Hello!!! Did you say FREE?

Today was a great and exciting day!! Cade and I got up and headed to Northeast Mall (first) for the freebies that the Department Stores were handing out. We hit Macy's, Dillards, and Nordstrom.

According to the website "As part of a class action settlement, $175 million worth of free cosmetics products will be distributed to members of the class for a maximum of seven days, while supplies last, on a first come, first served basis, beginning on January 20, 2009. No rainchecks will be issued. The products will be distributed at stores owned by the Retailer Defendants. A class member will be eligible to receive, while supplies last, a maximum of ONE free cosmetics product from one of the Manufacturer Defendants from which he or she purchased Department Store Cosmetics during the class period, May 29, 1994 through July 16, 2003, from the list of products below. If a class member has only purchased products, during the class period, from one of the Manufacturer Defendants listed below, then that class member is only entitled to receive a free product from that Manufacturer Defendant. If a class member has purchased products, during the class period, from multiple Manufacturer Defendants, then that class member must choose the ONE free product he or she wishes to claim from one of those Manufacturer Defendants. Again, these products are only available while supplies last, and no rainchecks will be issued. If your store has run out of settlement products from the Manufacturer Defendant(s) from which you have previously purchased Department Store Cosmetics during the class period, then you may claim a product (again, while supplies last) from another Manufacturer Defendant."

The website goes on to list all of the items which will be available. Well, by the time the NEWS broadcasted the story on their 5:00 NEWS - 1/2 of America was up at the nearest Mall to claim their piece of the prize. We met Mom over The Parks Mall and Mom, Cade, and I waited our turn in the lines (short and quick might I add) for what was left. It became almost like a game... you could see women practically running through the malls from 1 department store to the next. I felt like I was Trick-or-Treating at the Mall. It was crazy!!! Out of the 3 malls we ventured to (Northeast Mall, The Parks at Arlington, and Northpark) - we had 2 choices. I was just happy there was something left!!! This was supposed to go from January 20-27. I think all the stores ran out today sadly. My philosophy is "Beggars cannot be choosers". So, thank you Clinique and Estee Lauder!! We REALLY appreciate it! I don't get many FREE cosmetic items so I am very very gracious!!! Plus, we did find some cute things for Cade at Janie and Jack for Hawaii! Bonus!
