The holiday season is when budgets are really put to the test. So many gifts to buy and every single penny counts. That’s where the folks at Offers.com come in.
Offers.com is an online resource that can help you find the best deals on products online. If there is a sale, discount or coupon happening, you’ll find it listed on their site. Browse through thousands of online brands and stores to save both precious time and money.
I recently put their site to the test by participating in their $100 stocking stuffer challenge. Using the deals and coupons listed on their site, I filled my stocking with some amazing beauty and makeup products with a grand total of $99.62.
So let’s see how I much I saved…
My first virtual shopping spot was with Bath and Body Works. Offer.com had a 20% off coupon code that I used on some yummy smelling Frosted Wonderland lotion ($12.50) and a Banana Nutmeg Bread Pudding candle ($8).
Total retail cost with shipping and tax $28.08
Total paid $23.73
My total savings came to $4.35.
Next I came across a listing for The Body Shop. The offering was for 40% off any order plus free shipping. I ordered some body butter in their holiday scent Glazed Apple ($20) and a Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder ($20) I’ve been dying to try.
Total retail cost with shipping and tax $48.35
Total paid $25.44
My total savings came to $22.91
While browsing through the Heath/Beauty category on Offers.com a listing for BH Cosmetics caught my eye. The offer was for 5% off any order. Their Pop Art Brush set ($24.95) was 28% off. 10 makeup brushes and a case for just under $18?! Yes, please!
I’m a sucker for lip gloss ($5.95) so a 50% off sale on theirs caught my eye. I picked up Knock Out, a pretty pink, and Supermodel, a nice light nude.
Total retail cost with shipping and tax $46.80
Total paid $31.95
My total savings came to $14.83.
I ended up having a few bucks left so I used an Ulta coupon code listed on the site for $3.50 off orders over $10. I ordered the NYX Chunky Dunk Hydrating Lippie Set ($14.99).
Total retail cost with shipping and tax $22.20
Total paid $18.49
My total savings came to $3.71.
I think I did pretty good with this challenge! I saved a grand total of $45.55 off the original retail prices. If you want to save some much needed money this holiday season, check Offers.com first before you place your online orders.

With 3 teenage girls at home, these tips came at just the right time. My youngest LOVES lip gloss. Thanks for the insight.
