Haven't gotten any great grocery deals lately, but I did do some shopping at Macy's yesterday and I will share the results of that trip with you now!

Right now a bunch of the women's clothing is 70% off at Macy's. PLUS take an extra 20% off when you use your Macy's card, or in my case I had received some coupons for $10 off a purchase of $30 or more when I used my Macy's credit card.

A lot of you are probably looking to save and the last thing you want to do is sign up for a credit card, but here's the deal with Macy's. Sign up for the credit card, receive 20% off the day that you sign up. Then, each month you are mailed coupons for 20% off or like I said $10 off $30 or more. Plus, once a year you receive a birthday coupon for $10 off $30 or more as well!

On top of all this, you can sign up for Macy's Rewards. It's a free program and the clerk will scan your free keytag each time you purchase something. After 5 visits to the store, you will receive a $$ dollar amount of rewards, good on ANYTHING in the store! (Use it just like cash)

For example, one time I received $11 in Macy's cash to use on anything. I combined that with one of my $10 off coupons and I got over $30 worth of stuff for around $9bucks!!! :-)

Plus, every once in a while, you will receive a free chocolate bar, or package of pretzels, etc. This is random and you may or may not receive these.

After you are done purchasing your items with your Macy's card, pay the balance off immediately in the store, so you don't build up interest charges. This way, you are receiving the discounts and great rewards, without all the interest and hassle!


Yesterday I was in store looking to find some great deals on a few new shirts for work. (I will be starting to work again soon!) I was just skimming through the clearance racks and found some great deals. On top of that I had two $10 off $30 or more coupons that I was going to use. I broke my purchases up into two different transactions to receive the best discount.

Transaction #1:

*Knitwear Originally: $58.00
I paid: $11.40

*Sweater Orignially: $48.00
I paid: $10.40

Altogether, after my discounts I paid $22.84, including tax.


SAVINGS: $84.20 just on two sweaters!! :-)

Transaction #2:

*AGB Top Originally: $44.00
I paid: $4.60

*INC Sportswear Originally: $20.50
I paid: $4.92

*Karen Scott Shirt Originally: $24.00
I paid: $4.20

*Jones Sweater Originally: $99.00
I paid: $9.85

After discounts, I paid $24.69, including tax.

SAVINGS: $163.93!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT! :-)


PLUS ON TOP OF SAVING ALMOST $250 ON THESE CLOTHES, I EARNED ALMOST $2.00 IN MACY'S CASH THAT I WILL RECEIVE AT A LATER DATE! :-)


HOPE YOU ALL CAN GRAB SOME GREAT DEALS LIKE THIS!


HAPPY SHOPPING!
