My love for JCP knows no bounds!!!

     This Christmas JC Penneys is making me incredibly happy!  First I got some great gifts at amazingly low prices!  Now, I am raking in the savings like crazy!
     JCP is giving away buttons at every store.  They are free and the stores I have been to have a ton!  All you need to do is ask for one.  The employees have been so nice and a few have let me pick out the ones I want!  My favorites are one that says "Santa I can explain" and a turkey leg.  They have all kinds of cute ones with santa, reindeer, elves, candy, even a fruitcake.  Each button has a code on the back and you can win great prizes.
     So far I have won $5 and $10 off coupons.  That means the t-shirt I bought as a gift that was regularly $10 was $8 on sale and after the $5 coupon only cost me $3!  Yup, $3 for a fun Grinch t-shirt!  I also bought myself a great sweater for $7!  It was originally $32 and on sale for $17.  So of course I used my $10 coupon!  I saved $26 for a cashmere blend cardigan.  Now I just need to win another $10 coupon so I can buy the orange skinny jeans they have on sale for $20 (original price of $30).
     The sweater and jeans are both from the JCP line.  Their line has a range of clothes and colors.  So far I have a t-shirt, long sleeve tee, and the sweater.  They also have a cute navy oxford with big green dots.  I really want one of the cowl neck sweaters that they have.  They have blues, greens, pinks, and oranges that are mix and match.  Prices range from $9 to $34.  Those are regular prices but you can go in and find all kinds of sales and score some great clothes!
     Finally, one of my favorite things about JCP is that Ellen DeGeneres is their spokesperson.  The commercial with the elves is too funny!  I hope to see more of her in the future!

Happy shopping and saving!

Still working out the kinks!

    If you know anything about me you know I always go off on tangents.  I wanted this blog to help others find creative ways to make and save money.  I am still going to post helpful hints and some of my favorite places to shop and save but I will also throw in some of my other favorite things.
    So, coming up I am just going to blog about whatever comes to mind- today is going to be CVS.  I love shopping for hair color and make-up at CVS.  I have their extracare card so I always get good deals.  I have also signed up on their website and for their Beauty Club.  That equals coupons and savings galore!!!!!
    CVS already has good buy one get one off beauty products almost every week.  Those savings can be increased by manufacturer coupons.  The other day I bought Revlon lipstick and eyeshadow.  The lipstick was $9 and the eyeshadow $5.  It was buy one get one 50% off Revlon products.  The original price before my discounts was $14.00.  CVS also had a special $2 extrabucks when you spend $10 on Revlon.  After the 50% off the eye shadow was $2.5.  I also had a coupon for $2 off the lipstick so that was down to $7.  I ended up paying $9.50 plus I got the extra $2 off coupon that I can use for whatever I want!
    I have also ended up paying $3 for Clairol haircolor that was originally $10 and receive $5 extrabucks whenever I accumulate $50 in beauty purchases!  Don't forget that CVS also rewards people who use their extracare card when the pick up prescriptions.  I pick up my name brand prescriptions here and get about $40 a year in extrabucks!
    Another thing I love at CVS is the Slama Hayek line of hair, skin, and beauty care.  Those products are always on sale for by one get one 50% off.  I have the shampoo and conditioner doe color treated hair and the eye cream.  My hair is always silky soft and smells fantastic.  I also love that at 40 I barely have crows feet!
    I totally recommend CVS for beauty care!  Plus, they have a great line of environmentally friendly bath tissue and paper towels!
