Big Lots Haul + $6 Deborah Lippmann

Last Friday I heard (it through the grapevine) that TJ Maxx had Deborah Lippmann polishes for $6.00! Jumping at my chance to own my first DL polish at such a killer price, I raced over there after work! After some searching I finally found them -- Naked and Pearly Queen. SQUEEE!! I ended up picking up Pearly Queen because...It's. Freaking. Beautiful! I can't wait to try it!

While I was on that side of town I figured I'd hit up Big Lots which is right next door to TJ Maxx. I found a couple of 4 packs of ELF polish for $1.80 (which I passed up because I haven't had good luck with their polish in the past), some Salon Express stamping sets for a little over $6.00 (passed over those because I already have them), and duo packs of Revlon Top Speed for $2.00. Woot!

I was about to head to the check out when they mentioned something about a 'drug store buy out' at the back of the store. Hmm...sure why not. I was about half way down the aisle when I saw it: Essie. Lots of Essie. Baskets of polish. Essie for $1.50! OPI for $3.00! OH MAH GOD. My head exploded. No joke.

It probably took me 20 minutes to make sure that I checked, and double checked the bins for duplicates. Anyone that came down the aisle quickly turned and walked away. I was like an addict looking for a fix. I walked away with 4 bottles of Revlon Top Speed for $4.00, 2 bottles of OPI for $6.00, and 7 bottles of Essie for $10.50!!

My Haul included:
Revlon: Espresso, Jaded, Guava, Sugar Plum
OPI: Conquistadorable Color, No Spain No Gain
Essie: Be Right Bag, Au Natural, Anniversary Gala, Guchi Muchi Puchi, Need A Vacation, Chastity, Material Girl

WOOOOOOOO!!!!! That was fun! But the real fun came from seeing how much I saved when I got home!

Let's assume the following (I'm rounding) and add a little 'Price is Right' theme music:
OPI is around $8 at Ulta :  $8.00 x 2 = $16.00
Essie is approximately $8 at Ulta:  $8.00 x 7= $56.00
Revlon Top Speed is $5.00 at Walmart:  $5.00 x 4 = $20.00
Deborah Lippmann is $16.00 according the the tag on the box.

And the actual retail price is: $108.00

What I actually spent: $26.50

Holy. Crap.

Even my fiance can't argue with that purchase. I can't wait to swatch these and get them posted! I also have ORLY, ColorClub, Spectraflaire, and new (to me) China Glaze on the way, as well as some Ulta and OPI.

TLDR:

Big Haul at Big Lots, TJ Maxx

Lots of savings
