Great Tips From Reader John

I love it when my readers send me great ideas. Keep ‘em coming! So thanks to reader John for not just one great tip, but two:

We took part in the Toys R Us Cash-For-Clunkers program this weekend. We turned in an older stroller that my wife detests and got a 20% in-store rebate. We ended up buying a nice double stroller for the girls (which we were going to buy anyway, rebate or not). The most current Babies R Us mailer sent also included a coupon for 15% off another item. All told we saved just under $50.00. Very nice!

Also, I’d like to give a quick shout-out to Retailmenot. I am consistently finding quick and easy ways to save a buck, be it on rental cars, electronics, or diapers. This weekend I saved $20.00 on the purchase of a car stereo at Crutchfield just by searching through retailmenot’s coupon listing. [I should mention here that my daughter’s kindermusik CD has been stuck in my stereo for almost 6 months. Recession or not, you can only go some much time listening to the Kindermusik Hello Song before any deal for a new CD player is a good one!]

Thanks again, John. Happy shopping, everyone.

If no charity is selected, then one will be selected for you. By shopping with them, you help to support the following three non profit organizations: Kiva, Nourish America, and First Book.
