[Ohio-talk] Great Deal with Coupon Books

[Carol Akers]

Colleen,
Thanks for the great testimonial!  There were definitely some great buys.  Next time I will reserve more time to search for even  more deals.  One thing I did get was a Celaphon oven mitt regular price of $15, my price $1.99.  Plus my fleece sheets which were already marked down from $90 to $44 for the sale and then the coupon in book made them $29.99, but the additional coupon made them only $19.99 each!  That was two of my great bargins.  The sheets are awesome!  Well made, wash well and warm and fuzzy like kittens!
Folks who did not participate, lost out on great deals and a great way to support the NFB Ohio! Out of the 150 booklets, we sold 112.  There were booklets that had to be returned, so that was a disappointment, especially when I was really hoping to sell 200 booklets for a minium profit of $1000 plus a shared  percentage of sales on the sale dates.

Hi Everyone,
Just thought I'd share.
Elder-Beerman had some great sales and the Coupon Books made it even better.
Yvonne found a blouse originally selling for fifty dollars. It was marked down to fifteen dollars. With the 20 percent coupon she got it for $5.33 including tax.
I think that was a great deal.
I HAD to get a new coat because of my 48 pound weight loss. I found a coat for half off plus the 20 percent off coupon.
So I got a $160 coat for $63.
See what you guys missed.
The clerk didn't know which coupon was better, it was her first day and she wasn't good at math but Yvonne and I could figure that out so we saved a lot of money.
Next year people ought to consider participating.
It's two days so you have more time to shop.
I think it used to be one day.
Normally I don't shop at Elder Beerman but the markdowns plus coupons make it a great deal.
If we have this fund-raiser next year more of us should participate.
The store loves this event too. I even gave them the rest of my coupon book and the extra one I had inadvertently kept. So I get to donate $15 to the NFB and it's an easy fund-raiser.
The quality of the merchandise is great and we get to shop and donate to the NFB at the same time.
