First Try at Couponing | CVS Haul from Sunday Coupons 2/26 | 13 Items for $14

I've always liked couponing and I've dabbled in it here and there but Saturday I decided I wanted to go shopping and stock up on a few items so Saturday night I went on Google and searched for an early view of the Sunday paper to see if there were any good coupons, there were so Sunday I purchased a paper.

That evening I cut out all the coupons and began researching who had the best deals. I'm in a few couponing groups on facebook, I checked The Krazy Coupon Lady Blog, and I looked at the weekly add on CVS.com. I figured out I'd go to CVS since they stack coupons and they offer extra care bucks on some purchases. I decided on what to get and I made a list, I had to do 3 transactions but they were small so I was okay with that as long as CVS wasn't busy.

Before going in I checked the CVS app and saw I had $5 extra care bucks and a coupon for laundry detergent, which I was going to purchase so I sent it over. I got 3 envelopes and listed out what I was buying per transaction and then stuck the coupons for each purchase inside. I added an extra envelope with a back up plan of a smaller order if some coupons didn't print from the CVS catalina/redbox. I wanted to be as organized as possible so that it was easier for me and the cashier.

When I first went into CVS I noticed it wasn't busy, I was literally the only customer so that helped with my anxiety. I printed my coupons from the CVS machine and got all the coupons I wanted. So I put the extra envelope away. I looked around the store and got everything I wanted, I asked the cashier if it was okay to do 3 transactions and she said it was okay (I know I should have asked sooner). So here's the transactions I did.

Transaction #1 ;

4 bottles of Pantene Shampoo/Conditioner | Sale Price 3/$12

2 Bottles of Pantene Styler | Sale Price 2/$10

1 Bottle of Dawn Dish Soap| Sale Price 99 cents

1 Xtra Laundry Detergent | Sale Price $1.99

Coupons Used ;

$5 off 3 bottles of Pantene Products (mfc from 2/26 P&G)

$1 off one bottle of Pantene Products (mfc from 2/26 P&G)

$1.50 off two bottles of Pantene Styler (mfc from 2/26 P&G)

$2 off 3 Hair Products (CVS Coupon)

25 cents off Dawn Dish Soap (mfc 2/26 P&G)

$1.50 off Laundry (CVS Coupon)

$1 off Xtra (printed from coupons.com)

$5 extra care bucks

Total OOP (Out Of Pocket) ; $13.83

and I received $7 in extra care bucks back for spending $25 (before coupons) on certain items.

Transaction #2

1 Pack of Reese Cups | Sale Price 99 cents

1 Xtra Laundry Detergent | Sale Price $1.99

1 Puffs Tissues | Sale Price 99 cent

1 Crest Pro Health Mouthwash | Sale Price $4.99  

Coupons Used ;

$1 off Xtra Detergent (printed from coupons.com)

25 cents off Puffs (mfc from 2/26 P&G)

25 cents off Puffs (printed from coupons.com)

$1 off Crest Mouthwash (mfc from 2/26 P&G)

I used the $7 extra care bucks from Transaction #1

Total OOP ; 0.56 cents

and I received $2 in extra care bucks for buying the mouth wash

Transaction #3 ;

Xtra Laundry Detergent | Sale Price $1.99

Coupons Used ;

$2 Extra Care Bucks

Total OOP ; 0.14 cents

Haul Photo ; <3 td="">

For Transaction #2 I could have done better, I let extra care bucks go away because I didn't know what to get but next time I will have a filler in my head but in the end I am still happy with my purchases.

Original Price ; $58.91
My OOP ; $14.53
I Saved ; $44.38

So if you're thinking about giving couponing a try, I say go for it. Just do your research and start small. I got 13 items and only spent $14.53 plus the price per item was pretty good for stockpile price in my opinion. If you got the 2/26 Sunday paper and you still have your coupons you can try this deal, just keep in mind if you don't have extra bucks to start with or the CVS coupons your OOP will be higher than mine around $5-$7 which isn't too bad for these products. Hopefully next week I can find more great deals, if so I'll blog about it.

