Get 34% OFF Any Groupon Deal — Today Only!

Posted on February 3, 2016 | Leave a comment

Now this is a GREAT Groupon deal not to miss!

Groupon has launched TWO combinable deals that will save you an extra 34% OFF already discounted Groupon offers — this can be used on just about ANY Groupon offer, too!

There are 2 offers that you can easily combine — one is a 9% rebate deal (today only) through Ebates and the other is a 25% OFF promo code to use on the Groupon site (valid through Friday)! We tell you exactly how to stack up the savings below.

How to save an extra 34% OFF on just about ANY Groupon offer:

Go here to sign in to your Ebates account (or if you are not a member sign up for FREE here). You can learn more about our experience with Ebates below if your are new to them — we cannot recommend using them enough!
Once logged into Ebates, search for Groupon and click through the “Shop Now” link to get the 9% Cash Ebate rebate. Doing this will take you to the Groupon site. Do note that the 9% back Groupon Ebate is valid today only.
Shop Groupon’s site and select up to 3 restaurant, spa, entertainment, or other deals to save another 25% OFF. On each deal’s page, select the “Buy” button to put the deal in your shopping cart.
When you are ready to finalize your Groupon purchase, at checkout, click the “Use a promotion or gift code” box and enter promo code CANDY25 to get another 25% OFF. You only have until February 5, 2016 to use the promo code. Also, there are a limited number of Groupon deals available, so if you find something that interests you, we would not recommend waiting too long to make your purchase as many sell out quickly.

Are you signed up for Ebates? If not, then you really should be! If you do any online shopping, you’ll want to be sure to sign up and use their free service before you place your next purchase — you can save as much as 40% more at almost any online store including favorite places like Macy’s, Kohl’s, World Market, Ann Taylor Loft, Bath & Body Works — even Target & Walmart (and that’s on top of whatever deal you find at the online store)!

By clicking through the Ebates site to your favorite online stores (over 1,800 stores participate), you can save a bundle! It doesn’t cost anything to sign-up for Ebates and it’s a no-brainer way that we personally use to save on online purchases we would be making anyway.

Our family signed up for Ebates a couple of years ago, and we have already received more than $200 back — the rebate savings can add up fast!

I love it when I get one of these ^ emails in my inbox.

Don’t Miss The Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse Clothing Sale — Starts Thursday, February 4

Posted on February 2, 2016 | 2 comments

Just a little reminder that the Sharon Young & Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse Sale opens its doors to the public this Thursday (Feb. 4-6)! We popped over for a preview and found SO MANY great finds. As promised, we are sharing some of our favorite bargains — even lots of insider tips you’ll want to know before you go!

Here’s the inside scoop on the sale:

This direct from the designer sale only opens its doors to the public four times a year, and the sale runs this Thursday to Saturday, February 4 to 6. Everything is deeply discounted OFF retail (prices starting at $20), and you’ll find a variety of styles and sizes to fit just about anyone.

Here are a few insider tips to find the best deals when you go:

~ Click on any picture for a closeup view ~

Insider Tip #1: For the best selection, go to the sale as soon as you can. Some styles/sizes are limited in quantity and sell out fast — the earlier you can go, the better.

Insider Tip #2: There will be a surprise “Buy One Get One FREE” deal you’ll want to ask about (note that this is offered on Thursday and Friday only).

Insider Tip #3: The sale offers wonderful statement pieces and wonderful wardrobe basics too. Be sure and look for reversible and convertible styles to stretch your wardrobe (like the fantastic blue and black poncho above that can be worn 3 different ways, providing several looks from this one piece – LOVE!).

We found lots of fabulous finds including the reversible black and white brocade poncho below AND a reversible pair of tailored knit pants (Yes ~ reversible pants!) from Sharon Young — solid black on one side and reverses to heather gray on the other — savvy travel-worthy and so comfortable too!

