Bath & Body Savings

Most days being a play at home mom to my nine month old is a dream  We have so much fun hanging out with each other, going to the park, having play dates, taking walks with The Puppy.  Other days are not so fun, when his little teeth are coming through, when nap time only lasts 15 minutes, or when I haven't had an ADULT to converse with for a while and start to go a little crazy.  Those days, there's nothing that rejuvenates me more than a long, hot, QUIET bubble bath.

And so I love Bath & Body Works. 

I do NOT love their obscene prices.

However, twice a year, in January and in June, they have amazing sales with up to 75% off. Did you know that every other receipt prints out a survey that gets you $10 off a $30 purchase?  Want to know the best part?  IT. DOESN'T. EXPIRE.  You can hang on to your receipt for a year and they will still honor the coupon (in store only).

So twice a year I head on over to Bath & Body and fill up my bag with exactly enough sale items to equal around $30 before tax.  I use these items for myself, gifts, shower game prizes, or as fun stuff to send to my sisters while they work at Hume Lake for the summer.

This time around I got 14 items for a grand total of $22.07.  Do I care if my bubble bath or soap is from the Christmas line? Nope. I only care that it cost me about a dollar or two.  The most expensive items were the body wash for $2.15.  The cheapest were the hand soaps at .94. I am sort of in love with the Christmas tea light holders ($1.63) and may have to go back for more to pack away for next year :)

Now I'll just tuck away my reciept until June.

Memory Keepers

Lately I have been in love with Paper Coterie because they have great quality products and A-M-A-Z-I-N-G coupon codes.  I’m especially impressed with their Memory Keepers, which are 9.75 x 13 and great for storing all sorts of meaningful knick knacks.

I made this one for Landon.  It contains all of his baby cards, his hospital bracelet and some newborn pictures.

And this box has replaced the old Nike shoe box that was housing cards Ben and I have written to each other over the years.

Hurry and order some super cute Christmas presents!  And don’t forget your promocodes!  Hold out for a good one, all I had to pay was around $10 shipping for each of these!

PS. Landon's newborn pictures were taken by the talented Christina Harrison.
