Peeled Snacks

Here is another Gaggle of Chicks deal that I thought might interest you:

Head on over to gaggle of chicks to "buy" these tasty treats. You'll get $40 worth of organic fruit snacks for $20 and the shipping is free. I believe that you will click "buy now" on the gaggle of chicks website to get your code and then head over to the Peeled Snacks website to use the code and order.

If you have the $10 credit this deal becomes 75% off instead of 50%

I have heard that they have these snacks at Starbucks. Anyone tried them???

Cover Girl Natureluxe

I received a great little bzzkit the other day in the mail. Somedays it is just so great to open that mail box....

Anyways, inside was my Cover Girl Natureluxe samples and some coupons.

Here are some facts that were included in my bzzkit.

Silk Foundation:
provides smooth, silky feel
contains refreshing cucumber water to help balance the creaminess on application
made with hints of jojoba and rosehip extracts
available in 14 shades ranging from light to dark tones
oil-free, SPF 10 and dermatologically tested

Gloss Balm
combines sheer color and shine of a gloss with a soft moisturization of a balm
available in 16 versatile beautiful shades
formulated with SPF 15 for added protection


So what did I think?

I tried the foundation first. It was the perfect shade for me. And I was nervous about that because I had to pick over the computer instead of in front of a mirror in the store. I loved that it felt so natural. I have seen a ton of products claim that you would feel like you had no make up on and never actually found one that was true until now. It really felt light and as if it wasn't there. But there is a down side to being so light. It did not cover up the circles under my eyes. Personally, I would rather have it feel lighter and cover up less because I won't wear the foundations that feel like you have a mask on. And if I'm wearing the lighter one and looking a little better that must be better than not wearing one at all?!?!?

I also tried the Gloss Balm. This was my fav of the two. I need a little color but also need the protection. I am outside alot and I lick my lips when I am teaching. I don't even realize I am doing it and then my lips get all crazy. So anyways, this was the perfect combination of a gloss and a balm. I lvoe it!!


All opinions are 100% mine. I was not compensated for my review. I was sent free samples and coupons to share.

Quick stop at Wegmans

I stopped for a couple of veggies tonight (and used that lovely $1 off $5 coupon that Wegmans sent out). And while I was there I decided to grab a couple other items.

Band aids $0.99
use $0.50/1 from 4/17 SS
*doubled* to make it free

Pantene $2.99
used $2/1 from P&G booklet

This is some of the best that I could find for free or near free right now. And if you don't want to have to try and play the drug store game it is an easy way to get some cheap toiletries.

Rite Aid Stop

So I haven't found too much to be excited about at Rite Aid, but that can change...

Here is the plan:

First Transaction:

2 Peanut Butter Snickers $0.88 each
used BOGO coupon I found at a store (tear pad)
spent $0.88 plus tax
got back 2 - $0.88 +ups

Transaction #2:

6 Orajel BOGO Free ($4.49 x 3)
used 6 - $1/1 coupons (from 3/13 insert and printable)

2 Purex $5.99 BOGO Free
used 2 - $1/1 coupons

Subtotal: $19.46
I used $8 in coupons
Makes it $11.46
I also used a $5 +up and a $3/$15 coupon from my receipt and the 2 $0.88 +ups from the snickers.

So my grand total was $1.70 plus tax. And then I got back the $5 plus up for spending $10 on orajel.

Do you see anything else exciting????

The Big Giver

For any local readers, I found a site called The Big Giver. It has a link to coupons from coupons.com and also to local area restaurants, pizza joints, burger joints, auto places, and even golf. If you are going out you may want to check if there is a coupon to make it more affordable.

Anyone used this site or entered the contests? I'd love to hear from you!

Gaggle of Chicks:

Have you joined Gaggle of Chicks yet?

So basically, they offer deals. If enough people choose to purchase the deal then it "hatches" and everyone gets the great price. They were offering $10 and $5 credits a few months back.

If you have the credit from before then this scarf deal gets even better for you. Right now they are offering 50% off. You spend $30 but only pay $15. You buy first through gaggle of chicks and then they send you a code to use at scarves.com. You do still have to pay shipping, but I think the discount can be applied to shipping as well.

Has anyone used Gaggle of Chicks yet? I was going to order the paper forts months ago, but they sold out... I'd love to hear how it went!

$5 off Tylenol Precise

If you use this product I would hurry on over to print your $5 off coupon. These prodcuts are priced around $6.69 at Wegmans. And this coupon will probably make a great deal at one of the drug stores too!!
