How I Saved Forty Percent at Macy's
I don't hunt out coupons, but I was really glad I did the work last week.
I was headed to Macy's to purchase a birthday gift for a friend. I researched the gift online first, and really liked a man's jewlery box (yes, they make such a thing) that was $49 with tax. Luckily, just as I was about to leave, I remembered to google "Macy's" and "coupon", and found a printable 10% off coupon for that weekend.
When I went to the store, I found a comparable but larger item, regularly $44 with tax. It was on sale for 30% off. I used my 10% coupon, and got the whole thing for $26 and change. I'm totally ecstatic, because I expected to spend $45, and got something BETTER for $26!
It ended up being cheaper AND faster to look around online, than it would have been if I'd just wandered around Macy's.
Side note: I knew he needed the box when I saw numerous cuff links, a couple watches, his wallet, and a money clip in his sock drawer... and in total disarray. I told him it was an "organizer", and, p.s., he loved it.
