Wow! I got a 50$ and 2 10$. First non-10$ one ever!

I don't remember exactly, but does VS tend to do a FS with a lower $$ amount during the redemption period?

Congrats to all the big winners! I checked mine and on the sofa and went to sleep. I've been sleeping a lot the past few days. I had 1 $50 and the rest $10's!

There is the swim suit I had on. I love it. I bought it last year so the color is slightly different.
You looked great in that pic as it was. The new you will be OMG. I like that suit too.

Quote from wolfiegirl :
Congrats to all the bigger src winners!

All 11 of mine were 10. Oh well, better luck next time : )
The odds will eventually be in your favor. Comfort It took me forever & many SRCs to get anything other than 10s.

Quote from longislandgirl :
I went to mall yesterday, Express had SAS going on(may be an old news for you : unsure: ) clearance had extra 30% off . I picked up two tops/tunic:eek : I usually don't do much impulse buys but tops are cute and I think it will go good with leggings :heart :
IN VS stores PINK fleece items and ohter lingeries mostly from very sexy and SLT line were marked as sale - there were many choice and it was prices half off i think , satin kimono on sale stole my attention but I thought i might use my srcs to buy it. there were some lingerie of style this [victoriassecret.com] marked 34.99 there were few other too - i cant find it online- most of those were satin or sheer. And ohh.. there were sating PJs too !
To GH and all of you who are planning to buy cute :turtle : things it will be worth visiting stores to use SRCs. Didn't some stores allowed to combine srcs last time around? : )

HTH :heart :
Thanks for the heads-up liggie. hug I'm going to have to make a trip to the mall. Tizzy said our VS wouldn't stack SRCs last year though. They probably won't this year either. Frown

Which tops did you buy at Express?

Thanks! It's sad - I do SO many contests on SD and win quite a bit of stuff, so even though I was happy to win, I was bummed it was *only* $50 lol. If you are going to try, Saturday and Sunday next week are the best days as they giveaway 2,000 each day, and the week following Friday and Saturday are the best, they are doing 2,000 those days too. The other days are all 1,000 winners. Good luck!
Thanks for the info. Smilie

Sorry, about your teeth. Frown Dental work is no fun at all. I would faint, if my dentist said I was looking at $10,000 worth of work. EEK! Good luck. I hope you can get that taken care of & keep saving for your house too. That's a lot of money. Comfort

I'm glad your DD is doing better. She'll be out of that stage soon.

I don't know what to suggest about the VS acct. Do you have another CC or Debit card you could open up your DH another acct. with? You could always tell the bank to cancel your DC & get a new one. I've had to do that way too many times, because my DS keeps losing mine. shake head You'd have to wait a while for the other one to be shipped though. I hope you figure it out.

Thanks Smilie It's a few implants in the back where the two rear molars are, one on each side, may even need the back two replaced depending. Pregnancy killed my teeth! Bah! I know I'll feel better once everything gets started. I'm still young, hell - I am only 27. I need teeth lol.

As far as hubbys account - I was just more irritated with myself because I went and grabbed his wallet to use his debit card, and then went ahead and used my credit card anyhow lol. It's OK. I'll live Smilie Not like they ever send me coupons anyway!!!! Brats.

More colors are in stock in the Forever Sexy Push Halter Tankini top than they've had recently. http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper It's on clearance for $27.99. The matching bottoms are $15.99. My DH talked me into trying the leopard print.

ETA: There's more colors in stock in other tankinis in the clearance section too.

That is super cute. It's a nice big size and I love the colors. I have to check out the outlets one of these days. I'm in need of a new bag.

Awesome finds! Grabbing Gillette and Olay! woot

SP1229053 - Free Panty + $10 off with very sexy, Angels by victoria, or body by victoria bra purchase..
Thanks! Finally I can get the black Angels bra they were out of in store. bounce

Quote from GoHeels :
I'm seriously considering buying the push up in that color. I think the demi is a little cuter though. Maybe, because I already have a couple of the push up in that style. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter which I think is cutest, since the demi doesn't work for me.
I know how you feel I love the look of demis but they do not work for me. I do like that color. Wink

Quote from GoHeels :
I never noticed any channels were blocked. We always had a satellite, when I was growing up though.
I can't remember all but movie channels, MTV, VH1, and a few others I can't remember it was so long ago.

Quote from GoHeels :
To me, people in that area are the nicest people you will ever encounter. They genuinely care about people. It's not an act. They can worry a little too much about the Jones' though. I have a live & let live attitude, which is another reason I couldn't handle living there all the time. I genuinely care about people too, but I really don't care what anyone else does. I also don't feel a need to have what everyone else has. That's kind of the lifestyle there. Everyone knows everyone & their business. I hate that. People here are much more laid back & don't really care what anyone else is doing. That's a better fit for me.
I hate people being in my business too, that's why I love where we live no one here knows us.

