  • About Me

    I'm happily married with 6 fur-babies! (2 dogs and 4 cats and they are all special needs.) My life is dedicated to helping animals in some way or another. I've practically made a full time job out of couponing. I've been doing this for a little over a year and I'm addicted! It seems to always amaze people how much I'm able to get for very little money so I thought it'd be nice to share! It is very time consuming but worth every penny saved! I also hope to help new couponers get into the game!

I’m back with LOTS of deals to share!

Published by couponanimal under Uncategorized Edit This

We’re back from vacation and wow I  have a lot of catching up to do! I got some really excellent deals over the past week including: Target, KMart, Publix, CVS, Walgreens, IZOD and Hickory Farms!! And I haven’t even done my shopping for this week yet!

Just to get you started…here are a couple of fantastic deals that I just couldn’t pass up. These are not calculated into my yearly spending/savings since they are clothing and gift items. But I wanted to share the savings with you!

IZOD:
(As many of you know this store is way over priced in my opinion, although they occasionally have a good sale on some nice things. Lucky for me I happened to be browsing the mall and picked up some awesome savings!)
The sale was 50% off original price, 50% off sale price, then an additional 20% off that sale price!!
Women’s Polo Shirt 48.00 - 24.00(50%) -12.00(50%) -2.40(20%) = 9.60
Women’s Knit Shirt 34.99 - 17.50(50%) -8.75(50%) -1.75(20%) = 6.99
Women’s Hoodie 44.99 -22.50(50%) -11.25(50%) -2.25(20%) = 8.99
Men’s Knit Shirt 48.00 - 24.00(50%) -12.00(50%) -2.40(20%) = 9.60

Total including tax: $38.43; Total Savings: $140.80
Can you believe I paid $38 for 4 IZOD shirts that would have normally cost almost $180??!!

Hickory Farms:
(Hickory Farms was having a GREAT sale on gift items. This deal is no longer available but check their website for other deals!
They are giving 85% off original price. I also had a coupon code for 15% off my total and I will receive 4% back for ordering through EBates! Pretty sweet savings!)
I don’t have the original prices on individual items since it didn’t print on my invoice.
(2)Petits Fours $4.85
(1)Ham Smokehouse Collection Gift Box $3.83
(1)Reduced Sugar Vanilla Torte $1.70
(1)Warm & Hearty Welcome Gift Box $3.18

Total including tax & shipping: $22.46 ($7.99 was s/h); Total savings: $105.00

Stay tuned for several deals over the next few days!
