Shopping Networks Start Clearance This Week

HSN, QVC, and ShopNBC all have begun their after Christmas Clearance Sales. Additionally, this past year we have seen a new promotional strategy of putting clearance items on value pays, flex plays, and easy pays.  Since most of the nation  has had unseasonably warm weather, the clearance on apparel will still keep you au courant.  Choose from designers such as Isaac Mizrahi at QVC, craft goods such as Martha Stewart Crafts™ Star Burst Punch Collection at HSN, and faux Ostrich feather vests from ShopNBC.  Plus many of these sites are coupling these clearance sales with their white sale.

MDM Says: Now is the time to start scooping up those bargains that you can use throughout the remaining winter months and next year as well for less!

Rub-A-Dub-Dub…

Ever plan a Spa Day?  No?  No time and it can be expensive.  However, you can find some time to pamper yourself at home without breaking the bank.  How?  Well how about beginning with luxurious, wonderful bath soap?

At Bramble Berry® you can get supplies and make your own signature soaps with the wonderful sounding names such as  Clementine Cupcake, White Tea & Ginger and more.  Or you can buy some already made in quanties of 1 oz. and up.  Another option that MarkdownMom found that appealed to her bargain hunting instincts was the periodic sale of  Bramble Berry’s Grab Bag that contains $30 worth  of spa soap supplies for $15.00!

Perfect way to get your feet wet if interested in soap making as a business, or for personal use and special gifts.

Luxuriate this Valentine’s Day and Let Your Joy Bubble Over!

If You Have A Sheldon In Your Family…

Come on, every family has one Sheldon in it! You know the OCD brainiac of the CBS’ hit The Big Bang.   Markdown Mom has one in her family and bought this item after seeing Sheldon use it to fold his laundry. 

Now your Sheldon may not be as neat, and as a result is disorganized and has a room that is space deprived.  Whether or not your Sheldon is a copy of the original or just a version, this item will get him or her in shape. 

 The Debbee Flip Fold® is great to solve the problem of too much apparel or linens and no space.  By removing the air and folding the item uniformly, this product is a cinch for organization!   

Best price at HSN for $26.98 plus sh includes 2 sizes and choice of colors.

Creating A Golden Glow For The Holidays

Gold is wonderful color, reflecting the lights and the myriad of warm colors that make up the Holiday Season.  Finding the perfect shade of gold without going into the expense of gold leafing can be a trial and error search.  Markdownmom loves Kemps’s LustRgild Enamel® because it simulates that rich golden color of gold leaf rather than that flat gold with a green tinge that you find at some of the craft stores.  Get in a ½ pint quantity for $7.85 at Constantine’s Wood Center.  Also, comes in copper.

And for outdoor applications, Kemp’s Permagild® Exterior Gold Enamel, nontarnishing, sells for $23.95 a pint.  Applications of these great products are only limited by your imagination.
