CLEVELAND - If you have some last minute shopping to do this weekend, there are still ways to save on everything from clothing to tools. Plus, don't forget the batteries for all those toys. You can save on those too.

Joe Daugirdas aka Joe the Coupon Guy said Ace Hardware is offering tools for $1.99 after $5 rebate. You can choose from a level, utility knife, tape ruler, wood chisel set, screwdriver set, and utility knife blades. One rebate per item.

Kohl's is offering a 30% off code (RUDOLPH30) and $10 Kohls cash with every $50 spent through December 24.

Macy's has a $10 off coupon for a $25 purchase in their ads. That amounts to 40% off with a $25 purchase.

Don't forget the batteries while you are out shopping. OfficeMax and Staples offer Duracell batteries nearly free after Maxperks / Easy Rebate.

At OfficeMax it's like getting the batteries for 1-cent. The store is offering AA and AAA 20-pack batteries for this price. The catch: you have to spend the $16.99 for the batteries and then you get the $16.99 in perks for a future purchase.

At Staples , the 16-pack of AA or AAA Duracell batteries are offered as a 100% reward which means you'll get the money you paid for the batteries back in reward dollars for a future purchase.

While many people are thinking about holiday travel now, start planning your trips for the new year. Megabus is giving away 200,000 free tickets for travel between January 9 and February 28. Enter code TRYMEGABUS.
