I believe I've heard one should not apologize for abscence or give excuses, but that is just not me. I do want to apologize for not being on the ball with Giant Eagle, especially. I have just not been enamored with the sales lately which in turn makes it difficult for me to post those few deals. Things are crazy around here too, but that's just another excuse and life. So I simply apologize to those that depend on or favor my scenarios to make the deals clearer. I hope you stick with me until I get back into the swing of things. Until then I do want to link you to Cherry Picker's Deals and Updates, but if there are any questions please feel free to drop me a line and I'll be honored to help.

JC Penney: $10 off $10 Coupon Code + Free Shipping Today Only on Shoes

Use Code:TEN2YOU

Boy, is it ever hard to find shoes for under $10 anymore that are leather and decent quality so this $10 and free shipping was nice. I still paid more than I wanted for my teenage boy, but sometimes it has to be. I did find a pair for my youngest that were $10 after the discount so I'm happy there. I'm also willing to pay a few dollars more for black or brown shoes because they stay looking nice, for the most part, until those are outgrown.



If you click the link above there is a pair of sandals that you can score for $1.99!

Torrid is offering $10 off $10 or more. Code: BTDM710

What I love about Torrid is that they use real Plus Size Models not "plus" read size 8 models. You really get a great idea how the clothes look on you. Right now there's a lot on Clearance and if you're not plus size there is jewelry and purses, oh and shoes too that might interest you. Shipping and Handling is extra.


Thanks,Hip2Save

I'm always seeing Nutiva's Amazon Sale being announced in the the blogosphere so I thought I'd update the price chart by breaking it down per ounce.  Amazon sale is always on two 15 ounce jars and my prices reflected gallons because that is how I normally purchase it. We use it for cooking, baking and skincare; it goes fast!


The thing is I always ask myself what exactly is the difference and do others want to buy a whole gallon at a time.  I do list all the different types here, but I'm highlighting the coconut oil type found on Amazon for easy reference. If you ever need to come back and check this post you can type coconut oil in the search bar on your right.


If you want to know more about the different extraction methods you will find it in my post: Coconut Oil Comparison.

I live rather far from IKEA, but I do visit from time to time and love having a catalog to give me ideas before I go. Sure, I can use the internet, but there's nothing like having a catalog in your hand to get your creativeness going.

If you live close you most likely know you can pick one up in the store for free.

This is not currently up on the RA website, but will be soon. This PDF is free to all to print and use.  Thanks Eric!

I received a letter from Eric Harkreader stating the new coupon policy. I am awaiting the PDF version to share with you. There is a disclaimer at the bottom of the email that it can't be reproduced by others, only me so I don't want to post it just yet.  I will fill you in on the changes or what I see as changes.

When returning a purchase that used coupons you will not be reimbursed in cash for the coupon nor will the coupon  be returned.
This one I am so not in agreement. I understand there are those that abuse the system to obtain, but most of us either make a mistake or the store makes a mistake. I'm going to ask about the refund on a giftcard so we will not lose our money or valuable coupon. Otherwise RiteAid is profiting from both which imo is unethical.

Ones we knew, but are now in writing:

You can combine a Manufacturer Coupon "5" with a RA Coupon "48" with a RA MC "49" as long as the amount does not go over the price.  If it does the coupon(s) shall be adjusted to the price.

You can also use multiple UP+  and price adjustment can be done in case the UP+ is higher value than purchase price before tax.

I have sworn off all pop or soda or coke for the last two months, but if you are a pop lover like I used to be then you might be able to score two Pepsi Maxes free with this coupon and the peels I've been hearing about. This is diet;I believe.

Today she shares how to get Eyelashes for $.99 or $.09(friends &family). It's amazing what falsies do for your eyes even if you have nice lashes and a great mascara. I prefer the individual lashes as I think those are easier to apply and extremely natural looking as in "Wow, your lashes are beautiful!" It does appear in the picture Fantasy lengths have a pair that will give you this look too.

Now if you want the opposite and wowpow lashes, Revlon has a pair for you too.
