Being Booga

I had a really good consumer experience recently. No, no one is paying me to say this! It’s just a good tip from me to you…old fashioned blogger style!

Because I was in possession of Target Portrait Studio’s prized 50% Off savings coupon from my Entertainment 2008 Book, Joe and I decided to go with them for our portraits. We’re so glad we did!

We loved our photographer. He made the “work” of posing fast and fun and light - and our photos came out great! We got to see our photos instantly and had a really good time putting together the packages. With the coupon, we saved a bundle - well, 50%!

This was about a week ago. Then today I got to view our sitting at SmileStation.Com - where we can order additional prints later. I love online convenience.

While checking that site, I came across a link for more Target Portrait Studio Coupons… so here it is - Enjoy!

As for other studios - if you do your research online you will probably find a printable coupon for major / chain portrait studios - try Google Search!

AOL has launched a new service that allows you to place electronic coupons on participating Grocers’ Loyalty / Frequent Shopper Cards. In addition to saving time in clipping and sorting coupons, I discovered that by using the Shortcuts.Com Coupons, you can double or even triple your savings!

When I tested it on Big G Cheerios, I found that I not only saved $1.00 with the Shortcuts.Com coupon + the item was on sale + I used an additional $1.00 off manufacturer’s coupon from the Sunday insert.

I was able to purchase a box of Cheerios cereal for $1.00.

Not all stores or manufacturers are participating yet - you’ll have to check the site to see if one of your stores are.

I hope the food manufacturers get on board - currently I’m seeing participation from Big G, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Yoplait, Nature Valley and Green Giant.

When you log into the site you can view a report of your savings-do-date as well as the dollar amount of all coupons saved to your loyalty card.
