clearance time

January 23, 2010 by · Leave a Comment

Typically, January and February are huge clearance sale months. This year appears to be the same. I was in Peebles today (earlier post) and they are having great clearance deals. I also was in Kmart, CVS and Walgreen’s this week and all of those stores are having clearance deals. So if you have a bit of winter cabin fever, grab your coupons and head out to a store. Poke around the clearance items and see what coupon matchups you can do. Lots of great deals to be had. I got some Vicks throat spray this morning at Kmart (Pike Creek) that actually gave me 1.01 in overage.

As far as apparel, generally most apparel retailers follow the same time line. Stuff is clearanced right after xmas and up until Presidents’ day weekend. As the markdowns and sales get better, the selection gets worse. Timing is everything and you have to enjoy the hunt.

Happy shopping!

Run….don’t walk…to Peebles!

I got a home mailer coupon for Peebles for this weekend, so I popped in. Even better than expected! My coupon was for 20% off my entire purchase. But the clerk told me that the whole store is bogo–buy one item, get one for $1.

So…..go to the clearance racks. Still a decent selection and things marked down. Take another 33% off all clearance items, and bogo on top of that! If the item is not a clearance item, I could use my 20% off coupon, otherwise it was 33%. I got some fantastic deals like $60 jeans for $9, stuff like that.

Happy shopping!

Oh, and it’s also Clinique bonus time there, if you do that.

a blah week-but keep your eye on Superfresh

January 16, 2010 by · Leave a Comment

Seems to be a very blah grocery week. Nothing to crow about as far as deals. Both Acme and Superfresh are running sales on their line of store-brand items. Personally I do not care for generics, as I do think sometimes the quality isn’t as good, and I find that with coupons and deals I can usually do better price-wise with name brand stuff. But I do buy generic if I can’t find a deal on staples, like flour, sugar, vinegar….stuff like that. So you may want to check it out.

Superfresh had a long, dry spell. No great sales, no triples, no decent catalina deals. But it seems in recent weeks they have picked up again–offering triples and great 2-day sales. So keep your eye on them.

A slow week once in a while is good to catch up on clipping & organizing, or just plain taking a break.

New Balance January clearance

January 13, 2010 by · Leave a Comment

We love New Balance shoes. I like the quality and they have the off-sizes that we always need. They are one of few companies that make wides for kids. Their website is having their annual January clearance sales, so good deals to be found.

Don’t forget to use ebates to order and enter through the ebates site. You’ll get more $ back on your order. If you don’t have an ebates account, get one. Use lightners at comcast.net as your referral, and we’ll both get $5!
