Hello All-
As you know, I am all about planning ahead and this requires a bit of prep work, but pays off big!
I have my list for birthdays and Christmas already created so I look for things that fit the recipients style.
Right now Macy's has several tables of handbags, small cosmetic type bags, scarves, etc. that are marked down 25%, an additional 40% off and if you use a Macy's savings pass available on their homepage or if you use your Macy's card savings is automatic for another 15% off! I got a couple of excellent deals on these tables and will tuck away for Christmas. My best find was a cosmetic bag that was close to $30 retail for $4.50!! I did use a $5 coupon for this, but that is a great deal! I can fill this with some fun treats that I will acquire the rest of the year and I have a great gift!
Happy Saving!

Posting Update-Find Me On Facebook Too!
Hello All-
I am sorry the posts have been a bit slow this summer. We have had a lot going on and my posting has slipped, so I am sorry. I hope to post 2-3 days a week this summer, but sometimes it is easier for me to pop up quick things I see daily on Facebook. I get a lot of emails and see lots of savings ideas daily and this is a quick way for me to post what I see. If you are on Facebook search for me "Summer Olsen Highfill" and add me as a friend...you will get fast posts about what I am seeing as well as larger savings stories and savings ideas on my blog.
Either way, keep saving!

The books this time are all non-fiction for a bit of older kids, but they are hardcover and all very interesting with great animal facts!
These make great gifts! They usually change out the selection every 4 months so this group will be here through early Fall.

Steal-Bath and Body Works Semi-Annual Sale
Hello All-
I love to stock up when prices are low, for my own consumption and gifts! One of the best chances to do this is the Bath and Body Works Semi-Annual sale. They always have great prices and incentives on items and don't forget your coupons!
Here is 1 of many savings examples. I like the Lay it on Thick shower cream. It retails for $15/bottle so I never buy it unless it is on sale. Right now you can buy 2 get 2 free on all True Blue Spa. So, for $30 I will get 4 bottles of shower cream and stock them. But, I have a survey coupon (received from a previous store purchase) that earns me $10 off $30, so I will actually get 4 bottles for $20! That is $5 bottle, a savings of 67%! That is great!
If you don't have a coupon in your coupon holder, do a google search for printable bath and body coupons. There are some for $10 off $40 out there as well as a few % off depending on what you are buying!
