Get Your FitBit Flex for $21.97!

Here is a picture of the 4 FitBit Flex products my son and I picked up this week from Target.  This was a price match from the gamestop app.  Many of my friends and family are interested in getting these, so I am going to give a step by step tutorial.  For those of you that are seasoned couponers, please bear with me.  ;)

Take the following steps to get your FitBit:

1.  The first thing you need to do is download the gamestop app to your phone or tablet.  (This price does not come up on the gamestop.com site.)

2.  Do a search for the FitBit Flex Black.  Click on the link and it will bring you to the image you see on your right.  Take a screenshot in case you lose the signal in the store.

3.  Go to the electronics dept at your local Target, Best Buy or Staples and tell  the associate you would like to price match the FitBit Flex from the gamestop app.  They will ask to see your phone.  Chances are you will need to close the app and show them how you opened the app, searched the product and show them the price.  Some associates are tech savvy, but some are not.  You also have the occasional doubting Thomas and can't believe there is such a huge price difference.  Don't try to explain any of this.  You don't need to.  They have to price match the product.  You may want to print the price match policy from the website because some employees are not aware of them.  I shop on a daily basis in the same stores and still come across employees and managers that don't know their own stores policy.

4.  To save an additional 5% off your purchase at Target, you can use your red card.  Signing up is easy.  It took me minutes at the register to complete the easy steps.

By the way, the usually only price match the exact product in the image.  We were expecting to purchase 4 black ones.  They only had 2 and the associate gave us the other 2 colors.  Do not expect them to bend the rules.  Your associate or manager may allow a different color or deny you.  It is solely up to their discretion.  Remember, a smile and pleasant attitude can go a long way. ;)

If you decide to price match at Staples or Best Buy, don't forget to use your loyalty cards to maximize your savings!

Happy Shopping!

Walmart Haul Oct. 20, 2015

This is the first of several Walmart transactions for this week.  This haul combined price matching and couponing.

There are coupons from last week's inserts and helped make this transaction a whopping $2.03. The Schick Extreme 3 coupon is for $4, but you can price match the razors from Amazon.com for $1.76.  That gives you overage that can be applied toward your total purchase.  I had 8 coupons as well as 3 coupons for the BIC razors that gave me a total of $42. in overage.  The Huggies diapers were price matched to the Walmart.com app for $2 each bag. I used a coupon for $4/2.

The haul also included a Bob Evan's mac and cheese, a 4 lb bag of Tilapia and a bag of Shrimp (medium size).  You can use your overage to buy anything you want.  I just wanted to restock my freezer for my little pescatarian.

Hope this breakdown helps you save some $$$.  Happy shopping!

Walmart Haul: Price Matching and Couponing

Walmart is now one of my favorite stores.  Thanks to my friend Kim, I learned how to price match.  When you price match and use coupons, you end up getting money back that you can either get back on a gift card, receive in cash or apply towards your order.

The Garnier pictured is currently on clearance for $1.  Use a $1 coupon to get it for free!  The Colgate mouthwash was price matched from Walgreen's ad for $1.49.  Use a $2 coupon and get back .51 cents per bottle.  Buy the 2 pk of BIC silky touch razors for .97 cents.  Use a $2 coupon and get back $1.03 in overage. 

I don't know about you, but I love to get free stuff and get paid to take it out of the store!  ;)

Happy shopping!
