Welcome to week SEVEN of the Iron Shopper Challenge! Every Monday I will set up this post where you can share and brag about the deals you got at the stores you shop. On Sunday morning I will close this thread and name the winner of the Iron Shopper Challenge for the week. The winner will be selected based on the number of votes their entry gets. So make sure to make your entry appealing to get people to vote for it. Share your deal with friends and family to get more votes too. Competing is OK but having fun is what’s important. I want this to be a forum where you can share and brag about the deals you have gotten.
Who will be the winner this time around? Remember that it’s free and fun to play and you get to share your deals plus you also get a chance to win a $20 prize. For a list of the rules and how-to’s check here.
Important Note: You need to make sure your image is not too large to upload. The file needs to be 1,000 bits. Use a free software like paint.net to make the size of the file it’s not too big.
Have fun!
Scored 2 Rimmel mascaras at Kmart for $2.99 for both–regular price would have been $13.98. Kmart has BOGO on Rimmel products this week and are also doing double coupons on health & beauty items (with their shop your way rewards card).
So 2 mascaras were $6.99 for both and I had $2 coupons and that were then doubled to $4, so total was just $2.99–a 368% savings!

Super excited!! I saved 41.78! I love it when i get good deals!
Here’s a slightly different deal scenario that has to do with clothes. My local Kohl’s is under construction and a few weeks back gave out $10 Kohl’s cash with ANY purchase as an apology for the mess. I made a purchase that week with a giftcard I received as a present and received the $10 Kohl’s cash to use the following week. Well, I went back and this is what I got ALL FOR FREE for my little girl with my $10 Kohl’s cash:
(1) Chaps long sleeved sweater – $2.60 on clearance
(5) Jumping Beans short sleeved shirts – $5.40 (all on clearance for $1-$1.20 each!)
(1) Jumping Beans long sleeved shirt – $2.00 on clearance
TOTAL = $10 – $10 Kohl’s Cash = FREE!!!
And since I had received my Kohl’s cash from a purchase I made with a giftcard, I really didn’t spend any of my own money. My receipt said that I saved $90! I rarely buy new clothes for my little girl, so I was so happy to be able to get her these things.
Here’s a slightly different shopping scenario because it has to do with clothes. My local Kohl’s is under construction, and they gave out $10 Kohl’s cash with any purchase as an apology for the mess. I made a purchase with a gift card I received as a present and got the $10 Kohl’s cash to be used the following week. I went back the next week and picked all these things up for my little girl…and paid NOTHING out of pocket! Here is what I bought:
(1) Chaps long sleeved sweater – $2.60 on clearance
(5) Jumping Beans short sleeved shirts – $5.40 (each were $1-$1.20 on clearance)

**I wanted to use a $5 Target GC Q for the scrubbing bubbles, (buy 4 items, get a $5 gc), but it would not scan. The manager said the Q had been giving them problems since it came out, so she would deduct $5 off my total since it would not scan.
Not all items are in the pictures. We ate some of the Warm Delights, 1 of the Feline Pine is currently in use (ha!), and I took the razor and toilet gel out of the package before I thought to take a picture. Also, the 100lbs of cat litter is still downstairs. Sorry, but I live in a 3rd floor walk-up! It can stay downstairs in storage until I need it!
Gah, that is NOT a stain on my carpet, just something weird with the camera! 😛
