Before heading to the store, be sure to check the new ULTA Beauty Ad to find out what’s on sale this week.

ULTA Sales are constantly changing, and the only way to make sure you’re not missing out on a deal is to take a few minutes to review the ad before you shop.

You usually find a link to the current ULTA ad at ULTA.com.

In addition to checking the ads for the current sales, make sure you flip to the back page and grab your ULTA coupon!

Almost every ULTA ad I’ve ever seen has a clippable ULTA coupon you can take on into the store to save even more!

Common ULTA coupons I’ve seen for in store use will be for $3.50 off your $15.00 purchase.

Cha-ching!

Whether you find a screaming deal during the 21 Days of Beauty events, take advantage of ULTA daily deals, or just stumble across some other ULTA sales, it pays to stock up when the products you want are advertised at their lowest prices.

When you take advantage of a great ULTA sale and stock up, you’ll never get stuck paying full price!
