KitchenAide Mixer

Hi all it has been a long time.  I have missed you, but I have still been saving money.  Christmas came and everyone spent and spent and spent...But, I got the best bargain ever.  I have recently started making cakes.  I love it and I have been making a few extra dollars too.  What does every baker need?  A Kitchenaide Mixer, yep that is correct.  But, wait they are EXPENSIVE!! Yes, they are they range from $199- $999.  So, I waited and watched and waited and watched : ) and finally it happened.  Amazon.com had a 600 series, yes 600 series Kitchenaide suggested retail price $499 on sale for $279. I thought INCREDIBLE, but wait there was a $50 rebate. Wonderful right? Right, but wait FREE shipping..OK now we're talking.  Hold on there is more, during checkout there was a banner about American Express Points...hmmm I have those : ).  That is right, I had $120 dollars worth of American Express points.  Did you do the math:

$279.00
-50
______
$229.00
_ shipping ( which was equivalent to the tax)
______
$229.00
-120
______
$109.00

That's right I paid $109.00 for a $500 item which is known to last for 30 + years or more....

Total Cost .....PRICELESS

Coupons are they worth the time?

Are coupons worth the time you spend clipping and organizing? The answer is yes!!! I have saved offer $100.00 in the last 3 weeks alone. I even garnered FREE wipes because my coupon value exceeded the cost of the item. I also received FREE food at Panda Express and a FREE cupcake at CAKELOVE BAKERY for my Birthday. Did you know that they just give away FREE $4.00 cupcakes on your birthday. And they aren't the only companies that do these things, but of course they are not going to yell out on the rooftop about these DEALS. That is where I a come in I will scan the net and weekly circulars to tell you where you can save MONEY.

Start off by clicking the link at the bottom of the pages for http://www.coupons.com/ they offer FREE coupons (yes that means you don't have to buy the paper) to a VAST number of companies and stores nationwide. So come along for my money saving tips.

Happy Shopping
