Let's face it, I'm one of the best when it comes to getting a deal and saving money. Here's my latest accomplishment...I went to Herberger's to try and find another gift for someone but I've come to realize, I just don't like the layout of a Herberger's store. They pack the store so tightly with merchandise that it doesn't feel fun to shop there because I feel like I need to dig to find something, like a TJ Maxx store, which I hate. I struck out with finding a gift for someone so I bought a few items for me. Here's what I got:
A mug. The price on the tag: $10.
A flour sifter. Price on the tag: $18
A set of 3 snowflake pins. Price on the tag: $20
Now here's the only time where math is fun as an adult. The mug was on sale for $3.75 and ended up being a door buster deal so it rang up at $2.50. The flour sifter was 30% off and the pins were 50% off. I had a $10 free coupon if you spend $10 so I used that for the mug and the sifter. Price paid for both: $5.47. The pins were $10 after being on sale but with another free $10 coupon I had, I got them for free. I literally exchanged the coupon for the pins. No money changed hands for that transaction, which means I got all three items for a total of $5.47. The mug is at work for tea, flour sifter will be used for baking and the pins are on a few of my winter jackets for display. The picture does not do them justice of how shiny and sparkly they are.
Have you found any good deals lately?
