Bargains! Bargains galore!
Now that I've got your attention -- Best Bargain Find Ever? Okay, PBN, I'm a bargain shopper, a coupon clipper, and a comparison shopper, too. Singling out one bargain as the Best Ever is nearly impossible. Here are a few examples:
*the inexpensive "calendar mug" form the corner gas station: free coffee on the dates in red
*Amigo's winter coat from the consignment store: a brand name jacket for $20
*swag! Husband picked up a mini jump drive that is the perfect size for my school files.
*books for my classroom from Savers' thrift store: great titles, great price, and I had a newspaper coupon for $5 any purchase greater than $5. Fabulous!
*my new purse from the outlet mall, brand name, half price, will last forever!
*messenger bag for school - already marked down, then entire luggage dept. on 50% the day I bought it
*anything purchased at Steve and Barry's for $8.98!
Planning ahead and being aware is the first step in finding great bargains. Last December I made my list, checked it twice, grabbed my Very Important Customer discount card, and headed out to Kohl's to shop. I knew what I was looking for, so I didn't overspend. It was a big sale day with early bird specials, so I shopped in the morning. After these specials, I used my Kohl's charge and the additional 15% discount coupon. End result: they practically paid me to shop. I watched the numbers on the register go down, down, down, until I couldn't believe how little I paid for the cart full of presents!
Bargain shopping? I'm there, whether it's online or brick and mortar.

I still remember when an external 500MB drive cost upwards of $1000. Now they can be had as give aways.
Ain't technology grand? (squirming a bit about submitting bad grammar on a teacher's blog, darn those nuns!)

Suh-weet. That first one's only good if the shops coffee is decent. :)
I have a couple of thumb drives I never use. My Hunny's school gave them to him, and he already has several. I have no clue what to do with them.
One of my favorite bargains is www.paperbackswap.com ~ free books! And a great way to get rid of unwanted paperbacks...
Can I shop with you????
I think Mr. T and I will have to swing by steve & barry's when we do his back to school shopping. Wow.
Planning is definitely key to not spending too much. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
