I am super stoked to be posting on this blog again! I haven't been posting in these past few years because I had taken a break from shopping/deal hunting and stopped having things to post but recently I've been finding a lot more great deals and realized that I would LOVE to start this up again and continue sharing whatever I have along the way.
So this is a beauty haul purchase that I've made a few weeks ago on January 26th. I'm not sure how these stores' clearance sections are looking now in mid February since mid January is usually when all stores are trying to clearance all of their old stuff but it doesn't hurt to give these places a look now or just keep in mind for next year or the next half of the year (mid-July) when stores clearance a lot of stuff again.
So first, Bed Bath and Beyond - I rarely even step foot in here and I just went in to get a bottle of goo gone but I saw that they had a huge clearance section for Christmas stuff as well as beauty items and housewares with an extra 50% or 75% off!
Originally I bought two bottles of shampoo, but at the register the cashier told me I could stack coupons on clearanced items so I'm like....I'll be back haha. My dad always keeps a stack of BB&B coupons because they technically never expire, so hold on to them!! They always either have a 20% off single item or $5 off $15, so I grabbed one of the latter, and returned the next week to return what I bought and buy more stuff to be able to use the coupon.
The end result:
-3 bottles of Yes to Blueberries body wash
-2 bottles of Yes to Cucumbers shower gel
-1 bottle of Pacifica tuscan blood orange body wash
-1 Bottle Ahava oil makeup remover
-2 plastic tablecloths for my mom (not pictured)
Everything was already really cheap, mostly all $6 with an extra 75% so around $1.50 but with the $5 off $15 coupon, IT WAS INSANEEEE!!
My total ended up being $14.98 and I was like "oh no!!! I didn't reach the $15 for the coupon" and was filled with dread because I thought I had perfectly calculated everything but the cashier told me that as long as it is within 22 cents of the cut off it's fine (for example a purchase of $14.88 would've sufficed) and I was like HOORAY!! and my total ended up being $10.84 for 9 items
Also, all of the beauty items here are sulfate and paraben free which is something I've been trying to look for in future products that I purchase so an extra bonus!
And these are just two things I picked up from Target - a Bare Republic SPF 30 spray sunscreen for $3.98 and a Little Seed Farm charcoal soap for $1.50!! You always need sunscreen in the summer so why not stock up before then on ones on clearance? The sunscreen is paraben free and the soap is also paraben, gluten and GMO free with no animal testing.
These brands are just getting better and better, especially with the increase in demand with more transparency in our products and how they are made. It's also great knowing that it's possible to try out these more premium products at a low price if you look hard enough at the right times!
