Tip Tuesday on a Wednesday: Back to School Savings Tips

Here are some tips that could save you big bucks on back to school shopping items.

Coupons: I know I say this all the time, but really, coupons make a huge difference in your bottom line. Remember, some stores offer double coupons. Also, you can stack a manufacturer coupon and store coupon together to save even more!

Price Match: A lot of stores offer a price match guarantee if you have a sale ad from a local competitor. They don't want to lose your business to "the other guy" and it saves you gas and time which is also saving money. Be aware that most stores do not match a percentage off, but will match a dollar value for an identical item. Check out the store policy ahead of time to make sure they price match. Then...stack those coupons! :)

Clearance: Summer clothes are being clearanced out so stock up on fun colors for the kiddos because most young ones love to wear bright colors no matter what season it is; bright socks, tshirts, and tank tops. Tank tops? Yes, girls sometimes have a shirt that can be a little sheer. Tank tops work just like a cami to cover up what you don't want seen and you can get them really cheap right now.

That is it for this week's tip. Working on an organization video next week that I hope you all will love! Stay tuned.... :)

Tip Tuesday on a Wednesday: Take a Picture Just in Case

Recently I had seen a post on Facebook that I wanted to share with you all. More and more I see postings of missing people and this is a great idea to do just in case:

 

Whenever you are about to leave somewhere with your family, take a few minutes to take picture of each family member. Hopefully you won't need them, but if something happens or if someone ends up lost or missing, you will have pictures of exactly how they look that day and what they were wearing. Everyone that has a camera or camera phone in your group should do this.

 

It's sad to even think about and a lot of people think it couldn't happen to them...but it CAN.

This also is a great idea for anyone that has a special needs child or child that tends to run off in stores. Pull the picture up on your phone so the workers helping you look for your child will know exactly what to look for.

 

I hope this Tip Tuesday (on a Wednesday this week) was helpful. Be sure to check back for weekly tips or sign up to have my blog posts emailed to you. :)

Tip Tuesday: Must Show Drivers License at CVS For Nail Polish Remover

Hi everyone! Here's a very interesting Tip Tuesday for you this week. Have your I.D. ready on a beauty product at CVS. According to my local news here in Michigan, CVS will now be requiring you to show your drivers license to purchase nail polish remover. Yes, you read that correctly...nail polish remover! You will need to be 18+ years old to be able to make the purchase.

 

Apparently, acetone is an ingredient used in the production of methamphetamine (meth) and CVS will be tracking these purchases in hopes to help reduce the making of this illegal substance. Will all pharmacy and grocery stores hop on the bandwagon of carding for polish remover? Only time will tell. I will link the article here if you would like to learn more.

 

I hope you enjoyed this week's Tip Tuesday. Not my typical type of tip (say that 10x fast, lol), but I wanted you all to be aware. My question to you is this: How do you feel about being carded for nail polish remover?

Tip Tuesday: How To Make Nail Polish Color More Opaque

We all do it. We buy nail polish because of the beautiful color we see in the bottle. Unfortunately, when you apply it to your nails it isn't always as vibrant and can even apply quite sheer. Here is an easy tip to help get that beautiful color you were expecting:

Apply a white nail polish before applying the color you want. You will find this brightens the color and  makes the polish appear more opaque.

Extra Tip: Make sure to always apply a base coat to protect your natural nail from discoloring. Also apply a top coat to help your manicure last longer.
