Are outlet malls a bargain? 2007-06-30 12:51:04 We all love it, the outlet mall. Places where we go get great bargains. But the question is though, are they really a bargain? The answer is: maybe. There is no disputing that a true factory outlet- a store operated directly by a manufacturer is - often a place where savvy consumers can obtain great bargains. However, many manufacturers don't want to undercut the stores that sell the bulk of their products. That explains why sometimes the outlet prices might be higher than your local discount store.
How can you make sure that the price in outlet store is the lowest? If you know that product can't be find anywhere else or has very little competition, then you know you are getting a good deal. If you can find the same product in discount stores or even online, chances are the outlet will not have a better deal. Nowadays online outlets are able to provide cheaper price than some of the outlet stores. The reason for that is they don't have any store operating expenses. They don't hav Read more:malls

How much time do you spend in the morning 2007-07-19 08:36:57 This morning as I finish my morning routine and still have about 30 minutes left, I started to wondering how long does it take you to get prepared in the morning?
Here is our new poll: How long does it take you to get prepared for work each morning? Do you get up and run or do you really take your time. I tend to spend around 30 minutes every morning. 15 for shower, 10 for makeup and about 5 minutes to make sure I got everything I need. How about you?! Cast your vote on the right hand side bar.
six tips to help you save money on makeups 2007-07-18 23:36:55 Remember the poll we did back in Jan. - How much should I spend on my face? Well, some of us spend way too much. So today, apples2apple is going to share some of our money saving tips on buy makeups.
1. Choose a cosmetic line that is not yet well known instead of established brand names.
Just because they are not yet famous, doesn't mean they are not good. Just because they don't spend tons of money on promotion, doesn't mean they don't care about their customer. Some new cosmetic lines are focused on their product rather than marketing. If you have a basic understanding of ingredients, you are most like to choose by it's function, rather than it's price.
2. Buy them in off season.
This is simpler to purchase cloths after it's season. Swimming always cost less after summer so does sunscreen. Most cosmetic products last for years so it's fine to stock them up while they are on sale or off season.
3. Mix your own.
The easiest and che
Stock up on swimwear 2007-07-17 22:10:00 Half way through the summer, it's perfect time to stock up on swim wear for next year. If you happen to find your size on a set, there is no reason to pass the deal.
Very Sexy� Crochet cover-up by Victoria Secrets is only $14.99, tons of bikini to choose from for $7.99, $8.99 and $9.99 a piece. (What a steal!) Save up to 70% with very sexy, beach sexy collection is up to 60% off and designer collections are 25-60% off including: Calvin Klein, Juicy Couture, and more! (I am stocking up without doubt. )
Also, remember those awesome swim wear from Old Navy we had on our May's issue? (Click here if you can't fine it yourself.) All those are now only $6.99 and $8.99! (Sizes are limited) I really can't think of anywhere to find a better deal.
So, if you are tired of your old swimsuit, it's time to get a new one to empress your loved ones. And the look on his face, is always priceless.
