This Week's Frugal Wins-Part 1
I did a bit (okay, a lot) of online shopping this month in preparation of our upcoming family vacation. As you might imagine, I love, love, LOVE to score a bargain and I love it even more when I can score multiple discounts on a purchase so this week I was in frugal hog-heaven!
One Stop Plus: I scored this adorable 3 piece set of shorts, capris and hoodie, regularly $59.99, on sale for $44.99. I used a 50% off coupon code (OSPFB9) to score the outfit for a bargain basement price of $22.49! To maximize my savings I used my 1.5% cash back debit card AND logged into One Stop Plus using my Big Crumbs account to score an additional 3.5% cash back. Total cost for each outfit- $21.36.
After it arrived I put it on and wore it around for the day and decided it was THE most comfortable outfit in my wardrobe so I went online and ordered a second one in Dark Taupe. My plan is to wear this during our 4 hour drive-it's comfy enough to stretch out/curl up in and nice enough to get out of the car and go into a casual restaurant in.
Next stop-Macy's: where I picked up these 2 blouses by Elementz:
Originally $44.00, on sale for $17.99. I used the Macy's Mother's Day discount code (MOM) for an additional 20% off to get it for a bargain basement price of only $14.39. I logged in for shopping using my Big Crumbs account for an additional 2.1% cash back and paid with my 1.5% cash back debit card for a final total of $13.87. I think this little gem will look great with my blue jeans and boots for a fun and exciting night on the town!
This blouse was originally $44.00, on sale for $27.99. I used the Macy's Mother's Day discount code for the additional 20% off to bring the cost down to $22.39. With my Big Crumbs 2.1% and cash back debit card 1.5% the final cost on this blouse is only $21.58! I have both black and khaki slacks to wear this little beauty with!
The total original cost of my purchases (2-3piece outfits and 2 blouses) would have been $207.98. After subtracting the sale prices, discounts and cash back, my final cost for everything is only $78.17 saving me a whopping $129.81! That's a 62% savings over the original cost. Not bad for less than a half-hour of work on the computer!
Tomorrow I'll post my Frugal Wins from my daughter's online shopping spree at the Forever 21 and Go Jane websites.

Pin of the Day 4/19
Back today with a Pinterest Pin of the Day:
I really like the rustic look of the used brick combined with the irregular shapes of concrete. Our local Craigslist has many postings in their "free" section every week with offers of used concrete chunks and bricks. This would be an awesome and FREE way to landscape our ugly side yard that we only see when we take out the trash. It wouldn't be hard to to turn our ugly and often weed filled side yard into something this cute and kitschy. As a bonus, the brick and concrete may cut down of the stray cats using our side yard as their own toilet facilities (yuck) and will probably inhibit some of the weed growth.

50% Off Alert!
Two things I love are a cute handbag and a great sale and I love it even more when the two come together!
Through a link on The Flylady's FB page I found the fine ladies at Reverse-A-Purse. They've created some cute handbags in a good selection of styles and sizes that have fun, fashionable, reversible covers that you can change up to coordinate with your wardrobe. I know there are other companies out there that have done this, but I fell in love with the style and color combinations they offer on their website.
Reverse-A-Purse is running a 50% Off sale for their FB fans until Midnight EST tonight (Thurs 4/12). The sale applies to everything on the site including their ALREADY DISCOUNTED Deal of the Week! The code you need is FB50. I ordered 2 bags and 4 reversible covers and as soon as they arrive I'll give them a review, snap a bunch of pics and share it all here.

Garden Apron
As I was working in my garden this morning I realized that I needed a garden apron. Not wanting to go out and spend money on something that I will basically be digging in the dirt in, I hit the internet in search of ideas. What I found was the easiest garden apron EVER!. I "pinned" it on my Awesome Ideas board...because it's is the most awesome idea I've seen all week! I'm off now to raid the back of my closet for a pair of jeans to use!
