April 16th - Have you been watching American Idol? It’s getting pretty intense. I often think Simon’s a bit harsh, but – I hate to admit it – he’s often right on the money with his predictions. Yes, he can be a little less vicious, but come on, deep down inside you look forward to his opinion. I know I do. Anyways, it’s about that time, my friends. Let’s get to our fun history lesson with a dose of savings, shall we?

1987 – Michael Jordan Becomes 2nd NBA Player to Score 3000 Points in a Season – Ever wonder why he looked so alive on the court? I’m thinking it was his undergarments…What? They have a lot to do with athletic performance! Why else would he be the face you see on Hanes commercials if he doesn’t love the product? Get the most comfortable, tagless and long-lasting undergarments from Hanes.com for 10% off. And since Jordan’s such a legend, take advantage of discounts at the NBAStore – save 15% on your entire order!

Famous Birthday

Jon Cryer, 43 – He plays Alan on Two and a Half Men with Charlie Sheen (who’s Alan’s brother Charlie on the show). There isn’t a moment when you’re not smiling, giggling, hysterically laughing, or gasping for air – it’s that hilarious. Poor Alan is often made fun of for his crisp, clean and terribly neat wardrobe. If you know someone like Alan, the best thing to do is take them over to CharlesTyrwhitt for men’s casual and sophisticated outfits with 40% off everything!

National Stress Awareness Day – Are you in stress denial? Working long hours, cleaning up a messy house, taking care of the kids and other tiring (daily) tasks are sure to do a number on anyone. You can’t be a superstar forever – especially if you don’t take the time to pamper yourself. Opt for a Home Beauty Spa kit from BuyBeauty to refresh and rejuvenate yourself. Everything at BuyBeauty is 10% off, so you won’t have to stress about the cost, either.

Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day - Remember how nice it was as a kid to roll out of bed and go to school as is for Wear Your Pajamas to School Day? I loved it. So it’s pretty fitting that we’re supposed to acknowledge our stress today and then relax by wearing our pajamas to work. Avoid the lingerie and opt for cozy pjs from Hanes. Use your FabulousSavings coupon to get 10% off all Hanes pajamas & sleepwear!
