GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED
{Winner: Carol Clark}
Merry Christmas!
I don’t know about you, but every year I do more and more shopping online. Maybe I’m just getting lazy, but since I’m in front of the computer running my blog day to day, shopping online has become my most preferred way to shop. Don’t get me wrong, I still love to browse in a store and touch and feel things, but if there is something I know I want and I know I can get the best deal by shopping online, then it’s a no brainer for me. I’m going to buy it online if it saves me money and more often than not, the best deals are online these days.
I’ve put this thinking to the test many times and always shop around when I’m about to buy something to see what the pricing looks like. I’m all about bargain shopping and I know you are too. It pays to look for the lowest price and on top of that, it pays to look for coupons. I consider myself a pretty good shopper overall. And getting the best deal is the bottom line on shopping for anything I buy.
Are you doing that online? Looking for the best deals and using coupons?

My family exchanges gifts with each other and we all have lists that get passed around. So, when I get those lists with links (total aside, but my niece, Lauren, has mastered the list for herself and her girls and always has shopping links in her Christmas List emails to us. The girl never runs out of “I want this” links to send to us), which makes it easy to shop online and just buy from there.
As mentioned, I’m all about saving as much money as I can on any particular item, so I will definitely do my research online before I click buy and try to save when the company is having a big sale or if there are coupons to be applied, I’m going to use them. Free shipping is also a really big thing for me. If I can get free shipping, all the better! I’m not a fan of paying for shipping if I don’t have to especially for big items.
Speaking of those coupons, one of my favorite place to look online for coupons is RetailMeNot. Have you heard of them? I click over there frequently when I’m buying something to see if I can find an extra coupon with more money off than is offered on the site, plus they frequently offer free shipping codes as well. I’ve even been known to buy something else to get free shipping if there’s something I want anyway. If the shipping cost is at least half of the item I add in the cart, then it’s worth it to me to add to my order to get FREE shipping.
That means extra money in the pocket, which makes me a happy girl! RetailMeNot is a great destination for saving money whether you’re shopping online or in the store. They offer thousands of coupons, deals, cash back offers and discount e-gift cards so it’s easy to save at all your favorite stores and restaurants!
I don’t tend to shop on my phone. I’m a little old fashioned and use my laptop for all my major purchases, but you can sure find me shopping online these days. But, having the app on my phone gives me a look at the deals at my fingertips.
If you’re looking to shop online or in stores this season, go and check out RetailMeNot first to look for coupons. Plus, if you didn’t know, you can combine codes with cashback offers to save even more money. Cashback offers is something I need to do more often, I’m sure I’m missing out on those deals. Sometimes you can get $30 cash back with just one click!

This time of the year is the best time to think about saving money. We all spend more money this time of year, so why not have it stretch further with coupons and cash back deals? I’m all for that and getting the most bang for my buck is the best feeling. No need to get completely stressed out over the Holidays, which should be a time of joyful celebration.
Stores that I use and love are Kohl’s and Macy’s. I shop usually in person at Kohl’s and will search for coupons or check the app before I buy anything there this season.

“I don’t tend to shop on my phone. I’m a little old fashioned and use my laptop for all my major purchases”–this cracked me up, lol! I wonder when any part of online shopping became old fashioned. 😉
I’m with you, though, I need a nice, large screen and a mouse and a real keyboard to thoroughly search, shop, and purchase.
Haha, Kate! Yes that’s what I meant, large screen, I want to see what I’m doing. By some standards that would be considered old fashioned.
I ordered some canvas prints for my granddaughter! She just had pics taken of her and her horse. Thanks! Inspired me to just get it done.
I check retailmenot all the time. It is very user friendly and has saved me money. I like the Kohls and Amazon deals.
Amazon and Kohl’s!!! Thanks for letting me know about this!
30% off at Kohl’s with their card of the $20 of $40 at CVS. Great deals
I may use the CVS coupon.
Downloaded app to my phone. Now I have to remember to use it!!!
Love your new home and your blog.
Sandy
I love the app. I always check it for deals when I’m in a store. I’ll use the Kohl’s 30% off coupon.😊
I’m looking forward to the Kohl’s coupon. I can find something for everybody in my family. I will also be using the Michael’s coupon to get my oldest some art supplies.
I’d definitely use the $20 Off $40+ at CVS!
I’ve used that savings site and just bought something from William Sonoma that saved me $20 and I got free shipping!!
Thanks for the reminder. The first time I heard about retailmenot was from a customer of mine.I’m a cashier at a department store. I love the deals.
I had heard about RetailMeNot, but forgot to check it out, thanks for reminding me. I have signed up and I have my eye on a Faux Shearling Vest from Chico’s
Thank you for the heads up about RetalMeNot. I’m a Kohls shopper so I’ll be using it there. I love your blog and all of your informative and interesting information.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Mark.

I always use RetailMeNot when shopping online. Over the weekend, I used it for an order I placed on Kohls.com. Wonderful giveaway. Thanks Rhoda & happy holidays to you!

I love RetailMeKnot and always check for coupons or deals whenever and wherever I shop…it’s inherent in my thrifting, garage-saleing, treasure-hunting nature. Amazon or Shopko are my go-tos…I need to check out Kohl’s again too. Thanks for the giveaway & hope you’re feeling better.
I am excited for $20 off $40+ at CVS. Very useful for holiday season.
Definitely kate spade 30%….
