Well I headed out to take my Harley Davidson boots back that I got for Christmas. I did love those boots and thought they looked really sharp that is until I put them on my feet. I felt like I was walking around with bricks make that Concrete bricks on my feet. Man where those thing's heavy. So I took them back and got my DH money back. It was a nice gesture of him to get me those for Christmas but I couldn't see with the price of the boots keeping them if I wasn't going to wear them but once or twice and then pack them away.
So then I ventured over to the CVS store for the Holiday mark downs. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT that was the gal at the register (since they know me by first name since I'm always in there for my EBC's) if they were going to be marking the big items down. As I really had my eye on the 99.99 digital picture frame and had a 30.00 off coupon. But anyways she informed me that they were sending all the Christmas stuff besides lights, animation, candy, decorations back this year. There would be no markdowns. DID she say NO mark downs? Geez, was I disappointed and I came out without buying anything.
So then I headed to the local Bath and Body Works. Well there I made a haul as they had 75 percent off. So I stocked up there. Great for birthday presents though out the year. Wasn't just Christmas things either.
Then I thought you know what I'll just wonder in Dillards. Not thinking that I would buy anything but to just look around. Well I found DH a pair of pajama's (since he's having a total knee replacement on Tuesday)that were originally 75.00/then they were 43.50 and I got 75 percent off them! which made them 10.87! That was a really good buy!
So then I got over to the purses and one of my weakness is Kathy Van Zeeland purses. I simply love these purses but would never pay full price for them. Well today and today only (that's what the sign said) they were 30 percent off the lowest price. So I found one that I loved that had been marked down to 45.00. So that made it 31.50. And since I took the Harley Boots back, I said Merry CHRISTMAS to me. I even had money left over from the boots. Should of looked at another Kathy Van Zeeland purse but that's all right since I just ordered a spring one from online. It was at a savings too. bigger then this one but we won't get into that one. I'll save it for a later posting.
So then I went to borders to try and find me a book to read while I hurry up and wait at the hospital. I did find one on the mark down rack. Sharon Osbourne. Hey reading is reading guys.
Ran in Walmart to see what they had and they had plates, napkins and saucers, Christmas of course and even coke ones for 50 cents so I picked up a few of them for next year along with a bottle of diet 7up. And home I came.
So over all it's been a good day I would say...... now I'm ready for a nap

$3.00 off $15.00 CVS coupon
A big thank you too http://www.dealseekingmom.com/ giving us the heads up on this coupon. If your not familiar with CVS and couponing I'm going to help you out on this today. Cvs has what is called EBC's. EBC's are what CVS offer's when you buy certain products. Example last week they had Excedrin 20 count on sale for 3.99. You would then get 3.99 EBC's when you checked out. This would be 3.99 free money to use on your next purchase. Whether it's next week or you could turn around and buy another one right then. Pay with your EBC and it's FREE! Simple as that. So if you had gotten say 4 boxes of Excedrin for 3.99 each, total of 15.96. Used your 3.00 off 15.00 coupon. you would pay 12.96 for the Excedrin, get 15.96 in EBC's and actually made money off the deal. 3.00 to be exact. THen this next week you can buy 15.96 in products, use another 3.00 off coupon which brings your total to 18.96 free stuff. I always print more then one. Exspecially if they are in the newspaper. The only thing that I have found is make sure it prints with color on it and they will take it.I have never been refused a internet printed coupon from being taken at the register.
One more thing is I always look to see what is on sale that is giving EBC's. This way from week to week you have your EBC's and can use them and get things free. This leads to stockpiles of stuff. I'll do a posting later on stockpiling and how it can grow fastly. I know this is a little confusing at first but once you catch on it becomes easy. Later today when the CVS flier comes out I'll post the scenarios of how this will work with the ad for this week that starts tomorrow. So go get your coupon and if you don't have a rewards card from CVS you can get it online by going to www.CVS.com or going to your local CVS pharmacy. Here's the link for the coupon
