After Christmas Sales

Posted by Lisa

If you plan on doing some shopping this weekend, you might want to do a little research before walking out the door.  My daughter and I were going to head out to the sales today until we found out that the great markdowns (for Kohl’s and other stores she wants to hit) will begin SUNDAY.  Glad we looked!  It seems the sales today and tomorrow are more along the lines of teaser sales.  I guess the retailers are trying to recoup.  That coupled with the fact Christmas fell on a Thursday is great for them.  Great for me though, is shopping Sunday.

No Coupon Inserts This Weekend

Posted by Lisa

Don’t rush out Saturday to buy 10 early editions of the Sunday paper for coupons.  There won’t be any.  This is just a friendly reminder.  I’d hate to see anyone be out $15.  There are only a few holidays observed for us couponers and this is one of them, so stay home and keep warm!
