I recently received an e-mail from Borders. It stated that they had applied $5 in Borders Bucks to my rewards card for the holidays and that they could be redeemed online or in the store. Of course, I was thrilled! I headed to Borders the very next morning. My plan was to find some stocking stuffers for the kids!
I also had a 33% off any one item coupon. I was browsing through the store, looking at everything from books to candy to wind up toys. Not sure what I was looking for, but knowing that I wanted to get the most for my Borders Bucks reward.
I noticed a hand-written sign that said: Glitter Balls 99 cents! To my surprise, they were the BIG glitter balls! My children love these and have asked for them on numerous occasions. I just can't justify spending $10 on a bouncy ball. But, 99 cents is a price that I'm more than willing to pay!
I ended up buying all that they had left, 7 pretty glitter balls! 4 green, 2 blue and 1 purple.
I know that I only have two children, and they obviously don't need 7 glitter balls. But, I can use the others as gifts. Every kid loves a fun, bouncy glitter ball. My daughter's birthday is in January, they would also make great party favors.
I couldn't use my 33% off coupon on the clearance items, so I chose a box of yummy, chocolate dipped candy sticks.
In the end, I ended up paying just $4.17 out of pocket.
I saved a total of $68.99!

Wow, good shopping!!
Great job! Little Miss would love that glitter ball - too bad we don't have a borders
What a steal Bridget! My boys love bouncy balls....while I'm not a fan....
That is so awesome! My kiddos are still a bit too young for bouncy balls (my little girl will still put them in her mouth). But here's a secret...I LOVE them. I actually have one that I play with from time to time after the kids go to bed. I know that seems super silly. Okay now I'm embarrassed that I shared that!