Swagbucks | Review + How to Get Free Giftcards / Earn More Swagbucks

I've used Swagbucks off and on for a few years, but I quit awhile back because I didn't have the time to deal with. I decided to start up again to earn giftcards to purchase items for my house and gifts. I love that its free money, all you have to do is do some offers, play some games, or answer some surveys. I've gotten plenty of giftcards in the past and I recently just ordered a $25 ebay card, I'm just waiting for them to email me my code. I recommend Swagbucks to anyone that has free time on their hands and doesn't care to complete a few tasks to earn some free cash.

Let's talk about what kind of gift cards you can get. They have Paypal, Ebay, Amazon, Xbox, Walmart, Target, and more. The amounts differ from $3-$500. I normally go for the $25 ones, your first one every month is only 2,200 points instead of the usual 2,500.

Now let's move on to the offers there is discover, games, videos, surveys, polls, and more. I'm going to post a daily list of things I like to do to get my points up fast. I do more on days I have more time but I try to at least do these tasks daily.

1. Daily Poll ; the daily poll is only worth 1 sbs but it's literally one question.

2. Games ;  I always play 20 (free) games to get 10 sbs, you don't have to get a high score. You get 2 sbs for every other game but can only get a maximum of 10 per day. I always play "Swag Jump" or "Swag Run". S

3. nGage ; on the home page you will see an offer that says nGage, you'll get 3 sbs for completing this offer. Personally I do this a few times per day, normally while I'm browsing online, I'll click this offer and randomly switch between screens to click on the " Next Page" button on the nGage screen. You can earn quite a few swagbucks with this offer.

4. Watch ; watching videos is also a great way to earn swagbucks, if you're going to be home you can always click on a playlist and then do things that need to be done while you wait for the playlist to end. I also have the watch tab up while I'm playing online, every so often I go check to see if the video has been "watched" long enough then I'll click on the next video to speed up the process.

5. Search ; I don't normally use this option but I try to search at least twice a day, I just search random things, sometimes you'll get swagbucks.

6. Daily Goal ; another thing I like to do is get the daily swagbucks goal, you get extra swagbucks from getting it plus at the end of the month you'll get more free swagbucks, I wasn't active a lot this month but I still earned 72 extra swagbucks.

If you're wanting to join swagbucks, feel free to join with my referrer link ; http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/BasicallyBella

sometimes they have special offers where you'll earn extra swagbucks through referral links.

Also if anyone is interested I can post videos on how to earn swagbucks daily. Kind of like a swagbucks vlog.

DIY | Autumn Moodboard Tutorial + Groovebook Review & Free Photo Book!

Autumn is right around the corner and I'm pretty excited.

I've already brought out all my sweaters and started making adorable autumn themed décor items.

Here is one of my favorite creations so far ;

a autumn themed moodboard

This is great to stay inspired and I just love seeing the photographs hanging above my desk

                     

 Supplies ;

Corkboard

Paint

Cup of Water

Paint Brush

& Photos ( from groovebook, your printer, or magazines)

Don't forget you can add random things to spice your board up, after filming this I added some images from magazines, fabric, twine, and other little items I found around.

Get a free groovebook by using promo code JENKINS7582 

* Groovebook review ; this was actually my first groovebook I ordered and I am pretty satisfied with the quality. I ordered this with the intentions of using the photos for a DIY project so most of the photos I uploaded were from pinterest and google but I did send in some personal photos taken from my phone, there is a difference in quality but this is because of my phone, not Groovebook. With that being said the photos from my phone were still good quality as seen in the photo below. I will continue to use Groovebook because the price is great and I love the idea of getting a book of photos every month for just $3. It's great for personal photos, photos for moodboards/inspiration, and photos for DIY projects.

What is Groovebook? Groovebook is an app you download to your phone for free, their books are $3 per month (but you can get your first one free with promo code JENKINS7582) and they send you a book with 100 photos. The photos can be ripped out or kept in the book, that's up to you because they come with easy to rip edges. If you can't find 100 photos to print, fear not because they will actually just send you duplicates.

