Coupon Alert: Jason Body Wash

I had never heard of the brand Jason until the other day when I was buying vitamins and saw some at the health food store. I was going to take a picture for my friend [[since she knows a guy by that name]] but didn't.

And then today I find a coupon for it. Funny how that works.

If you head over to this link, you can print a coupon for $2 off any full size Jason body wash. Now, if only I remembered the price on these.

Holiday Gift Cards: DSW

This is the time of year when chains know you have tons of gifts to buy, many of which will be gift cards. They try to lure you in with gift card deals. And we're suckers. We buy based on this. So, when we come across one, we'll be sure to let you know about it. And, as always, if you see any, let us know.

Today's holiday gift card deal comes from DSW. For every $50 in gift cards you buy, you'll get a $5 bonus card.

I saw this over at eBates, so I'm not sure if you actually have to go through eBates for the deal or if you can just get it no matter what. But, since eBates is offering 4% back -- plus a $10 gift card if you're a new member -- you'd be silly to not go through eBates.

Lot 18: Good Deal Alert -- Free Shipping

I got a nice email from Lot 18 letting me know that the site [[which sells wine and chocolates and other gourmet items]] is offering free shipping on every order between now and December 14.

Shipping is generally $9.99, so this is a great sale.

There's a set of six stemless wineglasses for $29.99, which is awesome because I have a $20 credit [[so you might too]]. There's also two bags of Brooklyn Roasting Co. coffee for $25, which sounds like a lot but it's only $5 after that $20 credit, or $2.50 a bag. Now that's cheap.

AMC Theaters: FREE Popcorn

Got an email from Aria letting me know that if you like AMC Theaters on Facebook, you can get a coupon for a free popcorn, good Friday through Sunday [[December 2 through 4]].

Gotta love that.

Don't forget, when you're on Facebook, be sure to "like" Drugstore Divas on Facebook too. The goal is 5k fans by New Year's, so we've got a month left to get 1.6k fans. It's possible.

Right now, it's possible for you to get free popcorn if you head to the movies this weekend.

Which I just typed as poopcorn. Which is funny to everyone except for, well, probably this lady.

Starbucks: 12 Days Of Deals

I was going to enter a contest and clicked on an ad to do it [[sometimes I get distracted by that]], and then, on the side of the contest, there was an ad that Starbucks' 12 Days Of Sharing is happening again this year.

So I got distracted by that and I didn't even end up entering the contest. Eh, so it goes.

All the details are at this link and we'll be posting all the daily deals for you. But, if you'd rather have them hand delivered, well, text MERRY to 697289 and the offers will be sent to your phone.

But maybe Fancy Feast will get something together before the end of this.

Victoria's Secret: FREE Panty [[Today Only]]

Pete and I saw a commercial for theVictoria's Secret Fashion Show over the weekend. Of course, he said those girls aren't pretty to him. Which is a very nice thing to say. Although, really, even to me those girls are pretty.

Speaking of the show, readers Ann Marie and Aria both let me know that Victoria's Secret is advertising their show -- on your back end.

Yup, if you head over to this link you can print a coupon for a free panty. The only thing is, you don't really get a choice. You just get the one that's free -- which is an advertisement for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

But hell, free is free right?

The coupon is only valid today [[November 30]] and it's limit one per person.

Cardstore: Good Deal Alert -- 60% Off All Cards [[Today Only]]

Okay, to be honest, that time hasn't been in half a decade, but still ... it wasn't that long ago.

Not anymore. And I hope you don't either.

Today, you can head over to Cardstore and you can get 60% off all cards. Use the code CSSAVE605 at checkout.

Also, you can get free shipping and free stamps everyday at Cardstore. That's great to know!

Holiday Gift Guide [[& Giveaway]]: Slice Box Cutter

Cyber Monday just passed, which means there's a good chance you're going to get a bunch of boxes delivered.

In fact, last night my mom received a big box from Amazon with Black Friday deals. Talk about fast shipping, right?

I got a box in the mail last week, and I ended up opening it with my car keys, which, honestly, was a terrible idea. It didn't really work, I was stabbing tape, and those little strings got everywhere.

Not quite the way you want to open boxes all season long, right?

