Build a Bear Workshop-Upcoming Promos + Tips

Hello All-

Build a Bear Workshop at a location near you is going to be offering some upcoming promos!

Sat/Sun- August 16 & 17, spend $15 in store and get a free BABW Messenger Bag..it is cute and a great gift idea for your BABW fan! I called my local store and they said a $15 or more gift card purchase counts towards the bag. I'm there! I will tuck away these items for Christmas or other special gift time for my daughter.

If you ever shop at this store, you have to sign up for the Stuff Fur Stuff Club. It entitles you to store certificates for merchandise after certain dollar amounts purchased in the store. Amounts are cumulative and add up over time, so it is worth it. Plus, you will be added to the coupon mailing lists, which are always helpful!

Happy Savings!

Old Navy-Stuff & Save Time!, 20% Discount!

Hello All-

Old Navy is having their semi-annual Stuff & Save Sale! If you hold an Old Navy, Gap or Banana Republic credit card you are eligible for this offer. Cardholders typically get a mailer on this as well (haven't seen mine yet!). This sale runs August 1-21. By the end of August, I am sure most Fall merchandise will be in. Gap just ran a huge sale over the weekend which was great, but Fall merchandise was a tad limited.

If you get a mailer, they send a bag and everything you want you stuff in the bag and whatever fits in the bag you get 20% off.

However, to get around this go on-line and stuff your endless cart with more possibilities! You still get 20% off your whole order when you use a Gap companies credit card. The promo code is: STUFFSAVE

I believe the discount is only on Old Navy branded merchandise, however this is the first stuff & save with the new combined card option so if you try it and it allows the discount on Gap or BR merchandise, let me know and I will update this post!

Happy Saving!

On-Line Retailer Return Caution

Hello All-

Part of saving is easily found on on-line retail sites. I like amazon.com and have just recently started using their 3rd party sellers option they have available on their site.

I found out the hard way about needing to be very careful about certain on-line retailers and their slightly deceiving return policies. You wouldn't save any money and actually may lose money (I did!), if your item doesn't work out for you and the company has stringent return policies.

I recently purchased some shoes from an on-line retailer that was one of amazon's 3rd party sellers. I don't want to mention their name as I believe in the Golden Rule, but basically I purchased my daughter a pair of shoes which did not fit (shoes are helpful to try on and I couldn't get this pair locally). I was told after the fact (no return policy) stated obviously that they were on sales and sale items can't be returned. I shared my frustration with this policy considering the item and the need to actually try it on! I hope they will change their policy in the future.

A word of consumer advice: read your online retailers return policy. My experience shows me that the cheaper an item, the more stringent the return policy may be. Make sure what you are getting into before you purchase an item that you might be stuck with!

Happy Savings & Safety!
