Kohl's sticker offers $10 off $20 purchase

bath%20rug.jpgDon't throw that Kohl's sticker away on the front of the Sun Sentinel today. You'll be throwing away money!

With the sticker, Kohl's is offering $10 off a purchase of $20 or more on anything in the store, from Feb. 10-20.

I was just at Kohl's over the weekend and bought 2-for-1 pillows at $19.99 total for arriving family. Now I'm going back with my sticker -- too good to pass up. Maybe this fun polka-dot bath decor. -- Marcia "Bargain Hunter" Pounds

Coupon Chaos: Enter your best savings tips here

coupons1.JPGIt's Coupon Chaos time again. Enter you best tips of the week, and lets help each other be good strategic shoppers!

My best suggestion this week: I have the J C Penney's flyer taped to my cubicle wall so I don't forget. On February 12th, 3pm-close, and 13th, 9am-1pm, certain styling products will be 50% off. My old standby, Paul Mitchell, is included in this sale. There's a $10 off $40 coupon in that ad from last Sunday's paper, so I'll stock up.

Where are the best deals this week?

Printable coupon: $1 off Starbucks Frappucino

starbucks-logo.jpg
Does anyone else miss the days when Starbucks was promoting their bottled coffee drinks! Remember when we had the $1 off coupons in the Sunday inserts? I haven't had my afternoon Frappucino in months, since those coupons ran out! I miss them.

They have a promotion right now...go to the Frappucino website and tell them your favorite flavor, then you can print a $1 off coupon. Then use it when Walgreens has them on sale for $1.25 each. One bottle? Just enough to tease us?

Click here for Frappucino website to print coupon.

We had a lot of coupons expire at the end of January, so we need to get familiar with the new ones. I left a pile of expiring P&G inserts with some store clerks last week. I hope they could use them. What do you do with expiring coupons?

Where are the best deals this week?

Avoid rings on Valentine's Day

floral%20bracelet.jpgGuys, unless you're giving a diamond and proposing, it's best to avoid rings on Valentine's Day, advises Amanda Levison, jewelry designer with AJ Designs in Fort Lauderdale. "It will only lead to disappointment on this day," says Amanda on her Web site, AJ Designs

I like this floral bracelet from Amanda's designs.

Of course, whatever you give, even a card, is meaningful if given in the right spirit and by the right person. Now what do you give a guy? That's the real challenge. -- Marcia "Bargain Hunter" Pounds

Albertsons closing 8 stores in Florida

Andrea posted that her Boca Raton Albertsons was closing, and today CJ posted that there are big mark-downs at the Pembroke Pines store.

Panicked that my Oakland Park store was next, I made a quick call to Albertsons customer service. Yes, it was confirmed that the following stores were underperforming and are being closed: Boca, Pines, Lake Worth, Delray Beach, and Royal Palm Beach. They will be liquidating stock. Staying open: Key West, Oakland Park, Pt St Lucie and Vero Beach.

Discounts vary by department, starting at 10%, with 33% off on wine, up to 70% off on greeting cards. It might be worth a trip for you bargain hunters.

I'm sorry if you are losing your local store, more stores give us more sales, better strategic shopping opportunities. Click here for store locator.
