Mall walk & Budget Shopping
Sunday, January 24, 2010
Hubby & I went on a mall walk yesterday (Sat.) - I had a coupon from Sephora for some Bare Minerals makeup (from an email from their membership program) - & another for a little pearl bracelet from a jewelry store - which was motivating. I am trying to walk more - so any motivation is great!
We also were given some tiny hand santiziers as a freebie by one store - it's nice & small to fit in my purse. The bracelet is really NICE - I couldn't believe it!
We walked about & went into the Barnes & Noble bookstore - where we both found $5 books on the bargain table - Mine is a hardcover Knitting from up down book, which I had heard about - reduced from $25 or so! I would never have bought this hardback - Those are the kind which I stand & read for inspiration in bookstores. Finally found a deal on one, and I have already started a new project on my circular needles. We'll see how that goes. (Hubby had our parking validated at the bookstore - so the trip cost nada. We had parked on the fancy paid side...)
Using my M3 skin care regime - nice! Hubby was remarking how much women spend on themselves for beauty projects because he was watching HSN and a Lancome presentation. (I had gotten some little Lancome eye shadow & lipstick at a thrift shop for $1 over Xmas.) That's why I join all the clubs - like membership at Sephora - and the ones for the fashion magazines, and answer the L'Oreal questionnaires! Not to mention the skin care trial. (I looked it up on the net & whew! each tube was $35 & the whitener $100 = several hundred dollars of skin care in my little bag!)
Got some more pretty underwear, 2 scarves & some trouser socks at the 99 Cent Store. I am really frugally chic!