Back to School Shopping on a Budget + Free Clothes

It's almost that time of year again, back to school. It's time to start shopping for school clothes and supplies and for some people that's hard to do when you're on a budget. So here are a few tips that might help you when going back to school shopping.

Supplies ;

1. Know what you need ; when I was young and it was time to go back to school my mom would buy the same supplies for me and my siblings. She would stock up on pencils and notebooks but not much else, as I got older she realized most of the items she bought, we didn't really need and then in the long run she would have to spend more money on items she didn't think we would need. She got better at it with the years but around middle school she decided to stop buying so many supplies before school. She got my brother a binder, his 6th grade year, turns out he wasn't allowed to carry it at the school he went to. So after that she would only get us each a note book and some pencils, then the first day of school we would bring home lists of things we really needed.

2. Look for the best deals ; when you're out and about keep an eye on the prices of back to school items, you'll find a lot of stores have tons of inexpensive items. You can even check online for the best deals, whenever I'm about to leave to go to Wal*Mart or Krogers, I always check The Crazy Coupon Lady page. There are other blogs out there you can check out as well to see what stores are having the best deals.

3. Check your community ; If you're really on a budget and can't afford school supplies, look for programs in your city. All cities might not have this but it's worth a shot to check. I know in my city we have churches and community centers that giveaway backpacks full of supplies.

Clothes ;

1. Know your schools dresscode ; always check out the dress code before buying clothes, some schools are stricted than others. My middle school didn't allow jeans with holes in them, most schools don't allow crop tops but some do. You don't want to end up buying tons of clothes your kids can't wear, For girls make sure you know the length of their skirts/dresses/shorts because most schools are strict with how short your clothes can be.

2. Know your kids style ; I remember when my mom would go shopping for me, without me and she always got the ugliest clothes, half the time they would sit in my closet and never get worn because I didn't like them or they didn't fit me. Sometimes it's a hassle to take your children shopping but its always best to know they like the clothes and that they fit them.When you're on a budget you can't afford to buy something they aren't going to wear.

3. Check online ; a lot of online sites have great deals, so be sure to look at items online. Also check online thrift stores, a lot of people send in brand new items and the shops discount the price a lot. You can check eBay, Poshmark, Schoola, Thredup, and Mercari for brand new clothes or even preowned clothes in great condition (if you're okay with that).

When searching on eBay try using the words " NEW" or "NWT" to find new items.

When looking on Poshmark, Mercari, Thredup, or Schoola you can just change the filters to brand new items.

FREE CLOTHES ;

1. Schoola, Get $20 free when you join through this link ; https://www.schoola.com/stitch?ref=cp-3X1oqnW1F but that's not all, when you create a collection you'll get another $10, then go check your email for a 50% off coupon code that's $60 worth of free clothes! And most of the time shipping is free!

2. Mercari ; mercari is an app so you'll have to download it, for free. Use invite code YYSGQZ for a $2 credit, the best part about Mercari is it's like ebay so it's individual sellers and sometimes they'll take lower than the asking price so don't forget to make offers!

3. Poshmark ; Poshmark is like mercari, so feel free to make offers on items, download the app and use referral code BMSYH for a $5 credit.

4. Thredup ; sign up with this link for a $10 credit, sadly with this one you'll have to pay shipping which is around $6 but it's totally worth it ; http://www.thredup.com/r/92FNPC

Thrift / Schoola / Thredup Haul ; Rare Brandy Melville, Free People, Hollister, Steve Madden, and More!

It's time for another haul, I don't always post hauls because I'm either too busy or I don't purchase enough items to make a post, or I forget. But I've made a few good purchases recently so I figured a haul is due! 

I'll start with my order from Thredup

- Hollister Poncho/Cardigan in a beautiful tribal print.
- Steve Madden black combat boots (which I have been dying to get ever since I got my brown ones, which I also got from Thredup!)

- Hollister Floral dress which will look amazing with some tights, a cardigan, and boots.

