Well, I needed shoes for a dress I will be wearing to a wedding this weekend. I stopped at every store around my job, every store around my hometown and NOTHING!
Finally, My husband had to go into the city. I went with him, knowing in a last ditch effort I could stop at the mall. Expecting to pay full price there, I found a shoe store that had 50% off the already reduced shoes!! I got 2 pairs of shoes for the dress. One pair was $6.50 and one pair was $8.50!! WOO HOO!!
Also, I got a $10 gift certificate for VS for my birthday. SO, I went over there and I bought 8 items and paid $3.38 out of pocket!! WOO HOO!!
So, I had a fun "shopping" day. Which is rare for me!

Getting bargins!!
I just wanted to share my thoughts on getting a good deal.
1. Good deals are only good if you do it honestly. Don't try to use a coupon or a deal that is known to be fraudulent. We all make mistakes, but by knowingly getting a fradulent deal, you are ruining the repuations of couponers everywhere!
2. Stockpiling. It's great to stockpile, but if you buy 40 toothpastes and leave none for other couponers, you are being selfish. When I stockpile, I buy what I can use for 6 to 9 months ( a typical sale cycle), if I end up getting more then I can use, I donate the items to the homeless shelter, the food pantry, our local church or the animal shelter. Share and give, don't be SCROOGE!!
3. Be Polite. When I get in line at the store, with a fist full of coupons, I will let the poor guy behind me go if he has only 2 things in his hands. Remember this is a hobby and a savings, again, you can easily ruin the perspective of the people you are trying to win over to saving money!!