Well, you don't have to. Not if you have the slice box cutter that is.

It has this awesome ergonomic handle, with this soft grip inside. That's really nice because I can imagine that it'll keep away the potential chafing that might happen if you were trying to open boxes all day long with a scissor or knife.

The slice box cutter boasts a ceramic blade that isn't sharp to the touch, but it is sharp to packing tape [[yes, I'm a dork and touched the blade to be sure]]. Now, originally I thought that blade would last forever, but no, the back of the package tells you how to remove and replace it.

I haven't needed to replace mine yet, so I haven't tried. When I get to that point, I'll be sure to let you know.

What I quite like about this box cutter is its size. It's a solid hand length long [[however many inches that might be]]. I'm good at misplacing things [[yes, that's a nice way to say "losing" -- small aside, I never burn anything, sometimes I overbake it]]. When I need to open a box, my exacto knife is never handy. But this, it's such a good size, and so eye catching that I wouldn't even be able to misplace it if I tried.

One quick fuzzy feeling fact about this: a portion of the purchase price goes towards Autism research. How great is that?

I know, I know. You want one now. Well, lucky for you, the people at slice have generously given me a second slice box cutter to give away to a lucky reader. Giveaway starts now and goes for 48 hours. Click "read more" to get to the Rafflecopter to enter.

Full Disclosure: This product was donated to be a part of Drugstore Divas' annual Holiday Gift Guide. The giveaway product was donated as well. Drugstore Divas will cover the shipping costs for the giveaway win. All thoughts are my own. No money exchanged hands.

Coupon Alert: Cafe Escapes

I'm not sure why, but the Cafe Escapes coupon is the hottest one going right now. Everyone keeps telling me about it, so I figure I should tell you about it.

Head over to this link, go under "beverages" and you can print a coupon for $2 off any one 12-count box of Cafe Escapes K-Cup packs.

I'd print now because everyone is printing these, so they're bound to go very quickly.

Swagbucks: 7 Buck Code [[Til 9pm EST]]

Swagbucks has a code out right now worth 7. It's good until 9pm EST.

Check out Swagbucks' blog for the code.

If you're not a member of Swagbucks yet, head over to this link, register, then enter the code from twitter on the right side, under "Account Summary" [[you'll see the code box]].

It's really easy to earn enough bucks for Amazon gift cards that start at 450 Swagbucks and the CVS ones run you around 1200, so you definitely wanna enter every code.

Let me know if you have any questions about the Swagbucks program.

Green Mountain Coffee: I Went Shopping

If you've been following my Christmas Countdown posts, you know that I've been saving up all my K-Cup samples for a Christmas gift.

The thing was, though, I was holding out for a great deal on the 30 count K-Cup carousel holder that I had fallen in love with [[mostly because of the great reviews]].

When I found the Green Mountain Coffee Cyber Monday deal, well, I knew I had a winner.

See, the carousel is $29.99, regularly in Bed, Bath and Beyond. So, I set a goal for myself. I decided I wanted to find it for under $20 shipped. Lofty goal for some, maybe, but I'm a deal finding pro.

I found the exact carousel I wanted on sale at Green Mountain Coffee's site for $16.95. With the code CYBER-MON, I saved 15% and got free shipping, and I went through eBates, so I'll get 10% back.

So, my deal went something like this:

$16.95 -- sale price
- 15% [[2.54]]
Total: $14.41
Plus tax: $15.62

10% back via eBates = $1.44

So total after all = $14.18. That's more than 50% off. Yup, I'm very very happy with that.

What was your best Cyber Monday find?

Free Sample: Badabing Sauce

I'm definitely spoiled because Pete can cook everything. Yup, everything. He even makes his own sauces. I don't mean tomato sauce [[that's "gravy" to some of you]]. He's made BBQ sauce and hot sauce. It's awesome.

I think we just finished the last bit of the hot sauce, so this sample that sauce savvy Ann Marie found comes at the perfect time.

She let me know that if you head over to this link, you can request a sample of Badabing Sauce. You can choose from Breeze, Fire, or Lightning.

I picked Lightning. I figure that can be an interesting stocking stuffer.

