P&G Samples available again

If you are a member of PG Brand Sampler, they have a few new samples and coupons available on their site. Currently all I can request is a sample of Tampax, but it could be different for other people. If you are not a member, you can register here and see what offers pop up for you.

NEW BOGO Powerade Coupon

If you weren't able to grab the Buy One Get One Free Powerade coupon I mentioned a couple days ago, then you're in luck. "Like" Powerade on Facebook and you will be able to print a BOGO Powerade Zero coupon directly from them. The one that was available on Coupons.com that I mentioned, is now gone. So print this one if you are interested, I'm sure it will go as fast as the other one did.

$2/1 Biore Cleanser

Biore just finished a Face-Off competition with their most popular facial care products and they finally have a winner! In honor of their Pore Unclogging Scrub being the most popular by voters, Biore is offering a coupon on their Facebook page for $2 off ANY of their cleansers. If you haven't already "Liked" them on Facebook, you will in order to be able to print this coupon.

Comet coupon

Coupons.com just released a great coupon for .25/1 Comet Cleanser, as well as $1/2 Comet Spray Cleansers. That might not seem like a lot, but if your store doubles, it would be .50 off. Not to mention, I see Comet go on sale, somewhat frequently for around a $1 or under so if you wait for a sale you could get some of the powder cleanser pretty cheap.

When you look for the coupon just click on Household and, for me, they were the first two coupons on the page, without a zipcode needed.

New Oscar de la Renta Fragrance

When you "Like" Oscar de la Renta on Facebook, you'll be able to sign up for a free sample of their new perfume, Esprit D'Oscar.

They're saying it'll only take one week to get your sample! Although depending on demand that could probably change at any time.

$2 DiGorno Pizza and Sides

If you missed out on the $4/2 DiGiorno Pizza and Sides coupon that was available this weekend, you can now "Like" DiGiorno on Facebook and get a $2 off coupon for ONE Pizza and Sides Item. This coupon is ONLY AVAILABLE TODAY (4/4), so print it now!

What do YOU splurge on???

I've gotten this question several times:

"There has got to be something you splurge on, what is it?"

The truth is: There isn't much.

There are probably only two things that I splurge on (and I still try to get a good deal on them when I can) and that would be my makeup and my handbags.

I am a Bare Escentuals freak. I have really REALLY oily skin so I've found that a lot of makeup just "goes away" from my face within a couple hours because of the oil. I've even used mineral makeup from less expensive brands, and they are okay, but BE tends to stay on my face better (particularly the Matte formula) plus it covers extremely well. BE is one of those brands that rarely goes on sale and is also considered a "high-end" brand so if stores have a sale/coupon, sometimes BE is excluded from the promotion.

Me being me, though, I try to keep my BE spending under control. I pretty much only use the foundation (which doubles as a concealer), blush, and mineral veil. I also use the brushes that came with the original starter kit. Any other makeup I use, is usually ELF cosmetics or a drugstore brand that I got for a really good deal. Lipstick, eyeshadows, mascara, if I can get them for free or close to it, it kinda makes up for me spending $28 on foundation.


Then.....there is my handbag...problem. I claim this as being genetic; I have a closet full of handbags and if you ever saw my mothers closet (or her mother's closet) it would look eerily similar. I have loved handbags since I was kid and got those little plastic ones from discount stores.

As I've gotten older, and able to buy them for myself, my taste has gotten a little more..."high-end". Well, let's put it this way: a new Coach Factory store was just built about 15 minutes from my house. It just opened about two weeks ago and I have already been there twice. Coach and Dooney and Bourke are my main weaknesses, I must admit.

That being said, I'm all about getting a good deal on them. I own a few Coach bags, but can honestly say, that I have never paid full price for one. One or two I received as gifts, one I found on eBay (Yes, I did have it checked for authenticity) and I have found a couple others on sale and from Outlet Stores. Even the D&B bags, I found a great HUGE one in TJ Maxx for a fraction of it's original price, one on eBay and one was a gift.

Yes, I am one of those people that will say, some of these bags are a bit overpriced, which is why I always try to get a deal on them (that and because no matter what I do, I have yet to justify spending $300 on a bag). But they are great quality bags, I have two of them that I'll use a "book bag" for when I go to class and they withstand all the heaviness I put in them.


Anything else? I really have no problems spending a few dollars for a piece of clothing or cheap haircare or personal care items. I love when I can get a cute pair of shoes really inexpensively. It's more fun, for me, to shop when I know I've gotten a really great deal on something.

$1/1 Toaster Strudel

Smartsource.com coupons have also reset with the month beginning. Now they have an awesome $1/1 Pillsbury Toaster Strudel coupon up. There are usually under $2 at my stores, so with this they would be really really cheap!

40% off The Limited

The Limited has a great coupon if you're planning on heading to the mall this weekend. Through April 3rd, you can get 40% off ANY one regularly priced item (in stores and online). To use online; enter promo code 0869143473644 at checkout.

BOGO Powerade Zero

It is the first of the month, so coupons.com has reset all their coupons for the month of April. With the reset came an awesome Buy One Get One Free Powerade Zero coupon. Just click on the "Beverages" link and it should be on the first page. I see Powerade on sale for 10/$10 a lot, so you could really get some good deals when paired with a sale.