- Rare Brandy Melville jada dress in a gorgeous cream/beige floral print.

- Rare Brandy Melville purple bohemian printed jada dress.

- Brandy Melville finn cardigan, the shorter sleeve version.

- Brandy Melville pink and white sammie shirt.

The best part was I won this cardigan/poncho on Thredup's Facebook! Every Tuesday they have a #TuesdayFinds game where you comment with the link of an item that is below $25 and why you love it and they choose a winner! 

So in the end my Thredup order came out to... $24! That's between 2 separate orders, meaning separate shipping as well! I am so excited to get all my lovely items! I got these with credits that I earned by referring people, that's how the price was so low! Now if you're interested in joining Thredup, here is a link to give you a free $20 credit! http://www.thredup.com/r/EKO8JR You can also look around on Retailmenot.com for coupon codes to save even more! Thredup has great prices! 

Now on to my Schoola orders, I've placed a few because Schoola items sell fast and only stay in your cart for 10 minutes but they normally have Free Shipping, so it wasn't a problem for me, although I do wish they would ship the items together. 

From Schoola I got ; 

- Ugg House Slippers 

- Unbranded Jeans

- We the Free by Free People Coat (This is sherpa lined and so warm!)

- 7 of All Mankind Jeans

- Rare Brandy Melville Sweater

- Madewell Jeans 

All the items I got from Schoola was FREE! I got them from referral credits and by using the coupon codes they offer, they offer lots of coupon codes though out the week. If you want to Join Schoola, use this link for a free $20 credit, https://www.schoola.com/stitch?ref=cp-3X1oqmB64 then make a collection for another $10 credit! After that search for any promo codes to get a better discount! If you're reading this today ( Wednesday, January 13) try the code HERO for 50% off, that's $60 worth of free clothes! 

I also got this adorable Cooperative from Urban Outfitters cardigan, I fell in love with the adorable fox print and had to have it! No special sales on this, but it was too adorable to pass up! 

Another item I got was some Nike slides to wear around the house. 

I n f l u e n s t e r | Jingle Voxbox

This holiday season, I got the amazing gift of an Influenster Voxbox, I was so excited to be included in this adorable Voxbox.

Here's what's inside; 

[one ] Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream

[ two ] 3 Packs of Biscoff Cookies

[ three ] Ore-Ida Tater Tots Coupon for FREE Tator Tots

[ four ] Rapunzel Itty Bitty from Hallmark

[ five ] NYC City Proof 24 Hour Waterproof Eyeliner in Black

[ six ] Kiss True Volume Lashes

[ seven ] Kiss Strip Lash Adhesive with Aloe 

[ eight ] Pure Ice Nail Polish in "Keep Walking" a gorgeous purple glitter

Here is my first impression for each item. 

[ one ] Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream

I was/am extremely excited for this because I recently fell in love with Cetaphil lotion. I have really dry skin and so far Cetaphil has been my holy grail, I immediately opened the moisturizing cream and put some one the dry spots on my face and noticed a difference immediately. I've used it every day since. I personally love the Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream and plan to buy a full sized jar soon. 

#Cheerphil 

[ two ] 3 Packs of Biscoff Cookies

I've never had the Biscoff brand of cookies but I took a scroll through Pinterest and saw some delicious looking inspiration. I recently ordered a Keurig Coffee Machine so I'm trying to hold off to try them with a nice cup of coffee but they look so delicious I don't know if I can wait that long. 

#MyBiscoffBreak

[ three ] Ore-Ida Tator Tots

Well I love tator tots and I love Ore-Ida so I know I'll love this but I do have to admit, I've always ate tator tots by baking them and adding ketchup, one task for these is to make a recipe so naturally I went on Pinterest and many ideas, things I would have never thought of, so I'll definitely be trying out a few of those and making some of my own.

