.Double Check for Bargins...scan scan scan!.

I hope everyone had a Happy Mother's Day! As those who have been reading and keep up with my blog you may have noticed that I won't post on weekends ^.^ I have been really busy with the Holiday and my moms birthday. Anyways over the weekend shopping I was thinking of some quick tips to help you save. When you are shopping for something imparticular always look at the clearance first. You may find what you are looking for there, it could be marked down for many reason such as a brands new collection just came out or they have updated a product, and also stores could be overstocked and need to make room. For example this weekend at Kohl's I was looking in the clearance home area. They had really cute Frog mitt washcloths for kids( or your avid frog collector) the price was originally $7.99, it was on clearance for $3.00. However on the very next isle they were selling same brand almost identical frog mitt washcloths that had been updated with new stitching with froggy flippers that was selling for $7.99. It pays to look around. Also use the scanner....scan scan scan! I can only tell you how many times at stores from Target to Kohl's(to well any other store with a price check scanner) that the sales tag/clearance tag on the product has been wrong! Either things are marked too high due to the price not being changed, but most often they wont update the sale/clearance tag. This weekend so many thing I bought had tags that were just that, not updated but scanned a cheaper price. Flip-flops originally $20.00 sales tag $13.99, it rang up for $1.80!!!!Simply Vera Wang clutch originally $60.00 sales tag $17.98,scan price $5.25! Simply Vera Purse Originally $90.00, no sales tag however it was in clearance area because it was from last season. Price check showed it was on sale for $15.00!
So go out there get sales, check the clearance, and scan those items! Also make sure the price shown on the item either on display or in the sales ad is the price that rings up. If not ask for a price change, most places will be happy to change it. Oh and double check a stores policy regarding price matching at other stores, they will meet or beat the price, and people don't forget about the almighty rain check, don't have what you want and its on sale see if you can get one! ^.^
