Maddie wanted the Harajuku Lovers Coffret set which is nearly impossible to find. I found it at Ulta. Here is the best part, not only is there free shipping, but you get a free plush bathrobe with a $30 perfume purchase.

Limited Too has everything as buy one get one free.

I had no clue what a Harajuku Lovers Coffret was. I looked it up.

Holy Crappola Batman - $60 for kiddies perfume?!? really?

I am so glad I don't have kids to buy for.

It's not really for kids, it's more for teenagers and adults and it will last a while.

I would like to recommend once again the Windows/Microsoft Live Search Cashback (Much as I don't like Bill Gates and MS, that's for the programming. This is a different setup and a good deal.). Search for your desired product or website through Live search. If there is an gold coin icon with the words "Live Search cashback" next to the search hit , you're in luck. Sign up for the cashback program, and you can get from a few percent up to 25% (the highest I've seen) in rebate after 60 days. There are some limits, but you can do really well on some big ticket items. The rebates can vary, with some online stores offering occasional "sales" with higher rebates. I'm getting over $450 back from my computer purchase a couple of months ago because I hit one of those "sales" on hp.com.

I just bought a pair of iPod Touch units from the same vendor on eBay, one for GW, one for SIL. Search on "Apple", click on the eBay hit, and look for "Buy It Now" items. They're offering 25% in rebates, and that includes Apple computers, accessories, iPods, iPhones, and just everything Apple on eBay. And through the end of November, eBay is offering 10% off consumer electronics, which includes iPods, stereos (including car), TVs, GPS units and a bunch of other stuff. Because I bought both iPods from the same dealer, they were treated as a single item/purchase. So I got nearly $200 in the cashback rebate and another $75 or so with the 10% off coupon. And my credit card points give me another 1% back. I'm doing my part to keep the economy going, but spending a lot less than I otherwise would.
