Virginia – August 7, 8, 9 is Sales Tax Holiday

Baby, general, Shopping deals, Uncategorized
Reminder starting tomorrow! Virginia is one of the states that offers a Sales Tax Holiday for the first weekend in August.  That is a 5% discount! For those that don't have kids or have little tots, this holiday is a great time to buy items like underwear, socks, t-shirts, and sneakers.  It is also a good time to buy craft supplies for the younger kids like paint, paper, and markers.  Start thinking about Christmas gifts! The best part I found out is diapers, baby items and even wedding dresses ($100 or less) are included!! See list below. August Sales Tax Holiday: School Supplies and Clothing When: First weekend of August (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) each year. The 2009 holiday will take place on August 7, 8, and 9, 2009. What's…

Staples Shopping Trip 8/2/2009

Coupons, Shopping Trips, Staples, Uncategorized
I decided to go into Staples today to get the paper deal that I mentioned before.  Click HERE to read my earlier post. Unfortunately, my Staples doesn't accept competitors coupons like Office Depot.  Big Bummer!   Click HERE to see a forum post about this and more about Office Depot at fatwallet.com. The FW MODs can verify this with Staples corporate: 1. Staples never had an official policy on their site or anywhere else stating they would accept all Office Depot coupons. They DID have a brief promotion posted on their site stating they would accept Office Depot in-sore coupons and store credits in areas where Office Depot was closing all their stores but that promotion ended months ago. 2. Staples DOES have an official corproate policy stating they will NOT…

Update: Red Plum Coupons in Washington Post

Coupons, Newspapers, Uncategorized
Well, I haven't confirmed 100% but it looks like as of last weekend (7/26/09) that Washington Post will be carrying the Red Plum coupons again.  I didn't get the Red Plum coupons in my Red Plum mailer on Monday, 7/27/09. Per my earlier post, click HERE to read it, I mentioned the Red Plum web site that allows you to search your location to find the Red Plum coupons.  This morning on my way to work I found the Washington El Tiempo Latino newsstand (Note this is FREE!) and to my excitement it has the Red Plum coupons!  It looked different then the ones from Sunday's paper and I looked at the date and it is for this weekend (8/2/09)!  Woohoo! It didn't include other coupons like SmartSource or P&G.…
