CANADIAN OOT BAG info...where to shop!

[DramaticAnnie]

I found the G2 packs at grocery store called Hannaford.. not sure how widespread it is in the states, but it is all over Maine.

 

the Avon aloe is on sale again for this Campaign in AVON, it is $1.99 per bottle and the bottle itself is pretty big, not giant size but I didn't want to get the small travel size aloe personally, since when I get burned (and I always do, and so does my fiancee) we need gobs of it all over our shoulders and back and I figure one of those lil ones will be used up during the first application.. but yeah.. it was $1.89 this summer when people were grabbing it up, but it is in the "Look Beautiful for Less" sale flier in the Avon Campaign 21 (goes out October 2nd) if you're interested! I think I got enough last time

Ladies,

 

I know some of you were looking for labels for your OOT bags. In my latest Vistaprint order there was a coupon for free labels if you go to www.vistaprint.com/fall2011

I think you only get 1 sheet for free, but you might be able to order 1 sheet in each size....that seems to work with postcards and invitations.

 

Enjoy!

I looked on the Avon website and I can't find the $1.89 Aloe.  Is it only available through a representative

Just FYI for anyone going over to the US for a shopping trip - go to Michaels in the US - they carry the same stuff but the prices are cheaper - so the travel candles I bought here for $24.99 with 50% off was $12.50, in the US I found them for $18.99 + my 50% off coupon came to $9.50.

 

Pennies add up....

We did our OOT michaels shopping in the US and it frustrates me so much that the $1 items are $1 there and $1.50 here... especially with the state of the dollar right now!  Wake up michaels, time to even the playing field!!

LOL - they are not the only one's torrilynsmith.  I live in Windsor - Detroit is literally 2 minutes away and Walmart over there is always cheaper.  It makes it worth the $8 toll charges to cross.  Even the tunnel charge is out of whack  $4 US each way but $4.75 CDN. 

 

You learn to live with it and you learn what to go over there and shop for!

As well I've noticed that if I go to the Micheals thats closest to the border in the states that they seem to have to the same price as the Canadian stores but if I go to the one the half an hour down the road they are cheaper.  So confusing and annoying but really whats an extra half an hour to get the better deal.

Sorry I have never ordered through the site, but it is $1.99 Aloe Gel and it is on the last page of the "Look Beautiful for Less" flier that was distributed with the current regular avon books (the Campaign 21 due to Avon October 2nd 2011). The item number is 191-011 if that helps you search for it! Good luck

Thanks I think I can get my mom to order from her lady as they don't appear to have the sales online.

ALMOST Finished shopping.  Now all I have to do is get ear plugs, Advil & Emergen-C. And Gum & snacks from Costco

 

Still havent decided on the type of bags I want to put everything in.
