Macy’s Trip!

What a great sale at Macy’s!  Can you believe I paid $3.09 for all this!


Here is what I did. I hit the “one day” clearance sale today before 1pm when they have the best sales. (This sale is also tomorrow!) I hit the clearance racks and found a TON of deals- I always take a huge pile to the price scanners at Macy’s and almost everything I scanned was cheaper than it was marked.

The grand total for a Puma sweatshirt/pants, knit sweater/pants, hooded sweater, Carter’s dress, and Pjs was about $38. Then I used the $10/25 coupon HERE to make it $28. Then I used a free $25 gift card to Macy’s I got from Expo TV*. I know a lot of you think programs like Swagbucks and Expo aren’t worth bothering with but a $5 gift card or $25 gift card when used at the right time can really add up to a lot of dollars! The total savings on my receipt was $142!

*A side note about Expo- I really hope you got in on this last year when I posted about it repeatedly.  They have recently made changes to the program which make it much harder to earn gift cards.  Also I have noticed the programs they invite you to are already filled basically the same day I accept them.  So I am not much of a fan of this program anymore but it was GREAT while it lasted! You get still get in on Swagbucks- read more about it HERE.

    Thank you so much for posting this! I was going to hit up the sale tonight but instead I’ll go in the morning so I can use the coupon.
    The polka dot dress is too cute, I sure hope I have a little girl one day : )

    I have to second you on Swagbucks. I have already earned $30 in Amazon gift cards and I only started in October. I also love MyPoints, since you can get points for redeeming grocery coupons you print there.

    I too am a member of expotv and I too am not happy with them either. I accept a program then they have no points available. I always hear you talk about swagbucks but still not exactly sure how it works .

    I know. Expo used to be awesome and now I don’t even want to post about it. Such a shame. But Swagbucks probably takes 5 minutes to do. Just check out the link I provided with Swagbucks FAQs.

    ya i used to be able to earm points so fast with expo. now the points total for video has been cut in half and like u say, most of the time by the time i finish my info for vid, make vid, and upload, (which doesnt take very long at all) there are no more points left. i too thought it was the best ever than now.. not so great. oook… but not so great.

    That is a jammies set- it has the top, bottoms and a tutu. Those were $4.99 and they are Carter’s- originally $24!
