Shopping the Black Friday Sales

I'm quite glad that most stores are posting their online Black Friday Sales early. This makes it so much easier then having to do all the shopping in just one day.

Get Paid to Shop - Ebates

Get paid for shopping online? ... That's exactly what Ebates does.

Ebates offers its members cash back every time an order is placed online. Ebates gets a commission from stores to refer shoppers to their websites and in return they share that commission with us the shoppers. Pretty cool right.

I have mentioned the use of Ebates several times over on Facebook and I figured I would explain a little more since a couple of you had questions. I started using Ebates a couple months ago and boy am I happy that I did. I already received my first check. At first I was a little skeptical but I figured I had nothing to lose. I tend to do most of my shopping online so why not make money from my purchases.

Using Ebates is actually quite easy. First you need to create an account. Then you simply just shop. The most important thing is to always begin every shopping trip from the Ebates page or else they have no way of tracking your purchase.

For example, Let's do some online shopping at Nordstrom. I begin my shopping trip at Ebates.com and log into my account. Then search for Nordstrom and check the current offers and deals. When I'm ready I click SHOP NOW and Ebates takes me over to the Nordstrom website. I am now ready to shop and place my order. The order is tracked and my account is credited. 

Now think about all the online shopping you. How much money could you get back for simply signing up and shopping through Ebates? I see $$$$ signs.

Are you ready to give Ebates a try and get paid for shopping?

TOMS for Target is HERE!

TOMS Clutch

The day finally arrived, TOMS for Target is here. I hope that you were all able to get the items you wanted.  I shopped online and was able to get all the items I wanted but I also wanted to stop by my local Target and see the whole collection "live" and take photos. Since I stayed up til 4:00 AM shopping the collection, I did not make it to my Target store til 2:00 PM. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the shelves were still stocked. The only item that sold out was the Ruana Poncho. I have got to say that my favorite pieces of the collection are the zippered clutches...all of them. The photos online don't do them justice. They look so much better in person - love the designs, colors and size.

How did your TOMS for Target shopping experience go?

TOMS for Target

ONE FOR ONE, FOR ALL

We are days away from the release of the anticipated TOMS for Target Collection. How many of you have been counting down the days? This is a great collection just in time for holiday shopping. I would love to get any of these items as a gift. This is also a great collection because TOMS is a  "one for one" business. For every item that TOMS sells, they in return donate one item to help those in need. That's exactly what this Target + TOMS collaboration is about. For every item that this collection sells - shoes, blankets and meals will be given to the less fortunate. Talk about guilt free shopping. 

The collection consists of 50+ apparel, accessories and home items all under $50. TOMS for Target will be available in stores and online this Sunday, November 16th.

Faribault + Target

I don't know about you but I LOVE collaborations. They give you the opportunity to get designer items at affordable prices and the pieces are exclusive limited edition. Lately, there have been so many collaborations and we have another one thanks to Target.

Target has teamed up with Faribault Woolen Mill Company to bring us an exclusive limited edition collection. The collection consists of American-made accessories ranging from scarves and blankets to weekend duffle bags in an array of stripes and plaid patterns. All items are made with the company's signature 100% wool textiles and are now available for purchase online. 

Don't forget to check your Christmas shopping list because these pieces make great gifts. I'm really loving all the pieces in the Prairie Stripe pattern; so chic and feminine. Which ones will I get....can't decide.
