Bargain Shopping

So I've been scouring clearance racks lately (Target, I love you!), and that's always fun...especially when I accidentally rifle through racks that have maternity clothing on them! Whoopsie! Although I have to say, maternity clothes have come a long way. Some are really, really cute! If I ever do get pregnant, at least I know I'll be able to look stylish...although after 9 months, I'm sure that'll be the last thing I care about, heh. If my pregnancy is anything like my mother's...well, I'll be very, very pregnant at 9 months, so I'll be lucky if anything fits! But that's not something I have to worry about...although I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to be worrying about it sometime soon. Maybe someday, I will. :)

Shopping Online

I get soooo many e-mails from stores I've bought things from online. It's getting to be overwhelming, actually. And it makes me want to spend money I don't have! But one of the e-mails I get is actually helpful. It lists coupons and deals from just about any store I can think of. Sometimes, it will list Kohls coupon codes, among other stores' codes, that you can use to get online deals. Why I didn't think of this idea, I'll never know. But I do rely on it a great deal to get my online discounts, when the one store I want to have an online sale doesn't send me an e-mail the one week I want to get something there.

IKEA!!!

I can hardly wait! The new IKEA opens on March 12th. Woo hoo! Of course, I will avoid that area like the plague for a few weeks, at least. The pictures I've seen of opening days at other IKEAs make Black Fridays at malls look like normal shopping days. I really, really need a dining room table, some new tall bookcases, and I'm also looking for a platform bed frame (or wrought iron, can't decide). Platform beds just look so "clean" to me...I can't describe it any other way. It's modern, but not too modern, you know? I think I might use that rebate check we're supposed to get in May for some home furnishings. Why does it have to be May??? Can I wait that long? We'll see.

Valentine's Day Coming Right Up!

With Valentine's Day coming up, I'm always on the lookout for different flower/gift sites other than 1-800-Flowers or FTD.com, as they don't always have what I need. The latest one I've found is called dot flowers (or dotflowers.com). What I like is that they're not just limited to flowers. They have gift baskets galore, including gourmet food. That's perfect for me, as I feel odd sending flowers to my SO. But, sending a gift basket of gourmet chocolates would be the perfect surprise for him at work, in my opinion. Now, if I did want to send flowers, they do same day delivery, but I doubt I'll do that. Although, I like some of the flower arrangements so much that I might end up sending something to myself one of these days, just for the heck of it. :)

Coupons Galore

Disclaimer: This is a paid post for PayPerPost.com.

Now that the holiday shopping season is pretty much over, I'm now scouring the Internet for deals, coupons, etc. as prices tend to plummet after Christmas. I love all of the coupon code sites out there, like this site has for Target coupons. If you're looking for a coupon code CouponChief.com has a ton of coupon code links to online stores like Apple, Dell, Staples, etc. So, it looks like yet another site will be going in my bookmarks!
