I decided to venture out and do a little (frugal) shopping today. I trudged through the snow and took the train downtown. I wanted to look around Borders to see how I could best use my $15 in Borders Bucks that I earned through E-Rewards. As luck would have it, I was able to get 7 books (all $1 clearance) and a calender (also $1 clearance). The cashier was really nice and explained that Borders Bucks work just like cash and I have until the end of the month to use the remaining $7.
I also was interested in trying out some "grown-up" makeup and was drawn to the Clinique counter at Macy's. Maybe because it was downtown, but I just didn't feel appreciated as a customer. I opted not to buy anything because of how I felt, so Borders ended up being my only purchase. Update: I went on Clinique's website and saw that it was bonus time at Carson's. So, I ended up spending $30 on eye liner and some under eye concealer and received a gift bag with mascara, blush, lipstick, lipgloss, trial face wash, eye cream for free!! I realize this isn't entirely frugal, but I still feel like I got a good deal on higher quality make-up.
On the way home I stopped at Jewel and they had the new double stuff Oreos so I was able to use my 2 free coupons. Score!!