Insider Tip #4: There are sizes to fit and flatter just about everyone — you’ll find Petite size 2 to Women’s Plus sizes and everything in between. A special note on sizes — if you know anyone looking for fashion-forward Women’s plus sizes, be sure and bring them with you to this February sale! We saw TWO, very long rows dedicated to wonderful plus-size fashions (that’s a few thousand 0X-3X pieces from which to choose)!

Insider Tip #5: Almost everything throughout the sale is grouped by collection, making it easy to find coordinating pieces and mix-and-match a complete outfit.

Insider Tip #6: Be sure and look for the big section of our favorite “Slim-Sation” pants and tights (you’ll find them pretty close to the center area of the sale). Slim-sation pants have a little inside tummy smoothing panel that make you look a size smaller (yes, please!). These have become our “go to” favorites as they are no-fuss machine washable, comfortable, and have a fantastic fit.

Pssst…Slim-sation is the same line of pants carried by a high-end travel clothing/online catalog store for almost TWICE as much as you’ll find them at this sale. We can’t reveal the name of the store, but doing a little Google search might tell you (wink-wink).

Insider Tip #7: Look for the section of Tru Luxe jeans, crops, and casual tops –– these high-end jeans are very deeply discounted to at least 60% off retail ($40 at this sale vs. the usual $100 price tag at retail stores)! We appreciate that the Tru Luxe jeans section is organized by size, making it simple to find the right pair and fit among the many style choices.

Insider Tip #8: There are over 19,000 pieces in this sale at 50% to 75% off retail, so wear comfortable shopping shoes! You’ll find tops, skirts, pants, and jackets from boutique quality and high-end department store designers. Look for favorite designer brands like Sharon Young, Tru Luxe, Ali Miles, and Multiples ~ prices start at $20 and nothing is over $60.

I hope you have a little taste of the sale and are able to make the jog over to Dallas to grab some great bargains, too!

Here’s the information you’ll need for the Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse Sale, in a nutshell:

Details, details
When: February 4-6, 2016 ~ Thursday & Friday, 8:00AM to 7:00PM and Saturday, 8:00AM to 5:00PM
Where: 10367 Brockwood Rd ~ Dallas. You’ll see yellow signs directing you where to go (or just follow all the ladies you will see!).
Important to know before going: There is a large dressing room area provided if you want to try on all your wonderful finds, but typical of women’s fashion warehouse sales, it is ladies only but not private — you likely want to keep this in mind when choosing your undergarments : ). Since this is a women only event, husbands, guy-friends and kiddos under 12, please stay comfortable at home.

Enjoy and Share! :)

43% OFF Kindle for Kids Bundle $79.99 (Save $59!)

Posted on November 9, 2015 | Leave a comment

TODAY — Amazon has their Kindle for Kid’s Bundle at a DEEP discount of 43% OFF — just $79.99 (a savings of $59) and likely one of the best Kindle deals you will find until Christmas. The bundle even includes the latest kindle, 2-year accident protection (protects against drops or spills), a kid-friendly cover, and more!

“SECRET SAUCE” SAVINGS TIP: Although Amazon describes this as a ‘kids bundle,’ it’s an excellent value for anyone considering purchase of a new Kindle since the reader alone is selling for $79.99 right now.

Features included in the Kindle for Kid’s Bundle:

* Includes the latest Kindle Reader ($99.99 retail), a kid-friendly cover ($19.99), & a 2-year warranty provided by SquareTrade ($19.99).

* There are over 12,000 reviews on this powerful little reader tablet & most reviewers give it 5 stars (with an overall rating of 4/5 stars).

* Zero distractions – unlike tablets, this Kindle is designed just for reading

* Set reading goals and track progress with Kindle FreeTime.

* Drops or spills? No worries – includes 2 years of accident protection provided by SquareTrade. Once your Kindle ships, you will receive an email with instructions on how to activate your coverage.

* Power up a young reader’s vocabulary with features that offer hints for difficult words and let you practice them on digital flashcards

* Lighter than a paperback and holds thousands of books

* Kindle offers more than 250,000 children’s titles, plus easily borrow e-books from your public library
