Go out of your way.

The other day I was shopping for cosmetics. I don't do that often and when I do, I consult with the Paula Begoun website to make sure I'm getting good, quality items. Begoun is known as the Cosmetics Cop, because she does extensive research to make sure makeup/skincare is living up to its claims. Sadly, many are not.

There were a couple of items I was interested in, at Nordstrom, the Mecca of department store shopping. I researched first, based on what I needed and then went in for an actual look/test. I met with a nice girl. She was very knowledgeable and beyond helpful. Nordstrom is known for their legendary customer service. She was no exception. I gathered my little stash when she informed me that a HUGE gift with purchase event was approaching. Who can say no to a little extra fun makeup? Yeah, me either.

To make a long story short, I needed, whatever, these items and she made it more economical because I'm getting extra goodies. What is the gist of what I'm saying? Talk to a sales person and do so regularly. They know all about the sales and perks of the store. Saving money in around about way, still counts as saving money.
