Today I went to GameStop and the first thing I saw was the drastically reduced prices on some of the strategy guides. I bought the Kingdom Hearts 358/2 strategy guide for only $2.99, and then I left the store like a giddy school girl.
Have you ever found any really good sales?
Strategy guides are available for free online.
I find sweet deals all the time. I go to this department store called Ross, which is basically a store where they take all the stuff that nobody wanted to buy from bigger retails and lowers the price a bunch to get people to buy them.
Yeah but these guides have pictures and incorrect information!Quote:

I got my Le Creuset oven for 40% off retail price, my Mac Pro for $1000 off retail, Del Murder and I got our HTC Incredibles in a buy-one-get-one-free deal. The couch I'm sitting on we got for super cheap off Craigslist (it's an Ikea Ektorp and I looove it). And last year, we found round trip tickets to South Korea (non-stop) for $500. TAX INCLUDED! The book I am currently reading, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, Del Murder got for me with a 40% off coupon at Borders. :D I get lots of great deals on books since I buy so many of them used. I found the Letters of J.R.R Tolkien for like $1 at a used book store!
Also, there's this place in Vegas that I always go to that serves a steak dinner for $6.99 and that also includes soup/salad, two sides, and beer. Best deal in town.
I am bargain hunter extraordinaire.
Strategy guides, I think there should be a strategy guide for making minced soup. Not a cook book, I mean a strategy guide. You can almost NEVER get one of those. I think, in this day and age, that's the only thing that would turn me into a giddy school girl.
There should be a strategy guide on how to be a giddy school girl.
Uno is a dollar on the PSN this week. So there's that.
I love it when I see deals, because it means that I can get more of what I like. For example usually my clothes run me between 100-200$ a piece, which is ridiculous or just cheap, depending on whether you like deals or not.Quote:

If I find a good deal I like deals because it means that I can get more of what I like.
A lot of stuff I can get cheaper because my friend works at Media Markt. Means I can sometimes get new video games for like 30 euros, then sell them for 40 when I'm done.
also I got some cool clothes through bargains. Like my Hugo Boss suit which was only 250 euro (originally like 700).
Nice.Quote:

Please get back onto the topic of bargains everyone!
(I deleted some posts.)
Sometimes the gamestop girl would draw hearts on my receipt and that's a bargain because she's a hotty :love:
If I have to talk about bargains otherwise I'll hurt the OP's feelings, then I've been going out on Black Friday for the past four years now. I also get emails for the sales at Macy's and The Men's Warehouse.
I paid 2 dollars for a bomber jacket in Dhaka....:cool:
I love scoping out bargains on craigslist or thrift stores. Just because something's at a cheap price doesn't mean it can't be awesome.
I tried to get into the whole couponing thing, but I decided the effort wasn't worth it. Some of those people are obsessed with their coupons.
I managed to get the official Final Fantasy X-2 startegy guide from a local Game the other month for only 99p. Shame they didn't have any of the others as well really :-)
today I went shopping for shoes. the ones I wanted were like 160 yuro. Found them online for 120.
120.00 EUR = 160.523 CADQuote:

basically I was looking for boots that I could hike in and wear them casually as well. these ones looked pretty good. plus they're called "earthkeepers" because they're made of recycled materials, so I can be totally smug about them like I just saved the planet.
Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. $8.99. It was at a GameStop in Terre Haute, Indiana. Just sitting there. For no money and change.
^^ That reminds me. One time I bought the GameCube version of Namco Museum for $1.50 because there was a mistake on the marked price. (It was supposed to be $15.) I eventually ended up trading it for The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition. Totally worth it.
Black Fri I snagged me up the God of War Collection for only $10 and The Dark Knight on Blu-Ray for only $5.
$30 Pea Coats! Need I say more?
$2 people...$2.....:cool:
smurf, where?Quote:

I got a really good deal on a pair of flats from Steve Madden on Cyber Monday. 30% on top of their discount price, plus shipping.

This would have been 2004 I believe. And very nice deal on S2.Quote:

I am going to go on a rant.
Yesterday I served a Coupon Queen who FLIPPED THE smurf OUT because she misplaced a coupon in her giant folder. And by flipped the smurf out what I mean is she looked at me with the panic-stricken sneer and said "I HAVE LOST A COUPON," picked up all her belongings and said "You'll have to hold my things, I must find this coupon. I must find it."
Afterwards her coupons weren't doubling because they didn't meet the specific requirements of the doubling deal and she, again, flips the smurf out. "Ma'am I can read, it's UP TO $2.00. We double coupons UP TO $2.00. We don't double coupons for $2.50." Eventually we just gave it to her because she just kept getting more and more upset. She ended up paying $2.67 for like 40 bucks worth of stuff and kept asking me if I thought she was a good shopper because she was able to do that, don't you think I planned well, didn't I do a good job.
I am a fan of a legitimate bargain as much as anybody but don't push what you're not owed, freaking coupon queens!
Ha ha ha ha ha, that's fantastic. The best part is the begging for validation at the end. "ARE YOU PROUD OF ME MOMMY ARE YOU PROUD"
I get 10% off of anything that's not grocery, baby, or pharmacy items, even if it's on sale or clearance at my place of employment.
SO if something's on clearance for 50% off, I can get an additional 10% off leaving me to pay only 40% of the original sale price :3
