Sales, sales and more sales
The after-holiday offers just keep pouring in. Have cash? Whether your piggy bank is heavy or light, here are more ways to stretch those dollars:
CVS: L’Oreal cosmetics are buy one, get one free with your CVS card. Still have your Sunday newspaper floating around? The St. Pete Times ran coupons for most L'Oreal products this week. Use them, and save as much as 50 percent on top of getting one free!
Saks Fifth Avenue: Take an additional 50 percent off already reduced prices. (Up to 80 percent off.)
The Loft and sister store, Ann Taylor: Take an extra 25 percent off sale prices.
