Archive for February, 2009

Back in early January I went on a clothes-trying-on trip; I’d seen a couple of the Thakoon by Target line items that I liked so I made sure they were the right size…and promptly put them back. The second trip was to try on their flip-flops so I knew for sure what size fit me (turns out I’m in-between, unfortunately enough).

I decided to wait on purchasing, since I had just started Swagbucks, and was counting on the $20.00 e-gift-card being earned before they all went out of stock (which it was). AND,  as it turned out, all my items went on clearance, plus I found a $5/$50 promo link and free shipping. So earlier this week I put in my order for:

This Thakoon by Target sweater.
Original Price: $29.99
Clearance Price: $20.99

This Thakoon by Target White Pleated Shirt.
Original Price: $22.99
Clearance Price: $11.49

This pair of flip-flops. I really just needed to get above $50.00, all my flip flops have holes in the bottom, and I know I’ll need about 6 pairs this summer. So one down!
Original Price: $9.99
Clearance Price: $6.99

This Target belt, which I haven’t seen in person, so I hope is of at least normal Target-quality. It wasn’t on sale, but my normal-worn-every-day-for-two-years belt is giving out.
Price: $14.99

Pre-Everything Price: $66.46
Sale Prices: $54.46
Minus $5.00: $49.46
After $20 e-gift card/Total OOP: $29.46

Not bad, for only waiting a few weeks…and I get to scratch all four items off my summer shopping list!

Tidbits

Ugh, what an exhausting week! And even worse, it’s been one where nothing really gets done that’s noticeable. Anyways, my apologies for lack of posts, but I plan to have Shaws and Stop & Shop up tomorrow (night, I should specify), God-willing.

As sort of a random update, I DID end up calling our post office since we again didn’t get the circulars. My local branch called back while I was at work, so hopefully that’ll get resolved tomorrow, and I can blog Shaws/Market Basket/Stop & Shop all at once before they appear online!

But for now, coupons are clipped and ready, the dishes are done, pork chops are thawing, I was able to complete a PineCone Research survey (after cashing my first check from them today), and I have lots of blog posts “in the hopper” as my husband would say. So I suppose that’ll do for now.

Two minor FYI notes:
1.) Watch your inboxes…I got a $5/$30 CVS coupon today!

2.) Ideeli ( http://www.ideeli.com/invite/nesaving ) is having a limited-time only Lanvin tote giveaway…sign up and enter while you can!

Menu Plan Monday

menuplanmondaygraphic

Last week we actually did pretty well staying on menu-track…the only thing we didn’t have was the pork chops (and I forget why…more leftovers?). So for this week:

Monday: Spaghetti with meatballs
Tuesday: I’m at class (leftovers/Trader Joes)
Wednesday: Bible Study (eat out)
Thursday: Chicken Caesar Salad
Friday: Let’s try those rosemary grilled pork chops with stuffing and corn again.
Saturday: Taco Night!
Sunday: Meatloaf with baked potatoes*

*I’m glad I tried to post the recipe…I can’t find it anywhere! I love, love, love our family’s version (no ketchup!) and have a hard time eating most other kinds. Looks like an email to mom is in order!

I wish I could have days like this about once a month…that would be just right. I went to the mall today, with all the joy of a normal shopping spree. I tripped along to the house music, smelled the ubiquitous cologne-counter smells, bumped into millions of slow-walking, hand-holding teenagers, even tried on clothes and a few pairs of shoes. And though I came home with stuff, I spent exactly $0.00. The thrill of a mall trip with none of the spending!

I first picked up the Night Health Bedtime Balm at the Macy’s Origins counter–it’s tiny, but apparently contains 10 nights worth. And, amusingly enough, is really an aromatherapy cream that tries a bit too hard—not one with age-fighting, dermo-whatever qualities. The “acupressure technique” instruction card that came with it had some gems:

Step 1: “…apply to hollow at the base of the skull (The Wind Mansion point). Gently massage 3 circles forward, then 3 circles backward.” There are four steps, in which you’ll also learn that the crease between your palm and wrist in line with your little finger is The Spirit Gate. Too funny.

Then, I swung by Victoria’s Secret for the Free PINK Energizing Organic Body Lotion; it’s a nice, medium-weight cream with a citrus scent. I love the 1 oz size; perfect to use as a “purse cream!”

As I was walking past The Body Shop, I noticed a free sample center set up there as well…so of course, dropped by, and received a sample each of their Seaweed Cleanser and Seaweed Mask.

Walking into LUSH (in anticipation of next Saturday’s VIP party!), one of the employees gave me a free treatment right there in the store, using probably 5 different products. The Ocean Salt is definitely going on my short-list!

Finally, I went to my Clarins Free Facial appointment (I walked into Macy’s  first, got the appointment, then shopped)…and wow, that was SO worth it.

They have a whole little station set up behind a plastic advertisement/privacy wall…you lie down, and they go to work! She used a cleanser, toner, exfoliated, more toner, mask, more toner, and finished with an eye-cream application and SPF moisturizer. It felt sooo nice and relaxing (even in the middle of Macy’s!), and she was very helpful at explaining the benefits of the products without being overbearing.

But wait, there’s more! After that, I went to the MAC counter, where they also had stations set up…and I got a free makeover! The makeup artist matched me up with a foundation (which I HATE doing, so that was very helpful), as well as an eye-shadow color that had their signature “pop!” factor, but wasn’t overbearing on my skin tone. I had her write down both numbers so I can perhaps buy it with my next Swagbucks Gift Card. 😉

I did have to chant “I want to be a SAHM with a house. I want to be a SAHM with a house”  a few times, especially when trying on this Ann Taylor Loft Dress (retail $79.00)

or when encountering some similar J. Crew belts that had MATCHING HEADBANDS:

Sigh. But I’m glad I didn’t spend anything, and I suppose I have a few new sewing goals for before the summer comes. And by that time, all this scrimping will  have allowed us to pay down even more debt. It IS worth it!

Mall Freebie Day!

Tomorrow is my mall day; with all the freebies floating around, I want to be sure to grab whats available before they’re all out completely!

Stop No. 1: *UPDATE* Um, this is for next Saturday.

Sign up for LUSH‘s email list, and you’ll be in the know when and where there’s a VIP party! If you print the email (your “passport”), RSVP , and get there early enough, you get a free bath bomb. Go to both parties listed (in my case the Peabody North Shore Mall and the Burlington Mall parties) on Sat. Feb. 28th, and receive a free Super LUSH VIP bag at your second party.

Stop No. 2:

Origins! For a Free-While-Supplies-Last sample of Dr. Weil’s Bedtime Balm with coupon.

Stop No. 3:

For a free 1 oz. sample of PINK Body with Organic Ingredients with this coupon.

Stop No. 4:

For a FREE, complimentary, one-to-one facial (coupon here) ! Eek! Who knows how good it’ll be, but considering I’ve never had anything CLOSE to a facial before, I’m figuring now’s as good a time as any!

I won’t be doing these Bath & Body Works deals, but there’s also a Free Bath & Body Works Body Gel with $10.00 purchase coupon available, as well as a Free B&BW Aromatherapy item with $13.00 purchase coupon.

Depending on how long all that takes me, I may or may not hit CVS and Walgreens this week…have to have some time to study!

Hat tip to Deal Seeking Mom for the deals after LUSH.
