Macy’s Sales to Check Out!

August 17, 2015 · by Tiffany Merritt · Leave a Comment

Thanks to ShopAtHome.com and Macy’s for partnering with me on today’s post about back-to-school deals. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Affiliate links included.

I think one of the most exciting things I got to do all summer was to visit (and of course, shop at) the iconic Macy’s at Herald Square in NYC. You know, THE Macy’s! The flagship store. The eipcenter of the televised parade each year. Yes, that Macy’s.

Did you know they still use their original wooden escalators? They do!! Here’s a pic I took to prove it!

Thanks to the internet, though, you don’t have to take a flight over to NYC in order to enjoy the great savings Macy’s is currently offering, right in time for all those back-to-school needs (we just discovered this morning, for example, that our youngest is outgrowing her shoes and needs a new pair NOW!).

From now through the 19th of August, you can enjoy 20% off with code BTS at checkout. That same promotion is going to run again 8/23-8/25, just FYI.

Don’t forget to go through ShopatHome.com to snag an additional 5% cash back, too! I love sweetening the pot with my online shopping deals by going through this completely free website (it’s actually better than free because you earn money back when you use it!). They have a comprehensive list of sales and coupon offers, and they give you an additional percentage back on top of what you are already going to save.

That wooden elevator was pretty darn cool, but ShopatHome.com makes staying put totally worthwhile, don’t you think? 🙂

Here’s what I’ve picked out for today’s sale:

These Carter’s shoes are on sale for $25.99 and then I’ll get 20% off that, and then another 5% cash back from ShopatHome.com!

And Carter’s also has these animal print pants on sale for $8.99 (plus 20% off, but 5% back!). Can’t beat that, friends!

Check out the Macy’s sale today an see what great buys you can scoop up for the school year!

The Best Back-to-School Finds from Sears

August 13, 2015 · by Tiffany Merritt · Leave a Comment

Thanks to ShopAtHome.com and Sears for partnering with me on today’s post about back-to-school deals. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Affiliate links included.

One of my favorite things to find on a website that sells clothing is outfit inspiration, or total looks that I can browse. I’m slightly trend-challenged when left to my own devices. But the downside of using these types of tools is that these trendy looks are almost always the newest merchandise, being offered at full price.

This is NOT the case at Sears! I have been browsing some of their top looks for boys, girls (and maybe even for me) and I’m finding lots of stuff 50% off! Sears is actually offering back-to-school looks, including some great new merchandise for fall, at up to 50% off. I want to show you some of my favorite pieces!

Runway Glam

From the Runway Glam collection, this pink moto jacket is my favorite! It’s a great layering piece for fall weather, when it’s chilly in the morning but warm by the afternoon, and the price is SO right, at just $14.99 (regularly $32)

Gym Class Heros

While I’m not doing any shopping for boys, you might be! So check out this look:

I love that heather gray with the black piping! And once again, the price tag is something any parent will appreciate: $13.99 (down from $28). I also saw another cute jacket that was just $7.99 down from $40, so you can find deals at Sears right now that are even better than 50% off and still right for fall!

Something for Mom

Since the prices are so good, don’t feel bad about taking a moment to look around for yourself, mama! I headed straight to the ’70s Boho inspiration page, as that’s one of my favorite looks, and I spotted this:

Y’all I live in my leggings, so I’m always looking for stuff that will cover my rear end so that I can keep wearing them outside of the house. Isn’t this floral top cute? So perfect for early fall here in Tennessee, where it’s still usually warm until the end of September. It’s on sale right now for $19.99, regularly $42.

How to Sweeten the Deal

There are a few strategies you should use to make your Sears shopping an even better deal! First, try coupon code SCHOOLCOOL and you’ll get an extra 20% off your purchae over $50!

Second, be sure to shop through the ShopatHome.com link. Shop at Home is a totally free service you can sign up for that will give you CASH back for doing what you are already doing: shopping online. You will find an extensive selection of coupons and cash rebate offers there (so if SCHOOLCOOL is no longer working, just check out the ShopatHome.com list of available coupon codes, as they keep things up to date!).