Macy's: I Went Shopping

I can't tell you what's in that Macy's bag. I know, I know, that's terrible. That's like when someone says, "I have the best story!" And then doesn't tell you the story. I get it. I'm that person. I'm sorry.

But, see, inside that Macy's bag is someone's Christmas present, which I picked up on Black Friday [[yes, this deal was so good, I was the first person in Macy's when it opened at midnight so I made sure to get it]]. And since I know that person reads the blog -- and since I know that person's friends read the blog -- well, I can't run the risk of blowing the surprise. If you ask me, well, I'll probably tell you because, honestly, I'm the worst at keeping secrets.

I should really give the gift now because that would be so much easier. I really am so excited about it; I can't keep it in.

What I can tell you, though, is how great of a deal I got.

I bought ... something that was regularly priced $79.99. It was on sale for $39.99. I had a $10 off $25 coupon, which brought it down to $29.99. And then I had the $20 Macy's card from Klout, so it was $9.99 [[$12.50 after tax]].

So, really, I paid about $10 pre-tax for something that would have cost about $80 pre-tax. That's a savings of, um, seven-eighths, however much that is [[it's a savings of 87.5%, I just did the math]].

Merry Christmas to my wallet.

Lindor Instant Win Game: Check Your Email

I played an instant win game once upon a time, and I won a $10 gift card to Red Envelope thanks to Lindt Chocolate.

Coupon Alert: Reynolds Wrap Foil

I'm not so sure why this coupon is "hot" but the email I got about it says it's hot, so you tell me. I don't know of any sales on this right now, but maybe you do.

Holiday Gift Guide: Earth Home Smudge Spray

This post is part of Drugstore Divas' Holiday Gift Guide. Be sure to check out all the posts here.

I wish you were at my house the day I got the Earth Home Smudge Spray. I'm going to try to give you the play by play, but it won't do the live theater justice.

Scene: I opened the package with the Smudge Spray. Pete's standing behind me.

Pete: What's that?

Me: I'm not really sure. I didn't read the paper yet, but I know it's feng shui oriented and ... [[Pete grabs the bottle]].

Pete: Can I spray it? [[He starts spraying as I quickly read the PR sheet that came with it]].

Me: Stop. You're supposed to spray it where you wanna get rid of negative energy, not all over.

Pete: Then you need it all over. [[He starts spraying it all over my entire room]]

Me: Stop. That's not what you do. You can't just spray. You have to, like, call in what you want.

Pete: Come here Harry.

Me: Who? What? Who is Harry? No. Don't call Harry. I don't want some Harry spirit to come into my room in the middle of the night now. Thanks.

Pete: Can I wear this as a cologne?

Me: No. You can't. I need to review it.

Pete finally stops spraying, then says: So, when you're done, can I wear it as a cologne?

And then I gave up because, well, that's what you have to do sometimes. You just concede. Which is sorta like giving up ... or it's sorta like giving in to the powers of the Smudge Spray. See, I'm wound kinda tight sometimes, and, maybe there is a bit of negative energy in my room that I need to get rid of. So, either Pete really did break me down or the Smudge Spray actually worked.

Will I give it to him to wear as cologne? Probably. He wants it that bad, and I'm a nice girlfriend. Is it the exact purpose of the Smudge Spray, no, not really. But if he's wearing it, I'll smell it and I'll be reminded of that first conversation, of when happiness and laughter came "here" instead of some ghost named Harry. And that, well, that's the purpose of the Smudge Spray.

Maybe you're not into feng shui. Maybe your desk isn't facing the closest door. Maybe you don't have something purple in the corner of your cube at work. Maybe you don't buy this "new age" stuff. But, truth is we're olfactory beings. We relate to smells. And the Smudge Spray can be a scent that brings you to a happier place -- and maybe that's a way of getting rid of the negative energy and bringing the positive ones in.

And that kinda makes this a great gift for someone who needs to be a little less tightly wound. Or someone who is in need of a new cologne.

Full Disclosure: This product was donated to be a part of Drugstore Divas' annual Holiday Gift Guide. All thoughts are my own. No money exchanged hands.

Cyber Monday Deals: Quantum Of Solace On DVD

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, my family was watching Casino Royale. Apparently it's the best James Bond movie because Daniel Craig is the best James Bond.

