A reader named Rachel gave me a bargain tip that is so savvy! She buys cheap earrings from stores like H&M or Forever 21. Then she coats the earring hooks, which often get splotches, with clear nail polish so they stay shiny. This also protects your ears from the metal, which may irritate them.
She also buys higher quality hooks at craft stores like Michael’s and replaces the ones the earrings came with.
Past reader tips and stories include…
- I’m frustrated with coupons!
- Taking a train vacation from CA to D.C.
- Thrift store success story

Welcome to Bargain Babe! I’m Mara, and I’m so glad you’re here. I am an obsessive bargain hunter and penny pincher, and I am determined to live a full life without EVER paying full price.
I love the earrings. They remind me of a Pandora jewelry earrings I have at home. Gorgeous. Good call on the nail polish. I like to do the same thing!
Thanks!
