New Video: Deal Shopping at Gymboree, Victoria’s Secret, Barnes & Noble, & Office Depot (12/8-12/14)
It’s time for another video in my “Weekly Deal Shopping” series!
I head to the Mall, Barnes & Noble, and Office Depot! Enjoy…
[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK1jCUMSvrU&w=640&h=360]If you can’t see the video, go here.
(To see the deals referenced in the video, click the link below “Read More / Post Your Comments”.)
First, if you’re on the L.L. Bean mailing list and score their FREE catalogs (if not, sign up here), be sure to check your mailbox for another holiday catalog with an exclusive promo code valid for $10 off ANY order + FREE shipping (no minimum!).
Pair this great offer with a sale or clearance item and you should be able to snag something completely FREE shipped to your door! In fact, as I mentioned in the video, I was able to score a completely FREE water bottle shipped to my door! Sweet!
Gymboree Deals Referenced in Video:
ALL Hair Accessories, Underwear AND Socks (including multi-packs!) Only $1.99
This is such a *HOT* sale, as the underwear and sock multi-packs typically retail for as much as $14.95!!
* Note that these may not be marked, so be sure to price check. Also, I am not sure if this sale is going on Nationwide, so you may want to call in advance before heading out. The associate at my local Gymboree stated that this sale was going on through Thursday and that everything else in the store is on sale for $19.99 and under. You can also check out this post as all items online are also $19.99 and under (however, the $1.99 sale on hair accessories, underwear and socks is just available in-store).
Barnes & Noble Deal Referenced in Video:
Head on over to Barnes & Noble where you can currently save $10 off any $19.95+ toy purchase when you use your MasterCard at checkout – just be sure to enter the code MCTOYGAME at checkout. Or, if you’d prefer to shop at your local Barnes & Noble store (like I did), just print the coupon found here. Keep in mind that shipping is free with any $25 purchase (otherwise, it appears to start at $3.99). Also, note that the coupon does have several exclusions so be sure to read through the fine print.
I snagged the Parcheesi Royal Edition for just $9.95 after the coupon (regularly $19.95!). This same game is going for $18.30 on Amazon, so this seemed like quite the deal to me! 🙂
Office Depot Deals Referenced in Video:
First, I had a FREE $5 Office Depot gift card via the Wrapp App! To get your own FREE gift card, just head here and choose a Facebook friend to send the FREE gift card to (consider sending it to your hubby, roommate, or a friend that would be willing to send you one back). The recipient will then have 30 days to claim and redeem their FREE gift card.
Also, you can still head to the Office Depot Facebook page and click on the “Get Offer” link to score a coupon via email valid for $10 off your $30+ Office Depot purchase, in-store only (thru 12/14).
I was able to use my FREE $5 Office Depot gift card to score 6 FREE hand sanitizers and hand soaps, a FREE Method dish soap and more. Also, keep in mind that in order to use your Office Depot Wrapp gift card, be sure that the amount (before tax) is just a little over $5 or else it won’t go through. And keep your eyes peeled for these *HOT* clearance buys:
Hand Sanitizer & Antibacterial Hand soaps (as pictured above) on clearance for $0.14

Hi collin.was wondering if you wouldnt mind answering my question. How many free items do u get on a daily basis from stores for doing all this stuff for your site.like they mite give u free stuff for showing their product.or even the free samples that you post.are u able to geg most freebies that u post.or do most snatch them up before u r able to get them urself?
LOL! Great question! I almost always try to request the hot freebie/coupon before it is posted on Hip2Save so that I can verify the offer is working and that the site seems legitimate. However, there are some occasions where I have missed out on something posted because I get distracted and forget to take the time to request it.
When do you have time to do all this? We get another video this week too! Busy- Busy Busy!
LOL! Well, just try to imagine the stuff that isn’t put in the video…. like when we are in the parking lot for 30 minutes at each stop on our laptops! 😉
What did you buy when you checked out at VS?
I got a hand lotion for $10, so FREE after one of the reward cards and a lip gloss that was $12, so $2 after the second reward card.
I honestly, though, couldn’t believe how pricey the stuff was in-store and how little I ended up getting for a little over $20 (before the reward cards were applied).
Love your gray coat!
Thanks! 🙂
so I haven’t tried this yet but wanted to throw this out at all of you. My Office Depot sells stamps! Has anyone tried using the Wrapp to use towards a book of stamps at Office Depot?
I doubt that would work.
