Champagne Taste...Bud Light Budget!

Sidewalk sales...sort of

2009-06-25T11:03:00.003-05:00

Just thought I'd share that there are several places around town/online that are having killer sales...

-Pottery Barn and Pottery Barn kids at Town Center - indoor sidewalk sale starting Friday at 9am. Bannon and I went in yesterday and got a sneak peek at a few of the items they were marking down - whoa! Picture frames that were ~20 were like $2! Christmas ornaments for like a buck each...the saleslady said that they had a ton of stuff coming in from their distribution center, too. I. Can't. Wait.

-77kids.com - this is the American Eagle for kids. All clearance items are $7.77. Score! I got Reese two dresses and a pair of pants and Bannon got her kids three things - we combined our order and split the shipping...it was like $30 each - maybe a little less. Good deal for good quality, trendy clothing!

-The Body Shop is having an amazing sale - some of their makeup is 3/$10 and other items are on clearance for like 75% off. Nice little things to stock up on for teachers gifts, stocking stuffers, etc. Not sure if this is in stores as well, but I know it's online. Worth the shipping for the savings!

-White House Black Market at Town Center is having a big sale. They had sale racks outside for like 60% off. These are nice clothes and, if you know me, you know I heart black!

-It's the Victoria's Secret semi-annual sale...25-50% off.

-Gymboree is having the Big Red Balloon Semi-Annual Sale, Carters and OshKosh are having a $3.99 clearance sale - plus I have a 20% off coupon (email me if you want me to forward it to you), so go outfit the little munchkins for summer, back to school, etc.

Alright, I think that's it for now...I'll let you know if I find more! Happy shopping!!

Wednesday night, June 3rd, Sonic is giving away free 10oz. Root Beer Floats from 8pm-midnight. YUM!

I totally scored at Beauty Brands the other day. I'm part of their mailing list, so they send me coupons for FREE stuff about once a month or so. This month, it is for Matrix Biolage Body Wash - as shown here. Can I just say that I LOVE this stuff?! Smells great and washes so nicely...very moisturizing...I could go on and on! FREE with coupon with any purchase - including salon/spa purchases. So, here' the scoop: I got my brows waxed - $12. I used my coupon for the free body wash - retail value of ~$10. On the receipt, there is a survey to call and get a code - you get $5 off a $5 purchase - that's like a free bottle of OPI nail polish!! LOVE it! So, for my $12, I got my brows waxed, a full-sized bottle of body wash and a $5 coupon to use on my next purchase. I heart Beauty Brands!! If you're not on their mailing list, SIGN UP! http://www.beautybrands.com/

And finally...last night we went to Gambino's Pizza in Tonganoxie. I was craving some pizza and Gambino's is good, not greasy and they have a decent salad bar. Anyway, on Tuesday nights, they have medium one topping pizzas for the price of the time. So, we got our pizza for like $6.52 or something like that! A whole fresh pizza for less than $7? Can't go wrong there! And, BONUS, they even let us do 1/2 and 1/2 for no additional charge! YAY!

Hi y'all. I'd like to think that I had this wonderful idea of starting a blog so friends and family could keep up with my life, BUT, then I'd be a liar, now wouldn't I? Nope...what really happened is that some of my closest gals - namely Cori and Traci - are these amazing bloggers and they turned me on to it (aka peer pressure is a bitch). Now, I can't quite say that I have enough adventure in my life to blog about my daily activities; however, I do love to shop and find a good deal, so I thought that might be a great thing to blog about. I'm sure I'll add in the occasional post about something Reese said or did...I mean, she is 3 after all and she keeps it real. Real and interesting. ;)

On the weekends, you can usually find Reese and I shopping somewhere. Now, let me start by saying we're not rich, nor do we have a lot of money. Aron doesn't even have a job for Pete's sake...but, that's a whole other blog! ;) Anyway, like I said, I love to shop. But, I'm more about finding a good deal - something totally cheap, bargain or FREE!! It's all about the hunt for a good bargain. I tend to buy things I don't need at the moment - sometimes in bulk - just because it's a good deal. Typing this makes me think that I might need to seek professional help. So, anyway, stay tuned and check back often...I'll post things as I find them.

Deal of the day: Free breakfast sandwich at Sonic: http://www.sonicdrivein.com/croissonic Enjoy!
