Coupon Update

Thanks to a certain person who wishes to remain anonymous (a certain MB, who isn't Merryl Biber...), here is a Friends and Family coupon for Steve Madden. Let's all give this mystery person a big THANK YOU!



Everyone knows about my love of Tasti DLite, but sometimes, I am not a fan of my local Tasti's flavors. That is when I am grateful for the makers of Skinny Cow. Many of us are familiar with their uber delicious flying saucers, but they have just started making individual ice cream cups.

free coffee :)

While I am a devoted, gold card toting Starbucks fan, I also do love DD...especially when it's free! Dunkin Donuts is giving away a Free Small Iced Coffee on May 11.

Dunkin Donuts Free Small Iced Coffee

Plus, if you sign up for Dunkin Donuts perks, you get a coupon for a free medium size coffee in the mail and a free coffee on your birthday.

To enroll in DD Perks, click here.

For those who prefer their beverages from Seattle...check out the S'bucks happy hour.



Plus, if you love Starbucks, you too can become a Gold Card member. Instead of paying for your latte with cash or a credit card, use your registered Starbucks card (the ones you would usually give as gifts to other people), to earn stars. One swipe of the Starbucks card equals one star. 30 stars = gold status. With gold status you get a personalized gold card, a free drink on your birthday, free syrups, free soy milk and a free drink every 15 stars!

too good to pass up!

There are certain stores you can always count on to have frequent coupons. Then there are the stores that rarely have coupons, so when they do it is a big deal. This is one such big deal. As many of you know, my sister and I were able to use a similar coupon code to buy our Hunters at 30% off. Hunters in black are not only tough to find, but they are also never on sale. So if you are on the market for a certain bag, a pair of shoes or a great pair of jeans, look on Piperlime today and get 20% off.



p.s. - don't forget to go to Piperlime through ebates.com so that you can earn 2% cashback.

why buy it, if you can sample it?

As my roommate can tell you, I like getting the mail. Not only do I love checking for my issue of Us Weekly or the latest J. Crew catalog, but I also love checking for free samples. To me, getting a free sample is the best high out there. Who needs drugs when you can get a free sample of your favorite hand lotion or perfume? Plus they're cheaper!

Because I received a Sample Showcase of samples today, I decided it was time for me to spread the love with others out there.

Aveda is one of the best sample givers. If you sign up at aveda.com and provide your birthday, you will get a coupon around your birthday for a special sample. Plus, there are always coupons available online for free samples such as this one:



You can get this sample in any of the Aveda stores. Their locations in New York are:


COLUMBUS CIRCLE
10 Columbus Circle STE 308

If you love perfumes (who doesn't), head over to your local Sephora store. I recently discovered that they will make you a personalized sample of your favorite scent in a reusable and refillable (great for travelling) spritzer.

I also am a huge fan of the Sample Showcase, which I must have stumbled upon during one of my online sample research missions. But everyone should sign up for their emails so that you too can get a box of goodies in the mail.
Click here.

Another great sample giver is Proctor and Gamble. In just a few short weeks, you will receive a box of fun goodies in your mailbox.
To sign up click here.

Finally, our friends at the women friendly employer, Walmart, are also great sample givers. Every week or so, they have a new product that you can sign up to receive a sample of. This week's sample is of Eucerin body lotion. Would you buy it? Maybe. Will you sample it? Why not?

Happy Sampling!
