Marshalls Healthy Food & Natural Beauty Haul - Major Savings!
Wow you guys, it has been way too long since I've posted anything! I've been super busy taking online courses (mostly because I'm a nerd and love to be learning constantly), and pet sitting (my side gig at the moment). Good news though, I just finished one of my courses yesterday and I'll be finishing the other in two weeks so I'll soon be able to dedicate more time to Natural Beauty Maven.
About a week ago I decided to pop into Marshalls since I hadn't been in months and I was in need of a few more healthy food items and nontoxic face masks. I've been known to find some pretty awesome stuff at great prices at Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, and Homegoods. Let's just say I came out with a little bit more than I went in for but I am SO happy I did.
If you don't already know, Marshalls (like T.J. Maxx and Homegoods) get their inventory in a variety of ways: a designer overproduces, a seller orders too much, the product is being phased out or discontinued, etc. Consequently, their products are discounted, in some cases significantly, from original retail price. The only downside to shopping there is that sometimes you'll fall in love with a product only to find it's no longer being manufactured. Most of the time though I've been able to find the items again.
As soon as I got home I made a list of what I spent for each item and did a little research online to find the original retail prices so I could calculate the amount I saved by shopping at Marshalls. Holy cow you guys, I was blown away. Let's jump right in!
I'll break this down into two categories: healthy food and natural beauty. I'll give a little description about each product but I won't be providing full reviews and thoughts as I haven't tried everything out yet. The prices I've listed don't include tax. Let's start with healthy food.

I know bareMinerals isn't known for being a 100% natural brand but the ingredients list for this product looks pretty good! I've been using this every day since I bought it and let's just say I like it so much I went back and bought the last two they had (one more for myself and one for my mom).