If you've got a family member who agrees, you're gonna wanna get them this stocking stuffer.

Right now, Amazon has Quantum of Solace on DVD for only $1.99. It ships free with super saver shipping or with Amazon Prime. Or you can add thirteen of these into your cart and give them out to everyone you know.

For your birthday, you get a freebie as well. I got a free pastry or sweet.

Chances are I'm going to pick the seasonal Mint Crinkle cookie. I got it the other day and it was fantastic. So definitely worth getting again on my next trip to Panera.

McDonald's: Store Opening

My town isn't really that exciting. So, when we were in high school, the coolest thing to do was hang out in the McDonald's parking lot.

So imagine how terribly sad I was when the fast food joint was knocked down, I had to text everyone I knew to see what was going on.

Turns out, it was getting kicked down to be rebuilt and finally, this weekend it opened.

I'm really liking these Cyber Monday deals. Too bad I'm working and can't take advantage of them.

Victoria's Secret: I Went Shopping

I went to three CVS stores on Thanksgiving morning, the first of which left me with a ridiculously long receipt.

At the third CVS, I got out of the car, and there, on the ground, was someone's Victoria's Secret home mailer.It was 3am on the biggest party day of the year, and I was at the CVS closest to bar central. No one was coming back for this home mailer. Plus, it was exactly right where I stepped out of the car. It was calling my name.

So I picked it up.

There was a free panty coupon [[which, as you know, I never get]] and a $10 off anything [[except $19.50 bras]] coupon.

I took the coupons with me Black Friday shopping and I got my free panty [[yay!]] and a shimmery perfume mini, which was $10.

If you look at that photo [[if you click it, it'll get larger]], you can see that my total was a big whopping zero. I didn't even pay tax. Now, if only Victoria's Secret would mail these coupons to me myself.

Cyber Monday Deal: Kitchenaid Stand Mixer

I'm in the market for a mixer. Honestly, I've been in the market for a mixer for about five years now. You'd think I would have bought one but no, not yet.

That all might change.

See, super saver Lucy found an incredible deal on this 6-quart Kitchenaid Stand Mixer from Amazon.

It's on sale for $259.99 [[regularly $499.99]]. You'll get free shipping, so that's awesome. Then, there's a $50 rebate from Kitchenaid, so it'll end up being only $219.99 after rebate.

You can get it in silver or cinnamon [[which is what I would choose]].

This is just the first of many awesome deals were' gonna see this Cyber Monday. If you find any, please email me and we'll get them posted.

Crowdtap: I Got The Old Navy Party. Did You?

I meant to ask this a while back, but then the Thanksgiving holiday came and I wasn't on the computer for three days, so this is a bit late.

But the question still stands.

I was selected for the Old Navy Bundle-Up Bash party on Crowdtap.

I really have no idea what exactly it entails. It's my first hosted party from Crowdtap. I do know that I get to choose three of my friends, take them to Old Navy, and we're expected to take pictures and I'll post them on Crowdtap [[and, of course, I'll tell you all about it here]].

Did you get chosen? Do you know what we get?

Have you hosted a Crowdtap party before?

So many questions, I know. It's like this is a Sunday Speak or something.

Ulta: Cyber Monday Deals

Holiday Gift Guide [[& Giveaway]]: Ascensionary Shirts

You should have seen the pic before this

This post is part of Drugstore Divas' Holiday Gift Guide. Be sure to check out all the posts here.

It's been uncharacteristically warm here in New York. At least, ever since that freak snowstorm we had that snowed out Halloween.

Really, I don't know what that was. It snowed, knocked out power ... and then we had 60 degree weather. I know this must be the greenhouse effect, but, really, I'll take it. See, this warm weather means I've gotten the chance to wear out my Ascensionary t-shirt, which I'm obsessed with.

Ascenstionary Brand Apparel is the brainchild of Christ Kihlstrom, who actually lives in the same town as my brother.

This is my model face.

Chris sent two shirts for this year's Holiday Gift Guide. I got to try the Swedish Blue Three Crown tee and Pete got the NYC Empire State Building shirt.

