Shipped for Under $20 - Drugstore.com

The "Shipped for $20" series is essentially the Internet equivalent of going to your favorite store and raiding the end-caps for dirt cheap clearance merchandise. Your favorite online retailers will liquidate their overstock using their web sites. It’s been a while since I’ve done my clearance scavenging ritual, so I thought I’d share a bit of what I’ve found today.
There are a few rules I like to follow. These help me from getting caught up in the moment of clearance frenzy.

Rule #1 – I must check for coupon codes prior to checking out.
Rule #2 – The product(s) must be well below retail.
Rule #3 – I can’t spend over $20 including shipping. The only exception is if I really truly need and have been thinking about the item(s) prior to, oh let’s say, the last hour!
Now for the fun part! Here’s my goodie list for the day… I spent $18.56 total!


They are running a special for free shipping if you also buy something (anything!) from their sister site beauty.com.

• Start at the drugstore.com site and click on the promotional banner for “Free Shipping w/ Beauty.com order” which directs you to beauty.com.


• Click on the accessories button and go to the left side-bar where it allows you to “SHOP by price. Click on $0 – $25. Then sort by lowest price. I picked a $2.00 Stila refillable compact. I plan on pouring my Bare Mineral powder foundation into it.


• At this point, your cart should reflect the free shipping and you can now choose 3 free samples from beauty.com. There should be a pink box to the right that says “you’ve earned 3 samples, click to choose” or something like that. Go ahead and pick them.


• Now look up in the left hand upper corner and click on the link that says “2 sites, 1 cart”, which will direct you back to drugstore.com. I’m sure there are other ways of doing it, but this is the most direct.


• Now shop drugstore.com. This is my list of goodies I bought “Shipped for under $20”!

NOTE: the free shipping was a little tricky because it disappears if you venture away from the cart during the checkout process. Just make sure you don’t and you will be fine. If for some reason you manage to lose it, you can try again by deleating your browser history and cookies.
