Trend for Cheap = Nail Art! UPDATE + Video

Everywhere I look I see nail art!

Coupons = $$$ in Your Pocket!!

So, as you probably already know, I seek out lots of free samples. A great thing about samples is, obviously,  that you can try products before you pay for them; but another great thing is they come with high value coupons (usually $2+ off)!! Well, today I went to Wal-mart and used coupons from my samples and from Coupons.com  and saved over $20!!! I know that some people think coupons are a huge time-suck, but in reality, when you use high value coupons, you don't have to use many to save a lot!!! Plus, when I use coupons I still comparison shop, so if I can get something cheaper that's a different brand without a coupon, I'll do that and save the coupon for a sale or something.   This site's  Coupons.com Coupon Gallery makes it really easy for you to just "clip" and print coupons you will actually use, right from my blog! Most of their coupons are around $1 off, so it's easy to save BIG! How much did Coupons.com save you? Let me know! &
