Loving coupons!

[judy]

I found a cute pair of sandals online at Kohl's, which were on sale for $15.40. In the end, with tax and S&H, it came to 22.50 or so.

I looked up coupons for Kohl's, found two, and the total is now !3.09!!! Free shipping, and 15% off with my Kohl's card.

I LOVE a bargain!!!

So, a reminder...I'm sure you all do this, but, if not, always Google coupons for whatever you are buying, or for the store you are buying from. You can get online codes, in store coupons, and more. I just saved about $9.00 on one item!

Nice! Do you ever watch Extreme Couponing on TLC? That show is nuts! We don't really get coupons like that in Canada, and most are "one coupon per customer" and they have to be regular price, not sale items, so we can't go as crazy as they do on that show!

I know! For those spending 30 or 40 hours a week looking for coupons, clipping coupons, going through grocery store sales and planning their trips... I wonder why they don't spend that time looking for a job, and then making as much money as they save. I think it's an obsession, like an addiction, and most of them hoard so much! I saw one woman on there who actually only bought things that she needed, and that's the only one who seemed normal to me!

That's great, Judy!!! I've looked on-line for codes when I've ordered as well. You should have looked for a 30% off code instead of 15%!!!!

As far as the coupon show....they don't save that much money EVERY time they go to the store. They save up and make one big spree. You notice that they don't get milk, bread, or much that you need for a week.....they get what they can that pays for itself with the coupons. Who needs 25 sticks of deodorant???? Some of it is ridiculious!!!!

I used to send in rebates but you don't find that very often anymore. We used to go skiing with a large group of friends for about $400 and I figured one year that I got enough in rebates to pay for our ski trip. That was exciting for me!!

If you're interested in couponing then you need to contact the person who delivers the Sunday paper in your area....the one that has coupons and get the extas from them.......or there are groups where you can buy coupons from. It is work!!!