Now, let me tell you, my shirt is printed on the most fantastic soft fabric. I love it. I just really want to cuddle with it, it's that soft. I wasn't sure if I would like the v-cut, but I was really surprised. It fits perfectly. Chris warned me that these were unisex or mens, so I got an extra small and hoped for the best. It is long, like past my waist, which is perfect since the days of wearing short shirts to show your belly button are so 1997. So this is actually the exact right length for the season.

And the color of the shirt is gorgeous. It's a destressed blue, and the way it contrasts with the strong print of the yellow crowns, it's really well thought out. I'm really impressed with it.

Pete really likes the design on his shirt, which was actually drawn by Chris himself. I think that's really cool. It's not just that this is a screen printing company. The t-shirts are actually made by personal designs. The shirt Pete got is great quality and he actually wore it on Thanksgiving with a button down, and it looked very nice, if I do say so myself.

So thank goodness for the warm weather so we can really get some use out of these.

There are long and short sleeved shirts for sale. But, if you don't want to buy one, maybe you can win one. Yup, one lucky reader is going to win an Ascensionary Brand Apparel t-shirt of his or her choice. All you have to do is click "read more" to enter in the Rafflecopter.

Victoria's Secret: FREE Panty On Wednesday

Pete and I just saw a commercial for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Of course, he said those girls aren't pretty to him. Which is a very nice thing to say. Although, really, even to me those girls are pretty.

Speaking of the show, readers Ann Marie and Aria both let me know that Victoria's Secret is advertising their show -- on your back end.

Yup, if you head over to this link you can print a coupon for a free panty. The only thing is, you don't really get a choice. You just get the one that's free -- which is an advertisement for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

But hell, free is free right?

The coupon is only valid only on Wednesday, November 30 and it's limit one per person.

Don't worry, we'll remind you about this on Wednesday.

Holiday Gift Guide: The Zhip

This post is part of Drugstore Divas' Holiday Gift Guide. Be sure to check out all the posts here.

Pete came over to help me clean my room, and into his bag went a few things that I had wanted him to take to his place for me.

So that night, he texts me with the picture in this post and says something along the lines of, "I have your Zhip." And I texted back something along the lines of, "I need to review it."

And that was the last chance I had of the Zhip being mine. Pete took it and absolutely fell in love with it. And I really can't blame him. See, the Zhip is an adjustable plastic clasp with a zip cord and build it stand.

Actually, that's a very good explanation.

If you can see it in Pete's dark photo above, it's basically a hand for your mp3 player, phone, whatever. You adjust the grip, put your phone or whatever it in, and it'll hold it for you.

Then, you can use the stand to prop it up, so you can use your devise wirelessly. Think about it as a cheaper [[$14.95 msp]] bluetooth.

It comes with a zip cord, and that's really cool. You can use it to strap this baby anywhere. Pete's used it to hold his phone and has used the zip cord to throw it around his rear view mirror.

More often than not, he puts him mp3 player in it and uses the stand to prop it up on his nightstand. Think about how great this would be to put your iPhone in and you can set it up for your kids to watch a movie on. It's the perfect accessory because, well, the iPhone doesn't come with a built in stand.

This is part of our Holiday Gift Guide because it's awesome and you need it. But buy two [[and you can do this via Amazon]] because chances are yours will go missing just like mine did.

Birthday Freebies: Sephora

November is my birthday month, so I'll be spending this whole month telling you about all the awesome Birthday Freebies I'm getting.

If your birthday is November, it's too late for you to register for these, but you can always get ready for next year ...

I braved the crowds on Black Friday, which is a long story for another blog post. I figured, while I was in the mall, I'd pick up my birthday freebie from Sephora.

Might as well, ya know.

Each year, Sephora gives out the best birthday freebies -- and this year I got a super cute vanilla birthday cake scented shampoo, shower gel and body wash 3-in-1. I love it.

I went in the store, handed over my Beauty Insider Card, and got my bottle absolutely free of charge. I have no shame when it comes to freebies. I don't feel compelled to buy something else to get my freebie. I'll get my freebie, in and out. That's it. And that's all I got.

I decided to take a picture of my receipt, just to show you that I did have a zero total, it was all I got, and the cashier didn't even blink and eye.

Free is awesome. Especially on your birthday.
