75% Off Lord & Taylor

Friday, January 22, 2010 Edit This 0 Comments »
Lord & Taylor is having a sale online and in store. I saw some very cute strappy highheels marked down to $25, men's chino shorts were around $13,  a few other nice kids' deals, plus the baby department, 2pc baby boys for only $7.49 and then the lowest price item I found was a cute little three piece baby girl outfit for $5.96 that would make great gifts.
http://www.lordandtaylor.com/_static/webUpload/731/61088_61088_236_5.jpg http://www.lordandtaylor.com/_static/webUpload/731/54965_54965_688_5.jpg

Those are the prices before the additional 20% off.  The Promo Code is Take2 and shipping is free for orders $99 or more otherwise it starts at $5.95.

The best news, I think,  is you can print out the coupon and use it in the store so no shipping and handling if you just want a few lower priced items. I've never personally bought anything from L&T, but I imagine they're similar to other stores where I often find more bargains and selection in the store than online.

Rebates~Last Call

Wednesday, January 20, 2010 Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
 http://thm-a01.yimg.com/nimage/bc490e69220d16f0

I wanted to share the rebates that need to be mailed in very soon all in one post.  A couple of the Olay need to be purchased by Sunday.  Here are the ones I've been busy filling out:








Nabisco Keep the Jingle in Your Holiday $10 wyb 10

I spent out of pocket:

$12.50 Olay Quench ($11.99 drugstore.com +$.49 RA)
 $.05 Olay Regenerist ($tax Manu and Store Coupons)
-$5.50 Glade Candles ($1.75 tax oop-$7.25)
 $16 Planters/NabiscoKraft ($30-5q-$25cats receive $16 catalinas)
=$23.05
-$59.48 MIR
=$36.43 Profit and $100+ in Merchandise

How I calculate my profits I take the actual amount I spent out of pocket+ (catalinas spent-catalinas earned) could be ECBs or RRs in other instances then substract my Rebate or Cash going back into my pocket.  To get accurate figures one must count the rewards spent too because usually at one time or another real cash was spent. I hope that made sense. It's easier to show with ECBs or RRs.

Hot Coupon`Sunbelt

Tuesday, January 19, 2010 Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
This is from Facebook so it is legit. I wasn't so sure at first! Thanks MoJo Savings for sharing this information.

Sunbelt is offering a BOGOF coupon for their Granala, Fruit and Grain Bars!  This is the brand I used to always buy before going coupon crazy. The regular price was hard to beat and everyone enjoyed the granola bars.
I can't believe Sunbelt is offering this fabulous coupon, but they are and if memory serves me correct you should be able to score two boxes for about $1.29 or $1.59.

I just study the coupon and this is for the Family Packs priced between $2.19 and $2.59 so about $1.10 -$1.30 each.  My search online found only found one size and it contains 8 bars so now I'm not too thrilled about this deal. It would be okay if we were in a pinch and needed some travel food, but when I've bought Kellogg's Bars for as little $.17 for a box of 6 it's hard to stay excited about this.  I know every area and family is different so I hope this is a great deal for someone.

Lumiere Brush Regrets

Tuesday, January 19, 2010 Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
I know I don't have a lot of followers and the ones I do I'm not even sure if they are that interested in mineral makeup and brushes, but just incase someone is I wanted to share this:


I now regret not buying the Travel Kabuki! What was I thinking? I've been wanting a soft travel kabuki for a long time now.  I was thinking I'm already spending money on brushes that I don't need, could really use though and to feed my want of every brush to match. The fact that the kabuki is not my favorite for applying foundation, but a flat top or buffer brush is and a kabuki is slightly dense for my liking of powder application and slightly large for blush.  Also I don't travel much.  Hello Maria!  When I do travel with makeup this travel kabuki would be perfect.


 http://www.lumierecosmetics.com/images/products/preview/pbb11.jpg
 photo credit: lumierecosmetics.com


This is why if you order you should get a travel kabuki:
  • Self Contained~Clean
  • Half Way Out of Tube~ Heavier Foundation Application (like a buffer)
  • Three-Quaters Out~Blush Application
  • All the Way Out~Powder Application
  • Takes Up Less Space~Great for Purse
In between each product one can wipe excess product on a tissue or baby/facial wipe.  In a pinch one could even use it to wash on some eye shadow.  I know I've used my Kabuki as a shadow blender in the past.

Lumiere Pre-Buy Brushes!

Monday, January 18, 2010 Posted In , Edit This 0 Comments »
Only a couple of days left to order!


