great coupon day!

so today i got a few amazing deals and just had to share/brag.  the first was at bjs.  the larger of our two cameras had stopped working.  i took it in to be repairs only to discover that a repair was in no way affordable (like a $197 repair on a $200 camera), even the shop recommended i not waste my money on a repair.  so i have been shopping around cameras.  i had decided on one from bjs that currently has an "instant rebate" of $80.  as we were heading out the door, i grabbed some of the bjs coupon books and magazines.  on the ride over i found a coupon for the camera i had selected for $80 off that expires tomorrow.  we thought that there was no way that they would honor both the "instant rebate" and the coupon because they were pretty much the same offer, but they did!  i got a $270 camera for around $100.  very pleased.  (was able to do a similar stack on a memory card too.)  the picture above is with my new camera.  very excited!

next i asked matt if we could swing by cvs on the way home because bjs didn't have rolos like i had thought and i had stacking coupons for them at cvs (cvs and manufacturer coupons).  turns out that we had $5 extra care bucks on our account, they only had two bags of the rolos specified in my coupons (buy 2, get x off), i picked up a bag of pretzels (we couldn't find the kind we needed of these at bjs either), paid only $0.39 after coupons and got $3 extra care bucks back for next time!  sweet!

these were two of the best unplanned scores i have made in a very long time and pretty much made my day!  love.

Wow! Good for you! Always makes one feel good. Is that a lot of snow I see out of the car window? Does Maddux have spiderman boots? I aimed to tell you that you might take some scissors and trim those funny pom poms on his hat. Love seeing him wear it, don't suppose it is that warm. I'll try to make him a better hat next year :) Nana
