My most recent haul came in at just under $7 yesterday $6.91 to be precise... 

Yes I got EVERYTHING pictured above for $6.91! 

The Jumping Bean Double Pack of Flip Flops were originally $18.99 they were on clearance for $5 and some change I used a $5 Kohls Cash e-mail coupon plus the current 15% off savings pass that expired 8/18/13 my grand total on these came to only 54 CENTS!

All items purchased were purchased in separate transactions and did follow Kohls coupon guidelines.

The following item I got was a pair of Sandals for my self I had one more $5 Kohls Cash e-mail coupon left so I wanted to find something reasonably cheap that I would wear / use I fell in love with these sandals in the coral color which was out in my size so the next best color was black as black goes with everything. These sandals were originally $19.99 on sale for just $7.99 after $5 Kohls Cash e-mail coupon they were $2.99 I stacked a 15% off savings pass with the Kohls Cash coupon and paid just $2.71 after tax for the sandals.

Kohls Couponing Haul: 2 Perfumes for under $15


Yesterday on my blog I made a post sharing a Kohls coupon for $10 off a $25 childrens apparel purchase that put me on a search for other Kohls coupons as I knew I would want to look at more than just clothes for Hallie. 

On the Kohls website I did find that there is a 15% off savings pass coupon. Kohls is very good about stacking coupons as long as they are different like a percent off coupon plus a $ off coupon. 

I also had a few $5 off e-mail sign up coupons. For those of you who don't know if you go to the Kohls website and sign up your e-mail address they will send you a $5 off coupon good off any purchase of $5 or more I have signed up all my e-mails and my relatives have done the same and forwarded me the coupons. 

My favorite coupon combo tends to be the $5 Kohls Cash e-mail coupon and the 15% Savings Pass I stack these too on the regular for clothes for Hallie. Don't worry I will be doing a haul video showcasing everything I got from Kohls last night but as of right now I'm showcasing what I picked my self up. 


Most of you know I am a perfume junkie and have an extensive collection. I know I know I have yet to do an updated perfume collection video but I'm not really satisfied with my collection there is so many more. Well the last thing I expected to see at Kohls was clearance perfumes this is the first time I ever seen name brand perfumes clearance at Kohls. 

The selection of perfumes varied from stores I went to two one location had Paris Hilton Tease, Juicy Couture Dirty English (Cologne), Mariah Carey Lollipop Splash Remix perfumes. My other location has the Mariah Carey Lollipop Splash Remix perfumes but it also had different fragrances like Sarah Jessica Parker NYC, Candies Fragrances and more. 

One of the fragrances I chose to pick up was the SJP NYC I remember this fragrance a few years ago when it released I had wanted it so bad but I will not pay $40 or more for a celebrity scent because they generally get re-distributed by coty and end up in holiday gift sets at Walmart for a fraction of the cost. I never really came across this one cheaper anywhere in store and it eluded my mind to look online as over the years I had moved on to other fragrances. When I seen my Kohls had this on clearance i had to grab it. It was originally $35.00 on clearance for $14.00 I had a $5 email coupon that took it down to $9 stacked a 15% off savings pass that bought the perfume down to $8.17 after tax. AWESOME DEAL! 


The second perfume I picked up was Mariah Carey Lollipop Splash The Remix Never Forget You wow that's a mouthful! Imagine if someone asked me what I was wearing and I had to repeat that! Based on the name and the packaging alone I would of never picked this up... This was the only clearance scent they had a tester out of so I chose to try it out and was pleasantly surprised I expected a sweet candy scent far from it this is a fruity floral which tends to be my favorite type of perfume over time as it settled on my skin it turned more into a fresh floral I liked this one more than I expected to. This one was clearance for $11.80 once again I used a $5.00 Kohls Cash Coupon taking this down to $6.80 stacked a 15% savings pass after tax I paid $6.17 for this fragrance. 

I see neither of these scents are on clearance on the Kohls website but there are others on the Kohls website clearance like Katy Perry Purr and Meow... I wish my store would of had Purr!

