free shopping resource & $250 RetailMeNot giveaway

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by RetailMeNot.  All opinions and experiences shared are, as always, honest and my own.

It’s that time of year.  Along with the decorating and baking and parties, there is shopping.  (And wouldn’t it be nice to win an extra $250 VISA gift card to spend on some of those expenses?  Scroll down to enter the giveaway.)

And not just present shopping, but the-boys-have-a-Christmas-concert-and-need-black-pants-and-a-white-dress-shirt shopping and Calvin-needs-a-new-pair-of-of-winter-gloves shopping and the-heel-on-my-favorite-pair-of-boots-is-flapping-so-it’s-time-to-look-for-a-new-pair shopping.  (I am planning on getting them repaired as well, but they have worked hard for many years and they are looking tired.)

Believe it or not, I don’t particularly enjoy months with lots of shopping.  Drop me in the middle of an antique market and shopping is my favorite, but drop me in the middle of a busy mall during the holidays and it’s definitely not.  I also get a little stressed trying to fit it all into our budget.

I shared a few years ago that we worked through Dave Ramsey’s baby steps and paid off ALL of our non-mortgage debt (including cars and student loans) and now we live by a set, cash-only budget, so we can continue to work towards our financial goals and not wonder where our money went all the time.

A part of sticking to that budget, is stretching our dollars by shopping smart.  For me, that means buying most of my furniture second-hand, buying things with potential that others might overlook, shopping sales, and using coupon codes.

A site I’ve been using for quite a while as a coupon code/sale resource is RetailMeNot. (And before we get too far into this and you feel like I’m trying to sell you something, let me just get this out of the way – this is a FREE site to use.  So, this is just about saving money.  Read on…)

As I shared at the beginning, one of our expenses this month was Christmas concert clothes for the boys.  That means white button-down shirts, black pants, and black shoes.  So, I hopped over to RetailMeNot to see what kind of sales and coupon codes were available.  I zeroed in on GAP pretty quickly, since they make the uniform pants and shirts the boys wear to school and there was an active Old Navy/GAP coupon code for 20% off sitewide (including sales).

I popped over to GAP, picked out the clothes they needed, along with some new uniform clothes, and comfy sweatpants for Marshall (his were looking like capri pants).  I ended up saving $31.93 with the coupon code.

As I’ve been exploring RetailMeNot more for this post, I learned about the “Genie“.  It’s an extension you can add to your internet browser and when you check out online, click it, and it will automatically find the best coupon code for you and even stack ones that can be used together.  You can even earn cash back on those purchases.  And it’s not pennies on the dollar, but more like dimes on the dollar AND they are actual dollars that get deposited in your PayPal account.  I earned $20 cash back for a purchase at Macy’s that was under $200.

Here’s what the Genie looks like in action.  I put the items in my cart (a new pair of boots and some cosmetics), clicked the Genie button, and saved $73.65 off my purchase, plus earned $20 cash back.

 

And here is how the total was broken down…

I picked these Rockport Boots from Macy’s

And, if you’re one of those people who love milling around in a mall, there is a RetailMeNot App that will alert you to deals and coupons that can be scanned at checkout.

Now, for the giveaway…

RetailMeNot is offering a $250 VISA gift card to one lucky winner.  To enter the giveaway, click HERE to sign up for RetailMeNot (again, it’s completely free), browse their website for today’s deals, and comment back on this post with the deal you’re excited to use for holiday shopping this year!  (I spotted 20% off at World Market and 20% off one item at Best Buy!)  

The giveaway will end Tuesday, December 19, 2017, at midnight PST, and a winner will be chosen and announced by Thursday, December 21.

Good luck and happy bargain shopping!

    1. Valerie

      Best Buy!

      Btw I’ve used this site before, but had never heard of the genie. I look forward to putting it to use. Thanks

      • Marian Parsons

        Yeah, I had never heard of that, either! It doesn’t work with every site, but for the sites it is compatible with, it’s awesome! I also hadn’t heard of the cash back and how that works, so I was pretty excited about that, too.

    2. Carrie C in VA

      I would buy kitchen chairs at world market!

    3. Peg D in NY

      I would also buy kitchen chairs at World Market!! our old ones are falling apart!

      I want to get my husband a new Blu-ray player, and the coupon for Best Buy is perfect!

      AND, I would love to see the outside of your house, but understand the need for your privacy. I wish you would do a painting of that!

      • Marian Parsons

        Yes, that’s why I haven’t shown the entire outside. Maybe one day I will. 🙂

    8. Rachael Ryan

      Definitely the $25 cash back at LL Bean, because their stuff never goes on sale and I need a few cozy flannel shirts for the winter months ahead!

      • sandi

        must say that LLB has sales very frequently – I always get their emails – and cash coupons when you use their charge card

    9. TCB

      So many things to choose from. Any savings will be put to good use here.

I bought 1 pair of jeans, 3 long sleeve shirts, a sweater, a puffy vest, and 3 pair of fingerless gloves for $62.00! Not kidding. I let everyone know in line to pull up the app and grab the extra discount. Some people knew about it and others didn’t!

      I love RetailMeNot.com! I have used it for years. I never finish an online purchase without checking their site for discount or free shipping codes. I had no idea about the Genie. I am intrigued by your boots, so that’s one vote for Macy’s. And I have a phone to buy at best buy or Amazon, so I’m interested in those too. Thanks for the chance.
      The Other Marian

      Hello. Check out Ebates.com. I use it for all my online shopping, and now they have it so you can use a code for in store shopping as well. I’ve made $200.00+ just for shopping, and you still get any store coupons or sales such as the Macy’s example you showed. Usually it is 3%-12% cash back and you can get the $ in a check or other way if prefferred. Just a tip!
      Your house looks beautiful by the way! Hope you and your family have a joyous Christmas and a Happy, healthy New Year!

      I noticed that sporting goods store… that makes me blush every time I have to say the name.

    256. Kim

      Thank you for sharing. I have always been wary of that site, but just signed up and it looks good! I do 95% of my shopping online, so I will try this out. The discount that caught my eye today was 10% off at Expedia-that could really save some money for a family vacation.

    257. Marla

      AEO!!!! Yes! Score!

    258. Randy Saunders

      I am a grandfather and couldn’t afford a Christmas present for my wife of 25 years this year. I would LOVE to give her this prize to use on the 70% off at Amazon.

      Oh, my goodness….to many to choose from! Gap, Old Navy or Amazon…cannot make up my mind…Christmas budget is pretty low this year, so bargains are really needed! Still need to do shopping! Thanks for sharing this offer…and have a wonderful Christmas!!!

    284. Susan

      We also worked through Dave Ramsey’s baby steps and paid off all of our non mortgage debt as well. It has been life changing! Since Christmas shopping can be a budget breaker, a few years back I set-up a “Christmas” club savings account wherein a specific amount is deposited each month throughout the year. It matures at the beginning of December just in time for Christmas shopping! Happy New Year Marian!
