Is anyone else feeling those weekend vibes?! I love this bag (linked below) and this is my favorite mirror EVER!
This is the Anthropologie Gleaming Primrose mirror (linked below). I own it in the 3 ft version, but it also comes in 5 ft and 7 ft sizes as well. It is a gorgeous antique style and makes a huge statement! My favorite is the gold, but it also comes in silver and black for a more modern look ☺

The way to save the MOST is to make a trip to the Anthropologie Final Cut Warehouse Sale in Indiana, PA. Is this your first time realizing there was a town called Indiana in Pennsylvania? Mine too. This is the perfect spot for Anthropologie furniture lovers, as their discounts are STEEP. I’ve read of people scoring BIG and finding the 7 ft mirror for $350 (instead of $1,548)! They are only open once a month for big warehouse sales and get super crowded, so give them a follow at @indianafinalcut and watch out for updates and photos. And if you go, PLEASE send me pictures and let me know what deals you find ☺
The next way is to check out the Final Cut store in Augusta, GA. I used to live in Atlanta so I would visit this store when I was in need for a new piece of furniture! This store also has clothes, but make sure you have patience to look through MANY boxes. The deals aren’t quite as good as the warehouse sale above, but you will still save a lot of money! I bought the 3 ft mirror for about $150 (regularly $498). Check them out at @finalcutgeorgia!
Another great option is to check out the only Anthropologie Outlet Store in Pittsburgh, PA. If you live in western PA, you are a lucky gal because you can visit this store as well as the warehouse sale! This is more expensive than the Warehouse Sale and the Georgia Final Cut because it’s actually officially tied to Anthropologie (unlike the other two options), and they don’t have as many damaged items (even though the returns and damaged items at Final Cut are BARELY noticeable for the most part). They run a lot of sales and it is a BEAUTIFUL store! Follow them at @anthro_homeoutlet!
If you don’t live in Georgia or Pennsylvania (or don’t want to make a long road trip), the best option I’ve found is buying directly through Anthropologie during a sale. Their best sale that includes the mirror is usually on Black Friday/Cyber Monday (in the past it has been 30% off), which is huge! If you are an AnthroPerks member, you will receive a birthday coupon for 20% off. Lastly, buying the mirror in store saves you on shipping ($99 for white glove delivery instead of $150), and every little bit helps!
If you’re thinking “who the heck would spend this much on a mirror”, I FEEL you. I’ve searched high and low for Gleaming Primrose mirror dupes and there really aren’t many look-alikes at a substantially lower price.
The closest version for less that I’ve found is this Arhaus mirror. Beautiful, right?! For the 7 ft version, it retails at $1,498, which is almost the same price as the Gleaming Primrose. However, there are SO many great mirrors out there. I’ve linked some below that are beautiful and timeless and much easier on the wallet! Also, note that 7 feet is REALLY big and weighs over 200 pounds. If you can’t live without this mirror but also can’t justify the price, consider getting the 3 ft. or 5 ft. mirror to get the look for less!
I really hope these tips help you score big at Anthropologie, and send me any tips or photos of deals you’ve found! Pretty please ☺

A savings-savvy shopper has gone viral after sharing her eight must-know tips to help Brits save up to £30 on their weekly food shop.
Super saver Kat, from Manchester, is no stranger to finding a good bargain with over 917,000 likes and 33,000 followers looking to her for advice. In one of her latest videos, the 27-year-old shares hacks for how she saves money when browsing the aisles. And while Kat - who buys the food for herself and her 29-year-old boyfriend - is a big fan of Tesco, her easy-to-follow advice can be applied to any of Britain's supermarkets.

Speaking to Needtoknow, Kate revealed: “When I actively use all of these tips I notice my weekly shop is at least £30 cheaper than when I didn't use it. “[I first started using them] probably over the last year, since food inflation has risen so drastically I've made more of a conscious effort to save money on food."
“My usual go-to shop is Tesco as I find it to actually be the cheapest but still good quality. [But] shop around if you live somewhere with multiple shops close together, as Aldi isn't always the cheapest for everything and Waitrose isn't always the most expensive. Surprisingly even M&S food does cheaper products than Aldi sometimes", she continued.

Her handy eight tips are easy to apply – including hacks such as using new tech to scan products to why it’s better to go for loose fruit and veg.
According to the content creator, using a scan-and-go at your local supermarket makes it easier to stick to your budget – and you can see how much money you’re spending during the shop, to avoid going ‘off list’. Kat said: “You can also remove items at any time if you notice you're spending too much.”

Perhaps the most simple hack is to make a shopping list and avoid impulse shopping trips. While it may sound a tad basic, Kat says it is a key step to not overspending. Kat said: “Writing a list means you're more likely to not impulse buy because you know exactly what you need... once you have your list you just need to stick to it.”
We’re all guilty of buying a huge multi-pack of fruit or veg and not using half of the stuff because it goes bad before we do. Kat recommends ditching the bulk buys altogether – which can also be cheaper, depending on where you shop. She said: “I've bought one onion for about 5p before, it's great if you know you only need one or two of a product rather than buying a whole packet and some going to waste.”

A lot of supermarkets are price matching – keep your eye out for popular products that you can get for lower costs. Kat says “The Tesco and Sainsbury's Aldi price match means [you’re] getting cheap Aldi prices for Tesco or Sainsbury's quality. “Tesco have around 500 products on the Aldi price match.”
Always look at the reduced aisle before you leave the supermarket – you might notice the items on your shopping list there. But beware of bagging too many bargains. Kat said: “You could find something to base a meal around for that day, but don't be tempted to impulse buy from the reduced to clear section just because it's cheap!”
With regular offers and deals you can collect points that all add up to save you money. Download apps for all supermarkets that you use, where applicable, so you don’t miss out on offers.
Kat said: "Getting the app for every shop is also a good idea because it often tells you about offers that day and some of them give out coupons for you based on your own spending habits. This is probably the easiest way to save money in the supermarket.”

While buying a multi-pack of fruit or veg isn’t always the best idea, it can sometimes out cheaper if you’re buying food for many people, hosting a party or use one particular product – that has a long shelf-life – regularly, such as tea. Kat says: “This is great to save money on things that don't go out of date quickly but you use a lot of, such as tea bags.getting a huge box often is better value for money than buying the smallest box.”
Supermarket own brand items can sometimes be better than top brands and cost less, too. Kat said: “Own brand is always cheaper than branded and sometimes it actually tastes better. “I'd suggest at least trying the own brand version of some things because you might find you like it better than branded.”
