Shop Smarter at Old Navy with Slickdeals

December 8, 2020 By Debra Pearlstein

My heart and spirit are in giving mode this holiday season, however, it’s been a rough year and the funds I’d budgeted to go towards gifts got re-routed. Some of the major gifts will have to wait for more prosperous times, however, I’ll still be gifting my friends and loved ones. ‘Tis the season!

This is one of the major reasons I love Old Navy! I have found incredible deals and a wide variety of clothing and accessories at truly affordable prices. I love their deals year round, but, they are incredibly helpful now! Plus, I get to buy items that I know those I gift will love.

Because we just had a Nor’Easter and it’s still snowy, I’m dreaming of hygge gifts for my cozy-loving friends and family. I’m loving these Old Navy finds including these warm slipper socks, this clever tee, these adorable Patterned Waffle-Knit One-Piece Pajamas and this Cozy Bouclé Faux-Fur Pom-Pom Beanie Hat.

It’s always so fun when I can find special deals, sales, coupons, promo codes and discounts. My favorite site for this is Slickdeals. You can set up deal alerts to get notified and they also have an app so you can be on top of all the sales and savings. There is even a Slickdeals browser extension that will auto apply coupons for you. All these tools will help you save money every day and stretch your dollar.

I check into Slickdeals daily, especially this time of year! They have incredible front page deals as well as savings at all my favorite stores and I’ve saved so much. I’m loving their Old Navy Coupons and I’m using them right now.

Here are some extra tips that I find helpful:

Rather than buying one item here or there, consolidate your purchases to ensure free shipping and take advantage of special offers.

Use a credit card with rewards so that you can get cash back.

Make sure you’re shopping legit websites.

Check Slickdeals for the best coupons, promo codes and deals before you shop.

I have to admit that I love browsing for gifts online. It’s like window shopping that you can do from your couch in your pjs! With these tips, hopefully you can get something special for yourself as well. It’s been a rough year!

December 7, 2020 By Debra Pearlstein 10 Comments

This post is sponsored by Sivan Social. All comments and opinions are my own.

It’s snowing outside my window, and, as I enjoy my mug of hot peppermint cocoa, I’m dreaming of the perfect holiday gifts for my friends and family and browsing online at Sam’s Club. As part of their December Savings week, Sam’s Club has so many amazing deals including great buys on holiday gifts!

So that you can plan too, here is a preview. There are so many gift ideas including clothing, tech, toys and telescopes. There’s really something for everyone on your list. And, for yourself!

I’m definitely thinking of purchasing this Apple Watch for my sister since she loves mine for its fitness tracking and because it also monitors your heart rate. The Apple Watch has so many cool features. The Sleep app lets you set a bedtime routine to track your sleep and you can get calls, messages, and music right on your wrist. You can save $30!

Apple Watch SE 44mm GPS

We’ve also been thinking of purchasing a large-screen Smart TV since we’ve been having more movie nights and binging more series like The Queen’s Gambit and Ozark.

This Vizio 70″ Class V-Series 4K HDR Smart TV – V705-H is on sale for $130 off and would be perfect for the living room.

VIZIO 70″ Class V-Series 4K HDR Smart TV – V705-H

I love my Sam’s Club membership, and it’s saved me so much over the years, but, for those who don’t have one yet, here’s a special offer for you. Join now for $45 & receive a free Rotisserie Chicken, Take & Bake Pizza, and 8 count cupcakes, valued at $20.95. Yum! (This offer is good from 12/7/20-1/31/21).

Sam’s Club Scan & Go and Curbside Pickup options allow you to shop safely in these challenging times. You can learn more here about the steps they’re taking to help protect everyone – including masks, visual social distancing markers and sanitized carts as well as curbside pickup.

For contact-free shopping in your club, you’re encouraged to use the exclusive Scan & Go™ feature in the Sam’s Club app. Simply scan your items with your phone, pay in the app and skip the checkout line.

This year’s holidays may look a little different, but, it’s all about the spirit and the joy you bring and share. Be well and enjoy the season, friends!

 

 

Save on Prescriptions with ValpakRx!

February 5, 2020 By Debra Pearlstein 8 Comments

This post is sponsored by Savings.com.

Healthcare costs can be daunting. Earlier this year, I felt like I was jumping through hoops just trying to afford my prescription. I went back and forth between my insurance company and the doctor’s office and never succeeded in getting the medication covered. On top of that, the retail pharmacy price was shocking. While I was able to eventually pick up the script, we had to forego a lot that month.

There has to be a better way, right?

I’m happy to have found the free ValpakRx™ mobile app and prescription discount card. It took seconds to install and I was immediately able to find the lowest price on prescriptions at my local pharmacies. You can be sure that I’ll be traveling that extra short 15 minutes to get the best price which was considerably lower than what I had paid before.

Save on prescription costs with ValpakRx!

Not only can one have issues because insurance doesn’t cover the medication you need, often you can’t afford it due to a high deductible. This is where ValpakRx really helps. At least 80 percent of the time the ValpakRX nationwide discount card will save you money because the cost will be less than the pharmacy’s retail price.

ValpakRx has negotiated a discount rate with a national network of drugstores and retail outlets.

More than 35,000 stores have partnered with ValpakRx
The average savings is $61 per prescription.
Free for anyone to use.
No personal information collected.

The actual amount you will save varies depending on which pharmacy you use and which medication you buy. Use the prescription price lookup feature to get an idea of what your medicine will cost at different pharmacies in your area.

I’ve been telling friends and family about this and wanted to share this with all of you as I know that healthcare can often cause unexpected expenses and finding a way to offset these difficulties is a blessing.