I did get 4 books of stamps from them recently with a $10 coupon online for store pick up which they didn’t cancel. They mentioned a recent scam where people were getting stamps for almost free & those orders were all canceled. So YMMV is the answer. I think stamps are supposed to be excluded from their coupons, but they sometimes forget.
Well darn! My LLBean mag went straight in the garbage.
Mine too. UGH. LOL
Not all of the catalogs have the $10 off. Mine looked like Collin’s, but in the same space that hers showed the $10 off, mine said, save 20% on your entire order and below that, a free $10 gift card WITH purchase of $50 or more, SO, just maybe you didn’t lose out on too much. 🙂
I was gonna say the same – same thing here!
Collin, you’re freakin adorable!
Awe… thanks! But come over to my house in the morning and I don’t think you’ll call me adorable. 😉
I have a question on the llbean catalog. The one pictured in your post has $10 off sticker (?) whereas when i go to request one using the link you provided, i see a picture of catalog without any gift card offer. So when you request a catalog do you get to see at the request time if it has gift card offer or not?
Also how do you sign up for catalogs? In the link i can see a form to request one but there is no way to ask them to keep it sending.
Hi there,
In my experience, when you sign up, you will continue regularly getting them (even though it appears you are signing up for just one catalog). Also, the image of the Catalog on there is not necessarily the one you will receive and it’s not advertised on their site that the catalog will come with a $10 off promo, however, lots of them are – it’s a nice little bonus surprise. 🙂
The last 2 catalogs that I’ve received have had $10 coupon offers on them.
Thanks Collin and Tilla
Yes, check out my post above, mine didn’t have the $10 off.
I have received 3 of their catalogues in the last 2 weeks, 2 had a 10 dollar code, 1 didn’t. also it took me a month or more to begin receiving them after request
Thanks for the video! I didn’t even think about buying household stuff at Office Depot.
You’re welcome! They even sell K-Cups and other grocery type items, so it’s a great way to make use of the gift card and Facebook coupon. 🙂
I dont enjoy mall shopping, but I’m a pretty good online shopper, thanks to you!
Online shopping rocks! 😀
I am sooo NOT a mall shopper either! There are times that I will pay shipping to avoid the drive (40 min) & the crazies lol! I do get VS lotions & body stuff for free or almost free when I use the rewards cards. I lucked up and one was $20..waiting on my other 2 to arrive in the mail. I love, love, love Starbucks peppermint mocha!
Thank you for the super cute video!
You’re welcome… and I agree, those Peppermint Mochas are oh so yummy! 🙂
You and Collin clearly didn’t grow up in New Jersey, the mall capital!
There is an ever after high doll in the Barns and Nobel ad but when I went to the website they are not there. Does anyone know where I can get these dolls cheap or on discount?
Target has them and there was a $3 coupon on target.com. I bought one Friday from amazon and it was $15. I know justice has them too but they are really pricey.
I have more than one Rewards card for VS are you aloud to use more than one in the store? Does anyone know? Because on the website its one per purchase…
you have to make separate transactions. only one card per transaction
Yes, you likely will need to separate the transactions. However, I was planning to do that at my store and the associate told me that in-store as long as you are buying multiple items, you can use multiple reward cards…. so it may depend on the associate you get.
Since I was purchasing 2 items, they let me use 2 reward cards in the same transaction.
nice kitchen!!!
Thanks!
Loved the video Collin! Over the years of following your site and learning the online ropes, I do 90% of my shopping online now. So thanks for that oh and I’m cracking up about the man in the parking lot looking at you like you are a movie star lol.
LOL! That guy thought we were really odd! 😉
I did the VS deal and did the Barnes n noble deal because of your site. I had no idea about the Gymboree sale. Heading now to call the store. Thanks Colin. Just became a SAHM and you made Christmas just as good as last year.
You’re welcome! 🙂 Hopefully your Gymboree has this *HOT* sale going on too!
You might want to check online too as they have free shipping 🙂
I ordered this morning and it’s already being processed. A hint about the store ask. They had pjs for $9.99 online but were $19.99(newer line)in the store. I asked and sure enough they had them in the back! Also undies multipacks were $3.99 and again they has some in their “secret” room 🙂
Also don’t forget to bring a 20% off coupon!
Where can I get a 20% off coupon for Gymboree?