My sil and I are going in together so I can save on shipping and insurance. I was too money conscience to spend $8 on it, but $4 is okay. lol  I haven't totally decided what I'm getting, but I know I'm getting the small buffer brush, duo fiber brush $7 ,comparable to MAC 187 that commands $42!, duo fiber blush brush, two pencil eye shadow brushes and maybe another brush or two.


The prices are fabulous and the quality is excellent too. I have a Long Handled Kabuki from last year's pre-buy and it is still super soft. All Taklon even the duo fiber which is ofter a mix of synthetic and pony. The only real complaint I have is my shadow brushes from the travel kit poke my eyelid. Those are a little too stiff and dense for my liking.


This time around the brushes are going to be hot pink and black so totally cute and fun if you have a young lady that loves pink. 

The pictures on the site are just samples not the final color. I will take pictures and share my thoughts when I receive those. I'm getting excited now!

Giant Eagle 1/21-1/27 and Scenarios

Monday, January 18, 2010 Posted In Edit This 0 Comments »
Last night I saw a scan of the ad and personally I didn't see too much worth mentioning. The ad was slightly small for my old blurry monitor so maybe I missed something.  I will post if I or anyone else finds a buried treasure this week.  Just know I'm 99% sure you won't be rushing to order coupons or multiple papers.

Joppa 1 Day Only Sale (Offer expires tomorrow 1/19/2010 at midnight) Save 15% off your order of $10 or more... Use discount code "MLK" during checkout.



Ocean Mist Cosmetics 25% Everything this Month Promo Code 2010.

This was my second or third mineral company I tried. The formula has changed slightly which I haven't tried.  What I did try was nice light to medium coverage. The Vanilla shade was perfect.  My mom enjoyed OM's eye shadow as it didn't irritate her eyes like Everyday Minerals did. Overall Ocean Mist is a nice company with a nice line.

Giant Eagle Scenarios 1/14-1/20

Sunday, January 17, 2010 Posted In Edit This 2 Comments »
Here is a sneak peek at the upcoming ad and scenarios. Thanks goes to Pam from HCW for posting the ad. As the week goes on and more deals are found I will put the new deals at the top and every so often change the date of the whole post so it is on the home page. If it isn't on the home page just look to your left at the categories and choose Giant Eagle Scenarios.

More updates thanks to HCW and Cherry Picker.  It appears that most items are going by shelf and the kraft cheese is a double dip. Buy 6 get 3 $4 OYNO and $5 OYNO  Make sure your cheese shelf is $5.19 first. I'll do the scenario below. 

You can also mix and match the other items to reach the $10, but you must buy 5 cheese to get the $5 cat. Remember though that you will only get one kraft cat per transaction even though you get multiple cats for the $10~$4 OYNO deal. Put no more than 5 cheese in a transaction.

Or 2 * $3.49 = $6.98 - $3 (2 * .75/1 Cat Q's) = $3.98 - $1.50 Cat = $2.48/2 or $1.24 ea.

Rite Aid Shopping Trip 1/17

Also being published later tonight.  I a delightful experience trying to exchange wrong size Bayer since I used two coupons. Ugh!
 
Trans 1
1 Bayer Breeze $14.99 ($14.99q)
1 Tampax 40ct $6.99 ($2q)
1 Tampax 18ct $5.29 ($5.29q)
=$27.27+$.47tax
-$5/25
-$22.28

Get back $2 SCR + $12.29 towards P&G

Trans 2
Olay Mousse Cleanser $4.99 ($3)
Olay Mousse Cleanser $4.99 ($3)
2 Bayer Aspirin  $3.98 ($4)

Auto Escape Keychain  $.59
= $25.53 +$1.33 tax
-$5/20
-$14q
=$7.86 oop Get $15 MIR + $9.98 towards P&G

Went to different store to exchange since original store was giving me a hard time. At one point she said forget with the register and said here even exchange. Excuse me how is $10.98 the same as $3.98 even if the store insists on keeping the coupons and subtracting those from the total? It would still be $10.98 vs $7.98.

Exchange $7.45 back so Trans #2 cost $.41 oop

Trans 3

1 Bayer Breeze $14.99 ($14.99q)
1 Tide $5.99($1q)

Trans5
 1 Olay Quench $7.49 ($2q)
1 Bayer Breeze $14.99 ($14.99q)
=$22.48 =$.16tax
-$5/20
-$16.99

Total Oop: $2.16
