multiple discounts: Omaha Steaks

A recent example of multiple discounts is a recent purchase at Omaha Steaks. MyPoints sent me an email for a special offer at Omaha Steaks, the offer was for 191 dollars of product for 59.99.

added free product: 6 burgers $21.oo
added free product: knife set and cutting board $20.00

cashed in points at mypoints for gift certificate for 30 dollars
used link to get 200 points (will probably have to follow up on this)

total value= $122 cost=$29.99 plus $13.99 shipping

It arrived within days in a reuseable ice chest which we will use when go camping.
Realistically this was 12 pounds of food for 44 dollars including the shipping, roughly 4 bucks a pound. but still it is quality products, well packaged for the freezer and for taking to the bluegrass festival.

Las Vegas deals, save your money for the gambling!

I have received a newsletter for the last few years from someone who only identifies himself as Billhere. There are two different emails he sends out on a regular basis, one is a rundown of what is going on in Vegas such as the shows, the new restaraunts, the special events, etc. The other regular email he sends out is a rundown of coupons available, i.e. two for one specials, buffets, shows, gaming deals, car rentals, souvenirs, just about everything.

At the website you can view coupons (and order them) view the calendar, order show tickets and sign up for the mailing list.

Best buys on books

I am addicted to Book Closeouts. I even used them for stocking the School Library. There are always lots of books at discounts of 50-90 percent.

I have a discount code for the site that can be used multiple times, at the bottom of the shopping cart page enter: Coupon Number = happycoupons Coupon Password=bookcloseouts
This coupon is good for $5 off of a $35 purchase.

I do have an affiliate link to the site and it earns me free books. Works well for gifts and ties in with BookCrossing, when I let books go in the wild.

Always get free shipping at Amazon.com

To get the free shipping with the 25 dollar minimum for free shipping, you need to do three things;
1. items must be eligible, they will list free super saver shipping in th item description
2. the total must be at least 25 dollars in your cart of ONLY eligible items, they will charge shipping for other items
3. the items need to all ship together

if you need some cheap items to fill out your basket try my amazon listmania list of 'free or almost free stuff'. Or you can always just get something off of my wish list.

Ebay acquisition

MyPoints - Best Site to collect points

I have been a member of MyPoints since 1999. The site offers points two ways, by reading emails and clicking thru to the advertised site (usually shopping or services), or by shopping thru the website. In the years I have used MyPoints I have earned most of my points by the email click through method. The shopping is mostly during the christmas season or when special bonus points are offered. If you shop regularly at certain sites like Overstock this site will give you back 10 points per dollar, roughly a penny a point.

If you email me and I send you an email through the site I earn 100 points.
