I'm going to try to go by the mall, after my dr. appt. today. Can I get double points with a beauty (lip gloss) purchase in the store? If not, what's the cheapest thing to buy that qualifies? Also, will they give me a hard time about the coupon nerdicus posted yesterday? Our B&BW almost always gives me a hard time about printed coupons.
clearance jewelry will be great too. most of them are $5.99 - 30% off.
eta: yes lipgloss doubled my points.

I just called a few VS's by me, and several have bras $19.99 and panties $2.99. I was only able to find one with sleepwear for 50% off, but hey, I'll take it!

Wave Just got back last night, we made it! I was mainly worried about Chicago b/c our plans were take a train 1 hour and then walk several blocks to the hotel. Once it got to be 10pm, we decided to just keep the car another day and skip the train. I think train + walking with luggage at 11pm 1 mile in an unknown city was what was scaring me.

Thanks and glad Debby missed everyone! I have that ruched knit dress from Express in 3 colors and it's all your fault!

Try not to worry about being safe in Chicago. Naturally, you need to use common sense, but the odds are definitely in your favor that nothing will happen. Have a great trip. Smilie BTW, what's a barn-warming party?
. . .
Thanks Smilie It's similar to a house-warming party but for a farm. (I guess it could also be a "Farm-warming" party). We get to see all the cows get milked and feed the baby cows heart . They they do hay rides and other relatives will give rides in their classic cars- the Model A was pretty neat! A few months ago, you might remember I went back to WI for a funeral- that was for their father, so they had to put off getting their own farm up and running while they cared for him - he had gone from farming everyday at 82 to incapacitated.
Quote from azn1x6flame :
About time to get an Express card! Seriously though, I really like the quality of Express' clothing. The only thing I've hated was this one cocoon sweater because it pilled almost immediately, but I was in desperate need of sweaters so even though I knew the fabric wasn't as good, I needed something. Their regular v-neck sweaters are nice and the cardigans! I like how they have styles for those not so fashionably inclined like myself with the nice solid colors.

I am stocked on dress shirts and DBF loves their dress shirts too. I bought a dress a couple years back that I'm going to finally wear to a wedding this July.

It just makes me sad that every time I shop at Express, I buy multiple colors of one thing I love and end up with 500+ CC bill Faint So...I try not to look, but you gals are pulling me back!
. . .
Yeah, I'm looking at my CC bill right now EEK! . Might be time to finally dump VS... I checked my closet and the items I've had in there the longest and in the best shape are from Express . I guess I picked a few items a year and those are the ones that stuck around. bulb However, I did just wash a drapey tee and it came out with a hole in it Mad . Not sure what their policy is on quality issues...

gh - i've never had problems with printed q's at express before, but i'm sure every store is different. also, that coupon (i found it on dealigg) is a little different from previous ones because i couldn't find the online code anywhere on it. but it looks like it's hosted on the express site, so i don't see why there'd be an issue using it.

the double points this month is on accessories, but kurpee said the lip gloss counts as an accessory.
"DOUBLE POINTS on any purchase made with your EXPRESS NEXT Credit Card* when you include any Men?s or Women?s accessory or fragrance."
Thanks for the info. Naturally, I forgot to use my coupon. I even had it in my purse. Doh

I bought the ruffle front, blue floral dress.http://www.express.com/ruffle-fro.../index.pro I was so excited to see the dress that Leftie loves in clearance in 2 colors. Unfortunately, they just kind of hung on me. They weren't flattering at all. I was going to try them in XS, but they didn't have that dress in that size. They had the black sequin skirt http://www.express.com/sequin-str.../index.pro I was going to order. I have it in blue, & planned to get the black also. My blue one is a S. The S in the black skirt didn't even touch my skin in the waist. Confused They didn't have that one in XS for me to try either.

Quote from nerdgirl :
so is that TBS cooling mist sunscreen really good? i'll probably need some sunscreen in vegas and thought i might go pick up some of those. it'd be a REALLY good deal if there were a 10 off 30 q... will they take the receipt q's?
I love the TBS sunscreen. I buy the water resistant one with broad spectrum sunblock. We have to have sunblock that's water resistant, because we go to the ocean so often. The mist is clear & there's no need to rub it in. It sprays on like hairspray. Just make sure you don't miss any spots.

Quote from CrazyCatJade :
Went in to my local store - all bras $15.99, all panties $2.99 and all beauty has been 75% off since last week...HUGE selection of bras left too.
My store had bras for $15.99 also. The panties were still $3.99 & above. I didn't really see any good deal on those. There were 3 bras in my size. I bought one, but didn't like the other 2. It looked like they had a lot of cute bras in smaller sizes. I know, because I had to dig through those to find my size in the appropriate bin. shake head I also found a cute babydoll for $12.49

Thanks for the info. I only bought one dress, so I didn't bother trying for double points. I'm still hoping for a good sale online.

I'm glad you had a good trip. I wouldn't have wanted to walk in Chicago that time of night either.

The bar warming sounds fun. I'd never heard of one, even though almost everyone I knew growing up had a barn. Our property in NC has a barn on it that our nephew is using for cows & horses. Do you think I could talk them into throwing a party & buying us stuff? laugh out loud It's the least they can do, since he's put all his horses & cows on our property. EEK!Stick Out Tongue

It's sad how people can go down so quickly. It's good your uncle had 82 years doing what he enjoyed.

I need a vacation too. Instead I keep having guests, which means I have to clean the house spotless. That's the furthest thing from a vacay. Embarrassment Are you still going to WDW? I think we're going to go to the Food & Wine Festival for a few days after our cruise. We'll be there the first of Nov. If you're going at that time, we should try to meet up somewhere to have a drink together or something.

glad you found something you liked at express!

and thanks for the TBS info. just to be clear, you get the one that's $15? the spf25 one? i hope they have them in my store.

also, an article [newyorker.com] in the new yorker about why american kids are so entitled... i thought it was an interesting read.

also, one about clutter [yahoo.com] and why we need it. Coverlaugh
