So, I have not been posting lately, however, that does not mean I haven't been saving.

It has been pretty tough lately squeezing in the shopping let alone my picture taking and posting ( which I have to say the picture taking completely cracks my husband up..LOL)

So here is what I did a couple days ago:

November 21, 2009 KOHL's

I got a $15.00 gift Card in the mail from KOHL's last week, I thought that was awesome all by itself, then in my email ( because I am registered with KOHL's) I got a $10.00 (use once) certificate.

$25.00 bucks to spend at KOHL's no strings attached...I was soooo there.

I got:

1 ea ZERO Xposure Jacket $50.00
Sale for 21.99

1 ea Men's Knit Sweater $ 44.00
Sale for $17.60

Retail: $94.00
Sale Discount: $54.41
Gift Certs: $25.00
OOP: $15.47


Saved almost 86%...Can't hate that right?

So in case you don't know, my "saving philosophy" is not necessarily a "SAVING" but a "Didn't Spend It" notion.

If I was truly "saving it" in my mind it would be going into a savings account...it doesn't.

I consider the fact that I am making a conscious effort to combine deals, sales, coupons etc to get that great deal.

:0)

November 20, 2009 Toys R'Us

So, I am starting to feel better, congested...but better.

Had a MFQ for 5.00 off 20 bucks spent on Star Wars

Paid $4.75 each

I had another $5.00 off gift certificate.



I donated the Potato Heads and kept the Star Wars for Figs for one of my boys for Christmas.

November 16, 2009 Publix

Ok...let me just say... I have been sick, and being sick does not do well for me to stay on top of my coupons. I have a stack ( not kidding you) about 8 inches tall of inserts to deal with, and I am still not feeling all that great.
