Love the Pomeroy Candle from Macy's!

I was going to wait until Saturday to check out the Macy's Super Weekend Sale, but I went this evening after work. I was surprised to find a parking space immediately by the Womens clothing department at Oakridge Mall in San Jose. I quickly browsed through the Womens clothing, then went to the second floor to the Home department. I went straight to the Clearance table. You couldn't miss it with the red table cloth draped on top of it. I had smelled the Pomeroy White Thyme and Ginger candle before and loved it instantly. The fresh, light scent of ginger was pleasing to my senses. I purchased the only large-size votive I saw for only $8.39 with an additional 10% off with the Macy's coupon (down from $13.99). Packaged in a cream-colored glass, this candle will compliment any room in the house. Yes, there's several other items I could have purchased, but this was all I wanted. The sale runs through this Sunday. Have fun finding good buys. I always do!

Macy's Super Weekend Sale starts today!

OMG! Macy's is having another sale, and this one's big. If you shop at Macy's as much as I do, you know Macy's has sales consistently throughout the year. But, some are better than others. And, starting today, is Macy's Super Weekend SALE, January 13-17th! I'll brouse through Womens clothing as I always do and in the Home department. I love candles and reed diffusers, so I'll see what nice scents I can find at a bargain price. You have four days to take advantage of the sale, so have fun shopping.

Luckys 3 Day Sale

Luckys 3 Day Sale is coming to an end today, and there's a few great buys you should take advantage of. I love Navel oranges, and they're only $0.27 cent a pound! I filled up two plastic bags of them, so I'll enjoy Navel oranges (while getting Vitamin C) for a few weeks. At that low price, I had to stock up! Ground beef is $1.58 a pound, something you can use in several dishes. Hurry before the sale ends!

Holiday Clearance at Bath & Body Works

One of the things I love about Bath & Body Works is their clearance sales, and I look forward to them every year. You never know what goodies you'll find in the blue bins at 50 and 75% off. I contemplated buying the True Blue Spa foot cream a few days ago that was 75% off, only because I have about four smaller tubes in stock. Then I thought, "why not at that price"? An eight ounce tube was only $5.00, regularly $20.00. Although packaged in holiday decorations, it's a large tube of foot cream that should last a while. I use foot cream every day, so I know I'll enjoy it. As fate would have it, I bought the last two that were in the same bin yesterday. I also bought the last two C.O. Bigelow Mentha Foot Tingling Foot Cream at 75% off, too, regularly $14.00 each! If you want to take advantage of the clearance sale, go to your local Bath & Body Works store before the sale ends on the 16th! I guarantee, you'll find something you can use at a bargain price.

Start the New year with Good Buys!

Happy New Year everyone! My New Year is off to a good start. I went out of town to visit my family but just had to get in a little shopping before my visit. I stopped by the Sun Valley Mall in Concord where I browsed at JC Penney, Macy's, and Lane Bryant. But, it was Bath & Body Works where I found a good buy on some anti bacterial soaps. I purchased five hand soaps at 75% off, regularly $5.00 each! These soaps make great gifts and are a must-have in every household. The clearance sale is still on at many Bath & Body Works, so be sure to stop by.

After Christmas bargins!

While browsing in the women's lingerie section at JCPenney, I found a pair of pajama bottoms and a top on Clearance for $8.80 each! I saved an additional 15% with a coupon I received from an online survey, which saved me an additional $2.64. If you're familiar with Jack Daniel's Coffee, you know you can usually find it at Target during the holidays. I purchased the one can I found this evening at Target at 75% off for only $2.49! This is a great buy I look forward to making every year after Christmas. So, I got a good buy on a pair of pajamas and some of my favorite coffee. These two purchases made my day.

After Christmas Shopping

Is it me, or does it feel like "the day after Christmas blues?" I did some after Christmas shopping in Vallejo, and to my surprise, some of the stores I browsed in weren't busy. It's as if Christmas was a distant memory that happened weeks ago. I noticed a few workers restocking shelves with Christmas merchandise at CVS that was 50% off. But, the hustle and bustle and long lines seem to be a thing of the past. Target was fairly crowded (as they often are), and Bed Bath & Beyond had a number of shoppers in the mid afternoon. Costco was busy, too, as it often is on Sundays. I stopped by The Avenue, too, this afternoon and was given a friendly greeting as usual. For a few minutes, I was the only customer in the store! There were several items at 50% off. I browsed in the clearance section for a few minutes, then left. If you've been following my blog for the past month, you know I've bought several items at The Avenue on sale and clearance that have pleased me a great deal. I hope everyone had a nice Christmas. I look forward to bringing you more "good buys & good eats" in 2011.
