Chic 'n Cheap Living

Happy Fun, Free Friday lovelies!

It has been a really, really great week but I am still glad to see the weekend come!

Online Sales
nomorerack is a new flash sale site with a simple concept - 8 products (everything from housewares to toys) are on sale every day. I don't see them having DVF but it has a decent selection of household stuff (e.g. Corningware ramekin for $1 from $5) and gifts (e.g. Ion flat iron for $21 from $118).

They have this cool promotion now where one gets prizes for referral like an Apple Nano or iPad! If you sign up through my link and I get the required number of referrals, I will give away the Nano or iPad (hey my husband has these gadgets already so I just want to share the ♥), It's a pretty cool contest AND you could win the iPad!

The first five referrals also get a $10 credit to the store (I got $5 signing up through someone else's link and was probably the 60th person, so maybe you will still get a store credit?)
I am not affiliated with nomorerack though I've included my referral link. But I thought this was an interesting way to earn a prize I could give directly to one of you.

Here is my invitation.

Banana Republic has 30% off everything this weekend if you use code BRWINTER30. Go through ebates first and you get another 15% in a cash rebate - this is the largest cash rebate I've seen offered so take advantage of it!
I'm thinking of these earrings ($44.99/ $26.77 after discount and ebates rebate).

ebates has a similar referral promotion and if you use my link, I will do a give away for a cash prize if more than 20 people sign up (but the contest only works if you sign up and spend more than $25!)
Even if you buy nothing, you still get $5 for signing up. Ahh free money...

Here is my invitation.

Otherwise this weekend, I am...
...trying clay pot rice again! I've been wanting to try more "local" specialities and tried this place once. Chicken, sausage and rice are cooked together in a clay pot and mixed with the restaurant's special sauce. Mmm.
