Living better, spending less.
Staples Custom Printing has a $20 off $20+ coupon for custom rubber stamps using the code 47328. The coupon is valid on the following models: ACCU-STAMP, EVOSTAMP, 2000 Plus, Green Line. Thanks to Slickdeals. If one were say, just buying a new house and needed address labels, they might think about buying one of these!
I have a hard and fast rule about bargain shopping, and that is that I have to think very carefully about whether or not I actually need the item at its final price every time, even if it’s a super deal. If it’s free–sure. (Even then, I calculate how much tax I’ll be paying as part of my final price.) And that’s why I finally closed the browser window on the checkout page. After applying the coupon code and adding tax and shipping, this would have cost me $5.08 and while that’s stupid cheap, I really don’t need one so I decided against ordering it. I have a pile of stickers in my basket that I can’t seem to finish using before I get another batch in the mail from some non-profit or another. But if YOU need a rubber stamp, then this is a great deal. I’m tempted to buy one for my teenage niece. I would have loved that when I was a teenager. Of course, I was a geek and she isn’t, so maybe not.
When I became a stay-at-home-mom, I promised I could save our family money by shopping sales and maybe even using a few coupons. I had no idea what I was getting into. These days, I am on a first-name basis with the cashiers at the local drugstores, I haven't paid for toothpaste or shampoo in over a year and I spend my free time here, helping others do the same. So please, make yourself at home while you learn how to save, and when to spend!

Dang! I tried to use the coupon, but it said it was expired. I’m sure I’ll have another pile of charity labels soon enough, though it would be nice to have something that wouldn’t make everyone think I was a Ziggy fan.
