Often when we think of saving we often think of coupons and grocery stores. However there are deals everywhere, and with a little planning you will never pay full price for anything!
Today we stopped at Dunham's Sports in Waite Park to pick up bike helmets and wrist guards (those of you who know me well, know why I need the wrist guards..lol)
I have previously signed up for Dunham's email list so I receive weekly 20% off coupons.
Tip: Set up an email just for your coupons and special offers, this way it won't overload your regular mail box and you can access deals when you need them.
We were able to find bike helmets for both Adam and I, wrist guards for me and a few bike accessories for Adam. With my 20% discount coupon I purchased my helmet which was reduced from $24.99 to $19.99. With my coupon is was only $15.99!
Since we could only use the coupon on one item, Adam did a separate transaction and used his hospital discount to buy the other helmet, wrist guards, bike pedals, repair kit, and water bottle. With 10% off each item we saved $5.00 more dollars.
Not the biggest savings I have seen but every little bit counts when you are determined to never pay full price for anything :-) Make sure to see if your employer offers discounts to area businesses. We are able to get discounts at movies, restaurants and even our wedding reception venue just because Adam works at the hospital. Many employers have this programs - take advantage of the savings!! They add up!!!! Our family has easily saved at least $200+ this year and that is money we can certainly use for other essentials.
I have been going to Regency Beauty Institute for years for facials and hair cuts/color. I love the savings too! A facial there is around $20 and is about an hour long, like a mini-massage. A facial at a salon would be upwards of $90 or more!
ReplyDeleteThat's cool that you also got a bottle of nail polish, I wonder if all of them do that and if it's a special going on right now? I haven't had a manicure or pedicure from there.
Old navy has jeans for half off ($10.00). Plus....every $20.00 you spend....you get $10.00 back to use on the 25th. I spent $80....saved over $100.00....AND got $40.00 to use on the 25th! Back to school shopping just got cheaper!!!
