Erin: Hello and welcome to the Frugalicious
Show, I'm Erin Brooks and this
is my co-host in savings, Ms Bitsy Jennings
Bitsy: Hello Erin, and hello to all our Frugalicious
viewers out there. You
know Erin, what's one of the most important
things about being
Frugalicious?
Erin: Saving money?
Bitsy: Actually, looking good while your'e
doing it. Today we're talking
about looking good for less.
Erin: Amen to that. Now do you remember when
Dolly Parton said it takes a
lot of money to look this cheap?
Bitsy: I do, but at Frugalicious we say it
doesn't take a lot of money to
look great. I'm sorry Dolly.
Erin: [laughs] Ok one of the biggest money
drops today for women is the
cost of beauty. We're all obsessed with the
perfect hair, no frizz,
wrinkle-free skin, rosy red cheeks, but it
can cost a lot of money to do
that. So how do we do that for less?
Bitsy: Well the first thing we gotta do is
start with our standby - it's
coupon codes, and place like retailmenot has
hundreds of coupons, some for
about 20% off, which is a fifth off of retail
for everything from salon
services to the products hair care, everything.
AND, then there's another
new website called CheapStingyBargains.com
Erin: I'm sorry could you repeat that website
again?
Bitsy: CheapStingyBargains.com it's the trifecta
of savings
Erin: Yes
Bitsy: And we love it, they have a 25% off
cosmetics at Lord and Taylor -
yeah sign me up!
Erin: Me too please!
Bitsy: I'm in.
Erin: And don't forget to get special treatment
from the stores you already
love, all you have to do is ask and many stores
like Sacks and Nordstroms
will put you on their customer list to be
hip to all their deals, gifts
with purchases that they don't release to
the general public. And let's
talk about Sephora here for a second,
Bitsy: [singing] Ahhhhhh!
Erin: Beauty, Sephora. What woman doesn't
like Sephora? If you go to
Sephora online you can sign up to be a beauty
insider and they will email
you deals exclusively to your inbox.
Bitsy: I'm a beauty insider.
Erin: Are you really?
Bitsy: A card-carrying member of the Sephora
club, and they give me
birthday gifts.
Erin: And what did you get for your birthday
this year?
Bitsy: Lip gloss.
Erin: Yaaaaay
Bitsy: I mean who doesn't want lip gloss for
their birthday? Or eyeshadows
or anything, and it's free to sign up, so
do it, and you'll be a happy
birthday mommy too.
Erin: And, if you sign up with Sephora online,
and your'e going to shop
online, make sure you do it through Ebates
Rebates. It's one of our
Frugalicious recommended cash-back sites and
when you shop for Sephora
products via Ebates Rebates, you earn 8% cash
back AND you get $5 for every
friend you refer.
Bitsy: I mean finally it pays to shop, that's
awesome. Love it.
Erin: Yes. Stay tuned, we'll have some great
information when we come back.
Bitsy: More beauty!
