Major sad day! I love modest clothing, and Shade is similar to Down East Basics, where I get most of my modest clothing especially layered clothes to go under shirts which are too low.   I just got an email saying they are closing down their stores and online shop.   They have a big ad on their site saying 75 % off, but when I looked around at prices they were marked down about 30-40%, not 75%. So maybe some discounts are still coming?  Let us know if any one goes in-store what the prices are!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of LinensNThings. All opinions are 100% mine.

Linens ‘N Things has a hot new coupon code out: LNTFREE which is valid thru 9/15/10.

Let everyone you know about this code – August is traditionally a hot month for linens to go on sale (White Sales is what they are called), so we should be able to score some great deals! I just went to their site, and my favorite item on clearance was their regency towels 36% off. My towels are all old and drab, had them since college. For some reason we didn’t get towels at our wedding. Well I think these towels would be a great wedding gift!

There’s lots of other items on Linens ‘N Things, including tableware, bedding, window, bath, home décor, organization, outdoor, gifts and most things that you can’t find in a small town. Sometimes I think Walmart is the only place to get cheap items- but if you combine coupon codes with clearance online deals, you can get high quality items for the same price or less than Walmart.

Every item on Linens ‘N Things also has customer’s ratings next to them, and reviews by customers. I only shop online at places where they allow their customers to do reviews. If 90% of the reviews for a product are good, I go for it. If they are mostly negative, I steer clear of that product. I think it shows that a company is honest if they allow even negative reviews of products to stay on their site.

I have a lot of stores on the cuckoo deals map, but not all stores.

I have time to do 2 more stores per week of full coupon match-ups.  I was thinking of doing Fresh Market and Albertsons.  Or maybe Smith’s.  What do you think would benefit you the most? What match-ups are hard to find?

Smith’s media rep just sent me this info:

I wanted to let you know that Smith’s Food & Drug Stores has unveiled its all-new digital coupon center, available on its website at www.smithsfoodanddrug.com.

Previously when you went to the Smith’s website, you were linked to Cell Fire or P & G.com. Now all e-coupons are on the Smith’s site—150 on average!

Shoppers can easily load offers directly onto their Smith’s rewards loyalty card.

UPDATE: Giveaway has ended, entry #229 won - view more details here

DownEast Basics has the cutest modest clothes!  Completely affordable as well.  I got the shirt shown above, and LOVE how light the fabric is!  Lovin’ it for these hot Utah summers! Their tops run around $20, much better then other designer clothes stores.

But my favorite thing about DownEast clothes is: their clothes are quite classy looking, so they stay in style a long time.   I don’t buy clothes often, so when I do I want them to be stay in style.

If you go to order clothes on their online store, keep in mind that their sizes seem to run big.  I usually wear a medium top, but on Down East clothes I always wear a small, or sometimes even an extra small!   Makes me feel good :)

GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED – VIEW WINNERS INFO

Soda Stream makes home-made soda pop in re-useable containers so you don’t have to buy soda anymore.

Soda Stream gave me a soda stream and some flavors to try out.   Normally you put a lid on the liter and shake it gently before you drink it. In the video I don’t put the lid on because I couldn’t find it; my husband thought me looking around for it was funny so we shouldn’t do a re-do.

Using your own home carbonation system has benefits:
