Win a $200 Visa Gift Card from RetailMeNot.ca!
Wednesday, December 16, 2015
As much as I am looking forward to Christmas vacation next week, there is still so much to do beyond shopping for gifts. There are decorations I'd like to put out, Christmas cards to mail and a house that needs to be cleaned before I can even fathom hosting guests. Since the holiday season can easily eat away at hard-earned savings, I have taken on a challenge to use RetailMeNot.ca to find potential deals and promo codes for non-gift related purchases. Think travel, entertaining and purchases for the home. Right off the bat, I noticed a hot deal - Save up to 50% off plus save an extra 15% off $100 at Sears.
While browsing through their Bed & Bath department, I came across MaryJane's Home Organic Cotton Blanket. This will come in handy when we welcome overnight guests as we so often do for New Year's. I ordered a queen size blanket in sage which will fit our inflatable mattress perfectly. It was on sale at 40% off.
Next, I skimmed through their Kitchen department and came across an incredible deal - $250 off Kenmore/MD 9pc. Cookware Set Fusion Stainless Steel. I have been looking to replace some pieces from our original cookware set that have seen better days. I can't help but feel a little embarrassed to use these pieces when we have dinner guests so I was going to replace them individually. But this set was on sale for over 70% off, I just couldn't pass it up.
Given a budget of $250, I thought I would check out their luggage sale since we are planning an overnight trip and I have been crushing on Heys Hardside Luggage for the longest time. Well, wouldn't you know. Their fun "Fiesta" collection was on sale for not 50% but 75% off! I had just enough left in my budget to pick up a 30" upright that I'll be able to spot from a mile away.
Now, thanks to RetailMeNot Canada, I was able to take advantage of an additional 15% savings using a special promo code. Unfortunately, luggage is exempt from the promotion. Otherwise I would have been able to save 20% since I spent over $200. At any rate, I did manage to rack up quite the savings.
