Shopping Mall FREEBIES Weekend
How was your weekend? Did you get any good deals? If you did, share them with us! I’m excited to share my deals with you! The family and I set out to spend a day at the mall, and of course before we headed out I was sure to print all my coupons so I would be prepared! Check out all the deals I was able to score.
Home Depot
Home Depot was probably one of the most FUN stores to shop in. Do you remember the Home Depot Zombie Mulch game I told you to go play? Well, I hope you played. Because for every Facebook account you can earn up to $30 in Home Depot coupons! So, that means I earned $30 worth of coupons and my husband earned $30 worth of coupons! That’s $60 in FREE Home Depot goodies!
The coupons are only good for items found in Home & Garden. So, when we arrived to the store we went on a hunt! When you play the game you get one $5 off of a $5.01 purchase, $10 off of a $10.01 purchase, and $15 off of a $15.01 purchase. So, you know me, I tried to get as close to those totals as possible! The first things we put in the cart were Disney Flashlights and batteries. We figured that would be great for Christmas toys and stocking stuffers. These items were found in the Home & Garden section of Home Depot. However, when we arrived to checkout we were informed that even though they were displayed in Home & Garden, they were indeed considered Electronics. Phoey. Back to Home & Garden we went.
We walked around for a bit and checked out all the great stuff we could choose from. They had Christmas decor, Pumpkins, Plants(or course), and…wait for it…an entire cleaning supply isle! Yay! We were in chemical heaven! What made it even better is that all the prices fit right where we needed them to. Just barely over the coupon value!

**Transaction #6 MY HUSBANDS $15 COUPON**
Well, for some reason we forgot the last $15 coupon! Darn! It would have only been another $0.36 out of pocket for another fabric softener and HUGE Xtra Detergent! I guess we were a little too excited to get out the door and go shopping with coupons! It happens.
The prices shown above are after tax. So, Total Before coupons $48.24. Total after, $3.24!!!! What are you waiting for! I told you to play the Zombie game! Now do you see that it’s worth 30 minutes of your time to play?
-Side note. Yes, we did 5 transactions back to back. We checked out in the Garden Center where it was slow. No one behind us. However, even if if was busy, the 5 transactions went very smooth and very fast. We spent more time after we paid talking to the cashiers about saving money!
Bath & Body Works
How about the Bath & Body Works coupon I mentioned a few days ago? Did you print yours? It’s easy to print and easy to redeem! These make great bath candles for yourself, or great gifts for others! You can even make it a cute gift basket and throw in some FREE body wash you get all the time with coupons! Maybe even a razor to go with! Sounds like a great gift to me!
Bought (1) Mini Candle $3.50
Used (1) FREE Mini Candle Coupon
Final Price FREE!
Men’s Wearhouse
My husband earned a $50 coupon a while back and it was going to expire in December. Since we were already at the mall, I figured it would be best to use it.
Bought (1) White Button Up Shirt $54.99
Use (1) $50 off Coupon
Final Price $4.99!
Gymboree
I always must stop inside Gymboree. I’ll admit. I’m adicted :) But of course we did not dare enter without a coupon! Everything in the store was an extra 25% off and on top of that I had the 20% off coupon from the Family FUN Magazine. Let’s just say we walked out with a ton of AWESOME deals!
You always want to request those FREE Magazine deals because they always have coupons for us! Here is one now.
FREE Baby Talk Magazine
Express
There was a coupon out for Express for $40 off $120, $30 off $75, or $15 off $15. Of course I want to do the $15 off $15! However, Express being one of my favorite stores, I caved ;) I did print the coupon twice so I used one and my husband used one. I was able to get a few things using the $15 off $15 for only pennies out of pocket. My husband was able to get me an adorable pencil skirt, shirt, and dress for about 75% off retail! Even though that total wasn’t FREE, it was still a HOT deal. And of course they were HOT pieces
*Note the Express coupon now states that the $15 must be used on $30 or more. When I printed mine, it was different wording. Still a great deal!
All in all, we had a blast shopping with the family looking for deals! The kids were able to throw pennies in the fountain and help point out products in Home Depot. I had a great weekend. How about you? What did you score?
Everyday Family FREE Sign Up
I have mentioned Everyday Family on Fun 2B Frugal several times already. This is a company where I get awesome baby formula checks, samples, coupons and more. I was hesitant to sign up with them for a long time, but I’m so glad I finally gave in. I get at least two surprises from them every month. We no longer need the baby formula checks, but since I still receive them I pass them along to someone who does! Or, if the check it going to make the formula FREE, I will go ahead and grab it myself to donate.
Anyways, if you too have been putting off signing up with Everyday Family, join today! It’s FREE and FUN to get surprises in your mailbox! Plus, they have a great promotion right now if you sign up you can get a FREE 8×10 Photo Canvas from Canvas People. If this sounds like something you’re interested in, don’t delay. Get your FREE canvas for signing up! *I’m not sure if you will still owe shipping on the canvas. Canvas People run promotions all the time for a FREE canvas and you usually still have to pay shipping.
Keurig Brewer For Only $56 Shipped!
Keurig
*Update- In order to get the $20 back in Kohl’s Cash you will need to add another $4.01 to your cart so that you meet the $100 before tax. Just add a little filler item maybe a stocking stuffer, or consider the following:
Keurig K-Cup Portion Pack Diedrich Coffee Morning Edition Blend –$11.99
If you add this pack of Keurig K-Cups you can submmit for an extra $1 off on your MIR.
The Keurig Brewer has been on my mind all day! Thanks to a friend who brought up a debate on whether or not she should FINALLY give in and get herself one. My answer of course was YES! They are awesome. There are so many drinks you can make with them such as tea, coffee, apple cider, vitamin water, Snapple, and one of my favorites that we will be making soon, hot chocolate!
With all that said I found a great price on one from Kohl’s. The Keurig Brewer Elite B40 is on sale for $119 down from $149.99. And if you order it by Oct. 24th, you will score $20 Kohl’s Cash Back to spend. AND there is also a Keurig Mail In Rebate to submit for! Oh, AND you will get an extra 20% off by using promo code SPIDERWEB and of course FREE shipping. It all sounds like a deal, now take a look at how I break it down.
1. Add the Keurig Brewer Elite B40 to your cart. The total will be $127.19
2. Continue to checkout and add code SPIDERWEB in the promo box. Pictured below.
3. Your total will then go down to $101.75. This is what you pay out of pocket.
4. Get Back $20 in Kohl’s Cash.
5. Submit for $25 Keurig Brewer Mail In Rebate.
See how that works? Let me break it down in a deal scenario.
