Michaels Madness

 For all of you DIY brides, I just found this coupon during my trip to Michaels today.  It valid for tomorrow (Sunday, June 30) only for 40% off your ENTIRE purchase.  They just had them sitting on the check-out counter.  I don't know if all stores will have the coupon or if will be in the paper tomorrow etc.  Just in case you're not able to find it, feel free to print off the one below.

Time to get my list together.  Happy Sunday and Happy shopping!

Men's Wearhouse

Last weekend my fiance and I went over to our local Mens Wearhouse to get everything set up for tux rentals.  Without looking at prices ahead of time and comparing different retailers we went with them because my bridesmaids dresses are from David's Bridal.  Since the two stores are tied to one another, I decided that this was the easiest way to ensure the wedding party guys and gals all matched.

So far we have a had an awesome experience with them - two thumbs up!  We went in without an appointment and were seen almost immediately (on a Saturday)!  We were in and out in under 1 1/2  hours and going in we had no idea what we wanted at all.

And the best part - the prices.  As long as you have at least 5 other people that will be renting tuxes then the groom can get his for free.  And the tux rentals for the guys (with their everyday $30 off sale) were only $131.

Yesterday I received an email promotion for $40 off each rental AND a $50 restaurant.com gift certificate for the two of us.  Even though the coupon said it had to be used at the time of booking, I called up and asked if I could still use it.  They said that it wouldn't be a problem at all to use it.  The only issue is that we already got $30 and they couldn't be combined, so it would only take another $10 off.  Long story short, the fiance gets his tux for free, the guys rentals are only $121, and we get a $50 gift certificate.

Save the Dates - Great Deal

We have officially purchased our Save the Dates.  

Staples currently has a 40% off of custom prints offer, PLUS 6.5% cash back through EBates, PLUS if you buy 250 colored prints you get another 250 free.

So, that means you can get 500 colored cards for around $80 including tax. And you get free shipping (cards arrive in 7 business days). What a steal.

I opted out of the colored prints (we wanted black and white) and got 250 prints for $65.

In case you don't know, EBates is a free way to earn cash back. You create an account (which automatically earns you $5) and then you earn a certain percent back on on-line orders (this varies by store and changes throughout the year).

If you're not already a member and want to sign-up I would appreciate if you use the link below (everytime someone uses your link to sign-up you earn another $5). It's a great site and everything adds up. And then every so often (I believe every 3 months) the site just sends you a check for the amount that you've earned.

Anyways, once you have your account set up (or if you already have one) just type in Staples Copy and Print into the search bar (you will see a 6.5% next to it), CLICK on this. On this new page you will see various coupons/coupon codes. The top one says 40% off custom prints (exp. 10/31/12). Click on the corresponding button that says shop now and you will be taken to the staples web-site. Start your oder and you will automatically get the 40% off and 6.5% added to your EBates account.

Again, here's my EBates link. Click on it to start an account (plus you'll earn $5 for yourself and $5 for me). Start saving today!
