Awhile back I wrote a post about E.L.F. makeup and how much I have grown to love it. The only drawback to this makeup was I could only buy it online and the shipping was a little pricey for $1 items.

Well, while I was grocery shopping the other day, I came upon a new display full of the products I love most from their line! And the best part is that they are just $1 there too!

Check your local store to see if they have brought this to your area too!

These are such a neat idea and a great deal at that! There are so many situations where these will come in handy, especially when you have your hands full or don't have a pen in your purse!

These would also make a cute inexpensive gift for a new mom :)

Awhile back I had the opportunity to try out some of E.L.F. (Eyes, Lips, Face) product for free. I was skeptical at first because most of the items on their website are only $1, and I thought "This is probably one of those times I will get what I pay for" but I was wrong! I have come to love their pressed powder and eyeshadows!

First let me be honest, I don't wear a lot of makeup and I have fairly sensitive skin; But I never had any problems with breaking out or it drying out my skin! In fact, this is my preferred brand now. They have sales going on all the time and sometimes they even have codes for free shipping!

Here are some of the current coupon codes:

FACEBOOK -for 50% off order up to $15

FREEFIVE -$5 off any order

35SHPFREE - Free Shipping on $35+ Order

Click the image above to go to their website!

There are many more things that have been extremely reduced - see for yourself here, scroll to the bottom of the page and search from Highest to Lowest percentage off

Today must be the day for good deals!

Let me show you how to get the best deal on this:

First you will need to go to Ebates and click to shop through Clinique.com on their site. Then click this Clinique.com link(must use that link to get the offer, you will have 2 windows open) and choose your 7 piece gift first, then add $21.50 or more of products to your bag. Now go back to the 1st window you opened (from Ebates) and click on your shopping bag in the top corner) and it will pull up all the items in your cart. Enter code FSEMAIL at the bottom of the page for free shipping and proceed to checkout like normal. This ensures that you will get the 4% back that Ebates is offering right now.

When I added the items (I selected 2 of the Mild Clairifying Lotions $11.50) to my cart, a couple other items showed up for free in there too: a Pink Ribbon Pin and a bookmark. My total was $23 + $1.90 tax.

UPDATE:
Mr. Rebates is offering 5% cash back on Clinique, so you could do the same deal above through them and get even more back on your purchase!

There is a promo code for $10 off a $10 purchase! This will make for some very inexpensive items. Use SWEETS4U at checkout!

We are looking to buy a new flatware set, so I looked at what they have on their site - I was excited to see a 45 piece set on clearance for $39.99 (was $119.99). With the $10 off coupon it is now $29.99 + you can shop through Ebates and get 3% cash back, or use Mr. Rebates for 2% cash back. Shipping was $6 to my local store + $3 tax - but even at just under $40 for this isn't a bad deal at all!

I'm sure there are tons of things on the site that you could get very inexpensively with this coupon and shopping through Ebates or Mr. Rebates.

There are several books on Amazon.com right now that have been drastically reduced -

$700 Billion Bailout by Paul Muolo is only .87¢!

Starting Out in the Evening by Brian Morton is only .73¢

Twelve Rounds to Glory: The Story of Muhammad Ali is only $1.41

The Golden Compass: Movie Storybook .81¢

Unchecked and Unbalanced $1.98

You can get free shipping if you are an Amazon Prime Member or spend $25. You could also redeem some Swagbucks for Amazon gift certificate codes. These would make some very nice, inexpensive Christmas gifts!

I noticed the other day that the ink in my printer is getting pretty low, which usually means I will be going to the local InkSell because I end up waiting until it's too late to buy them anywhere else.

Well, this time in my efforts to be proactive, I priced them on 123inkjets and they were cheaper - but if you shop through Ebates, you will get 16% cash back!! You can also use the coupon code AUTUMN09 to get 10% off, or you can use the code 20save (which the site says it expired on 6/1/09, but it still works) will give you 20% off your purchase.

If you are not already a member of Ebates, you can get a $5 bonus just for signing up!

If you are a new member, type "123inkjets" in the search bar at the top and then click the red "Shop Now" button. This will open a tracking ticket, and allow your ebate to be properly credited within 2-3 days.

In my spare time, I have been deal hunting for the large ticket items we still needed. I think I have done pretty good, although I haven't been able to cross everything off my list.

Big Item #1 - The Fridge


I have had my eye on the Samsung Bottom Freezer Refrigerator for quite some time now, but couldn't bear the thought of paying $1200 +tax & delivery for it. (Freezer space isn't a top concern for me since we have a deep freeze - I'm looking for functionality.) After looking and getting the word out that I am in the market to buy one of these, I found one about 2 weeks later. The sweet lady I had been introduced to was being relocated for work and was selling everything in her house, and she had the exact refrigerator I wanted. She sold it to us for $500, and it was only 1 year old.

Big Item #2 - The Lawn Mower


Good golly, I had no idea how expensive these things could be! On top of that, I have very limited knowledge of what makes one lawn mower better than the others... We were browsing through Home Depot a few weeks back and my love pointed to a lawn mower and said "I want that one!" After I realized he was pointing to the $350 (most expensive on the shelf) one, I said "We need to look around more".

So, I started doing my homework by searching the internet, asking my father, and reading tons of reviews about each mower we considered. We figured out what features were most important to us and narrowed it down to just a couple of options. The final decision was made by what store I could get the better price at.

The mower pictured above is the one we decided on. It is a Craftsman 21" Front Wheel Drive Limited Edition Mower from Sears. (Orig. price was $399.99) During the Columbus 3 day Sale, they had it on sale for $289.99. I paired this sale with a coupon code for $5 off a $50 purchase, but it ended up taking $5 off every $50 - for a total of $25. I applied a $5 gift card I had received through AdPerk a long time ago - that brought the total to $259.99, and we picked it up from the store so we didn't have to pay shipping. I made the deal even sweeter by making the purchase through eBates, which right now is giving 4% back! All together, that $400 mower ended up costing $250.

FYI - this mower is still on sale for $110 off the original price! We have already tested it out and it is a great mower. I am very happy with the investment of our time and money we made into a quality machine that will last.
