Saving on Birthday Presents and Cat Food

You're birthday only comes once a year and I believe it should be celebrated with gifts and cake. My friend's birthday is coming up and I wanted to get her a little something to let her know how special she is to me. Of course, I wanted to do this on a budget. I purchased gift wrapping paper, a candle set and a Bar sign that's a wine bottle holder all for $7.60.

Kohl's send a coupon the mail once a month. The coupons range from 15%, 20% or 30%. This month I only got a 20% coupon, that is what I used for this transaction. Every few weeks Kohl's offers $10 Kohl's when you make a purchase of $50 or more. Plus I received a $10 off savings pass in the mail which I used for this purchase. The purchase came up to $7.60 with a $96.80 savings.

That was my best purchase of the day. I still got a little savings at Target for cat food and birthday card. My total savings at Target was $1.50.

My total savings for the day was $98.30. That made me so happy! Hope this is inspirational and you get your happy savings behind in gear to get you an almost $100 savings for a day of shopping.

Happy Savings,
Melissa
