As You Fall Into Chocolate, Hang Onto Your Gift Cards and Coupons!

  When you are a good shopper, well you are just a good shopper.  It might involve a little luck, being at the right spot at the right time or basically good karma.  When you shop with coupons and gift cards, it just makes your hunt, search and purchase all that more exciting.  Here is a "shower of good fortune" told through these three true...true ...stories.  This gal pal is also a repeat person that I have already blogged about.  She knows how to shop, she knows how to find a deal and she knows how to come out a winner...so here we go!!!
   Heading into SteinMart with a $100 gift card can be a very dangerous venture, just way to much variety to choose from.  Two hours later and 50 outfits tried on and nothing is working.  Onto the shoe department but first her eye catches the purses.  And there it is..a robins egg blue COACH tote with white leather straps and bottom.  The purse retailed for $368, the SteinMart price was $229, add an extra 30% off, a 20% off birthday coupon and then her $100 gift card brought this purse down to $30...unbelievable!!!  This is one steady fall right into a big bowl of chocolate!!!
   More good news for this gal pal.  Shopping at Kohls and spotted an Anti Gravity Lounge Chair (so nice for summer nights on the deck).  Retails for $129 and on clearance for $59.99, 30% off coupon, 2 $10 coupons (for spending $50 each time at Kohls previously), and a $5 off birthday coupon brings the total of this chair to a whopping $17...that's amazing!!!  Once again, falling into the bowl of chocolate and now adding the whip cream!!!
   And the good news just keeps flowing.   My gal pal saw a Michael Kors faux suede jacket on the clearance rack at Dillards for $38 marked down from $129,  take an extra 30% off and this item sold for $27.40.  Okay, now the reason it was marked down was because one of the sleeves was torn.  She is so savyy, she bought it, repaired it and got herself one slick bargain.  Here we go again into the bowl of chocolate.  Enjoy the fall into your own bowl of chocolate and don't forget the cherry on top!!!
