I’m Never Buying Anything Without a Coupon

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

Normally I hate using coupons because the ideas seems so cheap. But it’s actually really smart. I’m not talking about the “save $.50 on this product” coupons, but the real awesome ones! Last night, I just used a coupon for $25 off on purchases over $50 at Staples. Ro-chan and I got a planner for my mom and one for herself. Why the hell are the planners so expensive? We got $55 worth of planers for only $30! Yeah!

I visit these websites before I go make some of the bigger purchases:

$lickdeals
DealMeIn

Those two websites have similar stuff but it’s always better to have more than one source. And on top of those two websites, I also google for coupons.

Cheap Christmas Shopping

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

I love the internet. I was able to save a bunch of money on some of the gifts I wanted to receive and give. I say that I saved on money I wanted to receive because they are gifts Ro-chan is giving me, and I feel much better knowing that my girlfriend and I are being smart about saving money. Well, at least I am doing it for her. :P Let’s just get to the deals.

25% off any one item @ Sports Authority - expires 12/16
Code: TSAFFSAVE
I also have an in-store coupon which I’ll have Ro-chan use for the LED Maglite flashlight she is going to buy me. In fact, I can just have her buy something online and go to the store that’s 5 minutes away for multiple use.

25% off the highest priced item @ Barnes & Noble - expires 12/18
This coupon can be printed out and use for in-store purchases or online. I sent this one out to a friend of mine who is a big time reader.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for $39.99 @ Amazon.com - expired
This was a one day sale at Amazon for an awesome game. It usually sells for $59.99 but amazon.com had $20 off deal on Friday. I nabbed this as soon as I saw it!

Logitech LX 710 Cordless Desktop with Laser Mouse for $56.48 @ buy.com - doesn’t expire
My roommate wanted this for our Christmas gift exchange and he gave me a link to the item on zipzoomfly.com. I thought, why not do extra shopping for coupons and/or better deals? Well, he went to bizrate.com and gave me the link to the cheapest seller. But bizrate.com apparently didn’t list buy.com’s price. Well, I went on, found it for $61.99 (without shipping and tax), which is almost as expensive as zipzoomfly’s total cost (including tax and shipping!). But after a Google Checkout and selecting the free shipping option, I got it for $56.48! Good deal.

Be smart when shopping for the holidays.
