I left my coupons at home and managed to save 63%!


Today I went out and decided I was only going to one place to use one specific coupon.  I did not feel like toting around my binder since this was just a retail trip and I figured I'd take only the coupon I needed. This was the $15/$15 Lane Bryant coupon my mom sent me.  I convinced myself it would be fine, and headed out. I had an appointment first, and while there I realized, "I really do need a FEW things for our trip to L.A. this weekend. I think I have another coupon for LB in my BINDER! Crap! What if I go to the store and need the other one too?!"  Now you may think, "What's the problem? Just go home and get it."  Easier said than done... my appointment is 1/2 hr N from home, the store is 10mins W from there, and home is 20mins S of the store! So going home for a coupon I might have then going back to the store is just a little inconvenient.

When I got to the store I asked if there was a $25/$75 coup out right now (that would have been the one at home).  The cashier said there was and I explained my situation.  She said they had an extra one at the store I could use if I got to $75... score! Also, if you sign up for the store charge card you get a bonus 20% more off this week instead of just 15% (plus you earn points for gift checks)!  I wasn't sure if I had one already, but I kept this in mind for checkout.

So now I had the opportunity to use both and get up to $40 in FREE bonus clothes! I browsed the clearance rack to try and score a freebie w/the $15/$15, but I really needed jeans.  Lucky for me they were on sale this week and I found a pair I liked. They were $29.99 on sale from $59.99.  I took one more look around and found a top on clearance for $29.99 marked down from $49.95.  This was WAY more than i would normally pay for clearance, but it was perfect for this trip. Darn-it! Now, if I am gonna spend $60 I might as well "spend" $15 more and bring my total down to $50. So all I could find that was suitable was a top for $54.95 and not on sale :(  Naturally, when I tried it on, it looked fabulous.  So I'm thinking great, here's what I'll do: two shirts w/$25 coup; jeans w/$15 coup.  Then one of the girls tells me the jeans look too BIG! While this is welcome news, they are the ONLY pair in petite near my size and are a great price... but I'm going to L.A., gotta look good.  I try on the next size down and they fit perfectly, just way too long and $10 more, sigh.  While I could hem them, I would rather get what I'm paying for right from the store.  We call a store I will be near tomorrow and they have them in petite! Horray! They put them aside for me and I go on to buy the 2 shirts and save my $15 coup for later.

At the register the girl checks to see if I have a store charge, I couldn't remember. I did, but not anymore, so I re-signed up.  They were super nice and helped me with everything.  She rang up the $25 coup then my extra 20% and brought the total down to $46.86 from $114.45 (59%)*!  Since I was getting the extra 20% off I decided to go pick up my jeans today.  I drove 15 more mins N to the mall.  They had my jeans and on sale for $39.99, but the manager was giving me a hard time about the 20%. She said it is only on your FIRST purchase, not any purchases made same day.  She offered to give me $15 off instead of $8 (the 20%) and I was fine with that if I could still use my coup, but she was trying to use the same coupon to do that and you can't use 2.  I asked if there was a corporate #, and argued that I took the time to come all the way over here b/c I was told I would get the 20%, and that that plus my coupon would be $23 NOT $15, big difference...  She managed to find a way to make it work ;) My total was brought down to $21.81 from $65.45 (66%)*!  Then I was able to pay my charge off right there at the store, so no card balance looming but I still got the benefit!

Buzzing Burt's Bees!

Bzz Kit Recieved 10/1/11
This week I recieved my Burt's Bees Sensitive Skin BzzAgent Kit!  I was lucky enough to receive a full size Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin Facial Cleanser and a full size Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin Daily Moisturizer to try myself!  I was also sent a BzzGuide filled with information on  Burt's Bees Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin, a booklet of coupons to pass out, and 8 lotion samples with coupons to share!

I am pleased to say I have already tried the product and spread some buzz!  I also already enjoy the fresh, clean feeling I get after washing and moisturizing with the Burt's Bees Sensitive Skin products.  While I usually use scented products, this is a refreshing change of pace.  Without scent, Burt's Bees Sensitive Skin is a lot more practical if you or someone you love is sensitive to perfumed products.  I also noticed how clear my skin is this week already... I could get used to that!!! So far a big thumbs up for Burt's Bees Sensitive Skin line!
