Hy-Vee 12 HOUR SALE!

Tomorrow from 8:00a.m.- 8:00 p.m. Hy-Vee will be having a 12 hour sale! The ad is not accessible online and I do not have a print copy. I did find this blog post here with prices for their store but I am not sure if they are the same?

If you know any more info please email me:)

Also I am told that when you are in the store tomorrow you will recieve a 2-day ad flyer with prices good for Monday and Tuesday only!

The bundle includes: Pistachio DVD, Silly Little Thing Called Love DVD, God Made You Special CD, and Christian Hit Music CD.

Now is the TIME!

Since I have become a bargain shopper in the food area I have also learned how to bargain shop in the clothing area also! Most of you probably know that shopping at the end of the season will get you HUGE discounts.

I have not bought a new coat in 6 years. The zipper on my current coat has been waiting to bust any minute and I knew this would be the year I would have to break down and buy a new one. I just didn't want to spend an arm and a leg for one! At one point in December the brown coat pictured below went as low as $20 at GAP but I just didn't even want to pay $20... I knew I could do better if I waited. Sure enough I DID DO BETTER! This past weekend GAP had 30% off clearance and this coat was on clearance!!!! After the discount I paid only $14 for this coat! The other coat was my bonus buy at Old Navy. They were having a 50% off clearance sale and this black coat was on clearance for $23.99 which means I got it for only $11.99! Actually I got for $9.50 after my $5/$25 discount was applied since I bought a few other items as well:)

I also shop in the off season for my boys. Since I know that Levi will someday be wearing what Seth is wears now I opt to buy more quality clothing so I know it will last. The main place I shop is Children's Place. They have been having GREAT sales all month long but I knew that soon they too would be having 50% off their clearance as well! Sure enough I got the email yesterday stating the 50% off clearance sale was going on and I hurried in! I was able to get everything I needed for next fall/winter for only $11! The total for 5 shirts, 2 sweat shirts, 1 sweater, 2 pairs of paints and 1 pair of gloves was $42. After my %15 off coupon and $25 gift card my total came to ONLY $11!

So if you know you will need clothes for next season NOW is definitely the time to take advantage of some great sales!

CVS this week...

I honestly haven't been to CVS much lately due to the lack of exceptional deals. I do make it out though to roll my bucks and I of course can't pass up cheap pop... it's true! So here is how my CVS trip went this week:

• 3 12 packs of Pepsi=$10
• 2 bags of Stacy's Pita chips=$6
• 4 2liters of Pepsi=$5
• 5 Therma care 1 ct. (rain check item for me)=$12.45
• 1 GE light bulb (rain check item)=$3

Total=$36.45

• -FREE BAG OF STACY'S! ( I think I got this for becoming a fan on facebook)=-$3
• -$1/4 Pepsi 2liters coupon (I swiped this a while ago from a different CVS store in Lawrence... I think at Thanksgiving time?)
• -5 $1/1 Therma care coupons

New total=$27.45 and I got back $10 for buying $20 in Pepsi products, $13 for the Therma Cares and $2 for the light bulb. So in total I got back $25... it is like I only spent $2.45 for ALL OF THAT!

This is the one week I was thankful that I had rain check items to get:)

Apple Market 1/20-1/26

Here are the best prices I see. My goal is to find the BEST deals possible. I do that by comparing prices to the Aldi price because I believe that if you can beat the Aldi price or come close you know you are getting a GREAT DEAL!
