Nail Mail

I got a ton of goodies in the mail today. The first package I received is my most recent Copious order. I bought Sally Hansen Crackle polishes in Cherry Smash and Distressed Denim. I got them both for 1 cent total! I love the crackles and I've been wanting more of them, so I can't wait to try these out. Distressed Denim I've been wanting, so Cherry Smash here is just a bonus :)

This week at Walgreens, they're selling Sinful Colors for 99 cents each. If you hurry and go to Walgreens.com, you can get an additional 15% off your order and free shipping when you spend over $25. "Orders must be placed by July 28, 2012 at 11:59pm Central Time to qualify." Just use the code JULY15 at checkout.

Yes, I'm aware of the Sinful Colors drama. I ordered my polishes before this drama came up, and I couldn't change it or cancel it. While I'm not going to buy more Sinful Colors polishes until I hear what the bloggers effected have to say... and see some more action from Revlon, I'm not going to throw out my polish either. Waste not, want not. I'm also aware not everyone has turned against Sinful Colors, so if you want to take advantage of an awesome offer.. here ya go!

I ended up paying 84 cents for my four polishes. Wet n Wild is already 99 cents, so I was able to get that discounted as well and get it at 84 cents. This is the first Wet n Wild polish I've gotten since I was a kid. Back then, it was my go to brand and I can't wait to try this one out. Anyway, I bought Wet n Wild Night Prowl, Sinful Colors Rich in Heart, Bali Mist and Nail Junkie. Looking at my most recent purchases, I seem to be on a purple and teal binge.. I'll have to keep that in mind and find some different colors next time!

I also bought a ton of household items while they were on sale: maxi pads, hair brushes, index cards, Ajax, bar soap and a couple of different kinds of shampoo and conditioner. I ended up spending less money than I typically would for these items, but I got more expensive brands of shampoo and conditioner. I will definitely be buying from Walgreens.com more often if I can take advantage of these kinds of sales... I ended up saving over $20 and only spent about $25!

Lastly, this is some mail from yesterday, actually. BIC was giving away free markers on Facebook and I managed to snag one! It's a BIC Mark It Fine Point Permanent Marker in the Hot Aqua color. I also received a coupon for $2 off a pack of 8 markers.. this I may use! We can never have too many markers in a house of artists.

I also saved almost $40 on groceries this week so it's been a pretty good week of savings for me!
