OK...now don't laugh. I went to the grocery store on my way home Monday. It's senior discount day....the clerk punched in the discount and then when he bothered to look he said....oh...I guess not. But he decided to give me the discount anyway. I saved 10% off my grocery purchase.

For those who buy online alot: EBates.com offers cash back. You access other sites through theirs and get a specific percent back. It also compiles a list of other discounts and free shipping codes.

I'm also a member of e-rewards.com, where they send you surveys to fill out online. You get rewarded in e-rewards currency which can be redeemed for airline miles and gift cards. I've gotten $50 worth of Macy's giftcards in 6 months or so.

Shady Brook Turkey at 15.4 lbs, at .48 cents per pound, and $1.00 off coupon, final price for turkey was $6.39! I spend more than that on the dog food & the cat food.

I also like our local dump (recycling center) where we have two little buildings with great stuff that people leave. One building is just for books, I take books, read them, then bring them back, especially the best sellers.

I went to BJ's today and bought $60 worth of food and brought it to our local food bank. There was an article in yesterday's paper about how demand is up and donations are way down. I got quite a bit, since most of the food there is sold in bulk.

SLUMOM, I've been to three stores looking for a Shady Brook turkey for Thanksgiving. Can you pick up another for me, please?

My latest score was a tool chest from Sears that DH wanted. It was advertised at 50% off, on top of which I got another 10% off for having a Sears card (which I did not use), 4% cash back from Ebates, and 1% cash back from MasterCard

lje62 that was very nice! I'm going through our pantry & finding things we don't need & bringing them to the food pantry at our church. I kept meaning to bring stuff to a homeless shelter, but couldn't find a local one.

I love hearing about these deals! The 'dollar stop' at Target has some nice, stocking-stuffer items for girls.

Jolynne , is there a branch of United Way or Salvation army in your area ? They are usually involved with food pantry and drop off centers. They said that used coats and jackets are needed too.
I wanted to take food from my pantry , but a lot of my food was opened boxes of bulk food. I don't have a lot of useful canned food ( not much you can do with a can of pumpkin if your other resources are limited )

I also got a DVD set for my daughter ( 2nd Season of 30 Rock ) on Amazon.com for $25.99 ( stores sell for $40 ) I have bought a few things from them and got free shipping too !

Wanted to buy a sun shirt because I lost mine on my last trip. Surfed the web & found many in the $50 & up range. Finally looked at Campmor & was able to buy one @ under $20 & another for under $30 (both on sale & significantly lower than their regular prices). Also bought duofold crewnecks @ under $10 and three pairs of socks (the cheapo ones I bought from Ross gave me blisters on the last trip). Total price for everything including shipping to HI was under $114!
One of the duofold crewnecks is for me (will be on East Coast in March) & the other for niece at Notre Dame for Christmas. We don't have too much warm gear & can use it!

Jolynne Smyth · 11-22-2008, 03:02 PM

Thanks, lje62. I'll check re: the UW or SA. The free shipping on Amazon is great. Maybe I'll combine w/family and/or friends to get that...

My good buy of the day today: a beautiful beaded black dress+jacket combo in pristine condition at Nordstorm Rack for $33! It was originally for sale at Nordsrom for $650! And the best part is that is fits so perfectly - no alterations needed! Now I'm all set for the company's holiday party.

Wow, you did great to find that outfit--I find it challenging to go thru Nordstrom's Rack & have rarely had much success there. I did get a Foxcroft blouse there--normally $65 on sale for $20.

Our buy of the day was from Office Depot. We originally went to the one closer to our home & they had a line that was VERY very VERY long. We gave up & tried Best Buy, which didn't have what hubby wanted so we tried one other Office Depot which was situated in a working class shopping center next to Savers & PriceBusters. They had very few customers & had what hubby wanted in stock & on sale! We were very pleased! The other branch never even suggested trying other stores, just suggested we get in their long, long, long line. Hubby got a Memorex lightscribe 20x DVD reader/writer for $35 & is very pleased.

I found a dress to wear to my son's wedding at Nordstrom's Rack. Originally hundreds of dollars. Marked down to $29.99 and it was on a clearance rack that was 50% off. Yes. Bought a dress for $15. It's well worth the challenge of going through those racks. I can find clothes cheaper on clearance racks than I can at Salvation Army.

Was at the Chicago Art Museum this weekend and found a beautiful ornament in the gift store. It was a glass peacock with a real peacock feather for the tail. I bought 3 of them for $4.00 each. One is for me, one for my sister and one is for that unexpected gift that I just might need.

I overheard a clerk say that it was the best buy in the store.
