Hey! I am happy to have a great post for today written by Elizabeth at The Thrifty Divas.
We’re all looking for ways to streamline our budget and save money. It is estimated that women spend nearly 40% of their paycheck to pay for beauty products, hair maintenance and personal care routine. Wow, that is a huge number! It’s no secret that women want to look and feel good!
How can we become savvy shoppers when it comes to our beauty care ritual? Here are some helpful tips to save money while looking and feeling good:
Hold a beauty swap meet with friends and neighbors. Do you really use all of your beauty products anyway? You’ll save money and put unused makeup to good use.
Go green and save! Origins will give you a complimentary skin-care sample when you bring in empty products to be recycled. M.A.C. also gives a free lipstick when you return six M.A.C. containers to a M.A.C. counter.
Extend your lipstick’s life. There is about a quarter-inch more in the tube you can’t see. Use a brush to scoop out an additional 3 weeks’ worth of color.
Ask for samples at the makeup counter. These are free and it’s a great way to try new products and they are the perfect size for your travel kit.
Take it down a notch. Switch from high-priced brands (from department stores) to mid-tier brands found in mass market stores. They are usually made by the same manufacturers anyway and will cost you significantly less money. Consider store brands also.
Dry that razor. Don’t leave your razor in the shower after using it because the blades will rust from the moist, wet environment. When the blades rust, they become dull. If you dry the razor after use, it will extend the life of the razor.
Touch it up. Extend your hair color by touching up your roots. Try tinting your re-growth at home after 6-8 weeks of a salon coloring.
Go layered. Get a layered haircut – it’s by far the lowest maintenance style. Bobs that have blunt lines need the most upkeep.
Trims are free! Ask for free trim of your bangs in between visits. Most salons offer this service –and it’s free!
Save that color. Don’t wash after coloring! Wait 24-48 hours to wash your hair after you’ve had it highlighted or colored. The natural oils will help your new hue last longer.

I have been using Mindfield Online for almost a year and I really enjoy them, I have been paid by them several times!! They are a legitimate paid survey site. Recently they started giving you the option to cash out with PayPal which I love!! They will send you emails when new surveys are available and they’ve got a pretty good pay out rate per survey too! You can also get surveys occasionally that lead to paid product trials, where you get paid to review products! Mindfield Online has a $5 minimum payout, which means you can request payment when you are at just $5 in earnings!

Walgreen’s has 3 different ways to help you save money each week, In Ad coupons, Register Rewards and a Monthly coupon book. They also accept all manufacturers coupons including printable coupons.
The monthly coupon booklet you will find at the front of the store near the weekly ads. These are store coupons and can be used along with sale items and manufacturers coupons to get even better savings.
You will find the In Ad coupons in each weekly ad. You must present these to the cashier to receive the sale price. You can also use manufacturers coupons with these in ad coupons. If you buy more than one of the sale item, you only have to give the cashier one coupon and it will adjust the price for each one in the transaction. That being said, these In Ad coupons will have a limit on them. Some stores will stick to the limit, some won’t. If you go over the limit the register will automatically give you the sale price for each item. It doesn’t follow the limit.
Walgreen’s has a rebate type program called Register Reward’s or you may see the abbreviation RR. Basically how it works is you make a qualifying purchase and then a Register Reward will print out that is good on your next purchase.
You can use coupons on purchases that produce Register Rewards and if you do then sometimes you will come out making money on a product. For example:
Advil PM, On Sale $2.99
Get $2.99 Register Reward
Use $1.00 coupon
You Pay: $1.99 but you get $2.99 in RR’s so really you made $1.00 on the purchase.
That is completely legal and does happen quite often.
There is one thing about Register Rewards that can be tricky. The system recognizes them as a manufacturers coupon. You can only use 1 manufacturers coupon and 1 store coupon per item. You need to make sure you have enough items to off set the number of manufacturers coupons when you use your Register Reward.
Karen is a stay at home mom of 2 girls and a wife to a wonderful Engineer that totally supports her blogging habit. She blogs at KouponKaren.com about saving money on everyday products and shares her coupon & freebie finds everyday.
