Old Navy $0.75 dress?

"Steal of a Deal"
This is a quote i commonly say while shopping for two reasons,

1. I am always buying things from the clearance rack
 and 
2. Because I usually feel like I am stealing by their low prices

I typically get some dirty looks, because people think because I say this I am going to steal.
I have never and will never steal. It is disgusting, there is no reason to ever steal. period.

Below you will find the story, the pictures of the items I bought and my electronic receipt that Old Navy sent me after I took advantage of their sale.

Here are the details:
My boyfriend is awesome, he gave me his $30 old navy bucks because "you will actually use it"
God love him
I put it in my wallet so after any purchase I would remember to see it, I waited until the date finally came...

I went into Old Navy and saw signs saying that their clearance was an extra 30% off,  this excited me as I knew that was exactly where I was heading.

I instantly saw this little beauty, originally priced at $44.94

I asked a Old Navy sales girl if she could tell me how much this was dress was, because it didn't have a tag, after much confusion she said, how about I say it is $13.99 so it will be around 9 dollars. I said sold and ran to the dressing room to try it on, loved it!

Then I saw a body clutch that was priced at $9.99, it was going to be around 6 dollars,
The reason I say around is because of this next part of the story..

I got in line ready to buy these two items and then looked at the old navy bucks, I needed to spend up to $20 to get at least $10 off.

So I got out of line, I went back to check on a sweater I saw that was on clearance but in different place in the store, I asked a manager if it was the same  30% off clearance for this sweater he said "yes and if anyone at the front asked tell them the bald manager said it is" with a smile.
 It was stickered at clearance for $13.99, with an additional 30% (around 9 dollars)
originally priced at $34.94!


I smiled and walked back to line,
The cashier became very confused as I was telling her all of these new prices, so she called for a manager.

The bald manager came back, he then said these beautiful words

"Okay so this black dress was bought online and then returned here, so instead of calling Old Navy online and wasting 20 minutes of your time, how about I sell it to you for $1.47" 

My mouth dropped, I smiled said thank you repeatedly and I was very close to hugging him!
I then asked, can I still use my Old Navy Bucks?
He and She both said yes!!

Here is my receipt.
Yep. $0.75 for a $44.94, dress



These are the reasons to be nice to managers, wait for good sales, use your coupons and be frugal!

-- EYE love it

I was recently asked what I like to do for fun.
Here was my list
Dance
Watch Movies
Spend time with Family/Friends
and....

Find an amazing deal! Pathetic?
Oh what do you know ;)


So yesterday I stayed a little late after work and decided to go to one of my favorite college poor-girl finds. This store is in an area I affectionately call.... "The Barrio" it isn't that bad but I like to name everything that meets my eye. So I went and found a great little love.

Brand/Name: Eyeshadow Long Dress, Strapless Straight Ruffled Eyelet Empire A-Line Maxi

Originally Priced: $48.00
I paid:$9.99!!
My Dress is black, but I couldn't for the life of it find the black version so here is a purple one.



There is also a makeup section at this place: It has all sorts of different makeup for ONE dollar. Yes, it is a cash only place which is a little odd but everything is sealed and safe so I got a few trinkets


Kleancolor Eyeshadow: American Eyedol Wet/Dry Baked Shadow, in Bronze. $1.00

I love a good bronze/gold color, it is the perfect summer look! You could also use a little bit on your shoulders to enhance your summer glow

L'OREAL Paris, HIP (High Intensity Pigments) Cream Shadow/Paint - 809 Lofty. $1.00

I love this product, if you are MAC kind of gal/guy this would be like a painterly paint pot. It doesn't crease, it added a great amount of color and this would be a great product to travel with you, if you dont have a lot of time you could apply it to your lids with some mascara for a really easy look under 1 minute!

L'OREAL Paris, HIP Pure Pigment Shadow Stick, 834 Alluring $0.50
L'OREAL Paris, HIP Pure Pigment Shadow Stick, 858 Exquisite $0.50

These little babies are new and I am so excited to use them!
 I love using Pigments!   "The most basic definition of a pigment describes it as a type of material which affects the color of light reflection and absorption."


L'OREALParis, HIP Jelly Balm, 720 Luscious
I found one of these at a Dollar store in the past and fell in love! Great color, very light and not goopy. Perfect for summer!

 
I also made a little trip to Forever 21 in Anaheim. I like to call this place Heaven. There is one amazing quality for plus size women at this store. There is an entire section for YOU. It is beautiful, organized and rarely do you see a size 2 in your section. But when you do they typically look at a size and say something rude like "Ugh who wears this" .... nice huh? But then I laugh and try to hold myself back from pointing at the 5 other areas in the store devoted to them.
;)

So I made a trip, headed to their amazing clearance racks and found these  this beauties y.

Price: 11 dollars, Yellow tag deal

Well shucks I have two floral tops one for work and one everyday but I can't find their pictures. Once I find them I will update this post.

The other reason I love Forever 21 Anaheim is because ...wait for it...

It is two stories.

The top level is all sale/clearance.

Need I say more?


Until next time.
