will get occasional emails about sales (they don't come too often) but you also get the ability to print out coupons/discounts - one of which is a voucher to pick up MORE coupons/discounts for free at the information desk when you arrive!!! They normally charge $5 for this booklet.

I did notice that some of the stores I knew I would be making purchases at were not included such as Carter's and Children's place - so I just did some searching on my own (and I sign up on their websites for coupons) and got 20% coupons to use at each store.

HAPPY SHOPPING!!

Target deal for cold season

I came down with a major cold and it has turned it's ugly head into a full blown sinus infection. So I went out in search of medicine to help me feel better today and found a GREAT deal at Target.

Target has Vicks medicine on sale for $4.99. I had a $4 coupon for Vicks Sinex and $1.50 coupon off any vicks product.

I bought a daytime Sinex and a NyQuil, along with $1 stickers for my little tornado and $1 kleenex for my ever running nose :) and paid $6.90 after taxes.

I saved a total of $6.95!!

Early Christmas Shopping

I was shopping at WalMart today and happened upon this deal in the toy aisle.

They had Chucks Stunt Park Playset on sale for $29.00.
I've seen these regular price at $39.99.
I had a $10 off coupon from one of the Sunday paper inserts, bringing this toy down to $19.00. HALF PRICE!!
I know my little guy will be excited to see this under the tree Christmas morning. He LOVES Chuck!!

SO OVERDUE

I have not stopped getting deals - I just seem to have trouble keeping up on the blogging. So here is one I did today.

BIG LESSON on this one - coupons are good for more than what they state!!

Went to CVS this morning - scanned my card when I first walked in and got several coupons. Only 2 that I will use, but you never know what you may get. 1 I used today the other I will go back for.

Today I got:
2 boxes of Nabisco wheat thins 2/$4
1 brach candy corn (this was the coupon I got when I scanned my card) $0.99
2 Dawn dish soaps $0.97 each
1 Colgate total toothpaste. $2.99

I paid $4.19 after taxes!!! AND I got $2.99 ECB, which is basically a $2.99 coupon for my next visit.

So, the brach candy corn was FREE because they had it on sale for .99 cents and when I scanned my card it printed of a coupon for .99 cents off.

The Dawn dish soaps were FREE because I had 2 $1 coupons for dawn. They were for the soothing essentials or something like that, but they worked for the regular dish soap.

Here's that lesson I was talking about - what I've learned is that OFTEN a coupon is good for several different items as long as they are in the same category. I did the same thing with the Wheat thins.

The Nabisco Wheat Thins were 2/$4. I had 2 $1 off coupons for the new wheat thin stixs, but the coupon worked for the regular wheat thins!

I also had a $1 off coupon for the Colgate and I earned $2.99 ECB for purchasing it - so I actually MADE $1

So if you have a coupon you want to use, but the store doesn't have that specific product or it isn't included in the sale, try it anyway!! As long as it is in the same category - it will probably work and if it doesn't just tell them you don't want the item then.

Finally, the other coupon I got when I scanned my card was $6 off any 2 Garnier skincare moisturizer or treatment.
I searched the internet and found more coupons. One I know will work for $2 off and another possible $2 off. But if the second $2 doesn't work I found a $1 that will.
These can be combined with the CVS coupon and my $2.99 ECB which will give me between $11.99 or $12.99 off 2 Garnier skin care.
Should bring them pretty darn close to FREE!!!
