My niece, Jessica, is visiting this week. I am introducing her to the wonders of free and cheap. We went to Target last night and again today. She was very excited to see what we could get. I didn't make a post for last night but the kids were so impressed by our trip today, they thought we should share.

Today we went to the mall and got Jessie a free sample of perfume at Sephora in JC Penney and a free 2 oz sample of body lotion at Bath and Body Works. Her suitcase was stuffed when she got here. She'll need a new bag to take her goodies home with. Last night I got her a free travel size Pantene conditioner and BOGO Herbal Essence Shampoo and Conditioner that was on sale for 2.50. Need I mention that she is loving her trip so far.
Not for nothing, it's been a great week.
I am enjoying spending time with my niece though. Yesterday, Glenn, Kelly, Cam and I took Jessie to the Strip District for lunch and to pick up souvenirs. Then stopped off at Station Square. We definitely want to get her to Mount Washington and North Shore before she goes home on Thursday.
