saturday's haul!

hey! so saturday i went shopping at a bunch of different places, but i wanted to share what i got a big lots, dollar general, and bed bath and beyond. in metairie there's a big lots and dollar general right next to each other, so why not go to both places while you're there? so i got four notebooks for school and two covergirl mascaras for $4! the mascaras were $1.50 each, and the notebooks were marked 24¢ but actually rang up as 17¢ each! ever since i was in middle school and/or big lots/mac frugals existed, i've always gotten a lot of school supplies and discounted makeup from them. i don't advise getting pens or mechanical pencils from them, as they sometimes work 50-50, brand new. but i like getting post-its, notebooks, filler paper, notecards, etc. from them because it's crazy cheap. so if you've got a big lots near you and you need to buy school supplies, they're the way to go! (office depot too, but big lots usually has these school prices year-round vs seasonally.) i've been wanting to try olay's pore minimizing cleanser & scrub, which i found at dollar general for about $7. then, since bed bath and beyond has cosmetics/drug store products, i got almay's get up and grow mascara (~$6) and posh angled blush brush (not pictured, ~$7). i've been wanting another angled blush brush, in addition to my two sigma ones--but cheaper and locally. they had these on display for you to feel them, so i decided to give it a try. we returned so many wedding gifts (and still have a few to return) and have mucho dinero's worth of credit with bbb, so i'll be buying what i can from them, rather than going to ulta or cvs. hope you guys had an awesome weekend and fun at school--if it starts this week! we start next week. ~Lin-chan ^.~