Additionally, ShopatHome.com offers you an extra percentage off which you will get back in the form of cash (well, technically a check). Usually they offer an extra 6% off at Sears, but in celebration of back-to-school time, they have bumped it up to 8% back. So if you spend $100 at Sears, you can get $8 of that back in cash just by going through ShopatHome.com to do your shopping, and that’s on top of any savings you are going to score thanks to the Sears sale and the Sears coupon code. Hooray!!!

Do you have any particular looks that you are seeking out for your kids this year (or even for yourself)? I’d love to hear more from you about what’s trendy where you live!

How I’m Maximizing My Savings Online for Back-to-School Shopping

July 28, 2015 · by Tiffany Merritt · 3 Comments

Thanks to ShopAtHome.com and Belk for partnering with me on today’s post about back-to-school deals. All thoughts, opinions, and total lack of creative skills are my own. Affiliate links included.

Yesterday I had to go shopping for clothing for an upcoming trip. I only shopped inside a store because I didn’t have enough time to order stuff online. I spent an hour scouring racks and trying on a dozen things in the fitting room. I did walk away with the items I needed (a new skirt and 2 new pairs of shoes) but it absolutely WORE ME OUT.

Additionally, when I got to the register I realized that I didn’t have any coupons to help shave something off the bill. This is hardly ever a problem when I shop online because I can often find additional savings opportunities through ShopAtHome.com. Shopathome.com back-to-school

Most everyone still has at least a week before school starts back, and most of us have 3-4 more weeks, so let’s take advantage of the current time lead and get that back-to-school shopping done online!

Right now, Belk (a department store largely in the South, but available for everyone to shop with thanks to the internet!) is having some terrific sales, and ShoptAtHome.com has DOUBLED their cash back offer. By clicking through the Belk link on ShopAtHome.com you are eligible to save 12% on your order, and that’s in addition to any coupons you might be using (currently ShopatHome.com has 23 coupon coupon offers for Belk).

Let me demonstrate how to rock what ShopAtHome.com and Belk have going on right now:

First head to the Belk page on ShopAtHome.com.

Then look through the coupons. Right now I’m seeing one for $10 off a $50 order. I’m going to click this link to get my savings code, and then I’m taken to the Belk site. Right now I’m looking for a few adorable pieces for my youngest, who is starting preschool in a few weeks. I’m a fan of Rare Editions and Bonnie Jean, because both lines tend to have whimsical, colorful prints and patterns that remind me a bit of Matilda Jane. But thanks to the Belk sale and the ShopatHome.com discounts, I won’t be paying Matilda Jane prices! 🙂

This 2-piece set is already marked down 40% and is currently priced at $30. Into my cart it goes!

And this owl outfit? Yes, please! It’s also on sale right now for $30, also 40% off.

Now given the ridiculously cute factor of these outfits, $60 isn’t too terribly bad, but I definitely want to do better. So I’m going to use that $10 off coupon code I found at ShopatHome.com to bring my total down to $50. Then I’m going to check out and pay the total, but here’s where the perks of ShopatHome come back into play: after checking out, I know that I am going to be credited back 12% of my purchase through ShopatHome. So I’m going to see $6 of that payment come back to me, and all I had to do to earn it was use ShopatHome.com. By using this site, what would have cost me $60 actually only cost me $44. And FYI if you like these brands…I saw quite a bit on the site that was 75% off!

And on top of all that awesome, ShopatHome.com also has the ShopGold program, which I think of as a loyalty program. Each store you shop at through the website is worth a certain amount of ShopGold coins. Coins that you earn by shopping can be redeemed for gift cards down the road. It takes a while to earn enough to get a gift card, but I see this as icing on the cake and a really great way that ShopAtHome.com is thanking their members for remembering to shop with them. More savings on top of all of the other savings is a pretty nice thank you! 🙂

ShopatHome.com sends checks out monthly, once you reach a minimum of $20 in your account. With the great cash back offers they have on hand, it won’t be too hard to earn that amount, friends. If you haven’t signed up for ShopAtHome.com, what are you waiting for? It’s completely free to join and is designed to save you as much time and money as possible.
