Belle of the bargain ball

My (50% off) gown arrived today for a gala I am attending on Saturday.  I put it on, then added 4 inch heels.  The dress was still a solid 8 inches too long.  Frantic search for speedy - cheap - alterations option ensues.

Well, the result was so excellent that I have to share!  With a Nordstroms credit or debit card you get $100 of free alterations a year.  And, free parking at Merrick Park.  Amazing.

Hands please

Do you see those mani/pedi deals every day but don't need a pedi that often?  Well, it's official I've seen a mani only deal for the first time ever and it's a good one.  $8 for a manicure in South Miami.  Too bad I can only buy one!

On a side note, did you know there is no word for toes in Spanish? This bothers me. A lot.

In need of a staycation?

Well, here's a great one for you!

Enjoy a day of bliss with this $99 deal.  Add up a 1-hour massage, pedicure, lunch, champagne, tiki hut rental on the beach, and valet parking and you have a whole lot of relaxation.  Get together a group, or just have a day to yourself.  Either way, enjoy!

(P.S. I'm pretty sure that the massage is inside and then you go to your tiki hut, so don't be misled by my photo choice.)

Deal done right

So many times a deal isn't really a deal.   Yeah, you get a great price but you either would NEVER spend that much (i.e. yesterday's $10 for a hefty $20 at Chicken Kitchen) or you would spend so much more that the 54% off ends up becoming 10% off before you're done.


Well, today we have a deal done right!

$16 for $32 to spend at The Melting Pot.  And, in case you were wondering, I'll share my research.  Cheese and Dessert courses are each $16.  So, grab the deal, grab a friend and treat yourself to some yumminess at a great price.

Pumpkin time

How many emails did you get today about pumpkin being back?  I got lots, but only one included a deal!

Get a $10 Starbucks card for just $5.  Good deal.  Even better deal if you get reimbursed at the full cost for work meeting  beverages.  Just saying....

Want to give a pumpkin gift?  Check out Quilty Pleasure.  New Fall designs, coming soon.

Yeah, yeah, I know....

I'm a slacker, get over it!

But, to help earn my way back into your good graces, here's a coupon for $5 off of $50.  Just print page 16 and bring it in to Winn-Dixie or Publix.  

You're welcome.

Time to go shopping!

Gas cards are back, that means it's a stock up week at Publix.
