Points....

So what do I mean by points??? Stores that give you points for each dollar spent - then when you add them up you get either money off, coupons or services....

Basically, a thank you to loyal customers!

I am a huge fan and tend to only go to stores who will reward me for my loyal purchasing...

Today we'll talk about Ulta. Ulta is a beauty store....perfumes, makeup, hair care, hair products, and a hair salon. For each dollar you get three points...but often you can get coupons that allow you to get 4x, 5x, or 10x the points. You better believe I wait for those 10x coupons to buy the big purchases.

I accrue a lot of points and usually save them for blowouts, but often will save them for a big purchase like Kinerase Eye Cream....a blowout - 1,000 points vs. $75 gift card - 7,500 points. But it's all what makes sense to your shopping sense!

So think next time you are at Target or Walgreens....and want to grab hair spray or a new mascara....you could be points closer to that new blow dryer you are craving :)
