update >> new sale items >> anthropologie.com

thought i'd give an update on the anthropologie items i wanted last week...

ag polka dot ankle stevie

i tried these guys on.  adorable?  yes.  expensive?  double yes.  going to just have to take my chances for these to go on sale because i cannot justify nearly $200 on jean i may not like next year.

ribbon grass dress

this dress fit well, and was pretty cute, but something about the bloody red that i couldn't do.  no wonder it went on sale so quickly after arrival.

new sale items >> anthropologie.com

anthropologie is probably my favorite store, but they aren't heavily involved in affiliate marketing.  i can never find coupons or cash back.  however, i have nailed down their sale schedule. 

tip of the post:  they add sale items ever tuesday.

and today they've added a dress i've had my eye on for a while.

the jeans are not on sale, but i might need to get them before they sell out.  they are me, right?

no savings yet, i need to go into the store because no free shipping, and i cannot commit without trying these guys on.

in-store pick up >> nordstrom.com (again)

probably my favorite way to shop.  in-store pick up again!  i can take my time, find what i really want online, get my eBates cash back, and pick up my product same day.

this time i really needed new skinny jeans.  i only have one pair that fits into boots, and they are getting pretty old, so...  i've been into Nordstrom a few times, and there were just so many jeans that i couldn't narrow down even what i wanted to try on.  so, thank you Nordstrom.com for allowing me to look at all the details of the jeans (color, size, lengeth, etc.) online.  so, i found 3 pairs that will potentially work for me.

Citizens of Humanity 'Cropped Thompson' Skinny Stretch Jeans (faith wash)

Paige Denim 'Skyline 12' Skinny Leg Stretch Jeans

Hudson Jeans 'Nico' Mid Rise Super Skinny Jeans (chelsea wash)

so then, naturally, i went through ebates to get my 3.5% cash back (lower than the previous 5%, they must have changed strategy after holiday).

so, i get to shop online they way i want, get my cash back on the order, and get the items same day.  now, i'll just go into the store, try them on and return the ones i don't want.  yay!

added value:  in-store pickup & cash back

in-store pick up >> nordstrom.com

i love nordstrom. they have the best stuff. they have an amazing return policy. they allow in-store pick up! 

this way i can shop online for what i want and then order it online and have it waiting for me when i pick it up in the store. it is just as good as the instant satisfaction you get from shopping at the mall, AND i get my 5% ebates cash back because i purchased online.

most recently i got the following:

o by oscar de la renta woven wrap for me

halogen altitude scarf for the bf's mom for xmas

it's so easy. you just go to ebates, click on the nordstrom link, buy your products online, then go and pick them up at customer service.

total savings: ebates cashback 
added value: easy, in-store pick up!
