The Nordstrom Anniversary sale opened to all cardholders yesterday. You can find my picks and recommendations here and here. I’m anxiously awaiting the shipped/canceled email to see what I really get. A few things I had my eye on had already sold out. Good thing- the total for that cart was way more than I care to admit. There will be returns though, because I ordered several sizes of a couple pairs of jeans because I don’t know my size anymore, but it’s smaller than it used to be thanks to FWTFL.
If you spent all your money, or you didn’t shop at all and still want to see some thrifty deals, I’ve got 5 of my favorite things that are all under $5 for your today.

Real Techniques eye shadow brushes– I love these and currently use them.
Seems like we are always looking for a twist tie or a cable tie. I think we need these reusable twist ties in our life.
The spatty- I love being able to use more of a product with this. I bet it saves me more than $5.
Makeup brush cleaner – Great for when you want to swap colors but you aren’t ready to wet and wash your brushes.
House tissue box cover– This was under $5 when I bought it but now it’s not. I’m sharing it anyway because the little tissue smoke wisp makes me smile every time I see it. I have it on the coffee table in our living room. It’s still a deal at $6.50 and it may drop in price again.
I hope you have a great weekend. Linking up with Friday Favorites.
