There is still a lot left at the sale. Stuff a bag full of sale items and all you pay is $15 per bag. I got $172 worth of merchandise for $30!

50% Off Perfume Gift Sets At Walgreens

Kent Walgreens had this nice selection of gift sets left over from Christmas smack dab in the center of all of the valentines day stuff.  They had a lot of perfumes and sets at half off which included a Britney Spears fragrance and lotion set for $9.99, Old Spice sets for $4.99, Color workshop big sets of make up for $9.99, and lots of others.  While a few of the bath sets were clearly labeled for the winter holidays, most were not and would make great Valentines Day gifts for your honeys who would never know you paid half off.

Spotted at Brimfield Walmart! Iams clearance deal!

I never got around to Target to use my $3/1 Iams Dry Dog or Cat Food  from the 01/29/2012 P&G Insert and as I happened to be at Brimfield Walmart, I thought I would check the prices on the smallest packages of Iams. I found the 2lb bags and they would have been $ 1.57 with the coupon so I put 4 into the cart. My little guy wanted to see the fish so I walked along the back aisle towards the fish when I spotted a clearance end cap of 5.5lb bags of Iams Premium Protection for $5 a bag. With the couoon, I ended up paying $8 for 22lbs of premium cat food, which as you can see, was claimed the moment it came through the door!

Clearance CVS brand Pullups deal!

CVS has boys and girls training pants on sale for 75% off. I paid $3.57 per pack at CVS in Kent. My sister verified that CVS in Stow also has the same clearance sale going on.

Pads at Ravenna Marcs 99 Cents

I love the closeout section of Marcs stores. I never go in without finding a deal and today was no exception.  They had these Up & Up (Target Brand) Super Maxi Pads for 99 cents. That's a better deal then you can generally get with a coupon on pads. We found these in the Ravenna Marcs and they were on a bottom shelf in the closeout section next to giant bags of generic Q-tips for $1. I have not checked the other Marcs around us, but a lot of the time they have the same items in so it's worth checking.  This is a stock up price!

Amazing new coupon binder at even more amazing price!

I have a perfectly functional coupon binder, it's only flaw is that it's sometimes bulky to transport. I was in envy of Sarah's pretty 4 inch Case-it binder with a spine handle and shoulder strap but was not prepared to pay the normal retail price for the binder which is currently $25 on Amazon. Earlier in the season, I spied a variety of Case-it three inch binders at Wal-Mart in their back to school section, they were eye catching, more than big enough for my coupons and featured the spine strap and shoulder strap that I so envied, however they were $20 and I didn't feel I could justify the expense when the binder I had was perfectly adequate. 

Today, I went into Walmart for a couple of grocery items but was attracted to the clearance sections because I simply can not pass up a deal. I spotted a couple of those binders in the clearance school supply section. I picked it up to price scan while I grabbed up a few other dirt cheap items, notebooks for 20 cents, two packs of glue sticks for 40 cents. I was fully prepared to be disappointed at the price scanner but the number popped up like a bright and shiny star, "$7." If I had been anywhere besides Walmart, I might have been embarrassed by squealing out loud in delight. I didn't need it but at 65% off of the previous price, I splurged. What good is it to focus on saving money if you can't buy something fun for yourself every once in a while?
