We love our Pure Enrichment PureZone Halo HEPA air purifier. This bad boy is great for allergy sufferers. It’s quiet and helps with pet dander, mold, mites, allergies and more. I feel like I’m walking into such a fresh room every time! It’s also pretty aesthetically pleasing so it doesn’t feel unsightly (it comes in 4 different colors)!

I have owned one of these Shark wand vacs since 2020!! It is my go-to for cleaning up crumb messes at lunch or dinner (anyone else’s kids manage to get more food on the floor than in their mouths?!) and random dog hair that shows up seconds after you just vacuumed. I have one in my dining room and living room for those quick jobs, and I couldn’t be without it. These would make a great gift for someone! I use it for jobs in the car too (sand and dirt from sports games/beach and more food). It’s seriously so convenient (and it comes in 6 colors)!

I’ve had a Nespresso since 2020 and let me tell you, this machine is life-changing! I’ve tried newer machines (different brands), much much more expensive ones, and I just cannot seem to part with it – the coffee is just so darn good! (DON’T skip on the frother – it has been a game changer for me!) This is the best thing ever – even my husband, who NEVER drank coffee, now officially drinks coffee because of this maker. I think that says it all!

Is there anything a KitchenAid mixer can’t do?! I love mine, especially now during the holiday season. It’s perfect for Thanksgiving cooking and Christmas cookie baking!

A gorgeous way to set the mood without the fire hazard! These remote-controlled Luminara flameless candles use realistic flame-effect technology so you feel like you have a real candle lit without it melting away! These pinecone ones are perfect for adding to your fall decor, too. I love lighting them at dinner or at night without having to worry about the kids or animals knocking them over!

We swear by these wet brushes in our house! My daughter has somewhat curly hair, and these are the only brushes that don’t make her upset when brushing the knots out! The fun colors and patterns are great for the girly girl in your life, and they also make fantastic stocking stuffers!

The deals don’t stop!! HSN offers a new daily special every day, plus you can start to shop early Black Friday deals now!! It’s also time to start thinking about gift shopping – check out HSN’s holiday gift guide and find that perfect something for everyone your list!

Don’t forget, new shoppers (or use new email) get $20 off their first order with code HOLIDAY23 and if you sign up for texts from HSN you can get 15% off!!

Target offers a variety of great options for back-to-school shopping when it comes to their clothes and shoes. Target’s Cat & Jack line has been one of my go-to’s for years, and you can’t beat the $5 deals on leggings and tees. The leggings with the durable knees are offered in so many colors and patterns, so mixing and matching outfits is always fun. There is always a great selection for both boys’ and girls’ styles and often doesn’t disappoint. Don’t forget to shop the $7.99+ backpack deal too!

I couldn’t believe it – I asked if she could go back and grab my size! They are currently offering 25% off on school gear and backpacks at the time of this post.

For my daughters, it felt like the options were endless and we found so many great deals on their Jumping Beans and SO brands!

Walmart

Walmart – I have to say that Walmart impressed me with all of their BTS clothing options! They have a lot of basics to mix and match and their Garanimals line is so nice for the younger crowd. I happened to stumble upon their Free Assembly line and I was so impressed with the options to choose from! My daughter received a hoodie from the Justice line for her birthday, so I had to check out their back-to-school options and they did not disappoint! The price point starting from $3.98 and new styles are hard to beat this year!

Yet another Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has come and gone, and we might still be recovering. This once-a-year sale brings us some of the best deals you’ll find, but boy can it be exhausting! We searched the stores, shopped the sale as soon as we could, and reveled in our purchases while trying not to check our bank accounts. Kristy is sharing what she actually ended up with from this year’s haul. See her NSale purchases below!

Frugal and Thriving may earn a small commission via affiliate links in this post. See full disclosure here.

How fun is this dress?! From the pretty pattern to the delicate details like the ruffled straps and hemline, this is a dress that keeps on giving! The figure-skimming silhouette makes it flattering for all body types, too. Pair it with sandals for daytime and switch to heels for an evening out.

A pair of distressed jeans is a must-have for every wardrobe. This pair hits the mark with a faded wash, “chewed” hems, and a contoured waistband that hugs the body tight without squeezing!

The flare is back, baby, and we are all for it! This medium wash pair of flare jeans adds length to shorter legs, slims thicker thighs, and gives the booty a nice lifted look! *adds to cart*

Ahhhh, boyfriends. What would we do without them?? They’re laid-back, relaxed, and always flattering – yes, we’re referring to the jeans! These boyfriend jeans will become your new go-to…pair with a casual crewneck sweatshirt and classic sneakers for an effortlessly stylish outfit.

