Cyber Monday Sales Begin

As I’m surfing the web for good deals this morning and checking my email, I’ve seen that many Cyber Monday sales are beginning now.  I thought…after I looked at the first few, “Hey, I should sale these with my readers.”  If you are like me, I won’t be able to take advantage of any Cyber Monday sales tomorrow until later in the afternoon because I’ll be working, but today I’m able to make some purchases.  I’m almost done with my shopping, but there are still a few people left on my list.  (I hate shopping on a budget….LOL)  Here are some of the stores who are running sales today and/or tomorrow that you might want to check out.

Note: All bold words are clickable.

So far I’ve browsed the Circuit City ads. They had some great deals on MP3 players and cameras.  There were lots of others, but these were what I noticed the most of.  Also they have some of the higher priced video games with an offer for a $10 gift card back with purchase.

Sears starts their sales at 9pm tonight.  I’m anxious to see those as I always love Sears products.

A really fun gift is one share of stock from One Share.  They will frame the stock and make it really neat as a gift. I did this for several friends a couple years ago and I’m thinking that I’ll purchase a few each month this year as they run specials and then present them to everyone for Christmas next year. They have a huge selection so you can find something that would fit everyone’s personality. They also offer a great presentation for kids to explain what the gift is.  Right now you can save 33% from the transfer fees by going through the link above and using code fee33 and if you want to have them frame the stock, tomorrow (Monday) frames will be 50% off.

GameStop is a store I’m watching closely as there are still a couple games I’m wanting to add to our collection and I just found out two family members who will be receiving a Wii and I’d love to help them get started with their game collection.

eToys is offering free shipping on a ton of their toys. If you are looking for a specific hard to find toy for a little one in your life, eToys may be a great place to start.

It may seem odd, but I’m excited about the sale being offered by Omaha Steaks too.  They’ll have steaks for $2.49 a steak for the entire day Monday.  I’ll be sending these to a couple of the men on my list and maybe to our house too.

Sephora has some good sales going on (makeup makes great stocking stuffers) and free shipping for orders over $25…It’s so easy to spend $25 dollars (and I have a gift certificiate for $15 off of $30 so I’m heading over to do some spending now). For the free shipping go through the link above and use SHIP25 as a code.

Kmart had some pretty good online savings Thanksgiving day so I’m really anxious to see their CyberMonday sales.  I know they’ll have a Christmas tree at 25% off, 50% off sterling silver jewelry, 25% off maternity clothing, 40% off Levi Strauss, 20% off Hannah Montana guitars, and 40% off holiday dresses.  They’ll also offer free shipping on order over $29 on December 1st, 8th, and 15th.

Lakeside Collection is a store where I find unique gifts throughout the year. They’ve not released what they’ll have, but I am hearing that they’ll have a collection of items at 50% off for Monday only.  If you’ve never shopped through them, check them out.  You might be surprised at how many gifts you can find.

Another store that you may be interested in is Shutterfly.  Shutterfly is a photo developing and gifts webstore. One of the best deals they are having in honor of Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale is that if you buy one photo calendar, you can get additional ones at 50% off.  If you are looking for an original gift for grandparents, aunts, and/or uncles, a photo calendar with all the little ones’ pictures is a gift that will be treasured for more than the year that they use it. If you’ve never used Shutterfly, go through here to get 50 free prints and an 11×14 collage, 

Overstock is a vendor that I’m sometimes really excited with their prices and sometimes somewhat disappointed, but they are always worth checking out and I did receive an email from them that there will be some great Cyber Monday sales so if you have time, go check them out. The link above will get you 5% discount sidewide and free shipping (excludes books, movies, music and games).

Batteries.com is my favorite place to stock up on batteries and goodness knows we ALWAYS need a ton of batteries after Christmas.  They too are having a great sale this weekend.

Get 15% off your entire order at Dick’s Sporting Goods.

Disney Shopping has a great sale going on today that I’ve already taken advantage of. Today is the last day which means tomorrow we are very likely to see some really good ones.

Have you ever shopped at Drugstore.com? They are one of my favorite stores. One day I hope to do almost all of my shopping online thanks to stores like Drugstore.com where I can buy the necessitites of life.  They have some great sales going on this weekend.  I’ve picked up a few things including a board game that I didn’t find on sale anywhere else that was on Cameron’s list.

eCost is a new vendor for me.  This was my first purchase from them, but they have some really good prices and some REALLY good sales.

