apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

just take the name of the store you want, add "coupons" on the name, and google it.

for example

"moma coupon"

i do this for every store i shop at. Not only will you find online coupons but you can get good printable ones as well. Retail Me Not is a good source, but i try a bunch, sometimes only one site will have a promo that the others don't.

I got 20% off at moma this past weekend. Macy's coupons that saved me a good $30 or $40, Express ones for my wife and she saved around $30 on some clothes. Lots of other things. I'll be using one for Altrec tonight for outdoor gear. Not only can you get coupons for just money off but sometimes you can stack free shipping, or you might just get free shipping in general, that can save you a bundle.

Any site you shop out check for coupons, even obscure ones will have them, like moma, never though i would find one from there.

If you're shopping on Amazon, try their free 30 day amazon prime trial. You get free 2 day shipping on everything they have with no minimum purchase. Quick way to save a bunch on shipping, have the security of Amazon, and get it fast. You just cancel before the 30 days is up.

I always google "free shipping code" the name of the store i'm shopping at, more often than not you find promotions codes that work!

Where could I find that cute red filing cabinet in the picture for this post?

Somebody's kitty scratches the red chair for attention!

and don't forget ebates.com. they give you cash back for any purchases. i've gotten back a good deal of money throughout the years.

smorgenstern -- i thinks its the helmer from ikea....but I could be wrong

I recognized the apartment; I love her home design!

I've been shopping online more this holiday season than ever. Online, I know if something is in stock or not (and don't have to run to 5 bookstores all over Houston) and there are no lines. Most websites have free shipping if you order over $25, so I've been taking advantage of that. Just pay close attention and make sure you are getting the free shipping (read the directions), because they do not automatically mark that option when you are paying.

moni-ka in ky, I'm pretty sure you're right that it's from Ikea.

Along with searching for discount/promotion/shipping codes most credit card providers have shopping portals if you click through from your cards website they'll offer free shipping sometimes and extra rewards points.

the helmer doesn't have the lock on it and it also has little name card slots by the handles which i'm not seeing in this photo... there is a helmer right behind me, so i have a good reference.

I think the older version of the helmer did have the lock. The new ones do not.

I use online for most of my research and only buy online when I cannot see it in person because my initial reaction of seeing things at IKEA, CB2 and the like are always, "oh." with an emphasis on the period. Just remember things photograph better than they appear. Always do your research: read reviews & price shop.

jmorey, this was the exact thing I did before heading out to the stores on Saturday.

I was able to score really nice gifts for family using 10% - 30% off printable coupons on sale prices.

also, try

cheapstingybargains.com

i love this site and have been going here for years now. Not only does he post coupons to great places, but also just links to certain things that are on sale, as well as freebies. A lot of the freebies are just so-so, but there are gems in there. I get tons of razors for free from here. Schick and Gillette. You know that new one for guys that has batteries, and the actual metal beard trimmer on the other end, yeah free...

You can also search that site. I'll find things i am just looking for pop up and i'll get them cheap. Guitar hero for the wii $70 instead of $100 BAM, ram for my computer, BAM, it's great.

When i got my new tv from Best Buy a little searching found a great coupon and i got a $50 gift card for free with it.

Oh, my office! Yes, that's the IKEA Helmer (an old one).

I had to spend a lot on shipping last year, so, this year, I decided to buy online to take advantage of free shipping. The problem is, at least on Amazon, gift wrap can be twice as expensive as shipping. Just something to keep in mind.

retailmenot.com

the single best coupon store. Complete with accuracy ratings so you don't have to guess if it will work or not.

Coke and ice cream for breakfast, huh? ;)

I have presents shipped directly to my mom's house (where I celebrate Christmas). I bring gift bags and tissue paper for quick wrapping once I get there. (No extra effort hauling presents around or worrying that they'll be stolen from my apartment entryway)

Don't pay for shipping! So many places offer free 'shipping' coupons online or special offers by email. Or avoid the stores that have high shipping fees altogether (Crate & Barrel, we are SO over).

I'm all about the shopping portals that provide cash (or points back). I just learned about a great site http://www.evreward.com/ that shows you the cash or points options for almost any shopping site plus a few coupons. No more clicking from fatwallet to ebates to live.com to see which has the best cash back deal.

mypoints.com does that too.