#OreidaTotchos

[ four ] Rapunzel Itty Bitty from Hallmark

These Itty Bittys are sooo adorable, sadly my Rapunzel has a lopsided head :/ I'm not sure if that's how she's made or if mine just got smashed. Before I got this voxbox I had never heard of Itty Bittys so I googled them and saw all the adorable collections, I know I'll have to get Olaf, Yoda, Bambi, and many more! Plus they are so cheap ($6.95) and make great gifts for the little ones in your life. My niece loves the Rapunzel one and soon she will be hers. 

#IttyBittys

[ five ] NYC City Proof  24 Hour Waterproof Eyeliner 

I've been looking for a nice brown eyeliner for awhile now, so I'm hoping this works. I love that I got brown because brown really makes my eyes pop. I'm also intrigued with the 24 hour, waterproof. 

#CityProofNYC

[ six - seven ] Kiss True Volume Lashes & Strip Lash Adhesive with Aloe 

I think falsies are cute, but I've never really gotten the hang of putting them on but this glue seems to be much better than ones I've used in the past so hopefully everything goes well. I like that the glue has aloe and I am loving the look of these lashes, I can't wait to get all dolled up one day and give these babies a try. 

#KISSLashes

[ eight ] Pure Ice Nail Polish

I got "Keep Walking" which at first glance I thought was a solid glittery purple but after testing it, I realized its a clear with glitter and sparkles and it looks great over a lighter shade of purple. Sadly I don't wear much purple but I just had to give it a try on New Years Eve to add some sparkle to my New Years and I love how it looks layered up. 

#PureIce 

Now I'll be posting more on my blog about these items as I test them out, so keep an eye out for more reviews plus some recipes. 

DISCLAIMER ; Influnster sent me this box of items for free in return for my own honest opinion.

How to Raise Your Influenster Score and Get More Voxboxes Tips and Tricks

  If you are reading this post you probably already have an Influenster account, if you do not, you can join here; www.influenster.com/r/490414

I am going to go over the basics of how to raise your score on Influenster. You'll want to raise it so you can qualify for more voxboxes. If you don't know what Influenster is you can learn more here; Blog About Influenster 

1. Link Your Social Media Accounts to Influenster; Linking your accounts will help Influenster see your impact on social media accounts. I would recommend you add as many social media networks as you have. I personally think Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are the main ones, since Influenster normally give you tasks for voxboxes that have to do with these main networks. It may take a day or two for your score to go up after you link your account so be patient if it doesn't automatically go up. 

2. Answer All Your Snaps; These are mostly them just asking you to link your social media accounts as well, if you don't have the network they are asking for just click skip. 

3. Unlock Badges; You'll want to unlock as many Expert and Lifestyle Badges as possible. Fill out any surveys and review items in each category to be eligible for voxboxes that have to do with each badge. The more you do, the more likely you are to be included in a voxbox.

4. Regularly Check for Campaigns; Sometimes you will be invited to do Virtual Voxboxes, you won't receive anything at first but you may later on. For example, in the next photo you'll notice the eBay Campaigns, these are virtual. I've completed all three available and so far I have received two codes by email for $10 eBay gift cards and I am currently waiting on a $25 one via email

5. Review Items You Already Own; When you review items you get points towards badges which make you more likely to be picked for boxes. When I'm bored I'll go around my room with a small basket and throw some items in it, hair products, make up, etc and I will look them up on Influenster and leave reviews. I will also purchase items and review them after a week or so of having them. You get 5 points towards badges when you leave reviews. For example I just left a review for a NYX Hd Studio Foundation  and I got 5 points for the Beauty Badge. 

. 

6. Ask/Answer Questions; After you've left a review for something, check out the questions on the products page and if you can, answer some. Also if you're wanting to know something about a product before purchasing it, go on the products page and ask it. Here is a photo where I got 5 more points towards my Beauty Badge for answering someones question. 

7. Complete Tasks for Boxes You've Already Received; If you have received a voxbox make sure you complete the tasks, you want to do all the Brand Tasks, each task will give X amount of points towards your main score. 

You can also do the other tasks, these points won't be worth as much points, but every point counts. 

Also just be patient and remember you have to put in work to get items. If you have a popular blog or youtube, you will probably be qualified for many voxboxes without too much work but for other people, myself included, you get what you put in. 

