Nice toilet paper 6 rolls  is on sale this month but I have heard that the prices vary by region. In my area they are on sale for 2/$5 but wait it gets better. This week Nice toilet paper is Buy One, Get One Free!

Here is the deal scenario:

Buy One, Get One Free

= $1.25 each

**After I made my first purchase, a catalina coupon printed to get $2 off a Nice toilet paper product! Whaaaat? So I headed back into the store and bought 2 more packages but this time with the $2.00 coupon, they were $0.25 each for a 6 roll package. Not everyone will get this catalina so just be on the look out for it and be sure to cash in on this awesome deal!

Ideas on How to Create a Cheap but Memorable Halloween Costume

Posted on Updated on

cowboy costume

If you don’t find yourself to be the most creative person, like myself. Not wanting to create a costume from scratch, but also do not want to go to the Halloween store and spend a lot of money on a costume, here are a few tips.

Plan ahead when piecing a costume together. A year ahead of time to be exact. Look for deals on costumes after Halloween is over. Stores typically take 50% off right away and then increase markdowns up to 90% off over the course of a few weeks afterwards.

Keep in mind that pre-packaged costumes at the store are kind of generic, made with cheap materials that are fabricated in mass production. You can help hide this fact by adding fun accessories. Look around your house for items you can add to your costume or borrow them from someone who you know has what you need to complete that spooky look. Still coming up short? Try your local thrift stores and consignment shops but start looking as early as possible. You’ll take the pressure off yourself plus you won’t be competing with other shoppers in finding that right piece.

Here is what I did for my son this Halloween. I picked up the base of the cowboy costume (the vest, chaps and hat) last year at Walmart for only $3.00. I bought the long sleeved shirt at Once Upon a Child for $2.80. It was originally $3.50 but I had a coupon for 20% of entire purchase. I bought my son a winter coat as well. I picked up the boots for $2.00 at Village Discount Outlet. They are the Cherokee brand sold at Target. The horse was a hand-me-down toy my son received from his Great Aunt and the hanky was borrowed from my father. Clean of course! All for under $8.00. You can’t beat that.

I have a feeling “Woody” will be watching Toy Story a few more times before this year is over. 😉

Posted on Updated on

Photo source: Victoria’s Secret

Victoria’s Secrets— Now through October 28th, if you are an angel card holder, you can score a secret reward card with any purchase of at least $10. Secret reward cards will also be worth at least $10 but they can be worth from $50, $100, or $500! When purchasing online, use the code, EARLYANGEL. The secret reward cards can then be redeemed in stores, online but excluding outlets, starting December 5th through the 20th. For those angel card holders who are celebrating a birthday in October and still have your $10 birthday gift card that was sent in the mail, you can use that towards your initial purchase, reducing your out-of-pocket even further!

Valid today only, use code VSFASHION at checkout to score FREE shipping off a $25 purchase of qualifying clothing or shoes, excluding clearance. That is pretty awesome, considering you usually have to spend at least $50 to receive free shipping.

code ends today vs

Remember, your purchase must be at least $10 before shipping and tax.

If you are not an angel card holder, don’t worry. Starting October 29th, you can also earn a secret reward card with a qualifying purchase.

Lastly, if you shop through Shop at Home, you can earn 4% back on your purchase through Hip 2 Save’s exclusive offer! Hey, every bit helps. 😉

Thank You, Hip 2 Save for the heads up on this deal.
