Check out the site for more deals

My Megacool New York and Company deal! 8/16

Ok, so I just had to share how awesome the New York and Company  deal is right now!  I was in dire need of some clothes to start the school year (since I’m a teacher, and I know many of you are, too!), and I had the coupon I talked about in this post  to use….so, I perused the sale section and ended up spending $113 out of pocket, BUT I saved over $245!!!  Yippeee!!!  For this price, I got two skirts, three pairs of dress pants, one cardigan, and one sleeveless suit jacket.  Keep in mind, this is all for work, so it is good quality and classy.  AND, to top it off, for every $30 I spent in the store I got $15 City Cash back!  So, I ended up getting $60 in City Cash back (to be used on future purchases)!  What a megacool deal!  Hurry in to your New York and Company to see if you can get an awesome deal, too!  Happy shopping!

 

And, I can save another 15% on my next shopping visit by taking the survey on receipt!

New York & Company $70 off of $150 purchase or $30 off of $75 and FREE Shipping online 8/8

New York and Company is a great place to go for Back to School shopping for yourself (especially if you need new “teaching clothes” like I do!).  Use promo code 6388 to get $75 off of $150 OR 6461 to get $30 off of $75.  Also, use promo code 6524 to get FREE shipping on orders of $75 or more!  If you didn’t get the actual coupon in the mail (like I did), and don’t like shopping online because you can’t try on the clothes, here’s an idea:   Go to the store, try on the clothes, take note of (or pics on your phone of) the clothes you liked, and then go home and order them online to get the discount! 

Happy Shopping!

Good deals on soccer stuff (boys and girls), Swagbucks & Gap discount! 8/4

Soccer stuff

I know a lot of us Megacoolmamas have our kids in sports, and soccer seems to be one of the most popular sports for little ones in my area.  If one of your little ones plays soccer, you may want to check out Totsy  and see what they have!  I was just looking and found THE CUTEST designed soccer balls, shin guards, backpacks and soccer cleats for kids! 

For example, I found this soccer ball for a little girl that originally retails for $17.50, and it is priced at 10.50 on Totsy

 

I also found this one for little boys at the same price!

 

 

They also have mini trainer versions of the same soccer balls priced for $6 and shin guards with cute designs for $6.50!

This would be a great opportunity to stock up on Christmas gifts for all the little soccer players in your family…don’t forget to look around for yourself while you are there!  :) You can sign up for a Totsy account here!

 

Swagbucks…right now Swagbucks is offering 250 Swagbucks when you shop through them at Gap online.  Even better, you get 30% off your order of $29 or more before shipping and taxes!  Woohoo!  If you don’t know what Swagbucks is, it’s a search engine (just like Google) that actually “pays you back” for searching!  You earn “Swagbucks” every time you do a search through them, and then you can trade them in for things like Amazon gift cards once your balance hits a certain amount.  Occasionally, they have deals like the Gap one I described above that I like to take advantage of as well, so, just thought I would share!  You can sign up for an account with Swagbucks here!

Stay tuned for more deals later on today!  :)
