[Ohio-talk] Great Deal with Coupon Books

[COLLEEN ROTH]

Hi Carol,
I'll have to check out those fleece sheets next year.
I am having more problems with my circulation and to have sheets that feel like kittens would be great.
Richard we're sure you wouldn't want those sheets.
I like the real thing (a cat) on my bed too.
When Kiana (the cat) lays on my feet that's great too.
I think maybe with our examples we can get more people to participate.
You know a Coupon Book would be a nice gift to others who would use them too.
The coupons are a good deal and some people love to go to stores like Elder-Beerman to buy really good-qality items.
Just think of the savings you can get. I do not shop there normally so it's a treat to buy things there on sale and even better when you can use a coupon or two.

> 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.
