I know I have at least one reader that shops Meijer so I wanted to make sure she knew about this deal I read by Megan.   You don't even need coupons, but if you have some the deal is even better!  The details are on her blog, but a little peek ahead of time is the coffee works out to as little as $.79/10-12oz can without coupons and $.29 with coupons. Plus you can roll the catalina!  Now that's what I call a stockpile price and would be great for a gift basket too.  I would totally buy that at $.29/can just to perk and smell since I don't drink it. LOL 

Focusing on the Bible, Family and the Great Deals

Wow! What a afternoon and evening. I think I was in GE for a total of three hours! Some of that time was spent on waiting and letting others go ahead since I had a huge order and they wanted to do it at customer service. The store was crazy busy as many were worried about the weather to come.  I just have to say I love my store. I had the best customer service people today.  One has been a favorite from the first time I met her, Jennifer.  She is always bubbly.  Okay onto my trip.  I did a total of 9 transactions at CS and one at the regular checkout.  I'm going to lump all my spending and savings into one total then I'll probably post a sampling picture as there is just way too much to organize. lol

I decided to take a chance on The Conservatorie's Foundation Base and Foundation Color Blend.  I bought an ounce of the Premium Base, 1 tsp Premium Plus Base  and 1 tsp Warm Color Blend.   I also bought some silicone gel for $1.50.  So with the sale I spent under $15 including s&h for 30g of foundation. This is a great deal if you don't mind mixing your own custom shade.  It comes out to $.50/g which is about a third of the cost of pre-made foundations from companies that I've previously mentioned.  Bare Escentuals Minerals,you get about 9g for $25 so you'd pay $75 to get what I did for $15.  

I tried the Premium Plus first. I used 1 tsp of it to 1/32 t (little tiny white scoop)of color blend.  I am quite fair for reference. If you are average skintone you may need a scoop and a half.  It's simple to adjust if you use the little spoon for both the base and the color and keep notes.  The Premium Plus has a nice coverage and not heavy at all. The Warm Blend is quite warm so if you are a beige you might need to mix the Cool and Warm or try the Cocoa Blend.  You'll want around a 10g or 20 g jar to put your tsp or two of foundation.

The Silicone Gel is to give one's skin a smooth appearance. I've tried it in the past and didn't notice a difference so I tried it again and nope no difference for me, but others love it.

The one downside to ordering from The Conservatorie is their customer service. They lack greatly in answering any questions you send via email. Very disappointing if you're in a hurry to order and not sure on the colors. I'm so used to the owners of pre-made minerals answering quickly and cheerfully.

There is a code out right now for $10 off $10 at JC Penney. If you order now you will pay shipping costs, but if you wait until December 17th which is free shipping day for JCP and other merchants it is highly possible you will get both!  Renee Anthony at HCW was the first to mention the possibility so special thanks to her.

I'm not a coffee drinker. I try it every couple of months or so and usually drink about half before saying bleck. lol  My husband now drinks it once in awhile and it's nice to have on hand to offer to others when they visit so I'm going to try Peet's since I found this $2 IP and "Pittsburgh24" mentioned it was on sale at GE this week for $6.99.  So for $4.99 I think that's an okay deal for a pound of "good" coffee. It's regular price is $9.99 which seems comparable to Millstone at Wal-Mart.  I hope you can find a great deal on Peet's and I hope it tastes great, well great for coffee that is!  ;)
