The Rare Weekend Waltze to Walmart

It seems every once a in a long while we end up going over to Walmart. In this case there was a great Crayola Clearance deal online but you had to pick up the order in person. Many Crayola Pencils, markers where on clearance for close to half off, and you could stack it with online cash back, credit card points making the deal even sweeter. I ended up buying a couple hundred color pencils*, and had packs of markers* coming out of my oldest daughters ears. For some reason all art supplies are consumed quickly in our household.

I figured while I was there I should see about any matchups.

If you use a certain amount of coupons at most Walmarts, the manager has to double check the cashier. Its kinda a total pain especially since all but two of my coupons scanned fine. I did have a good $40+ in coupons that the manager checked. I can’t imagine if every time this happened, and Walmart seems to be the only store it happens at. Makes me very glad I rarely shop here.

Picture of some items we bought. Playtex came out with a $5 off 1 coupon, so for next to nothing we picked up some baby things to donate. Under $2 board games with a $3/1 coupon. Under $1 Organic rice via $1.50/1 coupon. Cheap all natural drink mix $1/1 and some Free Floss.

Staples Gift Card Promotion

Staples Gift Card Promotion at Constant Contact

Constant Contact appears to be having a 40% off Staples gift cards. I noticed this promotion while logged into constant contact, a online toolkit many companies use for  email marketing. The deal is $30 for a $50 staples gift card. Since I go to staples all the time for their easy rebates and other deals you can stack multiple discounts.

Purchased 6 GC for $180 worth $300 at Staples for a $120 money maker.

Their confirmation email did say it would take two weeks for the GC to arrive. I am hoping this deal is as good as it seems.

See below for the terms and conditions.