If you’ll be able to shop Monday, check out Macy’s.  They are advertising some great Cyber Monday sales.

I did some shopping in their store Friday, and I’ll be watching closely for their sales Monday. Who? Staples.  I have always loved just browsing the aisles at Staples. There was a time when we browsed so much that many of the salespeople knew my daughter by name.

 

**I’ll continue to update this page as I find more deals.

WooHoo….the Thanksgiving Sales Begin

I’ve spent the morning going through and finding out who has started their sales now and who will have what tomorrow. I’ve never done much online shopping for Thanksgiving sales but because I need to make some money to continue my Super Member status at Sunshine Rewards (see link to the right), I’ve been watching anxiously this year.  If I can find the gifts for great prices online, I can purchase them through my SR links and then receive the good deals as well as a percent back from shopping through Sunshine Rewards.

What I really want is a laptop for the girls, but so far I’m still looking for the right price.  I just don’t have much this year, but they are really wanting them so I am watching closely in hopes of at least being able to find one for my oldest daughter.  We shall see.  If you are wanting to see what sales are available now or will be soon, check out bfads.net for some great listings.

 

CBS Early Show Mega Deals

Ever watch the CBS Early Show? I’m not a regular viewer, but I’m proud to tell you about these awesome Kmart sales that they recently talked about.  In fact these sales are so great, that Kmart can’t actually publish all the prices on their site.  To find out, you have to add the items to your cart. When you do this, obviously, you’ll see the price of the items.  You know when there’s a limit on something or the price is so slow that it can’t be published, that there are some awesome deals.  This Kmart sale is no exception.

A couple of the deals are:

  • - Women’s Kimono Wrap Sweater Extra 10% off online only (search ID# 70198911)
  • - Abbey Hill bedding Medallion Dream bedding collection – Extra 30% online only (search ID# 96096112)
  • - 1/4ct tw Diamond 5-Stone Journey Pendant and Earrings Set in 10K Yellow Gold with Extra 10% off online only (search ID# 89270115)
While these are some of the best deals, they aren’t nearly all.  In addition to these special sales (so low you have to check prices in the shopping cart), there are many other categories that you can receive 10% off throughout the month of December.  These categories include:
  • - womens plus sleepwear 
  • - womens attention brand 
  • - girls tops 
  • - ALL juniors 
  • - boys tops 
  • - mens shirts and bottoms 
  • - big mens shirts and bottoms 
  • - infant and toddler bedding
I have to admit that there are some other stores that tend to be more convenient for me so I’ve done little shopping at Kmart in the past, but after having these opportunities to blog to you about all of the sales and positive steps Kmart is taking in helping us spread our dollars and provide our children with a Merry Christmas, I’m going to start going out of my way to stop in (and do some online shopping!).
Tip:  As you browse the Kmart website from now until Christmas, keep your eyee out for hidden ornaments through out the site. They will provide you with extra savings via a special coupon code.

Black Friday – Before Thanksgiving?

As I was going through our daily paper today, I noticed a Sears ad.  I actually need a few things from Sears and have some gifts in mind for my dad and brother in law that I’ll probably order from Sears so I went ahead and flipped through it.  I was amazed to see that Saturday they are having an early morning, wee hours, sale just like I am used to shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving – Black Friday.  How exciting is that for us bargain shoppers? Then as I move around the web tonight to some of my regular sites, I am given the opportunity to come and tell you about these amazing deals.  (Seemed like fate to me so I jumped on this one)

If you are ready to do some shopping, whether it be Christmas gifts or major home purchases, check out the sales at Sears Super Saturday Sale, Saturday November 22nd and you may just want to rise early and be there bright and early Saturday morning to get the best deals (and be sure they don’t sale out) because this sale will only be good on November 22nd, and Sears will not be issuing any rainchecks. It will be first come, first serve (just like on Black Friday).

A couple of the sales that really cayght my eye were the Craftsman C3 19.2-volt 3-pc combo tool kit and the outerwear and sweaters will be 60% off.    We are really in need of new jackets and coats for this year as I’ve not bought myself one in several years (and of course Cameron outgrows hers so quickly).