I really like the mission statement of ValpakRx:

“We support our partners’ efforts to better the lives of Americans and to help make each community a better place to live. Our mission is to provide affordable prescription healthcare at the lowest cost possible. We believe the financial savings that cardholders achieve when they use our free Rx discount card will have a huge impact on their lives and give them access to practical, affordable healthcare solutions.”

I am a strong believer in fair healthcare for all and am passionate about wellness. Sign up today and find out how much lower you could be paying for your family’s prescriptions. Simply click on the image below:

Luvs Diapers are Now Available at Even Lower Prices #MoretoLuv

December 7, 2017 By Debra Pearlstein 20 Comments

This review was made possible by iConnect Influencer Management, Luvs. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine.

 

When the first child arrivluvspostes, of course you want the very best of everything – the finest nursery, the latest stroller, the best clothes, the best toys, the best activity mat.

You make homemade food in the special baby food processor and even the first birthday party is a big production.

 

When the first child arrives, things can get expensive really fast. Nothing wrong with that, but, things change.

 

 

luvspost4

When you’re a second time parent, you don’t trust something just because it costs more, you trust that it works. You relax and realize that a lot of parenting is intuitive and you aren’t going to screw things up!

 

 

 

luvsblog

Luvs is the official diaper of experienced parents and is now an even greater value with new lower prices!

And guess what #MoreToLuv(s) = more money in the bank for parents. So yeah, go ahead and get that massage or dress you really want.

Luvs, with NightLock Plus locks away wetness with quality leak protection at new lower prices so head out to your local retailers and check them out!

What’s not to Luv about that?

 

About The Luvs Mom:
She is confident. She trusts her instincts and doesn’t sway in the face of external pressures to be a perfect mom. She makes no apologies.
She’s the wing mom, savvy and unfiltered.
She has a great sense of humor and isn’t afraid to laugh at herself. She knows she’ll make mistakes and is now more apt to laugh than cry.
She’s always honest and authentic. She’s not ashamed to admit that sometimes it’s not always pretty, but she’s figured out what works for her and her baby – and she’s not afraid to admit it.
She exists in a no judgement zone. With time and experience, she’s figured out that there’s no such thing as perfect parenting. Loving her kids and getting by in a way that works for her is all that matters.
And remember…

9 times out of 10 kids get their awesomeness from their mother.

Best Ways to Find Kate Spade Promo Codes

October 24, 2017 By Debra Pearlstein 16 Comments

I’m a self-confessed Kate Spade fanatic. Yes, I get giddy when I browse online and see all the new goodies! I love the dresses, the boots, the sunglasses, the poppy and leopard prints, the pjs and sleepwear. I swoon over the purses and wallets. I drool over their journals.

katespadepurses

 

 

 

Lately I’ve been looking for a new purse and, shopping online, of course, I’m going to try to find the best coupons! It is possible to find good working Kate Spade promo codes, you just have to know where to start.

 

As many retailers do, Kate Spade offers a promo code when you sign up to receive their email newsletters. When you go to their homepage, you will see a pop-up to fill out.

katespade

 

Immediately, this popped up at the top of my screen, 15% OFF + FREE SHIPPING ACTIVATED (along with a code to enter).

But, what happens when I want to shop at Kate Spade again and have already used up my newsletter signup reward? That’s when I turn to coupon sites. Often you can find other shoppers willing to share their codes. You just have to find a site where the chances the codes work are pretty high.

In my pursuit of the best deal on my new favorite, this run wild leopard-print mini janine inspired by Josephine Baker’s pet cheetah Chiquita. minijaninekate

It’s has a crossbody strap, and just look at the adorable nose and whiskers. Too cute!

For some, it may seem logical to start with Google, which gives me a lot of different coupon sites.

google

However, as I have learned the hard way, all coupon sites are not the same. Some have coupons that don’t work, are used up or expired. So, where do I go from here? Since my favorite tool is now Dealspotr, I decided to compare it with a few other sites to see the results. Starting with RetailMeNot, I do a search for Kate Spade.

Capturermn
Not very exciting.

On to Slickdeals:

Capturesd
More interesting! But, out of date and expired! Frustrating.

Now, I’ll try Kate Spade at Dealspotr. I’ve had such good luck with them lately, that they are usually my first choice:

dealspotr1dealspotr2Already more interesting! And, right on the same page, even more ways to save at Kate Spade. Dealspotr is very user-friendly.

katespade3As you can see, Dealspotr has meters below the deal that will tell you whether it is active, expired or when it expires as well as the likelihood of the coupon code working.

Here’s a site-wide code for free shipping (always a great deal). When, I pull it up, I can see that a Dealspotr user has “validated” the deal, which means they’ve tested the code on the Kate Spade site to make sure it works. Dealspotr users do this for every deal on the site, creating a very accurate database of codes for each store.

I also love that Dealspotr tells me that Groupon has a sale of 75% off selected Kate Spade Products. I just click and I’m there. I love that I was able to find a Christmas present for my sister, a beautiful iPad case which is what she has been wanting. She also loves Kate Spade.Captureks

Dealspotr has so many single-use codes and all manner of promo codes available for Kate Spade, that you are bound to find a deal!

So, as you can see, you should never check out without using a promo code when shopping at Kate Spade or other stores! Don’t forget to bookmark Dealspotr, because with 5 million coupons and advanced code-finding tools, they are the site more pros use to find coupons.

Bonus – get 2,000 points if you sign up as a member. Members can subscribe to Kate Spade for deal updates as they arrive, and can earn points for sharing deals with others!

Extra Tip – Follow your favorite brands on Social Media. They will often alert you to sales, special discounts and coupon codes!

This is a sponsored post with Dealspotr but the opinions and love of Kate Spade are all mine.
