Wal-Mart’s Special Delivery
What: Who has the time to drive miles to their nearest discount store to pick up a new tube of mascara or lipstick? We certainly don’t. But now Wal-Mart is stepping in to help time-strapped and budget-conscious consumers by launching an all-new home delivery plan that brings beauty and health products to your front door. For the first time ever, Wal-Mart is letting its customers shop online for low-priced beauty products from name brands like Maybelline and Neutrogena, with shipping that costs just 97 cents per item.
What Wal-Mart Says:
“Customers have long trusted Walmart to provide ...
Abercrombie & Fitch Reluctantly Reducing Prices
What: Abercrombie & Fitch, like any retailer that sells overpriced merchandise, is hurting right now. However, the chain won’t start slashing prices left and right - instead of putting every other clothing item on sale, A&F is going to slowly and subtly lower prices.

Looking ahead to the spring, the company has cut better deals with manufacturers that will allow it to charge lower prices at stores without taking a big hit to margins.
What We Say: Right after they shut down Ruehl, too! We’re not crazy about A&F to begin with - it’s a teenager’s world over there - but ...

Bold Nails for Fall ‘09
What: Fancy jewelry and expensive handbags are so 2008. Manicured nails are the fashion statement of 2009, now that striped metallics, earth tones, and custom-designed nails are all en-vogue. For budget babes interested in doing their own nails at home, experts recommend choosing bold colors—like blood red—or painting dark hues over the top of more opaque pink polishes to get the runway look at home.

What: We’ve got a special place in our heart reserved for H&M, and now that we may be able to shop for our favorite diffusion lines and trends online…well, we’re in love. Rumor has it that H&M will launch an online storefront for the US. To date, Americans have to purchase everything in store.

Sponsored Video: Kathryn Takes the Supreme Maxxinista Challenge
I took sometime last week and went on a undercover mission to see how I could do, as the Supreme Maxxinista, at my local TJ Maxx. I found some awesome deals (hello a pair of size 11 purple suede Jimmy Choo booties for 50% off.. love it). I didn’t buy the boots (I REALLY WANTED TO), but even at 50% off they were a bit too rich for my blood, but I’m positive that the women clocking them over my shoulder went and bought them. I did buy like 4 dresses, 3tops, and a much needed cashmere scarf for like $160.
