How about a deals thread

Post your deals and coupons here.

I just bought 3 fleece throws from Sears for $3.99 each. Looks like nice stocking stuffers or simple gifts. Found it on Krazy Coupon Lady but you buy them on sears.com. Shipping was $1.50 each or free if you spend over $49.

Buy one get two free boots from JCPenney. DD now has all her winter footwear. Whew. ETA: coupon FUNDEAL gets you an additional 15% off. I spent $90 and got her three pairs.

2chatter - ebates had another 30% off, plus 2% cash back. I'm going to check it out!!

Ladies - don't forget ebates!!!

[mae0111]

I ordered my Christmas cards from Shutterfly over the weekend. 40% off, plus 11% back on ebates. And free shipping. Should be here by the weekend, which puts me way ahead of my typical Dec 22nd scramble to the post office.

[erinshelley21]

Ebates is doing 6% back on women's, men's, and kid's apparel and shoes on Amazon!

[2chatter]

I honestly don’t understand what Ebates is....

[erinshelley21]

2chatter, its a site that you shop through to earn cash back from online purchases. Some stores qualify for 2% back and some for more. On veteran's day, there were a lot of stores that were 11% back. Once you create and account and you want to make an online purchase, you login to ebates, search for the store and click shop now. That will start your shopping trip and take you to the store's website. To get the money back you have to get to the store's website through ebates.

If you do a lot of online shopping, I'd highly recommend it. I only get about $100 a year, but $100 is better than nothing.

ebates is basically paying you so that they can track your browsing history. I am okay with it. I log in selectively before I purchase stuff. I get about $150-200 back each year based on my corporate Harry & David's order, more for my other shopping.

[mae0111]

2chatter - ditto all that erinshelley21 said. I use it for everything. We have ordered TVs, an oven, all our outdoor furniture, etc., and earned cash back on everything. I used to get checks, but now I just have the money deposited into my PayPal account. So far I've earned $1250 cash back since I started using it, and have $60 pending for the next payout. It's really no extra work for extra $$.

A referral if anyone needs it...

I've used Ebates for at least 5 years, and I generally get around $100-$200 a year. I've never had an issue or concern using it.

[2chatter]

This is probably a stupid question but ... how do you get money OUT from ebates or PayPal? I only send money through PayPal and have switched to Zelle for no fees.

[erinshelley21]

2chatter, ebates automatically sends a check once a quarter or something like that if you don't have it deposited into paypal. I have them send me a check.

[k3am]

2chatter Ebates sends me a check or you can convert to a partner gift card for an additional bonus.

Ebates sends a check or gift card to your home address once a quarter, or money to PayPal.  In PayPal, you can initiate a transfer to a linked bank account, just like you'd initiate a cash transfer out of PayPal to another party.  

I have Ibotta set up to send $$ to Paypal as well.

covergirl82, k3am, mae0111, erinshelley21,

I just started using ebates last month - is there any way to know when the % back is going to change? Example - I ordered my cards from Shutterfly for like a 2.5% return and shortly after the % back went up (11% is awesome!). Am I doing something wrong or is it just somewhat luck?

[erinshelley21]

greenmonkey1, I think its just luck. Shutterfly dicked me over too. I ordered my christmas cards and family picutres last Friday and literally the very next day it was 11%. I made an event in my calendar on 11/11/18 to order Christmas cards. Ebates is really good about letting you know when cash back is up at certain stores, but only as it's happening. For example, in September I think they did 5% back from Etsy. Knowing that it's normally only 1% I went ahead and ordered our family Christmas pj's even though I typically don't until October or November. I've had to change my shopping habits to get a deal while it's there rather than doing it when I prefer too if that makes any sense.

There are events though where double cash back will last a few days or a week I think as well.

[mae0111]

Yeah, greenmonkey1, I agree - luck. I feel like Cyber Monday is one of the only events that is pretty well publicized.

Anyone looking at outdoor gear REI has a 20% off 1 item until 11/20 coupon code GEARUP20

I just got DH new crossbars for the truck and saved $30.

[2chatter]

186momx - are you an REI member? Trying to assess if the coupon will work for me as the hammock DD wants is on sale!

[186momx]

186momx, Yes, DH is

Amazon has buy one Melissa and Doug pretend play toy, get one 40% off. DS wanted a boy doll, and saw Wonder Will on TV and almost lost his mind. It’s on Amazon for $19.99 plus an additional $4.25 coupon off when it’s normally a $30 doll. It is often on sale, but with the coupon it was a good deal.

But overall this morning, I got a $20 M&D baby doll for Angel Tree, a $20 VTech tool box for Angel Tree, a M&D doll house car and family to go w the doll house that’s our big gift this year, and the Wonder Will, all for $63 with the discounts/coupons. Pretty good overall.

[mommyatty]

And I just got the $150 M&D dollhouse and M&D grocery/lemonade stand that’s normally $120, on sale and with the extra coupon, for $170 with tax. Those may go on bigger sale later, but I don’t want to keep trolling prices. Those are by far the best prices I’ve seen in months.

[supertrooper1]

Target has 25% off a lot of toys today. Plus the 5% off with the Redcard. I bought DS a Mickey Roadster toy and a Monopoly JR game.

[waverly]

I hit the Kohls black friday sales online for the inlaws.  I got a $25 dutch oven,  $10 contigo bottles, wireless speakers for the men, and jewelry for the ladies.  The women are very traditional about their gifts, so I guess jewelry is the way to go but I always get it on sale. They also have $15 % off.   And I have $30 Kohls cash for the other people on my list.  

Not really on sale, but I got a shopkins add on item from Amazon for half off, books for cousin in law, and another shopkins toy for DD that was only $12.  

7 people down, and 5 people left plus teachers.  I am half done on DD.  Haven't started DS really.  

[mommyatty]

I just hit the Kohls sale for my angel tree stuff. (Tennis shoes, boots, and 2 hoodies). Plus Ebates is 7% back on Kohls right now! And Kohls cash!

[sandandsea]

I’ve added stuff to my amazon cart that I’m going to buy and just check daily to see if they’re on sale. So far I’ve gotten over 50% off on two board games.

Amazon has ToysOpoly Inflatable Bouncer toys for $26.84 today, it's $45 off the regular price.

I've been watching the Philips Sonicare Diamond Clean electric toothbrushes, hadn't seen them below $150. Target today has them at $99 plus the 5% off with the Redcard. It's not part of the Cyber Monday 15%, though. So I'm shopping for myself today.

[mae0111]

I just got DH an Atari flashback console at Bed Bath and Beyond. $39.99 (saw it elsewhere for $49.99 and $59.99). I had a 20% off coupon, bringing it to about $31. Then 4% back on ebates. Also, I got a $5 credit for using my American Express. Not bad!!

[supertrooper1]

Today is 10% off Target gift cards.
