It's That Time! Bath and Body Works Semi-Annual Sale

I wanted to update you all on the AMAZING sale going on at one of my favorite stores, Bath and Body Works. They have their Semi-Annual Sale right now, and let me tell you, the savings are amazing!

First off, they have their Signature Collection Classics body care items, like lotion and shower gel, for only……$3! The regular price of these is usually $9.50, so this is a steal!

They also have some awesome items for 75% off. There are also some great things for 50% off. I have seen some great items, like lotions, body splashes, and shower gels at amazing prices. If you don’t know, Bath and Body Works has great high-quality products, and they hardly have sales like this, so take this opportunity to stock up.

So here’s what I got when I went:

From left to right:

• Secret Wonderland body lotion (2 oz.). This was on sale for 75% off, so it was only 87 cents!!! I love this scent!
• Japanese Cherry Blossom Foaming Sanitizer. These were on sale for only $1. They also had a spray style sanitizer. I like to keep this in my purse for going out.
• Berry Vanilla lotion. I got this for free, using this coupon for a free Signature Collection travel size item with any purchase! You can use this on their travel size sprays and shower gels as well.
• Twilight Wood stackables. I love these. Bath and Body Works recently came out with these, so it’s strange to see them on sale, but they were only $1.75!
• The last two items are full-size body lotions that were part of the $3 deals. I got scents in Plumeria and Night-Blooming Jasmine.

There is also a coupon you can use, besides the one above, that you can use for an even better deal. Use this coupon to save 20% on a purchase of $25 or more. So hurry and stock up!!!

Remember, if you don't have a Bath and Body Works near you, there are also deals online.


What did you get, or what are you planning on getting?

Online Deals: Groupon

Today’s spotlight will be on a site similar to Livingsocial. Check out the post I did about it here. The way Groupon works is that every day, they post different deals depending on your location. They offer very deep discounts on places in your area, and oftentimes online. You simply purchase the deal, for instance $10 for $35 worth of food at a restaurant, and they will send you a voucher to redeem at the store (or online). I have found this site to have some amazing deals on things I would buy anyway. The really cool thing about Groupon is that you can buy multiple deals and give them as gifts.

Today only (Monday), they are offering a great deal for $35 worth of mineral makeup from e.l.f. Cosmetics for only $15. This is such an amazing deal because e.l.f. already offers great quality cosmetics at low prices. On top of that, e.l.f. Cosmetics are offering $1.98 shipping right now! You can buy one deal for yourself and multiples for gifts. Also, this Groupon expires on December 14, so it would make the best holiday gift. If you are not a member of this must-have site, sign up here. If you cannot find the deal in your area, change the location to Portland, Oregon, and the deal should show up on the left-hand side. It does not matter since it is an online deal.

Hurry, this deal is only good today!!

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog!!
Saving money has always been my forte. I have found that being frugal does not have to be about living with less and giving up the small pleasures in life.
I am currently a college student, so I know firsthand that sometimes people feel that they have to give up small things because they can't afford it. I am here to dispel all of that and to tell you that you can get the most out of life by learning my secrets. Unlike the other deal sites out there, I want to focus my site on the younger generation and young adults. This is the most important stage of your financial life, and it also when money is the toughest.
Here, I will update you on the latest and best deals around, from fashion to groceries. I will share all of my spots for the best deals and will even show you how to earn a few bucks. You won't miss a thing!
