Currently, the condition of our economy demands that you save money when and however you can. Comparison shopping is a common, effective way to pinch pennies while still being able to maintain your current lifestyle. As a new mom and wife, I have learned that comparison shopping is easy and important. I decided to examine the products I use every day to keep clean, fresh and gorgeous. After doing some timely research, I discovered that Avon sells dozens of comparable products at bargain prices.
Costly skin care regimens are vital to looking young and beautiful. Lancome’s Advanced Replenishing Cream Cleanser costs $55 in regular retail markets. By choosing Avon’s ANEW Ultimate Age Repair Cream Cleanser that sells for $14, you save a whopping $41! Avon’s ANEW line of skin care products have been proven effective and affordable so you do not have to sacrifice your skin to save your wallet. If you aren’t impressed by the $41 savings, switch your foundation from Clinique Perfectly Real Makeup that retails for $22.50 to Avon’s Ideal Shade Liquid Foundation SPF 10 that is attractively priced at $10. SuperFULL Mascara from Avon costs $8.50. Compare to Lancome’s Hypnose Custom Volume Mascara at $24.00 and your savings skyrocket up another $15.50!
Designer Brands Don’t Mean Better Products
Buying a generic brand isn’t always comparable to the product you usually buy. That is why I am excited to share about Avon and the products they offer. I would contend that items from Avon are far from “generic”. Avon has created a brand name that can provide consumers with a variety of products that are equal to the high-end, department store merchandise at a fraction of the cost. If you’ve ever watched QVC, you have seen Bare Essentials Makeup. While I have used this brand in the past, I just couldn’t afford to continue using it after my daughter was born. Excitedly, I discovered that Avon offers a line called Smooth Minerals. After using Smooth Minerals, I am equally, if not more, impressed with Avon’s product.
Saving Time Adds Extra Benefits While Saving Money
The greatest part of discovering Avon is that changing my shopping habits has been easy! Instead of loading the 9 month old into the car, driving across town fighting traffic, dealing with the weather and busy parking lots and stores, I shop online. Avon offers their full line of products in their online store and I can feel confident that the items I am ordering are going to maintain the standard of quality I expect and desire. My order ships directly to my front door. Direct shipping options are affordable and if I spend more than $30, shipping is free. Your local Avon representative will also deliver your order to you at no cost.
The Avon Foundation is another reason I really love the company. The Avon Foundation has partnered with Reese Witherspoon and together they have presented millions of dollars in grants to fund breast cancer research. They have also been a leading voice in speaking out against domestic violence in Washington, D.C. and at the United Nations. Avon is the largest corporate supporter of the breast cancer cause, and the largest corporate-affiliated foundation for women’s causes, with programs in more than 50 countries.
Start Saving Now
Take the first step of this valuable money-saving advice by comparing your favorite products to products from Avon on paper. Write down retail prices for both products on the attached comparison worksheet. You’ll be able to see the monetary difference. The second step is to order from Avon! If you are not convinced by all my comparisons and testimonials, just order one product. Try it and if you like it, order something else. Over time, you’ll realize that comparison shopping with Avon is essential to saving while still being able to maintain your beauty and personal hygiene regimen.
