So this past weekend was a treasure trove of deals... somewhat inadvertent
Plates: $ 0.09 each for 4...
How you ask? Well, I was wandering through Kohl's and found myself in the back corner in kitchen stuff. Wandering, you see...
And I happened upon these beauties. They are heavy, food network plates. There were 4 of them, randomly on a clearance rack, marked individually for $2.49 each... no damage, no problems.
So I was pumped at getting them for $2.49 (plus my 20% off coupon, of course) but when I got to the register, the lady asked me if I also had the $10 off home goods coupon. I did but the coupon said $10 off of $30, so I thought my purchase wouldn't qualify. It shouldn't have. But the clerk said, "let's scan it anyway" and she did and it took $10 off... so the final price of the plates ended up being 0.09 each.
I walked out feeling like a thief... but a good thief. :)
So on to Penny's I went, armed with 2 coupons to use there: $10 off a $10 purchase (duh, free money) and $10 off $25.
When I arrived (did I mention this was also a state sales tax free holiday!) I set to work on the clearance racks in the Misses department, looking for some new work options. I found a pair of loose fit soft pants, a blazer and about 10 other things. After some time in the dressing room, I decided on the loose fit pants and the blazer and to call it a day. It would work, as the pants were on clearance for $12.99 and the blazer was on sale for 50% as a doorbuster. It was $50 originally, so it should have rung up right at $25 so I could use the other coupon.
Lo and behold... the pants? $13.92 - $10 off coupon : $3.92 I actually paid for a pair of pants with a $5 bill and got back change!
Skip to the ring up of the blazer- it's on sale for $18.99... um, okay... so I took it and went on the hunt for something for about $7.... found a really cute flower pendant necklace that fit the bill and proceeded to another (extremely long) checkout line.
Get to the reigster and the girl asks for my rewards numer (so did the other clerk but there was no further discussion about it at her register) so checkout girl #2 puts my info in and then says, "Did you know you have a $10 reward in your account?"
Me: "No- but I have this other coupon to use and I doubt you can use them both in one transaction."
Her: "Oh, these you can stack."
Me: "Whaaaaaaaaa? Um, then yes, use that sucker!"
Result: Fantastic black sateen blazer and necklace for $12....
To say I practically skipped home is an understatement.
Total Haul for $31:
Kohls: Skirt, Sweatshirt, 4 plates
JCPenny: Pants, Blazer, Necklace