Ooooh - love the suit Smilie Hope you love it when it gets in!

Thanks Smilie I know things take time, I am just the most impatient person in the world. I HATE waiting. I want both and I want things done now.

Pregnancy was not kind to my body. At.All. I quit smoking 4/10/11 and gained 15 pounds FAST. Then I immediately got pregnant! So not only do I have a ton of baby weight still, I have the quit smoking weight and I wasn't really comfortable before that. Then the teeth went to hell and my skin is HORRIBLE. It may even be beyond the repairing powers of Clinique - and THAT is bad lol. Oh well. Thank goodness Louisiana is a community property state, hubby is stuck - at least it gives me time to fix myself laugh out loud

Do you all think they'll have a lingerie code anytime soon? I can't remember seeing any, but I wasn't looking for them either. I'm thinking I'll wait a while to order those hoping to get a discount or GWP. What do you think?

TBH, I've never looked for any of those channels on their cable. They could be blocked. I just don't know. I don't watch those channels anyway.

I ordered a purple paisley tankini too. I'll let you know what I think about them, when they arrive. There's one more swim suit I want, then I'm done buying swim suits this year. That is, if the suits I've ordered work for me. That will make 5, which is all I need considering we don't go to the beach that often.

Not sure, but they may have a lipgloss with bra top purchase code. At least they used to in the past. Maybe something with sleepwear purchase, but not sure about lingerie exactly.

I just want the clothing prices to go down! laugh out loud

What is the deal with all the "long" [victoriassecret.com] lengths in clearance? So many cute styles but all in long. Sadwalk

I'm trying to figure out which Angels push up to get. One says Push up and the other Push up adds two cups sizes ...... DH over my shoulder - two cup sizes. Thumbsup

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
What kind of bra did you buy and where at! I'm going to try to go look for some today.
I went to Kohls. I loved the Bali brand as well as Barely There, they were the most comfortable for me.... I couldn't find my favorite one, it was by Bali and was cotton, simple and gave nice support.

Something like Bali1 [kohls.com]

This one Sleeper type bra [kohls.com] is really ugly and frumpy, but I was directed to wear something just like this for like a month after I had them done. Something thin and closed in the front for convenience.

I recommend just going to a bra department in either Penney's, Kohls, Macy's or where ever you shop and feeling around for some COMFY wireless bras. That's all I did. VS bras hurt mine at first, they have too much push up even when they aren't labeled "push up" and you don't want to push them up at all right now in order to avoid displacement.


Hope that helped!



CONGRATS! to everyone who had high value SRC's!!! Smilie I'm currently in Washington DC so I won't be able to check my values for a couple days Frown yall are making me anxious though!

Congrats on the big wins on the FB promo! Missed it this morning but I'll be ready tomorrow. bounce Hope everyone win big this time!

Quote from azn1x6flame :
Congrats ladies!

Because of this, I'm tempted to use all my SRCs now!! But I'm of course worried if one of my new orders happen to come with a high value SRC, what would I buy? :lol : Thinking too far ahead! Stick Out Tongue

You should stock up on the Unforgettable! It's a nice bra! I'm sad that they will probably eventually take Biofit off. The floor space for it is SOOO limited now, even in the bigger VS' :sadwalk : That's my favorite bra!
Oh yeah, I don't remember seeing the Biofit any more in the stores here. Hopefully, you'll be able to snag up a bunch of them this SAS. Most of them were $19.99 last SAS, hope they slash the price even more this time!

I ended up just placing 1 order last night. Cheaped out cause I didn't want to pay shipping. I hope they do fs with no minimum soon like in the last SRC season. nod
If you want more SRC's, place your orders now. It's VS, there's always more stuff to buy! Wink

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Also thanks for all the compliments. I have taken pilates classes before but I haven't since before the holidays. I do these 2 videos:
http://www.amazon.com/10-Minute-S...085&sr=8-3

http://www.amazon.com/10-Minute-S...189&sr=8-4

I like them because they're in 10 minute segments so they're great if you don't have much time. There are more 10 minute videos on amazon too. I also have a treadmill that I do 1-2 miles on 5 days a week. Sometimes I work out on weekends if dh is gone.

The tan was a versa spray tan in the lightest shade.

VS doesn't have codes for sleepwear too often. They sometimes do GWP or 20% off, but it's usually around Christmas.
