I can totally believe it.. and it sucks...
I stopped in there the week before last, to pick up several things, I was going to stock up... and WOW talk about sticker shock. For the prices they were charging, I could have bought my shampoo and conditioner at the salon, at least if I buy them at the hair salon, they always give you a bunch of freebie's along with your purchase. I have a couple nice mini makeup bags, and some really nice refillable travel bottles, that they have given as incentive to purchase products there, and a ton of trial size's.
The associate at Ulta mentioned that this sale was happening, so I thought I would wait.. Now I guess... maybe not so much. I have a hair appointment this week, so I will have to check it out.
As well the Neutrogena products that I use have gone way up in price, I went over to Target and bought what I needed for a lot less, and I had some coupons to use which helped out alot. My Ulta use to take coupons, and now the manager said they aren't doing at her store anymore. As well my BJ's started carrying some Neutrogena products which I got lucky and scored 2 of the things that I use, and the price was really great, and they took my coupons, plus one of the items had a BJ's coupon and they let me stack them... Woo HOO!
