Bath & Body Works: FREE Lip Item with ANY Purchase! (through 10/31)

.
.  
Bath & Body Works is currently offering a coupon for a FREE Lip Item (up to $8 value) with ANY purchase (valid through 10/31)!  I always try to find the cheapest item they carry when they release these coupons.  For example, they have PocketBack hand sanitizer holders for $.50, which means you get the holder plus an $8 Lip Item for a total of $.50 + tax!  I LOVE these coupons!  The lip items you snag with this coupon would make awesome stocking stuffers or small additions to other Xmas gifts... or just a nice little treat for yourself :)

Friday = MEGA Swagbucks Day!


Today is Friday, which means that it is Mega Swag Bucks day!  This means that you could win up to 2,000 Swagbucks at a time, rather than 100! To see how great Swagbucks can actually be, check out my post about my first Swagbucks reward, a $50 Southwest gift card!  I'd say that's pretty awesome for simply using Swagbucks to search the web! 

What is Swagbucks?
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Swagbucks, it's is a rewards site and search engine that allows you to earn virtual dollars (i.e. "Swag Bucks") by doing things that you do every day anyway, such as searching the web, online shopping, submitting polls, watching TV clips, etc.  These dollars can be redeemed for a variety of things, including gift cards to Amazon.com, Target, Barns & Noble, Southwest Airlines, etc.  So, the bottom line is that you are basically earning rewards for free simply by doing your searches through swagbucks instead of other search engines like google.  If someone is going to give me something simply for searching the web like I normally do, I say, why not?!  To sign up and start earning, go here.

What Is Groupon?
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Groupon, it's a site that negotiates with retailers to get huge discounts (usually 50-90% off) on local goods, services, activities, etc.  Once you sign up, which is free, fast, and easy, Groupon will send you one email a day with your area's deal (or you can opt-out of receiving emails if you'd like).  Groupon also often features many non-city-specific deals, meaning that anyone can buy and use the deal even if they are not from the featured city (if your city is not yet listed, I would still recommend signing up so you can take advantage of some of these non-city-specific offers!).  I am currently addicted to Groupon, and I've gotten so many amazing deals!

Eversave: $5 credit plus 54% off magazine subscriptions + Deal Scenario!

Eversave, a site similar to Groupon, is currently offering a deal for $12 for $26 worth of magazine subscriptions through Blue Dolphin.  You can choose from over 1000 magazines, including most popular magazines like Us Weekly, People, Time, etc.  Additionally, if you're new to Eversave, you should receive $5 credit when you sign up, which you can use toward your purchase, making the deal $7 for $26 worth of magazine subscriptions!

One magazine suggestion I have is All You Magazine, which is filled with manufacturer's coupons.  It is only sold at Wallmart or through a subscription service.  On Blue Dolphin, a 1-year subscription to All You is $19.99, so with this Eversave voucher, you could score a 1-year subscription to All You and have $6 left over to put toward another magazine for only $7 total out of pocket!  If you use coupons or are planning to start, you will more than pay for the magazine with all the coupons you'll receive!  To get in on this deal, go here to register and receive $5 credit to use toward your purchase.  You will receive your voucher 2 days after your purchase.

CityDeals: $20 Cold Stone Gift Card for $16

CityDeals, a site similar to Groupon, is currently offering $20 Cold Stone Creamery Gift Cards for $16 (that's 20% off!).  For those of you like me who love Cold Stone but hate the outrageous prices they charge, this is a great opportunity to snag a yummy treat for 20% off!  You can purchase as many as you like!  However, these do tend to sell out quickly, so if you have a sweet tooth, you may want to snag one asap!  These would also make great stocking-stuffers!

Groupon Deal Scenario

For those of you who didn't jump on this deal yesterday, many cities are still offering the Groupon for $20 for a $40 gift certificate to The Body Shop.  One way you can maximize your use of this Groupon is to go through Ebates, which is currently offering 6% cash back on Groupon purchases.  Additionally, if you're not yet signed up for Ebates, you can earn $5 for signing up.  With the $5 new member credit and 6% cash back, you could essentially snag the $40 certificate for $13.80 (that's 65.5% off).  PLUS, if you wait to use your certificate until just after Christmas, you will likely be able to score some sweet deals when you combine this Groupon with the post-holiday sales!  For example, if items go on sale for around 75% off after the holidays (which is typical for these types of stores) and then you use your Groupon, which is essentially a 65.5% off coupon, you could snag some items for over 90% off the retail price!  WOW!  To get in on this deal, follow these steps:.
  • Register for Groupon by going here (If you are already registered, skip this step).
  • Close the Groupon windown and go here to register for Ebates & earn $5 cash back (only new members will earn $5 cash back)
  • Search for "Groupon" on the Ebates site and click "shop now" to be taken to the Groupon site, where you will earn 6% off your Groupon purchase
  • Go to one of the following cities and purchase your Body Shop Groupon: Bakersfield, Fresno, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Orange County, Phoenix, Portland, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, Spokane, Tuscon, and Ventura County
  • You will need to pay $20 out of pocket for the Groupon, but then you should receive a check from Ebates for $6.20 ($5 new member credit & $1.20 from the 6% cash back on your Groupon purchase).  I recently received my first Ebates check, worth about ~$8, so I can vouch for the legitimacy of the company!
