Aoril's Great Deals for Smart Shoppers

End of month always provides great deals for smart spenders. Here's a few deals I've stumbled upon this week provide great bargains for the saavy shopper. Easy ways to save money buying what you want.

Sears - Friends and Family Discount on May 3rd (Sunday) from 6 - 9PM Kenmore appliances, gas grills, home and garden equipment are all on sale offering great savings. Get an additional 10% off by purchasing during this time frame. Also, check your receipt. Sears is offering a $10 of $50 purchase coupon of home and garden items. (Tip: Don't have one? Make nice with the person in front of you in line - you might be able to snag their coupon and apply it to your purchase.) I'll be saving $117 off a $350 gas grill purchase by applying all these incentives.

Lands End. 30 - 50% off all swimwear and 20% off all shoes and sandals. Sale ends April 29th. Just in time for the beach.

Talbots. Talbot cardholders get a 20% off coupon good through May 2 for all clothing purchases. Good opportunity to purchase a nice Mother's Day gift. (May 10th) Don't forget!

Ann Taylor. 30% off your total purchase using your Friends and Family discount, now through May 3. Present at any Ann Taylor and LOFT stores or enter code FRIENDS during online checkout.(Store associates: use code 107020024). Free shipping on purchases of $100 or more! Yes, its time to pick up this season's little black dress before Michelle Obama does.