Another tip; Add Influenster to your VIP/favorites in your email so that any emails from them will automatically pop up. I did this awhile back so that when I get surveys for boxes, I am automatically notified and I can complete them asap. Also that way I don't forget to check my email and miss out. 

If you have any questions; feel free to leave them in the comments and I will answer them.

Thanks <3

Influenster; My First VoxBox FREE ITEMS #JollyVoxBox

What is influenster?

"Influenster is a free-to-join community of trendsetters, social media masterminds, and educated consumers who live to give opinions of products and experiences.

The Influenster site is a hub where members meet to learn about new products from our favorite brands as well as review the products they already use in their day-to-day lives!

Influenster invites its most active members to participate in exclusive VoxBox programs where members receive complimentary products to test and review. In exchange, we ask our members to do what they already love to do: share their opinions with their friends & followers on social media!

But that's not all. We have a lot going on including digital challenges, twitter parties, & contests!"

 Which basically means that they send you free products  try and to review & share with you friends. I honestly thought it was a cool thing to do when I was bored, you start off by unlocking expert badges and then unlocking other badges, you also write reviews on items you've purchased and liked, its really fun and great for when you're bored, I personally didn't expect to get a voxbox  so soon because I had heard that it is hard to get  on because they have limited supplies and so many users but I do believe its based on how active you are on the site, the more active you are, the better your chance of getting one.
 Now I will tell you about the Vox Box I got which is called the #JollyVoxBox. It is their holiday Vox Box and inside it was the following;

I was super excited to get this and to start trying the products inside! So now I will tell  you about the products I received, complimentary of influenster.com. The first item was the Rimmel London Show Off Lip Lacquer I got it in the shade Aurora which is a pretty shade of red, at first glance I thought that I wouldn't like it, I've always admired girls that could pull of the red lips look but I personally was not one of them but I did try the lip lacquer on and I actually liked the outcome, Rimmel did a great  job with this product, it went on smooth and it wasn't sticky. I love the way it looked on me and now I feel confident enough to wear red lipstick out. Plus the texture and wand makes it super easy to apply an even coat. I will include a photo of me wearing this product here

You can purchase this lip lacquer at any local CVS, Walgreens, Wal*Mart, K-Mart, etc. I can't remember the price but it was under $7 so it is also inexpensive which is a plus.

 

The next item was the NYC, New York City Color HD Color Trio Eye Shadow, I absolutely loved the colors I got, Oh Soho Sweet, it was neutral shades of brown/creamy pink. I love these shades for an everyday look and I like that they have a sparkle to them. Also they are super affordable, they're only $2.99! Perfect for ladies on a budget! You can get them at your local CVS, Walgreens, Wal*Mart, K-Mart, & Rite-Aid.

 

Next on the list is the Ducklings Mini Rolls, I got the plaint splatter one, which is super cute. I looked on their facebook page and noticed that they have a lot of other cute designs, my favorite is  the blue/purple leopard print, which I will be purchasing for future crafts. I love that they have a variety of designs and you can use them for lots of different things, I used mine to make a headband (I will add a picture below) and to tape packages to ship out. This duct tape really comes in handy, I saw other girls using  it for duct tape wallets, bracelets, etc. I'm not sure the cost of this but you can purchase it at Wal*Mart and I noticed they have it at a nearby Family Dollar Store.

 

I also got a Pass the Puffs to Go Pack of Tissues which definitely came in handy since I was sick when I received my #JollyVoxBox. I carried these around with me in my bag when I went out on errands and I carried them around the house as I done house cleaning. They were really convenient to have in the bed with me instead of having a large tissue box beside me.

 

Finally the last thing I got was some Skinny Cow Candy, which I personally wasn't too into because I got peanut butter flavored candy, which I don't like. I did hand them out to my family to see how well they liked them and everyone loved them. My mother took most of them to carry to work with her because she always gets a sweet tooth at work and she says they are perfect, a nice flavor and not as many calories.
