Your Good Buy Of The Day (Part 1)

Our Costco has Calvin Klein panties on clearance—3 pack @$4.97.

CVS has put their school supplies on clearance 90% off - I picked up a dozen backpacks for only .99 or $1.49 each! I got a nice pile of stuff to donate to the school where I volunteer.

@3puppies Thanks for the tip! DW picked up about $60 worth of folders and little prizes for her students. After sale and coupon, she paid exactly $0.00.

The other day, I was on the Flowfold website, previewing their products since they’re a Maine startup that sells items made of recycled racing sails. Their webpage offers a FREE card case (normally $10-12 plus shipping) if you sign up with your email. My free card case is now on its way!

From the stocking stuffer thread, i thought I’d buy some of those cool multicolor braids as little gifts and searched around online and found a similar item at under $2.50/item, with free shipping to contiguous US for purchases over $50, so the Maine hotel says fine to mail it there. I’m getting 21 of those charming braids!

Ok, can’t give the repair kits without needles, so just bought a bunch of sets of needles and am also sending them to the hotel—prices at createforless are much lower than local prices, especially with the free postage. I figure these will be handy for grab bags (braid with self-threading needles)—just attach some money or a gift card for a full gift for godchildren. At this site, it was about 1/2 the price of other sites.

I need a new door, so I checked price at Home Depot. Then I went to Lowe’s to see what else I should consider. The6 both suggested the same door.
I went back to Home Depot today, and told them Lowe’s was a little cheaper. They “worked some magic” and the door became close to 300 cheaper.
Consider this a public service announcement that it doesn’t hurt to ask for a discount.

Sitting in a restaurant across the street from a Container Store. There is a sign in their window saying that all shelving and Elfa solutions are 25% off.

@1214mom - Holy cow - how fancy is the expensive door that they can knock 300 off of the price? Does it come with a doorman?

I don’t know if you shopped for a nice double front door lately… it is not 3 digits. :wink:

@3puppies, it is NOT a fancy door. It’s really pretty basic/plain.

Bill Browder’s son has an app out called Do Not Pay (pink dollar sign on dark brown/burgundy field). It helps you get refunds for bank fees, uber and lyft, prescription drugs, etc., etc.

I tried to use it at CVS for a lower prescription price but I had a complex situation. No need to go into it but H and I and the Dr. were going back and forth and H had to exchange one of my scrips at a different pharmacy and the new one ended up being $0 instead of $98.

Moral of the story - try to save $$$ one way and you just might save it another way!

*Bill Browder is the Magnitsky Act person if you’re wondering… He comes from a family of math geniuses.

I’m slowly training my doctors to write my Rx the way my insurer wants them, 90 day supply, refillable 3x. If I fill them the way insurer wants, my copay is minimal or more often $0. If I fill 30 or 60 days, at a time, it’s $7, $14 or more for each 30 days.

On of my board members works for medical insurer and says there is a pharmacy dispensing fee each time I go to the pharmacist. It’s cheapest for insurer and therefore for patients when we just get it dispensed every 90 days instead of in shorter increments.

That said, originally, I was charged a $14 copay for my beta blocker. The pharmacist had it refunded and I send an electronic message to my doctor, asking that she switch the Rx to 90 days supply, refillable 3x and voila, I got a 90 day supply of the same Rx with no copay!

It appears Walmart is selling Lord & Taylor clothes extra 30% off. I subscribe to offers.com and got an email with this offer. How weird is that. 10/9 to 10/24 while supplies last. Apparently the flagship store is closing.

Just placed three Costco orders for canvas, metal, etc enlargements, in the box of the first one was this discount code, since I cannot use it, y’all may:

GIFTGUIDE

20% off

Yesterday at Target I loaded my cart up with clearance outdoor strings of 20 globe lights. (what you would use in the summer for ambience. :slight_smile: ) Reduced to $2.98 each. I got 18 boxes. The kids are going to snarf most of them up for their homes and I am going to save a few to hang outside our cottage!

@abasket I am seeing these for $6.99 online.

I really like this month’s Target beauty box for $5. There is a $3 off a $15 beauty purchase coupon inside.

Yes @raclut that was the size - mine have green string which is actually better for outside IMO blends better with nature. :slight_smile: $2.98 was still a steal!

Nordstrom is price matching, I have no idea where.

But beauty brands that I have NEVER EVER seen on sale before. And definitely not 20% off.

I saw NARS orgasm blush 20% off and Jo Malone cologne 20% off.

Thank you @deb922 ! Time to shop for gifts.

Sorry, but that blush name!!! Is it a hot seller?!!!
