Besides prepping for Halloween, October has the distinction of being Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Last year I blogged about Shopping For a Cure, talking a bit about my own family's experience with the disease. I also pointed out some of the great fund-raising products a number of merchants had jumped on board with in order to raise money for various breast cancer awareness programs. I'm ecstatic to see that the number of merchants joining in the battle has grown exponentially this year! Just about everybody has some pink product for sale on their site to help raise some funds (and some awareness). So I'll spotlight a few here and just keep posting more and more as the month goes by.
Please show your support and help fight this awful disease that could affect someone very close to your heart.

The Clinique lotion looks very tempting, but I'm not sure if I want to pay $35 for it.
You know, I just read this post yesterday, and I somehow missed the bracelet from Zales! Was it here yesterday? That's even more tempting than the lotion!
@Tish - Heh. I could lie and say you totally missed it, but that's not me.
I added a bunch more offers to the post yesterday. I figured I'll just keep adding new ones as I find them. Maybe you should get the lotion AND the bracelet!
Andrew, I'd love to do just that, but it would go against everything Dave Ramsey has been telling me to do!
I want to buy a bunch of the breast cancer bracelets that payless sells for my Ambassador group? Our advisors sister has very recently passed away from breast cancer and I want us all to wear one, to show that we are there for him. How do I go about buying a whole bunch of them, especially because a payless is no where close to where I am?? Does any one know?
I like the bracelet - very pretty!
@Amy - I would call the company and ask them. According to the website you can reach Payless Customer Service here: 1-877-474-6379 (Toll-free in U.S. and Canada). Good luck!
@Marilyn - It is, isn't it? Thanks for stopping by!
Did anyone try the avon clogs? Wonder if they run true to size.
