I know my mom has a friend who searches for coupons before she leaves her house to go shopping and always has an arsenal of discounts and buy one get ones, but for some reason to me it just seemed like a lot of work for not much in return. I guess you could say my time is money because I don't always have all the time in the world to do much searching. I'm also not a fan of shopping around to find the best price. But, like I said, I've been doing a lot of online browsing which allows me more time to search for deals.
Just this week, I found a coupon for free shipping on our Christmas cards and I found a 20% off coupon for a couple of fun Christmas gifts! I simply just typed in the product I was looking for and added "coupon" to the end and viola!
Aside from online, I've also been receiving TONS of coupons in the mail, mostly from the usual suspects like Kohls and Pennys, but some not so usual like Gap and Express. And, these coupons haven't been just 10% off, they've been more like 20% - 30% off or a certain amount of money off of a purchase, etc.
I'm sure a lot of it is just the retailers trying anything possible to get people in their stores or to their websites this Christmas season and I'm sure it is working for the most part, but I'm curious if they will continue to offer coupons and discounts as the year goes on? It sure does make it more fun to shop (and it makes my husband happier)!
