The Goodwill Sale

I promise I will have some fun posts coming later this week, but for today I just wanted to mention that Younkers, Herbergers, Bergners, Bon-ton, Carson Pirie Scott, Boston Store, and Elder-Beerman will be having their Goodwill sale this month.

For anyone who isn't familiar with the Goodwill Sale, it works like this: for every item of clothing, bedding, etc. that you bring in to the store to donate to Goodwill, you will receive a coupon.

So why am I talking about this on a beauty blog? These coupons work on cosmetics! I don't know about you, but I use every opportunity I can to save on makeup. The sale starts on September 19th and goes through October 5th. For the first five days of the sale (the 19th-23rd), you can receive 20% off of cosmetics and fragrances. This is an awesome deal, and you should definitely take advantage of it if you live in an area with one of these stores. After the first five days, you can still receive 15% off of cosmetics and fragrances, which is still a great deal.

If you are worried about the store not having the items you want to buy or can't make it in on the first four days, call or stop in and have a beauty advisor do a pre-sell for you. We can hold the items for you with a credit/debit card number and it will be rung up when the sale starts. That way you get everything you want and get 20% off. You can then pick it up on any day during the sale at your convenience.

One more thing to mention about this sale: Lancome's gift with purchase starts September 18th (the day before the Goodwill sale). You can use your Goodwill coupons on Lancome products starting September 18th, plus you can get a free gift. That is twice as awesome as just getting a discount! I will have a post on the gift with purchase when the gift actually starts for anyone interested. Call your Lancome counter for inquiries about the gift for now.
