Yum! One of the many benefits of facebook (yes, I'm a junkie) is that you can 'fan' different companies and they give you free stuff. This is one of those cases!
Einstein Bros. Bagels' is giving away a free bagel and schmear with this coupon though 5/2. No purchase necessary (that I can tell) and while it says it's not good for power bagels you can very likely pay the $.50 and get the upgrade...which is what I'll be doing...oh, that, and a big cup of coffee!
Print and enjoy!

Sephora Discount Code!
Oh. This is fabulous. And by fabulous, I mean dangerous.
Sephora has a 15% coupon code out from today through April 19. The code is "madness" --use it in good health (and glowy skin!)
Or, if you prefer not to pay the shipping (or you're shocklingly pale and need to double check all colors like some people I know...ahem, me) then print the coupon.
Also, while you're at it, sign up to be a Sephora Insider. Might as well get free stuff when you've spent $100, right?
Enjoy!

Wait, you still pay retail?
Nonono, you're doing it all wrong. You mean to tell me you're shopping online and not using coupons? Sure you may get the occasional e-mail from jcrew or someone telling you they have a sale...good for you for being on their e-mail list already! That's step one...
If you know you shop somewhere on a regular basis, go to their website and start receiving their daily e-mails. Why not? Bottom line is that you're spending half a second opening an e-mail and looking at the bottom for a coupon while getting a quick update on what's new in the store! You never know when there's going to be a "30% off all merchandise" lovemuffin down there. Seriously.
Things to notice: if you can use it in store and/or online. Benefit for in store is that you can try things on...benefit online is that you have a wider array to chose from, especially in the sale section. And boy, do I love the sale section. Also, if you can combine your coupons--a magical happening that makes things virtually free...more on this later.
Some of my favorite lists:
Williams and Sonoma-they have monthly free cooking demonstrations, how fun is that? I may not be able to afford their obscene Peruvian olive oil or something, but I sure as heck can afford a free demonstration and some noshing.
Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor Loft, Brooks Brothers-often have private sales and coupons for those on their e-mail lists. Ann Taylor Loft also has an educator program-hellloo Loft Loves Teachers 15% off everything!
Express and The Limited-if you're getting an e-mail from them, you very likely have a $20 off $60 purchase coupon in your future...and on a regular basis from this point forward. Also, get on their hard copy mailing lists for more great deals.
Jcrew-did you know that they have an extra 15% off for educators and 10% for students with valid ID? Did you also know it works on their full price and sale merch in my experience? Oh, and on top of other coupons? Almost makes it worth it to get a degree in underwater hungarian basket weaving...just remember that you either need to go to the store for this one or call the catalog number. Yeah, I know, you actually need to talk to someone. Lame. Just remind yourself of how cute those flip flops are and you'll be fine.
Beauty Brands-free or cheap stuff from hair spray to nail polish. Heck, why not?

Best Kept Open Secret: 6pm.com
I literally have a purse and shoe closet because my formidable collections needed a home. Why do I have such a collection? The blame lays squarely on 6pm.com
It's the outlet side of Zappos. Now, before you start harking back to that trip to the Ozarks when you visited the outlet mall and saw the bearded lady in a bikini, hear me out. These shoes are brand-spanking-new, designer, and inexpensive...and they were likely on the runway like 6 months ago, meaning that they're in this instant.
Sure, searches are easy and give you an idea of what's available, but if you have something in mind, a little time, and no cash, why not wait a bit? Definitely sign up for their e-mails, as they send out daily digests of the brand deals available. All Nine West shoes for under 24.95? Yep. Michael Kors for under 50? You got it. Sure, there will be days when you look and the list and just go "I don't need Tretorns", but by golley, you wait and once every 2 weeks or so, you can find an *amazing* deal. I do believe the deals are better when they say the brand is under a certain price, rather than at a certain discounted rate, but you be the judge.
My Most Recent Acquisition at the sweet sweet price of $35.55, down from $79.
Best Part:
Shipping is only $6.95, return policy is easy if you need to return them.
Worst Part:
Things can sell out quick and the deals can only be for a day...so be speedy!

What is Recessionistaism?
Recessionistaism is a state of mind...it also looks goofy as a word, which I dig.
My name is Effie, I'm a 24 year old STL chick who really, and I mean really, likes to shop. Despite the fact I only recently got out of school and work in the nonprofit sector (i.e. limited funding for frivolity) I still like having nice things that will hold up, look expensive, and make me proud to say the deal I got!
I'm of the personal opinion that you shouldn't spend full price for, well, anything. Sure, there are exceptions, but you need to find those for yourself. I just know where the deals are!