I was having a bad day and after I watched this video I feel much better. It made me smile… I also love your grey coat & ur goofiness 🙂
cute name Harlow. I am having quite possibly the most craptastic few days of my entire 36 years, or at least the 33 or so I remember. It’s nice to just watch a video with someone being silly, or get a coupon deal high vicariously:)
Hey tilla ham, I hate that you are having a rough go lately. I hope things start to turn around for you. We have all been there one time or another. Maybe all you need is a great deal of something special to cheer you up 😉 Hope things get better soon 🙂 <3– HaRlOw
thank you:) I should have some packages coming today, the mailman always makes me happy lol. yesterday he said well I was going to say I have a package for you, but I realized you already know that as it’s a daily occurrence in this house
Ha ha! That is so funny. same thing at my house 🙂
Awe… you both are so sweet! I sure hope both of your days get better.
None of my LLbean have had that offer- but a few months back I used 2 gift cards and got it so I’m not hating! 🙂 BTW I am in NY and I am maybe every 2 months getting a free $10 gift card from Kohl’s in the mail! I don’t even have a card. I have snagged some awesome free things there. Anyone else get these?
ALSO: COLLIN You HAve TO USE YOUR COFFEE CUFF IN THE NEXT VIDEO!!!!
Thanks for the great video- going to check out my Gymboree !
$20 Leapfrog Download Card are $17.95 and bogo 50% off, plus the coupon works for them! So $16.93 for $40 worth! (online at least.)
Through what site? I need those for Xmas!
Oh through Office Depot. Sorry, I was multi tasking and didn’t think it through.
Sorry, I was actually talking about B&N.
How did you get free shipping? I just tried and now its charging me 4.98 shipping cause its under 25.
Just wanted to mention (NOT to contradict Colin – I heart you!) that I have used the Wrapp code at Office Depot a few times for less than $5, and the gift card balance has printed out on the receipt. For example, I got a roll of chevron xmas wrap for $4 plus tax, told the cashier that I had an electronic gift card, she typed in the number, and voila! Free with no OOP!
How odd… I actually tried to check out with a $4.85 total and the gift card would not go through, but once I got my total over $5 it went through. Maybe it just depends on the store?
Gymboree in Cheektowaga NY has sock/underwear sale. I just called. Thank you! Heading there tonight after dinner.
Gymboree in Pembroke Pines is having the sale as well, just called!
Check the jeans. The sticker was 18.00 and when I went to the counter they were 7.00 each! Their was plenty of jeans that were like that at my store (Coral Springs).
Yay!! That’s great news! 🙂
Great video Collin. I’m not really a mall person either. Its a lot of work to go to the mall with 2 little ones so I much rather shop online (in my pajamas :)) I will go though when there is a hot sale or if the hubby wants to go. Thanks for all of your hard work with these videos.
You rock!
You are so welcome!
Was wondering when you received your LL Bean catalog? I’ve been on their mailing list for years, but haven’t received one this month yet. Thank you!!
I received my last one about a week and 1/2 ago.
Cammie, I’m in Utah and we got one yesterday. So, maybe yours is still on the way. 🙂
Got mine yesterday in Arkansas.
I used my $5 Office Depot Wrapp on shipping tags that I will use for scrapbooking. 🙂 I agree about VS. I was sad that my favorite cotton underwear are $9.50 and not $10.50 (that sounded not right to say)…but I’m not sure my $10 cards will work on the $9.50 pairs. ??? I hate the mall, too…thank you. Amazon all the way, Baby!
Pretty sure you don’t have to use the whole balance in one transaction, but I don’t think you can use 2 on one item. So if you had 2 cards, and you want to buy 2 things, one under $10 and one over $10 – you *should* be able to use both cards in the same transaction and the remainder of one will go toward the 2nd. But if you have to do 2 separate transactions, you would not be able to use the one w/the remainder on the 2nd item over $10. At least from my experience, hope that makes sense.
It doesn’t have to be a purchase over $10 to use the $10 card…the $9.50 panty works out great…usually just a few pennies of tax left after you use $10 reward card…..Happy shopping 🙂
I bought a lip gloss for $7.50…I thought it was $12 but it rang up cheaper. The cashier gave me the change in cash…I was pretty shocked.
We just bought tons of socks and underwear at gymboree and even bought extra to donate because the sale was so good
I LOVE your videos!!! They always make me happy. I still remember that one of you dancing outside your home. More crazy dancing please!!! 😉
You are the best! And ya…Victoria Secrets is way too expensive. I agree. Glad to know I’m not the only one who noticed…
I’ll keep your dancing request in mind! 😉
Thank you! Luv the videos Collin. Keep them coming 🙂
You are welcome! And glad to hear you enjoy the videos! 🙂
Thank you Collin I just scored a free hat free LL Bean !! You’re the Best !! Thank you again 🙂
Yay! Love that you were able to score a FREE hat!