Victoria Secret $10 off ANY purchase of $10 or more


When it comes to getting mail next to getting packages of stuff I ordered I love getting mailers with coupons for free products or a substantial discount. Among my favorite mailers are the Victoria Secret mailers. 

About once a month I get a mailer from Victoria Secret that contains a coupon for a free panty which is totally awesome panties at Victoria Secret are 9.50 and up so to get a free pair is a nice score but what I like better is when they send out these $10 off $10 or more purchase coupons. I'm a bigger girl I can't fit those panties I always joke when it comes to Victoria Secret her secret is she doesn't make panties with enough fabric to cover my ass! I tend to mainly shop at Victoria Secret for bra's and body care. Generally with the free panty coupons comes a $10 off any bra coupon too which is nice but with these $10 off $10 purchase coupons I can use these on anythings even body care so I was glad to get this one pictured above. 

It doesn't begin till the 27th of August but you best believe once it does start I'm going to use it towards some smell goods. I will pry use it in conjunction with a sale such as 5 for $30 body care so I get the most bang for my buck sell pricing plus coupons = best value.

Bath & Body Works Weekend Freebie


I'm late posting this as I just seen it on Facebook, but Bath & Body Works is doing a weekend FREEBIE yes FREE No Purchase Necessary print the photo out  and go in store or use the code online. I would go in-store so you don't have to pay shipping and you get your choice of either a free Sweet Peony Dream Travel Size Lotion or a free Sexy Dahlia Rush Travel Size Body Lotion. 

I actually got Sweet Peony Daydream free the other day when I used my mailer and have to say I smelled both these scents and couldn't pick so I think I'm going to go back and get Sexy Dahlia Rush. Neither scent are completely unique but they do smell pretty and hey they are FREE!

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Noir


That's Right! A new addition to the Viva La Juicy Perfume Family! 

Viva La Juicy Noir 

introduced July 2013 I happened to stumble upon this yesterday when I was browsing a perfume wholesalers website and seen they had it but it had already sold out. I thought to my self what the heck? When did I miss out on a new fragrance like this coming out especially since I've been buying so many perfumes as of lately it was nearly impossible for me to miss out on the release of this. It sparked my interest without a doubt I tend to love Juicy Couture fragrances aside from Peace Love Juicy that just smells like ass... I meant grass... fresh cut green grass. 

I will say the "Noir" in the name did intimidate me I didn't want to order this scent blindly as when I think "Noir" I think strong dark musky scents. 

This I didn't find anything musky or dark really about it. I stopped in my local Macy's last night after leaving Victoria Secret to check and see if my perfume counter had already received it. its been a hot seller the lady told me they had 2 bottles left and offered me a paper card that she had spritzed the fragrance on. I was pleasantly surprised by this scent to me it smelled like the classic Viva La Juicy with a twist a grape twist now this is where things get a little fuzzy I recall it as a sweetened grape but I can't explain if I would explain the grape as more of a grape soda smell or more of a grape juice smell. Without a doubt to me its sugared grapes maybe more like a sangria smell which I guess would be the best description as the actual description states berries and not grapes. 

Here is the scent descriptionAn enticing rendition of the original best-selling fragrance, Viva la Juicy Noir embodies the woman who is dangerous in a good way. She likes her eyes smoky and her lips rouge. Unapologetic, she takes risks and gets rewarded. A rich interpretation of the signature Viva la Juicy scent, Viva la Juicy Noir highlights the succulent ripe berry notes and gourmand accents, while adding a juicy touch of honeysuckle and a sultry hint of sandalwood. Leave a lasting impression with Viva la Juicy Noir.

After my trip to Macy's I decided it was a scent I had to have not that I needed it I just had to have it LOL. I justified it as this week I get paid, I had birthday money ETC so I came home hopped online and found it nearly 50% off on eBay through a reputable seller. I did manage to purchase the 1.7fl oz for $39.99 which I felt was a fair price I HATE PAYING RETAIL! So look forward to seeing it in a future perfume haul.
