Get two candles, worth $12, for $1
One of Miamisburg’s self-made deal spotters, Karen Baird, reported an awesome deal she found that is available through Saturday, Oct. 10.
She got two 4.9-ounce Fragrance Collection by Glade Soy Candles from Walgreens, which retail for $5.99 each, for 49 cents each (plus tax).
Here’s how she did it:
She downloaded two Glade coupons, worth $3.50 each, from the Glade Right at Home Web site. (There is a limit of two coupons per computer.)
“You have to fill out a form with your name and address to get to the coupon, but you hit the BACK button and get two coupons per computer,” she said.
Then, she stopped by Walgreens, where the candles (they say they are 4.5 ounces on the Walgreens site, but they are 4.9 ounces) were on sale for $3.99 each. That sale runs through Saturday.
“But, even without the sale, buying two candles with the coupons is like ‘buy one get one free,’” she said, “because the coupons are worth $7 ($3.50 each) and the 4.9-ounce candle retails for $5.99.”
And, if you want to get nutty, Baird said the candles also can be used to get an SC Jonson rebate, which gives you $5 back if you buy three items on their list. So, in this scenario, you would just need to buy one more item on the list to qualify.
In the fine print, SC Johnson notes that you can get three of those rebates per household. So, if you play your deals right, you might even be able to make money.

TweetBig sales at Kohl’s, JCPenney today and Saturday
Some stores just can’t wait until Columbus Day to deliver big discounts.
Kohl’s is having a Mega two-day weekend sale today, Oct. 9, and Saturday.
Some of the best discounts are on outerwear, with coats for the entire family marked down 50 percent.
Shirts for boys and girls are 50 percent to 55 percent off, 55 percent to 65 percent off 800-thread count sheet sets and the store’s entire stock of denim jeans for men is 50 percent off.
Another good feature of the sale is that its “Power Hours,” which offer the biggest of the savings, are not just Saturday morning. Those hours are 3 to 11 p.m. today and 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.
JCPenney also has some “power hours” of its own, although it is calling them its usual “doorbusters.”
Today and Saturday, JCPenney has more than 100 doorbusters, with 50 percent off all dresses, sheets, women’s and girls’ boots, maternity sportswear and more.
During this time, men’s and young men’s outerwear and guys’ hoodies and Southpole jeans are all 60 percent off.
There also are coupons for “instant money” on its Web site, when you spend $50 to $75.
Another good local sale on Saturday is at Stein Mart. The Kettering store is taking an extra 30 percent to 50 percent off, plus 50 percent off previously reduced items.
There are coupons for 20 percent to 60 percent off select items on Page A5 of today’s Dayton Daily News and online.

TweetLiz Claiborne line moving to JCPenney
For any of you who are fans of Liz Claiborne clothes, this could be a good deal for you.
CNBC announced Thursday, Oct. 8, that the line is moving from Macy’s to JCPenney.
Although the story doesn’t mention prices, it would seem that there is a good chance the clothes would be sold for less at JCPenney, as compared to Macy’s.
At any rate, that is one to watch. If I see the clothes on sale, I will note them here.
Also, for those who like the Liz Claiborne New York brand specifically, it will now be sold only on cable shopping network QVC.
