Ventage Tuesday Five for Five Dollars (Come and Get Your Love)

Its that time of the week again!  I just made a tuition payment and have three weddings on my horizon so (eek!) trying to be mindful of a budget.  I have a few little luxuries to share, however, that are budget friendly and that happens to be today's topic!  5 things you use daily for $5 or less (Or very very close to it)

1.  You probably have guessed that I love makeup.  So here is the best makeup bargain on the market right now (and perfect for dewy summer looks).

Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush (shown here in Hot Tamale)  It is selling for $6.44 at Target so it is well below $5/use! (ha, ok so that is a little cheat).  I picked this up after a tip from Katrina and have now purchased it in like 5 colors.  You apply with your fingers - go for the brighter colors and try it out!  Although the colors in the pan might look a little intense, the intense colors work much better!!!

2.  Lego mini-figs ($2.99 per pack).
These little people just make me laugh.  I keep a stash in my office and use them like I am setting up battle scenes when explaining things to my clients.  hahahahaha.  it cracks me up.

3.  An App.  This American Life (free - itunes app store).  I am not a typical NPR listener but I love me some Ira Glass and his profound storytelling.  I often listen to the podcast on my way to work.  

4.  Another beauty product, I promise I am not a vain jerk.  I have become addicted to Watkins Body Oil Mist in Coconut Oil and Honey  this one is $8.99 per bottle but a bottle will last you for MONTHS.  I highly recommend using this right after getting out of the shower.  The smell is awesome and it makes your skin look H-O-T.  

5.  Diet Coke.  I know.  Soda is bad for you (blah blah blah) but I need one.  (or two) every day.  :)  Can be found for $1 at McDonalds for the large and everyone knows that McDonalds has the best fountain soda.  Word.  

Check out what Katrina, Em, Barb, and Steph have on their lists.

And seriously - try these products out!!
