Saving on gifts!

I love using coupons to help save with everyday stuff like PUREX LAUNDRY DETERGENt :shock: and even groceries. But what makes me even more happy is saving on beauty products because really they can be soooo expensive.
When I was in the states a few months ago I was able to purchase a lot of Physicians Formula make up for very little or nothing at all (with coupons and sales of course).
I was good and saved some of that make up aside ( so hard to resist from opening all the packaging).

Now this gets even better, with so many girlfriends its easy to spend crazy amounts on gifts! So here is what I'm giving one of my friends for her bday. Got the basket and the wrap from Dollerama, making the cost of this gift $3 in total!!!! :shock: With the price of Physicians Formula here in Canada this could easily cost me $30+!!!!

how nice of you - WTG

I totally agree! EVERYBODY gets gift baskets from my couponing :)

It's so fantastic to be able to give generously for birthdays and holidays but not have a financial hurt on you afterwards!

It's lovely.

What a lovely gift basket. I'm sure your friend will love it.
I do alot of trading of handmade items to keep my gift costs down. So much fun. :)

I like the way you used that dollar store basket. I like those baskets and it is a good way to do up a gift. You are a very nice friend for sharing.

thanks all :)

She really did like it and said she was running out on most of the things on the basket so it was perfect.

That is very pretty and looks pricey too .. great job!!!

I absolutely love giving gifts! i used to spend an insane amount of money just because i love to spoil my friends and family. Now thanks to this site i can save a ton of money by ordering "freebies" and giving them away or just using coupons!! :)

Lovely, good job

Beautiful, I love chocolate brown!

beautiful gift basket.

great ideas and how thoughtful of you.

love your idea, i have actually set aside 10 of the satin care shaving gel to do the same with ... now need some more beauty coupons to add to my "gift stash"

Awsome gift idea. Smart canucks are so resourceful!
