How to shop at your favourite store and save money at the same time

Are you a JCPenney shopper? From rewards points and special coupons to discount gift cards, there are many ways to save money on all of your purchases.
Add one or a few of these money-saving strategies to your bag of tricks before your next shopping trip and enjoy the bargains!

01 Sign Up for JCPenney Rewards

Stretch your department store dollars by signing up for the free JCPenney Rewards program. You’ll earn one point for every dollar that you spend and receive a $10-off-any-purchase coupon each time you accrue 250 points.
Here’s how to sweeten the deal a little further:

Shop on bonus points days.

02 Participate in the JCPenney Customer Satisfaction Survey

Look at the bottom of your next JCPenney’s receipt and you’ll find an invitation to take part in an online customer survey. Jump on it before you forget!
Once you complete the survey, you’ll be able to print a 10-percent off coupon.

03 Watch for Coupons

Check your Friday newspaper for a JCPenney sales circular. It often contains coupons for $10 off a $50 purchase and $15 off a $75 purchase.
Pay special attention to any circulars or mailings you receive around the holidays. They’ve been known to include coupons for $10 off any purchase of $10 or more. (That’s free money.)

04 Shop Through Mypoints

Are you planning to place an order on jcpenney.com? Access the site through Mypoints.com, and you’ll earn two points per dollar spent.

Hint: You can also cash in your MyPoints earnings for JCPenney gift cards.

05 Search for Promo Codes

If you’re placing an order online, be sure to do a search for promo codes before you check out. It’s fairly easy to score a 10-percent off or free shipping code.

DealCatcher.com is a good place to look for codes.
Do a simple search for “JCPenney promo code” and you will find many options.

Tip: Not every promo code available online actually works and, quite often, they cannot be combined. Try a few and choose the best deal.

06 Buy Discounted Gift Cards

Gift cards are another way to save money and you don’t need to wait for someone to give you one. Instead, purchase discounted gift cards through a service like Gift Card Granny.
By thinking ahead and paying less for a gift card, you can save up to an extra 16 percent on all of your JCPenney purchases.

07 Shop JCPenney Online Clearance

Sift through the clearance merchandise on JCPenney’s website and you may uncover a steal of a deal. The online store will have merchandise from all of the company’s warehouses and stores, so the selection is much better than at your local store.
For the biggest bargains, check out the closeouts pages and sort departments using the “price low to high” option.

How Table Covers and Throws Can Boost Your Business

Custom table covers are a must-have for trade shows and business events, giving your business that extra professional polish. Last month we shared some tips on how to make your next trade show a success. One of our suggestions was to make sure your trade show table and setup looks professional. A simple way to do that is to use high-quality signage and display items, including all the details like your table cover. Here are some helpful tips to help you choose a great-looking table cover or throw to boost your brand at events.

Quality Matters
A cheaply made table cover comes at a high price. You want your table to look professional, and that means the cover should be heavy enough to look substantial, printed with high-quality ink, and it should fit well and be secured to the table. If the cover is going to spend any time outdoors, make sure it’s waterproof as well.
Size Up the Competition
Pay attention to the displays your competitors use at shows and make a note of what you liked or didn’t like about their setups. Depending on your business and desired esthetic, there are many options on the market for table displays, and below we will go over some common table cover styles to help you get started.
Which Table Cover Style is Right for You and What’s the Difference?
It can be a bit confusing to know which type of cover to buy, so let’s take a closer look at some popular styles. BannerBuzz offers several types of table covers and throws, so you can choose the one that is right for you and your unique needs.
Open Corner Table Covers
These are covers that have open cut seams at the bottom, allowing for easy installation over tables of various sizes. This style comes in a 3-sided or 4-sided version and is a solid cover that is very popular at trade shows due to its versatility.
Fitted Table Covers
Fitted covers are designed for the perfectionists in mind, offering a wrinkle-free, smooth fit. These are also available in 3 or 4-sided options and are very popular at trade shows.
Stretch Table Covers
Simply speaking, these covers are stretchy. They offer to give in the material so you can fit them over your table easily even if you don’t have the exact dimensions, and they stay firmly in place. These hide a lot of flaws, making them a popular choice for all kinds of events.
Cross Over Table Covers
This design crosses over in the front, as per the name. They function exactly like regular table covers, but the crossover design makes them stand out and look a bit more modern if that’s your style.
Pleated Table Covers
If you’re into pleated pants, you’ll like pleated table covers. They are similar to fitted covers, but with pleats for added style.
Convertible/Adjustable Covers
If you do a lot of events and your tables are constantly changing, this is the cover you need. A few velcro ties make these covers easy to adjust so you can change the size as needed without compromising the professional look. These are definitely the most forgiving table covers BannerBuzz makes, and you’ll be able to use them for years to come.
Round Table Covers, Throws, and More
In addition to the styles above, BannerBuzz makes table covers in round shapes, and you can choose blank, printed, white, or multiple color options, and choose between weights and fabrics. Each product page will guide you through your style, material, and color choice so you can customize the table cover that will compliment your brand at trade shows or wherever your business takes you.

EASY MIRROR MAKE OVER

I’m not what would you call a cheap skate. At least I don’t think I am. Frugal. That’s a much better word. I like a good deal what can I say. I LOVE saving money as much as the next person. If I can make something (or more accurately if Pinterest makes me think I can make something) save a buck and not pull my hair out in the process I’m all in.
I’ve wanted to add a piece of mirrored wall art to our bedroom for a while now. I’ve been smitten with one that I saw at a Gallerie that starts with a Z forever now. Problem? It’s $255. I just couldn’t swipe my card. Couldn’t. I think I found something just as awesome and I spent 1/4 of that making minor modifications myself. Yay me. I’m always amazed at how quickly you can transform just about anything with a simple can of SPRAY PAINT.
I figure if I don’t like something, I’ll just paint it again. No problem. In other news I might be addicted to metallic spray paint ever since we finished our DIY GLITTER RIMMED MASON JARS . I could be addicted to worse things so I’m thinking it’s no so bad after all.

I found a similar mirror (vs the expensive dream mirror) at the bulls eye store. It started out black. Not that I have a problem with black because well it’s kinda my color but I wanted the mirror silver. I’m going for CALM and SOOTHING for this room makeover. My life is chaotic and LOUD so when it’s time to unwind I want a quiet little comfortable corner filled with lots of pillows. It’s true.

Once I had the mirror I popped over to my local LOWE’S HOME IMPROVEMENT to pick up supplies.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:
Valspar Metallic Spray Paint
Painters Tape
Paint Brush
Mod Podge
Glitter
Sand Paper

DIRECTIONS:

Place painters tape over the mirrored section.
In a well ventilator area spray paint the area that was black. Allow paint to dry completely. Add a second coat if necessary.
Remove painters tape. Discard.
Randomly paint the tips of the mirror with mod podge. Sprinkle glitter on tips.
Wipe sand paper along center of mirror to create texture.

Since it’s absolutely FREEZING here it took the paint a little longer to dry so I did the project over two days. I was able to paint the mirror by laying it on the packaging I purchased it in (bonus). You could always pick up a tarp or other paint coverings while you’re at Lowe’s if you prefer.
I’m thrilled with how it turned out and love the subtle addition that the glitter tips add. It looks fantastic at night with the night light and candle light. Yes, I’m a sucker for candles. Can’t have enough in my opinion.
