Free shipping coupons in time for Mother’s Day

Written by Elizabeth on May 7, 2008 – 11:19 pm -

I have always believed, until now that is, that shopping in stores was cheaper than shopping online. I assumed it was silly to pay shipping charges instead of just going to the store yourself. However, with the price of gas at an outrageous $3.89 a gallon here, shopping online is starting to sound like a more economical choice, especially because there are websites where you can find free shipping coupons.

I have both a Target and a Wal-Mart near my house, so the first thing I wanted to look into was how much I could save by shopping on their websites rather than driving to the stores. An easy google search brought up Walmart free shipping links from FreeShipping.org.

I have to be honest and say I was disappointed, not with FreeShipping, which has tons of links to all kinds of stores, but in what Wal-Mart called “free” shipping. Most of the links on their page are for 97 cent shipping, which isn’t FREE, and then one link to “free” shipping because they send the item you order to the nearest Wal-Mart for you to pick up! If I have to DRIVE THERE, then I’m paying for that gas, and that doesn’t make it FREE. I’d like to give Wal-Mart the benefit of the doubt and assume that there are times that they do have free shipping, but I’d have to check back again to be sure.

I also found a link to Target free shipping on the same FreeShipping.org site, and hit the jackpot:
• Free Shipping on Select Furniture Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Patio Furniture Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Lawn and Garden Items Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Kitchen and Dining Items Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Health and Beauty Items Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Bedding Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Bath Items Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Rugs Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Slipcovers Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Window Coverings Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Home Décor Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Lighting Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Kitchen and Dining Items Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Baby Gear Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Electronics Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Toys Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Hardware Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Storage and Organization Items Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Sport and Outdoor Items Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Luggage Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Stationary and Scrapbooking Items Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Pet Items Through May 10, 2008
• Free Shipping on Select Clearance items while supplies last

It doesn’t link to specific pages, you’ll have to search those categories to see what is free. I did also find on the Target free shipping page that they are having Free eGiftCard promotions too :

• Free $50 Target e-Giftcard with purchase of a Dyson DC07 Animal Vacuum, Dyson DC17 Asthma and Allergy Vacuum or an iRobot Roomba Robot Vacuum Through May 10, 2008

• Free $25 Target e-Giftcard with purchase of select KitchenAid 4.5-qt. Ultra Power Stand Mixers Through May 10, 2008

• Free $20 Target e-Giftcard with purchase of a Bissell Lift-Off Revolution Pet Vac or a Bissell PowerSteamer Turbo Upright Deep Cleaner Through May 10, 2008

Now those would make excellent Mother’s Day gifts, don’t you think?? With the price of gas where it is, if you aren’t usually an online shopper, this would be a good time to look into it, especially when you can find free shipping using links on sites like FreeShipping.org. Time to shop!
