Office Max

Office Max is offering many items "Free After Rewards" meaning you pay full price now (you can use coupons), then they will credit the purchase price (minus any tax) onto your MaxPerks card. Rewards do not show up in your account instantly, in fact it can take up to 6 weeks, depending on when in the month you make your purchase. You must register your card online and the reward show up in your account as a page you print and take to the store and then you can spend the certificate like cash. You can also purchase gift cards at Giant Eagle earning you $.10 (or $.20 until 7/28) off per gallon of fuel for every $50 you spend. This is a great way to purchase ink. I plan on purchasing gift cards, then using the gift cards to buy the "Free After Rewards" items, then when the money is credited to my account, I can use that money to buy ink.

Black Friday Deals!

Black Friday is tomorrow!  Hopefully, you're already prepared to head out early tomorrow and snatch up some great finds.  However, if you're like us (not-so-prepared) we have put together this list of stores and links to those store's ads so you can see what looks good to you. It is an adventure to get up early and head out to the stores. If you are wondering if there is a coupon for a specific item, please feel free to email allie@couponallies.com and I will get back to you as soon as possible!

Amazon ~ HERE  (they have deals all week)

Best Buy ~ HERE

CVS ~ HERE

Drug Mart ~ HERE

Kmart ~ HERE

Kohl's ~ HERE

Office Max ~ HERE

Pet Smart ~ HERE

Target ~ HERE

Walgreens ~ HERE

Walmart ~ HERE

Stores (like Best Buy) will often hand out tickets for the big items to the customers in line to avoid a crazy rush. Ask toward the front of the line to see if the item you want is already sold out. Politeness and a good attitude go a long way knowing you will be around lots of people who have also waited in long lines.

Dress for the weather, check your local forecast HERE.  One year, it was so cold my cousin wore his neon orange hunting snowsuit to wait for a laptop.  He may have looked a little funny (and was easy to find in line) but he was warm. 

Also, if you know what you are buying, stop at Giant Eagle to buy gift cards so you can earn fuelperks on what you spend.  Find the list of gift cards available HERE. Be careful when buying your gift cards, if you don't get the item or want to return it later, the gift cards cannot be returned!  

If you check the return policy on the things you buy and there isn't a problem with it, you could purchase the items first, then head to Giant Eagle to buy gift cards in the amount of the item.  Return it, then  buy it back with the gift card.   Double-check with customer service to make sure the "early bird" price will still apply when you come back to re-buy it.  Just another thought on maximizing your savings.

Happy Shopping!
