Amazon.com Memorial Day Sale!

Amazon.com has a GREAT Memorial Day sale going on right now! Although it is not region specific I know that just about everyone shops on Amazon for their great deals and huge selection and now it is even better!

Also - I know many of my readers earn Amazon gift cards through Swagbucks - make them work harder! I have $25 in Amazon gift cards burning a hole in my pocket right now and I think I found just the motivation to spend them!

If you are not signed up for Swagbucks yet you can sign up here and get a bonus 30 swagbucks just for joining! Just click the link!  I periodically post hints on where to find codes on my Facebook page so we can all earn faster! (note - you are not allowed to share the actual codes, but you can give hints on where to find them!) More questions about Swagbucks and how to earn your free gift cards? Read my much longer post about Swagbucks! I simply use Swagbucks instead of Google and I earn free stuff - nice!

Again - my apologies for it not being region specific - but hey - San Diegians like to save money online too right??

a few sales worth mentioning

1. Gymbucks - Carlsbad Gymboree seems to have more clearance selection than Escondido & the mark downs are better.

2. Border's Express is going out of business in the Cbad mall - everything is 50% - 80% off - TONS of inventory left

3. 90% & 75% off at Bath and Body Works - remember to bring the coupon posted in an early entry here - TONS of stuff still left - good until Sunday! I got an anti aging face cream that is normally $39.50 for $3.95 & they have little candles for 15 cents!!

4.  Victoria's Secret has a few days left on the 'semi annual' sale - now ALL of their clearance bras are $15.99 and ALL clearance panties are $2.99 - pretty deep discounts and still TONS left - I believe this is also thru Sunday.

5.  'Monster Sale' at Children's place with LOTS of items marked at $4.99

there are clearance sales pretty much everywhere, but those were some of the best!

Happy Shopping ~

$10 off at Bath & Body Works - remember they have 90% off right now too!

click here for $10 off a $40 purchase at Bath & Body Works - remember also they are having a MASSIVE clearance sale - at Escondido's North County Fair they had a HUGE bin of 90% off that they said they were going to continue until Sunday! There was also several bins of 75% off.  You can combine this coupon!

I asked an employee about expiration on products and they said that products have a 2 - 3 year shelf life - I bought a couple to use as birthday gifts throughout the year - they will be totally fine & nobody has to know it was $1.25 ;)

bring this coupon with you when you go to redeem those gymbucks!

Happy Shopping!

Target 75% off Christmas stuff - still LOTS left!

Today I went to Target in Vista off Sycamore, although I am guessing this is the same sale everywhere.

All Christmas decor, wrapping, etc is 75% off - I bought several rolls of wrapping paper for next year - most under $1 each.

Also there is a BIG section of toys, stocking stuffers etc all for 30% or more off - for those of you who like to stock up.

Remember your reusable bags - you get a nickel back for every one you use!

Disney Store Online 70% off!

http://www.disneystore.com/ is having a GREAT sale! of course the best discounts are on holiday stuff, but lots of things are on sale - especially kids apparel.  Also, if you buy over $89 you will get $5 shipping, not free, but not bad.

Make sure to use Ebates to get 3% back in cash.  If you are new to Ebates you will also get a bonus $5 just for signing up.

Also - remember Swagbucks has a free $20 Disney gift card! If you haven't already purchased it, this short sale will probably be over before your order posts - but just as a reminder, you should save your online gift cards from swagbucks until an awesome sale like this presents itself. Swagbucks are super cool, if you haven't signed up yet, you should - I know I say that a lot, but seriously, it is so easy!

A few sales worth mentioning

I woke up to a few promotional emails I thought you might want to know about.

Gymboree - HUGE clearance sale - accessories starting at 99 cents & clothing starting at $4.99 - less than Target - Gymboree quality - can't beat that!

Old Navy - today only $15 adult jeans & $10 kids & baby jeans - remember - it will be crazy busy -

Big Lots - all their Christmas stuff - wrapping, bows, decor etc are all 50% off their already crazy low prices - I always buy wrapping paper the year before - usually for less than a $1 a roll & just save it, it doesnt take up that much space - also find solid color wraps that can be used for presents during the year - red, green, blue can all be used individually for bdays - red, silver, or white - valentines day or a wedding - silver or gold for an anniversary party - just something to keep in mind - the little stuff always adds up.

Babies R Us ~ extra 30% off clearance - speaking from experience you can get some great steals at this sale

Michaels - 70% off Christmas clearance!

Trade Secrets (North County Fair Mall) - I ALWAYS hit up their after Christmas sale - they have great deals on their gift sets - they are generally a better deal than buying seperately to begin with - and usually after CHristmas they are an additional 50% or more off - I usually stock up on a few to use during the year - also sign up for their reward card - it is free and you always get 10% off.

After Christmas Sale - Banana Republic Factory Store!

If anyone is planning on hitting up the after Christmas sales - here is a good tip! The outlet centers tend to be AWESOME - but it will be packed - so bring some patience and graciousness.

Got a hot tip today that the two days after Christmas the Banana Republic Factory Store will be 50% - the entire store including clearance.  I find awesome deals when it goes this low - I have a great pair of boots w/ a $129 price tag on them that were $11 and I can't tell you how many tops I've bought there for around $5. 

Also make sure to sign up for a  VIP card - this is FREE - you do not NEED a AAA or pay for them (they sell the discount cards for $5 - but you do NOT need to buy it - sign up here & print out your certificate & they will give you a discount card for free!

There will be great sales everywhere else too & as I hear about them I will update you.

I know this season is not about sales - but we can still celebrate and having a shopping game plan right?

Merry Christmas!!!
