ADVERTISEMENTS

 

In the interest of research, I decided to do some online shopping with coupon codes just to demonstrate to those who are reading this report just what is out there for those who go looking for bargains. I needed a gift for a friend, so I went to this web site –

 

www.currentcodes.com

 

and found several coupon codes for FragranceNet.com. I decided to use the following codes, and I planned to try and stack them.

 

• LSJ30 - $10 Off All Orders Over $60

• LSBTS – Free US Shipping On All Orders

 

I went to the web site, which by the way is one of the best places online to buy both women’s and men’s fragrances. Discounts of up to 70% off the regular retail price are the norm here, and these are the genuine brands, just like what you find at department stores – no imitations! I noticed that a free gift was available with any purchase – a cute compact mirror. This happens quite a bit on the various retail web sites. So what if it has an advertisement for the web site on it? A freebie is a freebie!

 

It was no trouble for me to quickly select over $60 worth of products. My choices were-

 

• Diamonds and Emeralds Gift Set by Elizabeth Taylor Retail Price $65 – FragranceNet’s price $28.79

• Diamonds and Emeralds Shower Gel Retail Price $27.50 – FragranceNet’s price $12.29

• Red Door by Elizabeth Arden Body Powder Retail Price $24.50 – FragranceNet’s price $13.79

• Red Door by Elizabeth Arden Shower Gel Retail Price $25.00 – FragranceNet’s price $14.79

 

I then went to my online shopping bag. My subtotal was $61.16. I entered the coupon code for free shipping in the box, and clicked the “Apply” button.

 

Then, I entered the code for $10.00 off all orders over $60. Yes, even though my order was just $1.16 over, I am still eligible to use this code.

 

My subtotal was now $51.16. I did not have to pay sales tax, as there is no FragranceNet store in the city where I live. So, I got a retail value of $142.00 worth of perfume and bath items for $51.16!

 

My friend is going to think I am very generous. Everyone who buys perfume knows how much it costs at regular prices, yet no one has to know that you are a smart shopper and are able to buy it at such a great discount… unless you want to let them in on your secret!

 

See how much fun it is to shop online with coupon codes?

 

I think just a little more research is necessary for you, dear reader, to see how simple this is and how much money you can save. Besides – a little retail therapy never hurt anyone!

 

Back to currentcodes.com to select another code. My next web stop is a site you have probably heard of called Amazon.com. Amazon is a wonderful place to shop online, as they have a little of everything for sale – even food!

 

There is a Kellogg’s promotion going on where you buy $49 or more of Kellogg’s, Keebler, Cheez-It, Carrs, Famous Amos, and Worthington Loma Linda products, and get $20 off and free shipping with the coupon code KELLOGG1.

 

This is an excellent deal – have you noticed the price of one box of cereal at the grocery store lately? Smart coupon shoppers have known for years that you should stock up when the price is right – and when you have a good coupon!

 

Here are my selections –

 

• Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts Frosted Hot Fudge Sundae – 14.7 ounce box, each containing 8 Pop-Tarts – Case of 12 boxes – $23.55 This is a super, super price even without the additional savings of the coupon code – less than $2.00 a box!

• Kellogg’s Favorite Assortment – 96 Single-Serving Bowls of 7 different cereals – Cocoa Krispies, Raisin Bran, Apple Jacks, Froot Loops, Frosted Flakes, Corn Pops, and Frosted Mini Wheats – $39.17 Another super price even without the coupon code! Cereal @ .35 cents a bowl with no waste!

 

Subtotal of this order is $62.72. After the $20 coupon code was applied, my total is $42.72 with free shipping and no sales tax. That’s a lot of food for the money!

 

My next stop is to check out a coupon code that appeared in an email from daleandthomaspopcorn.com. This is absolutely the best popcorn, and one of Oprah’s “Favorite Things”. The coupon code I received is NANNY7 for $20 off of any purchase.

 

A quick scan of the web site shows a six-pack popcorn variety pack which contains six foot long bags of assorted flavors of gourmet popcorn for $28.00. After the coupon code was applied, the price came down to $8.00. Shipping was $7.95… no code for free shipping this time, darn it! $15.95 for this quantity of gourmet popcorn is still an excellent deal, though!

 

My last stop was at Macys.com, where I found a beautiful Jones New York Sweater, retail price $159.99, sale price $29.99. Shipping was 99 cents with the coupon code 99CENTS. This will be another great gift for a family member.

 

Isn’t it amazing how much you can save shopping online with coupon codes?
