FREE Lip Product at Bath & Body Works
Here's another great coupon for a FREE lip product valued up to $12 when you purchase ANYTHING in the store! I've done this deal a couple of times now and I just go in and buy one of the their $1 bags. That means I pay 50cents for each item. That's better than the dollar store. But hurry on this deal because it's only good this weekend before they start their semi-annual sale. If you buy a small cute bag for a buck you can put your FREE lipstick inside and give it as a gift. Not bad for $1!