Just a heads up, but the $1.99 hair accessories and $2.99-$3.99 socks and undies sale is showing up online for me! 🙂 Awesome deal since my closest Gymboree is 45 minutes away.
Collin, it looks like you’re taking a break in your workday, ha! ha!
Great video, Collin. I love your coat! and everything in the video. I’m gonna check Gymboree today! Thanks!:)
You’re welcome! 🙂
The gymboree deal is also online, but the multi-packs of socks/underwear are not showing up at $1.99 – only single pair.
I agree with you about Victorias Secret! It is crazy how expensive it is in the store and online you can get some great deals. I love your videos and how funny you are. When my friends go with me shopping they think Im silly all the time! Life it to short why not have fun!
I have 2 Victorias SRC that I would love to trade for LL Bean codes if anyone wants to? They are both valued at $10
Also would take Amazon or starbucks… Make me an offer!!!
my email is lauramariewyatt (at) gmail.com
Hi Collin!
The other day when i went into Victoria Secret to redeem my gift card, they happen to have an AWESOME sale going on. It was one 3 pack of V string panties for only 5$! So with my 10 dollar gift card i got 2, and i only paid 10.86 with tax 😀
Nice find! 🙂
Really OT but Gymboree shipping is so so slow. I always say never again and then 6 months later, I give it another go!!
Dang, I just left the mall and didn’t know about the Gymboree deal. 🙁 Maybe, I can con my sister into stopping in there, it’s crazy crowded!!
Really cute! I’m not a mall shopper either but I need to go to Gymboree! Great finds!
Love your videos! I found really cute back boots at gymboree for 9.99 as well! Awesome!
I was wondering how did you get your Barnes & Noble toy coupon. I have a B&N MasterCard but didn’t get a coupon. Was it an e-mail? If so do you remember what the subject line was? Thanks!
Well aren’t I the dork, I just read how to get it up there! Doh!
😉
I searched some of the comments but didn’t see it answered anywhere. Where did you get your bag? It is so cute and LOVE your haircut!!! It looks so cute on you!
Thanks, Jane! 🙂 I have actually had that handbag for so long…but still love it! I got it as a gift from my dad a few years back.
Just got home from Barnes and noble. All Thomas trains and accessories are 30% off and then I used the $10 coupon- awesome deals on Thomas which NEVER goes on sale!!!
That’s awesome! What a great way to make use of this coupon! 🙂
$1.99 gymboree sale wasn’t marked at my store but was indeed ON! This was Murfreesboro, TN.
Yay! 🙂
We actually just returned from the mall. Our VS had $10 long sleeve shirts. So we got 2 for my daughter, 2 $10 perfumes, and 1 Pure seduction 3pc set (Mist/Lotion and body wash) for $15. We also had $10 JcPenney coupon that I bought wash clothes with and at Sears picked up stocking stuffers for my husband with the free $5/5000 pts. Thanks so Much!!!
Really I just want to know where you got that fantastic coffee table of yours, Collin!!
On WestElm.com – And yes, I did use a promo code and waited for a sale! 😉
Thanks! I went to Gymboree and got 2 packs of 3 pack undies, two bow hair clips and a red knit Xmas dress for under $9.00 oop. I had a 20 percent off and a $5 reward
Awesome! 😀
i just called the hicksville, ny location…no sale on socks and undies:(
as for the b&n deal i got a hero factory lego toy:)))
What did u get at VS
I got a hand lotion for $10, so FREE after one of the reward cards and a lip gloss that was $12, so $2 after the second reward card.
I couldn’t believe how pricey the stuff was in-store and how little I ended up getting for a little over $20 (before the reward cards were applied).
My hubby and i snagged a coffee grinder for 2 dollars after the gift card from wrapp! We thought it was going to be at least 12 but it was on clearance for 7! Most awesome deal ever!
Was the stock pretty good at the Gymboree store you were at (it is the store I would be going to)? I will head to the mall for that price, but dont want them to be cleared out if this has been going on for a bit! Thanks!
Yep… it seemed to be really well stocked when I was there yesterday. Note that prices aren’t marked, but they do ring up for $1.99.
