So glad you’ve come to The Frugal Find, I look forward to helping you save money this shopping season and beyond! Here are my top online shopping tips, just in time for Cyber Monday! OK but seriously KTVU, how did you get thefrugglesigns.com as my website name?
I used to be very hesitant shopping online, the deals weren’t the same as the rock bottom prices you’d find in the stores and the clearance pages online often had only one size or one color left of a particular item. Not to mention the shipping costs! However that has changed immensely this year. We’re seeing savings codes galore and many websites are stocking their sale items just as they would a retail store. The opportunities to save are everywhere and often the deals are more cost effective than packing up and heading to your local store.
3 ways to save online:
1. Take advantage of websites thatcompile online coupon codes. I always check these sites first to find out if there is a % off code or a free shipping code, and often there are. Savings.com has one of the largestcompilations of coupon codes around. With thousands of Deal Pros feeding the site with codes it’s proven to be one of the most consistent and valuable resources online. It’s an online community where a bunch of savvy deal shoppers can give and take for the benefit of everyone.
2. Use social media to find the best prices and deals. You can follow several hashtags on Twitter (#deals #coupons #savings) or Facebook to keep up with the deals as they are released. Several stores are now using Twitter or Facebook to prime us for the u coming Holiday deal sales. They’re either giving hints to items that will be at rock bottom prices or offering followers a peak at the sales ads in advance. We’re able to prepare and share the deals with ample time to avoid the week-long wait for the next sales ad.
3. Shop through incentive cash-back programs. Once I’ve found the codes from websites like Savings.com and the deals from Twitter or Facebook I then check Cashbaq, Ebates , and Shop At Home to see which incentive program is offering the highest rate of return.
HOT Cyber Monday online shopping deal –
TODAY ONLY for Cyber Monday both GAP.com and OldNavy.com are offering 20% off of EVERYTHING, plus FREE shipping with no minimum purchase required. Just use code MONDAY at checkout. If you shop through Shop At Home you will get an extra 20% cash back! I’ve saved both gas and time while shopping from the convenience of my own home. Plus it’s always an exciting day when the packages and cash back checks arrive in the mail!

I posted a shopping trip shout out on Facebook and gathered a few local women who wanted to go shopping with me, the store – Target. I had a pile of coupons that I wanted to use and I gave them fair warning that this coupon trip wasn’t for the faint at heart. I had a goal, my total had to reach $150.00 before coupons so I could use a Target coupon that I got in the mail (on the back of a catalog). It was for a free $15.00 Target Gift Card if my total was $150.00 or more. Of course I would never dream of spending that much money at Target, so the thought came to mind to just discard that coupon. THEN I remembered the glade deal, the new Bertolli deal, and of course the Free Santa Buddies movie (not pictured because I already gave it away!).
These are the deals that I did:

People often ask me why do I bother clipping coupons, it must be SO time consuming and how can it be worth the effort. Besides the fact that we have to, there are so many other reasons. One being…I can easily justify buying my favorite make-up! Even better when it’s as cheap as it is now! With that said, this is an incredibly frugal investment. You all know how expensive even over-the-counter make-up can be. Bare Escentuals lasts FOREVER, I easily get 6 months out of each kit, maybe even more!
.
Right now at Sephora, the Bare Escentuals starter kit is on sale from $60 down to $48, it contains a $174 worth of make-up if bought individually! Silly how they do it I know, but it’s always cheaper for me just to buy another starter kit even if I am not out of everything at once.
.
If you make your purchase through ShopAtHome you’ll get an extra 8% Cash Back! Plus if you’re new to ShopAtHome they’ll start you off with $5.00 in your account!
Here are the steps:
- Log In/Register for ShopAtHome
- Search for Sephora through your ShopAtHome account
- Go to Sephora, once you’re there click on the “Brands” drop down menu on the top right until you see Bare Escentuals
- On the front of the Bare Escentuals page you’ll see the $48 offer (ENDS 12/1)
- Check-out and enter code GETSTARTED for Free Shipping
Thanks She Saved for tipping me off to this great deal!
