To shop for Christmas

     I know I know, we just finished all the hustle and bustle of Christmas and most of us are exausted, but….. wouldn’t you like to be done with Christmas shopping in Oct. or maybe sooner than that?  Wouldn’t you like your Christmas bonus to go to your savings instead of to Christmas gifts?  It is possible !!!  I know because I was done in Oct. and bought different things later just because I wanted to with the ease of knowing I had the money to do it.  So how is it possible?

     Start shopping now !!  For example great stocking stuffers:  Right now at christianbook.com they have 90% off GREAT books and audio cassettes/dvds for .49 and .59 !!!  Just click on this link At least 90% off – Christianbook.com Search  Buy $25 or more and get free shipping with this code 289655 and get an additional 10% off with this code 289652

     Also great sale at Disney.com up to 65% off.  T-shirts for $5.99 long and short sleeve!  Use this code at checkout and get an additional 20% off BONUS20. And for you men out there !! Victoria secret is having their semi-annual sale.  Buy it online and you wont have to dig in 50 bins elbow to elbow with another lady  

    Keep your eyes out for that certain gift that special someone wants.  When the price gets low… BUY IT!!!  Good luck, and have fun saving money all year long.

And as always God bless and leave a little comment on what you do to save money all year long.

I was killing time today and decided to stop by the mall. Many many stores have great sales.  I only walked thru half of the mall, but this is what I noticed:

  Victoria Secret has ALL bra’s BOGO 50% off that even includes clearance bras.  They also have many fragrances and gift sets 40% off. 

 Bath and Body’s annual sale will start tommorow so… I would wait if that is the store you want to hit. 

JC Penny has select merchandise up to 70% off. 

WetSeal has a neat sale: Buy 2 items at regular price get the 3rd item for a penny ( yup thats one cent ). 

And the motherload sale that I hit was Christopher and Banks.  Now, I have never shopped there before, but could not resist the huge red signs ALL OVER the store.  Select items that were marked down 30% off allready were being slashed AGAIN from 40% to 50% off the ALLREADY marked down price.  PLUS if you bought $60 worth of clothes you get an automatic $20 off !!!  So, I know you are dying to know what I purchased. Now keep in mind this is a regularly high priced store.  Here it is:

1) Camisole

3) Adorable and fancy dress shirts

1) Absolutley flipping adorable cardigan

Retail price: $166.84   -$20  – 50% to 70% off

Final price: $37.92 WHOOO HOOO  Thats 80% off savings !!!!!!!

And I didn’t even make it to the food court people.  So get out there and come back and tell us all about your sweet deals.

O.K. First let me say Merry Christmas to all !!  Remember Christ is the reason for Christmas and in the spirit of Christmas I am giving away a Christmas basket filled with goodies worth $50 or more.
