Thank you! I was just about to ask if anyone had the October coupon!

Awesome deal! Do you know what age range these toys are good for? My DD is in kindergarten and I am wondering if they would make good gifts for girls age 5 to 6.

Thank you so much! I just ordered 2 Pretty Pretty Princess games at $5 each. I have been waiting for this game to go on sale, but it rarely goes below $10 at Target and Toys R Us. I also ordered a book, and got the Monopoly Here and Now game for free. My total was only $18.99.

Borders bookstores always has several tables and displays of bargain books that you should check out. I remember when I was younger someone gave me a skinny set of science encyclopedia-type books, maybe National Geographic. I don't think those cost too much. Also, if your local library sells books (ours has a Friends of the Library bookstore), you might find something there. Good Luck!

I was on a tight budget when I got married, and I actually found my beautiful wedding dress at a consignment shop! It cost $50 to rent, but I asked how much it would be to just buy it and she sold it to me for $95! It was too small, but the owner was a seamstress and was able to take it out for me. She charged $40 for the tailoring, which I thought was a steal since she had to add extra panels to the sides of the dress. Everyone thought my dress was $1000. I got my wedding jewelry -- pearl drop earrings and bracelet -- at Claire's for really cheap and no one could even tell they were fake.

Thank you for the $10 off $30 coupon! I used it today at the outlet to buy more boys cargo shorts for 0.99, boys socks for 0.50, girls stockings $2.49 to $3.49, and girls corduroy skirts $3.49. Lots of markdowns on fall clothing, plus lots of clearance items were an additional 50% off the markdown price.

Hi, I went on Maybelline's website and emailed the company asking if they knew where it could be purchased or if it was just re-named. I got a reply today stating that it has been discontinued and is not available for purchase. (you already knew this). They suggested trying Superstay Silky Foundation. I'm not sure what the difference is, but it may be worth trying. I'll let you know if I happen to find any of the Wonder Finish on clearance anywhere.

Thank you! I'm sure this will come in handy!

OK, I was just supposed to go to The Children's Place to return some of the clothes I had bought my girls. But then what did I see? Racks of clothes for 0.99! I couldn't resist, so I stocked up on girls t-shirts and shorts and a few tank tops. They mostly had t-shirts, shorts and tank tops for toddler and big girls, and t-shirts and onesies for toddler and big boys. I didn't look at the infant section. Some of the fall merchandise was marked down, like girls skirts were $6.59 (reg. $16.50), so I ended up getting a skirt for my niece. I had a 15% off code for doing a survey on the bottom of a past receipt, so I saved even more. I bought 20 items (including the skirt) and paid $22.

Today I found Excedrin 24 count geltabs marked on sale for $1.99. I had a coupon from a few weeks ago for $2 off a 24 count package. So I got them for free! I know, not much of a deal, but it was my only deal of the day.

I forgot to mention that I was able to use the 15% off coupon (from when you do the survey on the receipt) along with the $10 coupon. The cashier was not sure if I could use both, so I convinced her to just try it. I couldn't believe it worked! That's why I ended up paying nothing for my purchases. I guess I just got lucky with a nice cashier.

I went today and they were having an extra 50% off clearance prices. I am not sure how long that lasts for. I know they have been having 40% off clearance prices for a while now. They still had lots of clearance on the floor. I got a purse, normally $38, marked down to $18.99, and then 50% off that brought it to $9.49. I found 2 belts, normally $26, marked with a green sticker to $1.97. The cashier took 50% off those, so they were $0.97! I used the $10 coupon, so I paid nothing!

Just a heads up that I received a JC Penney's ad in the mail and inside the front cover was a $10 coupon off a $10 purchase. The coupon is valid Monday August 13 through Sat. August 18. This is only the 2nd time I have received this coupon. I hope some of you get this coupon, too!

Thank you for the 20% off coupon! I went back yesterday and today and bought some more shorts and tops for my girls (size 4 and up). There were still a lot of those left. I found a cute baseball cap for $0.49. I also found cute turquoise purses, normally $8.50, for $0.49. I bought all of them to use as party favors at my daughter's birthday party. All tights were $0.25 so I bought lots of those, too. I am so happy that we finally got one of these stores close by!

I just got back from The Children's Place Outlet and found tons of great deals on summer clothing. Most little girls t-shirts and shorts were $1.99, and big girls were $2.99. Also, girls jeans were $5.99. The clothes are really cute! Summer water shoes, sandals and canvas shoes were $2.99, and girls belts were $0.49. Lots of similar items in boys and infants. I had a 15% off coupon from my last vist there, so that saved me some more money. This was all the stuff that had gone down to $3.99 a few weeks ago. These deals were way better than anything I found at Old Navy and JC Penney's this year. If anyone has a 20% off coupon, can you please post it? Mine expired, and I want to go back tomorrow to stock up on more clothes. Thanks!

I went last night and found a lot of great deals for $3.99. Lots of girls shorts, skirts and nightgowns. Also tons of boys shorts and shirts. Socks behind the counter were $0.49. I had no problem using the 20% off coupon. The sale should go through Sunday. That's when they are putting out new merchandise.

They are currently having a sale 5 for $25 on their Signature Collection. I bought 6 items (lotions, body creams, and shower gels) for $30, and used the $10 off coupon. My price for each item was $3.33 before tax. I am going to use them for end-of-the-year teacher gifts!