There’s nothing quite like a good pair of leggings for the perfect athleisure look. These Spanx compression leggings are sculpting, slimming, AND sweat-wicking…need we say more? Finish the look with this adorable Zella zip-up jacket and your favorite athletic sneakers.

The sneakers that have taken the internet by storm, and with good reason! These On Cloudswift running shoes have a springy foam sole that provide lift, cushion, and overall comfort to your feet no matter the occasion! Wear them for working out, long days on your feet, or just as a cute everyday shoe – you’re going to love them.

And for an athletic shoe that also makes a statement, these Nike Air Max sneakers will do the trick! Not only are they designed with ultimate comfort in mind, they’re also fashion-forward and the perfect complement to your hottest workout gear.

Show off your street style with these Nike platform sneakers. The pillowy, plush interior makes for a shoe you can wear all day long so you can look good and feel even better!

A good pair of sparkling studs is an essential for your everyday accessory collection. These halo earrings are so eye-catching and honestly, who doesn’t love a bit of extra sparkle?!

Okay – definitely a little bit of a splurge, even with the sale price, but this watch is so sleek and such an elegant accessory! The neutral light gray color makes a great match for just about any outfit, and this is a piece that can be worn casually or dressed up…hooray for versatility!

Sunnies are not just for summer! Protect your pretty peepers all year ’round and add instant style to any outfit with a sleek pair of shades. Quay is one of our favorite sunglasses brands here at Frugal and Thriving, and the Level Up style and It’s My Way style, in both oat and tort black, were much-needed additions to the collection!

Simple home updates can make a huge difference in a room – and one of those minor changes is a brand-new shower curtain! This crisp white DKNY tufted shower curtain will instantly brighten up any bathroom.

These sugarfina sweets scream summer! These cute little candies make a great gift or party favor, and the beachy flavors in this bento box will have your riding the waves of sugary satisfaction!

Have you ever heard of quip toothbrushes?! I personally have not, but now I am intrigued! There are many products to choose from including brushes, floss picks, water flossers, mouthwash, toothpaste and even gum! There is a cool quiz that you can take that will help you figure out what the best oral care routine is for your mouth…I just did mine and Wow is all that I can say! Christmas will soon be approaching and the suggested products from my quiz will certainly be on my list for Santa!

Frugal and Thriving may earn a small commission from affiliate links in this post, see full disclosure here.

Quip’s journey began in a small neighborhood dental office in New York where they wanted to bridge the patient to their dentist in a modern way. The idea was to create a brand that put focus back on the basics: not brushing well, not brushing twice a day, and not replacing worn heads. With a dentist insight, a user-focused design, and a digital connection, quip was born!

Kristy had learned of quip and uses their products – this is what she had to say about them!

I’ve actually been using quip toothbrushes since before they became super popular – I tried them out about 3 years ago and loved it. My dentist has always recommended an electric toothbrush for me, and having one that was lightweight and easy to take on-the-go was such a plus! This was my very first quip brush (pictured above). You have the option to sign up for automatic refills every 3 months (which I opted to do, because, well, I’m forgetful haha), and the new toothbrush head and battery are sent right on time every time, and I know when to change it without ever having to do anything. 


Recently, I’ve upgraded to the smart rechargeable electric toothbrush and boy that sleek black is eye-catching! When you charge your brush, the charge can hold up to 3 months! Connect the brush to your Bluetooth and track your brushing habits! This helps keep you on track and you can earn rewards for your progress! It’s very motivating, which ultimately makes for one happy mouth, and you can connect more than one brush to the app so it’ll be fun for the whole family. I also love that the toothbrush travel holder doubles as a mirror mount and that there’s a built in two-minute timer to ensure you’re brushing for the proper amount of time! I would always just use my phone for a timer, and I use kids’ songs for my kids, so not having to listen to nursery songs anymore is great!

The refresh silicone traveling bag keeps everything together, and I love that you can collapse it flat so if you’re an over-packer like me, it’ll fit with no problems. It’s perfect for on-the-go, weekend getaways, or extended vacations.

Lastly, I also have the cordless rechargeable water flosser! This bad boy is my favorite! It comes with two pressure modes, and the magnetic floss tip can rotate 360° so you can get those tough areas easier. The battery can last up to 8 weeks after charging (that’s if you use it every day) – and the large water reservoir is really big, so you’re not refilling a bunch of times before you’re done.

