Shoe Bargain!

Everyday I keep trying to check things off from the family Christmas list. Today I ordered a beautiful pair of Minnetonka Pile Lined Hard soled slippers for my mom.  I ended up purchasing them from www.shoebuy.com. I shopped through my Upromise online account and received some nice discounting. Even if you don't have a Upromise account, there are still some great bargains to be had.

The retail on this particular pair of moccasin styled slippers at shoebuy was $37.95. They offered me free shipping, free returns, no sales tax, an instant 10% off for signing up with them, I was able to use the code CJHOLIDAY for an additional $5.00 off and on top of all that I should get a 10% credit back into my Upromise account. Upromise is a savings account that vendors offer money credits back by shopping through their link. Every month my savings get transferred right into my bank account. Shop and Save!!!!

The final damages? $29.65! That is a better than 20% discount off of their list price! I hope my mom doesn't read this!

Ta Ta for now...

Black Friday - Cyber Friday

Count me OUT! I will not be setting the alarm for o'dark thirty, looking for parking spaces or  fighting crowds. I will be watching pricing intently online and in circulars, but with the economy as bad as it has been, I expect sales and bargains to be around all the way up to Christmas!

I have had boxes arriving from my earlier online purchases, and so far I am very happy. I still have a few more ideas to come up with, but I already feel comfortable with my purchases and will not beat myself up if I happen to see something now being offered for less. That can drive a person crazy! I was already very careful to hunt for the lowest prices on PriceGrabber.com and Google shopping, and then combined that with coupons and discount codes found on RetailMeNot. I did my due diligence.

To those of you who love the hunt - God Speed and safe shopping!
