$10 off Juniors' Apparel at Sears

Sears is offering $10 off your purchase of junior apparel with no minimum purchase required. In most cases, this usually translates to $10 off $10 or more, but if you get a nice cashier, maybe they'll give you your item(s) free if your purchase is under $10.

To shop in store, here's your printable coupon. In the October issue of seventeen magazine, there's a tear-out copy of this coupon on the front page. This deal is also available online with offer code 17SEARSAPPAREL, but you would have to pay for shipping, which starts at $6.25.

Offer is good until November 14, 2009.

Note: Savings apply to juniors' apparel only. Not valid on Lands' End merchandise, Outlet Store purchases and catalog orders. One coupon per purchase, not valid on prior purchases. Discount is applied before sales tax and cannot be used with any other coupon or associate discount. Void where prohibited by law. Any other use constitutes fraud. Cash value 1/20 cent. In an event of a return, coupon savings may be deducted from your refund. Valid 9/15 through 11/14/09 in the USA only.

If shopping online, save more money by shopping through Ebates.com. Just sign up for Ebates through my link (and get a $5 bonus by doing so) and search for Sears. Sears is listed on Ebates with 2% cash back.

Remember, this coupon only works for clothing in the juniors' department. With this coupon, it's a great time to stock up on clothes for the kids, as well as to start your Christmas shopping early. Happy shopping!

Restaurant.com - 90% off!

In celebration of 09.09.09, Restaurant.com is having a 90% off sale for 99 hours only! For those of you that aren’t familiar with Restaurant.com, they sell discounted gift certificates to many local restaurants in your area. $25 gift certificates are usually sold for $10 or $15 (depending on the restaurant) and $10 gift certificates are usually sold for $4. With the 90% off code, $25 gift certificates comes down to $1 or $1.50 and $10 gift certificates come down to 40 cents!

Coupon code: NINETY. Code is valid through September 13, 2009.

Note: Gift certificates from Restaurant.com are more like a coupon, since there’s a minimum amount required for a meal. You’re limited to using only one certificate per group visit. They may not be combined with one another and there are restrictions. Restrictions can include dining during certain days or hours, minimum purchase, no alcohol, lunch or dinner only and possibly more. Most restaurants will also automatically add 18% gratuity to your pre-discounted bill.

If you like dining out with a group of people and you split the bill, this would come in handy for you! Your friends won’t know how much you paid for this. Assuming you’re with a group of people, you’ll very likely meet the minimum purchase required and all you have to do is use your certificate and pay the differences, tax and tip. For example, I purchased one of the $25 (normally sold for $10) certificates to Horizon Restaurant and Lounge at 80% off, which only cost me $2. The minimum purchase was $35, but since I went to eat with a group of people, the amount was way over that. The total for my order was only $22, and with the $3 I had leftover, that was enough to cover tax. With the 18% gratuity added, I only had to pay $6 more. While my friends were spending way more for their meals, mine only cost me $8. Hot deal, huh? Go out with your friends and do what I did! Hahaha.

three blogs

The three blogs I chose to write about are Pursebuzz.com, NessasaryMakeup and Bllew Photography. I chose these three blogs because I have a big interest in makeup and photography.

The first blog I chose is Pursebuzz.com. What really interests me about this blog is that the blog has many posts relating to makeup. The way the blog is set up is intended for an audience and there are many links for the reader to check out and interact with. There are reviews about cosmetics, hair and makeup tutorials, fashion features, even contests. The blogger is writing in first person tone. The interactive features include a chat box, which allows readers to leave comments and messages for the blog owner, a link to follow the blogger on Twitter, contests and videos. What I like about this blog is all the tips and tutorials there are on there. I also love watching her tutorials on YouTube. They’re fun to watch and I get to learn how to achieve a look with the makeup she uses. At this time, I don’t think there needs to be any improvements.

The next blog I chose is NessassaryMakeup. It’s similar to Pursebuzz.com, but it’s more user-friendly since there aren’t as many links on this blog. Like Pursebuzz.com, this blog is written towards an audience and also written in first person tone. There is also a link for Twitter followers to follow this blogger and there are YouTube videos for tutorials as well. What I like about this blog is the simplicity of it. She writes about her everyday life, and rates products she’s tried, has tutorials and lots of pictures. I don’t see any need for improvements. I like it the way it is.

The last blog I chose is Bllew Photography. I chose this blog because of my interest in photography and also because this blog is owned by two friends of mine. Since the blog is written by two people (at separate times), they write it in their point of view towards an audience. Their interactive features include a comment box, which allows viewers to comment on their blog posts. I like the blog because it’s simple and has lots of pictures, which inspire me to learn how to take better pictures. I’ve noticed some grammar errors, so that could be something that could be improved by the bloggers.

Two ideas I’d like to maintain for this blog would be photography and shopping.