Some schools may have already returned, but most schools have a September start date, and we love to support our teachers! Classroom budgets get tighter each year, and most educators spend far too much from their own pockets to get their classrooms together to help our kids learn each year. We started a ‘Teacher Wish List‘ on our group page for teachers to be able to post their wish lists for their classrooms in hopes that parents, grandparents or anyone really would ‘adopt’ a teacher by purchasing items off of their lists! Here are the most popular items that teachers are looking for this school year!

Some schools may have already returned, but most schools have a September start date, and we love to support our teachers! Classroom budgets get tighter each year, and most educators spend far too much from their own pockets to get their classrooms together to help our kids learn each year. We started a ‘Teacher Wish List‘ on our group page for teachers to be able to post their wish lists for their classrooms in hopes that parents, grandparents or anyone really would ‘adopt’ a teacher by purchasing items off of their lists! Here are the most popular items that teachers are looking for this school year!

The perfect purchase for summer! This lightweight hammock chair is great for lounging poolside, cheering on your kiddos at a sporting event, or curling up in the shade with a good book and a cold drink! It’s also ideal for camping or taking on-the-go, because it folds up nice and easy and is super simple to set back up.

This 6-bottle wine cooler is a classy addition to any home! Chill your favorite bottles with smart cooling technology and temperature controls. This makes a great gift…Kristy grabbed it for a wedding gift for her sister-in-law!

Kristy’s daughter loves Squishmallows – how cute is this kitty backpack?! It has a small zipper pouch in the back to keep little knick-knacks like chapstick or money, and it has backpack straps for easy carrying!

These lip balms are so sweet for your Squishmallows fan! These make a great stocking stuffer.

And this book is available for pre-order, but grab it now so you’ll be first in line to get it when it releases! Gift it to any Squishmallows lover for quick, encouraging doses of positivity and humor!

Kristy picks a different charity every year to support (check out our Poshmark Closet where proceeds get donated at the end of the year) and these Disney Squishmallows will make great gifts come this holiday season!

Kristy grabbed these stickers for teacher gifts – her daughter and son’s teachers love giving these out for rewards and encouragement! This is also great for the gift closet…you never know when you’ll need a last-minute gift, and stickers are always a fun idea.

These Super Mario Oreos were on preorder during W+ Week – and Kristy has a couple Super Mario fans in her house (did you see her son’s Super Mario-themed birthday party?!) that devoured them!

This LeapFrog Magic Adventures Microscope was a really popular item this year – it’s currently sold out. Kristy was only able to order it for pickup and then unfortunately had to cancel the order, but she’s keeping her eye out for it to come back in stock. Her kids love educational games like this, and the learning options with this one are endless!

Phew! Prime Day 2023 was crazy y’all! I’ve participated in past Prime Days solely as a customer of course, but this was my first experience as an F&T team member posting the deals, and it was on-another-level exciting! I found so many great deals for everyone else…and for myself *gasp*…so much so that my hubby said that I’m not allowed to work Prime Day next year…he’s so funny! Our whole F&T gang grabbed some great deals and we thought we would share them with you!

FaithNinja Coffee Maker – I had been looking for a new coffee maker for a while. I had my old one for about three years and while it always got the job done, I really wanted a machine I could program to ‘delay brew‘ so my coffee was ready and waiting the moment I wake up. I’m one of those people that needs caffeine to survive – it’s not a “don’t talk to me until I’ve had my coffee” it’s more like “I’m not a human until I’ve had my coffee.” When I saw this Ninja coffee maker on deal for Prime Day I had to grab it…the gorgeous copper and black match a lot of my other kitchen accessories and I couldn’t pass it up!! I’m really impressed with the quality of this coffee maker and the delicious coffee it brews for me. I highly recommend! French Press – I wasn’t kidding about the caffeine thing. I’ve never had a french press coffee maker before but it always seemed so fun and fancy to me! Since I was already buying a new coffee machine, I figured why not go all out and complete the collection with this adorable little guy! I wasn’t sure how I’d like using this since it’s a more intricate brewing process, but my goodness do I love it!! The coffee is outstanding and taking the time to brew the perfect cup really helps me slow down and appreciate the process! I love using this as a special treat on the weekends or even for an afternoon pick-me-up!

