I have found that telling people that you are are a deal hunter opens the door for people to share their deals with you. This can have you take advantage of the deals they find, and cuts down on your deal hunting.
This week my oldest daughter had a cross country run. A person that reads my blog came up to me and told me that book bags are on sale at the local Staples. Naturally I went to check it out ASAP.
I found nice book bags for sale in the front of the store for sale, and decided to go inside and see what other deals could be found. To my surprise in the back of the store I found even more bookbags for sale with attached lunchbag and pencil case with the bag. They were $5 and an extra 25% off!!!!
I bought three for future years and I also have 2 stashed in the basement.
WATCH THE ITEMS BEING RUNG IN
I can't stress enough how important it is to watch items being scanned at the cash register. One bookbag scanned for $9.99 and I pointed it out and it got price adjusted.
