captpackratAfter spending all day yesterday sitting in the Toyota dealership waiting for my roommate's car (which was just supposed to get an oil change but ended up needing new brakes), I went out again today to finish my shopping. I had a ton of coupons and got some pretty good deals.
First I hit Petco for a free pound of dog treats with a coupon I got for being a Petco PALS member. Yay.
I then went to Borders and bought two books, The Legend of Sigurd & Gudrún by J.R.R. (and Christopher) Tolkien and The Complete Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook. Borders (and Waldenbooks) has a deal where if you buy $50 worth of books by July 27th, you get a free backpack worth at least $20, no coupon required. The pack I got was normally priced at $25. And for every $50 you spend by the end of the month, you get a $5 Borders Bucks gift certificate by mail. Score! They also have a Buy 4, Get the 5th Book Free promotion through July 27th, but I didn't see anything else I really had to have.
Then I picked up the hardcover version of Mouse Guard: Winter 1152 from a local comic shop. Great comic, I highly recommend it. No coupons or discounts on this purchase, though.
And finally I stopped in at Worst Buy and bought Tiger Woods 10 with the WiiMotionPlus dongle. I had a $5 gift certificate, buying the bundle saves $10 over buying the game and dongle separately, and it comes with a certificate for a free year of Golf Digest worth $10. I may try selling my copy of Tiger Woods 09 to GameStop or somesuch, if they give me a decent price.