Jes – I’ll tell you that I did not have a wish list going into Prime Day – I was consumed with the excitement of finding and posting the deals and somehow I got wrapped up in a whirlwind of adding things to my own cart. By the end, I couldn’t even tell you what I had ordered, and it was like a surprise every time a package arrived haha! I ended up shopping for our pool, the house, the kids and a dash for myself! The snorkel googles were a must – my girls love swimming under water now, and they prefer the mask type over the regular one that just cover the eyes. The Aqua Water Hammock was for me and my hubby. The kids pretty much take over everything, so I wanted something for us to lounge on, and I love how many ways it can be used! The collapsible buckets have been sitting in my ‘save for later’ part of my Amazon cart for a looooong time, and I finally got a deal on Prime Day that I couldn’t pass up on. We will use them on our family vacay at the end of the month and I love the space saving feature! I had been posting all types of electric spin scrubbers, debating with myself and just going back and forth, so of course I couldn’t fight it anymore and snagged a great deal on one! Cupshe had a great Prime Deal on bathing suits, and I am always a solid black or black/white bathing suit gal, and I thought “let me add a bit of color this season.” They’ve always had great reviews so I finally snagged a one piece with tummy control suit and will debut it during vacay! Ohh…the favorite chenille style bags! I finally caved…I had intentions of grabbing all the options, but I was a bit late and most were out of stock, but I was able to snag two of them and can’t wait to utilize them on vacay and other outings! Sun Bum Kids products also had great deals, so I grabbed a couple things I knew we could use for the kiddos on our pool and beach days. Kristy’s photo of her eyelashes using the essence false lash effect mascara sold me, so I grabbed that, the primer, eye-makeup remover and two other water-proof mascaras as they are in my top 3 go-to beauty must-haves! Lastly, I am constantly doing the kids hair, and with three daughters, it’s never-ending! Kristy had raved about Hoyols elastic hair bands so I grabbed both the clear and colorful ones which will come in handy for all of the theme-days their school has all year! *Not pictured because they haven’t arrived yet are the Goli Apple Cider Vinegar Gummy Vitamins that I’ve been wanting to try out and mesh bags that we needed for our pool accessories and other things.

Krista – Nintendo Switch accessories were on her radar…additional controllers were needed so that they could play together as a family. Krista is old school and needed to feel the controller like back in the day iykyk, so she snagged a deal on holder cases for the switch controllers too. A good quality carpet cleaner was on her wish list too, and there was a Prime deal that she couldn’t resist. She is impressed with this particular one – she says that “it has a brain of its own and heats up and goes more powerful when it reads a dirty spot.” Last but not least, it’s the famous Essence Mascara again! Krista said, “Kristy’s pics made me want to try it and I like it!”

Kristy – I’ve had my eye on this ottoman for some time now and wanted a space I could kick my feet up or set down my laptop while I’m working in my planner. It’s perfect and both my kids fit on it! This diamond painting kit was the #1 purchase of Prime Day! I had grabbed it to take time out of my day to relax my mind away from social media! I’m told this was going to be an addiction! Lip sleep masks are a true obsession of mine – I cannot go to bed or wake up without throwing it on, especially after exfoliating. It’s a summer routine must have! I’ve been using this brow pencil for over 7 years now! I ran out and was fortunate enough to have this on Prime deal! If you’ve been in our group for a while, then you know my obsession with charcuterie boards – I’m ready to take my game to the next level with this charcuterie board styling book. The donation/gift closet is starting to load up! I always like having extra gifts for those pop-up birthday invites too! I snagged this Lite Brite set, Mickey game, and playfoam. Games and books are a must in my home! I always stock up during the Prime deals on these! Sorry and Clue were added to our collection of games. I’m still waiting for this self-esteem book and Christmas book to arrive. I still write in script, so my daughter always asks what I’m writing and was interested to learn herself – I couldn’t add this cursive activity book to my cart quick enough! My son is so into learning about everything, and I’m hoping these Smithsonian, DK, and National Geographic encyclopedias help! I have no idea what I’ll use this Elmer’s squishies activity kit for…maybe a party activity, rainy day activity, or the donation closet – I’m sure it’ll come in use though. My daughter is obsessed with Squishmallows and I was surprised to see they were featured this year on Prime Day! Her birthday and Christmas are coming up, so into the gift closet it goes. So many people that I’ve spoken to about these tonies have raved about them, so this was a no-brainer for my son for the Christmas closet stash! 

Fellicia – Not only did Fellicia have a wish list put together, but so did her hubby! He has his “man-cave” in mind, and she was able to snag a great deal on this JBL speaker for him. Awe! Such a nice wife isn’t she?!
