Shopping for a Few of My Favorite Things

Last night while my husband snored happily on the couch, I was on the computer. This is pretty typical. When I was tired of doing research for the various projects I have in the works, I turned, as I so often do, to shopping.

Earlier this year, we had planned to move to Florida to be near my father-in-law. The plan fell through, however, and we decided to stay in New York. The only problem, however, is that I had gotten rid of many of my winter clothes in anticipation of mild Florida winters. So I’ve spent my spare time over the last several weeks beefing up my winter wardrobe. I’m almost there, but I need more tops. I headed to Victoria’s Secret to see what I could find, knowing that I frequently have good luck.

Yahtzee! Victoria’s Secret is having a phenomenal sale on tons of gorgeous sweaters. I picked up three sweaters for $19 apiece, plus a dressier boucle sweater for $29. I was certainly happy with these bargains by themselves, but a little research made me realize that I wasn’t quite finished.

A banner on one of the screens of Victoria’s Secret site proferred coupon code 25ITEM to take 25% off any one item. A banner on the main screen for sweaters offered coupon code RUSH08 for a free Beauty Rush lip gloss set. A quick scan of RetailMeNot yielded, among others, coupon code FA814857, which is good for a free messenger bag with purchase. The beauty of all of this? You can use up to three coupon codes on a single order at Victoria’s Secret!

The 25ITEM code applied itself to the most expensive item in my bag (the $29 sweater). The free lip gloss set and messenger bags also appeared in my cart, which means that I walked away with a lip gloss set, a messenger bag, and four great sweaters for $95.52 including tax and shipping. The shipping added more than I liked ($13.99 - FREE would have been my preferred price), but I felt that the sweaters were worth it.

The 25ITEM coupon expires on Monday, November 10. I haven’t been able to find a RUSH08 expiration date (the offer doesn’t seem to be posted on the site today, but a test order using that code this afternoon showed that it still works), and the FA814857 code is good through November 26. As of today, Victoria’s Secret has posted a new code: GIFTS08, which takes $15 off an order of $100 or more, $30 off $150, $75 off $250, or $150 off $500.

Oh, I should also mention that initially linked to Victoria’s Secret through my Ebates account, which will give me 4% cash back from my order. Sweet!

Happy Shopping!
