Stylish Savings: How to Find Them, Where to Get Them

Alright folks, I'm shaking things up around here!

 

Wednesday is our long-standing sale day, but I'm postponing it to Friday this week.  Instead, I'm going to give you my tips and tricks for finding those fabulous deals that I bring to you.  Why would I do such a thing?  Because my time with Saving with Style is coming to an end.  Yes, I'm sad about it too, but it's been a year already! Can you believe it?

 

So, we'll do sales on Friday this week. Now, let's get to it.

 

First, head to the Upromise Online Shopping Page.

 

Click "coupon and deals."

 

Here is where it gets fun. You can sort alphabetically if you know the store name you're looking for, OR, you can sort by expiration date! That's what I always do! It's the best.

 

For me, who's easily amused, it's become a bit of a game. Like, what's the best possible deal I can find at the very last minute. It's like booking a hotel at two seconds before you run out the door and realizing that you got a great deal because they were underbooked!!!

 

Many of these deals are just too good to pass up. And, even though I won't be around much longer to point them out, you should still totally take advantage of them.

 

What are some other ways to get keen on the Upromise deals?

Subscribe to the RSS feed.  Who doesn't log in and read their favorite blogs everyday? Now you can get the top coupon codes and deals right along next to them.

 

Follow @Upromise on Twitter.  Just like Facebook, you can see what other members have to say about the deals they're getting, and share some tips of your own.

Shop for Mom and Save Money for College

Knock, knock.

 

Mother's Day is right around the corner. And if you're like me, you refuse appliances for this very important day. Shower me with kisses, books, the right to lay on the couch and watch gobs of trashy television, but do NOT, under ANY circumstance, buy me an appliance for Mother's Day.

 

Unless of course I've asked specifically for said appliance for said holiday; then it's okay.

 

So, in lieu of appliances, what gifts are Mother's Day approved?  Try shopping at one of these four stores.

 

eLuxury :: treat mom to a new piece of translucent jewelry by Louis Vuitton or a handbag by Fendi - plus take an extra 40% off already reduced sale prices.

 

Yoox :: the leader in luxury, grab mom gear from Marc Jacobs, D&G, Chloe' and Versace, just to name a few; she'll be the bell of the ball in her new designer duds.

 

Kohl's :: on the budget end of the gift spectrum, Kohl's has jewelry to fit every mom - from big and bold to demure and subtle; plus, while you're there, be sure to enter their contest for a $15,000 family vacation.

 

Linea Pelle :: one of the newest Upromise partners, you get a whopping 10% in college savings!  Gorgeous handbags, bracelets and belts are up for sale and you'd be crazy not to shower mom with gifts from Linea Pelle.

 

See you Wednesday with more Stylish Sales!
