At CouponAlert™, you know we’re all about convenience. We put all of the savings in one place, so you don’t have to sign up for a million newsletters or “like” numerous brands on Facebook®. The same is true with money-savings news. We’ve scoured the Web for gossip, so you don’t have to. Here’s what’s going on in the fabulous world of couponing this week.

 

Folks in Chicago really hate coupons, so much that they’re suing the Chicago Tribune and Valassis Communications® for $50,000 (per plaintiff) NOT to receive them.

 

RetailMeNot® and Fandango® are giving away FREE $7 movie coupons on Friday, May 24.

Wine Wednesday: Free Shipping Sale

by | Leave a comment

Morrell Wine® offers free delivery just in time for your Memorial Day barbecue

Image by iStock Photo.

 

Memorial Day is less than a week away, which means your shopping list is probably a mile long. Today, you can scratch vino off that list because Morrell Wine® is giving you free shipping on all $175 purchases. Now I know that $175 seems like a lot to spend on alcohol, but consider this: if you split the cost between six couples (or 12 friends), that comes to about $14.50 per person. That’s quite a paltry amount to pay for varietals handpicked by a family-run business that’s been operating for more than 65 years! Just think; you’ll be the envy of all your neighbors when you sip on a 2012 Bodegas Olivares Rosado® Rose from Jumilla, Spain or a 2010 Michael Sullberg® Merlot Reserve from California — unless they go in with you on that $175 order. The best part? You don’t have to battle the crowded liquor stores! Everything is shipped — for FREE — right to your doorstep.

But first, I have to list the usual disclaimer that coupons and sales may vary by your local Target®, so please check your online circular before traveling to the store. Also, I’ve listed a few abbreviation definitions below to help you understand how I’ve stacked each discount. Happy couponing!

Memorial Day is a week away, but most sales kick off this Friday. Are you so prepared that you already have a store strategy mapped out? If yes, bravo — you are light years ahead of the rest of us. If not, you’ve come to the right place.

Earlier this month, you may remember that I advised you to wait until this very three-day weekend to buy appliances and mattresses. If you held out, Internet high-five! You’ll score deals like 30 percent off at Best Buy®, plus free shipping.

Even if you’re not in the market for a big ticket item, you can cash in on other bargains like 40 percent off one item at Joann Fabric and Craft Stores®, 30 percent off Reef® flip-flops and more. That means you have nearly 100 excuses to shop from May 24-27 — as if you needed one. Read on for more Memorial Day coupons, sales and freebies (including military discounts).

Movie Monday: Free Shipping on Disney® Classics

Order any of these 778 films and you won’t pay a dime in postage

When I was a kid, I couldn’t wait for Disney® to release its next animated flick. Fast forward a couple decades later, and my nieces have fallen in love with the same cartoons (one in particular, has a mini crush on Peter Pan). That’s why I’m jonesing for today’s Movie Monday deal: free shipping on nearly every movie Disney® has ever made (or acquired). 

Fancy a swim with The Little Mermaid? Ariel will arrive quicker than you can pronounce “dinglehopper.” Or want to own the magic of Oz The Great and Powerful (yup, the one that’s still in theaters)? You can get a Blue-ray® two-disc combo pack for less than $30.

Whatever you choose to watch is up to you, and if you decide to order more classics throughout the summer, feel free. Unlike Cinderella’s carriage, this sale doesn’t expire at midnight — it’s good through August 11.
