My savings for December 5, 2010

Well, I guess I missed my first post already.  I actually went shopping yesterday, December 5, and got a really good deal at Kohl's, but since it took some time to get my blog set up and my introduction written it is now the 6th.  I will go ahead and publish this anyway.

My trip to Kohl's for December 5, 2010

I acually went to Kohl's to look for accessories for my Christmas present, a Keurig Coffee Maker.  Yes, I buy my own Christmas present and my husband wraps it and puts it under the tree for me to open on Christmas morning.  He would buy my presents himself, but I enjoy finding deals and using coupons, so I usually get a better deal than he does.  He would just go out and pay full retail price.  I ordered it last week through http://www.kohls.com/  (I got 15% off and free shipping) so I had $20 Kohl's Cash from this purchase, a $5 coupon for signing up for Kohl's e-mail alerts while I was at the website, and a 15% off coupon I found while searching for my coffee maker that expired on the 5th.  I didn't really find anything I was interested in purchasing for my new coffee maker so I looked around the store to see what else I could find.

I ended up purchasing a belt for my daughter, and 2 fleece throws (one each for my son and daughter) for Christmas presents.

Belt  Regular Price $20  Sale Price $12
2 Fleece Throws  Regular Price $39.99 each  Sale Price $19.99 each

Regular Price for the 3 Items was $99.98  Sale Price was $51.98

Actual Price Paid for the 3 Items was $51.98 -  $20 (Kohl's Cash) - $5 (e-mail signup coupon) = $26.98 - $4.05 (15% off coupon) = $22.93 + $1.38 (6% Sales Tax) = $24.31

I paid $24.31 for $99.98 in merchandise.  That's a SAVINGS of $77.05 (before tax) or a 77% (before tax) SAVINGS!

I don't know about anyone else, but I think saving 77% on a purchase is really great.
