Free Call from Santa!!

I'm really excited about this one--Dillons (remember them?? My FAVE grocery store EVER--no longer in the KC area. How rude!!) is offering up a free phone call from Santa, Sammy the Snowman, or race car driver Tony Stewart! All you have to do is sign up here (or just sign in if you already have an account)...you do have to have a Dillons card to do this, or sign up for one, though. You can select your character, date and time for the call.

I set mine up for tomorrow for Jack and I'm excited to see his face when he gets a call from the big jolly man, himself!!

Feeling Crafty???

Okay, I have a cute craft in the works for a 12-days of Christmas countdown thingy (kinda like an advent calendar, but I'm only gonna do 12 days on this one. Anyway, I guess I better get on it...I'm a chronic procrastinator, so who knows how long it will take me to get done. I'll post pics when I get it done ( if it turns out ;D ). But here's a cute idea to tide you over. Not sure I'll make one of these this year...too many irons in the fire. But, I'll keep it in my back pocket for next year!!

Get Your FREE 8x10 Canvas!!

Have you heard of this?? The Canvas People are offering a FREE 8x10 photo canvas; just pay shipping. Or, you can receive $55 off any size you choose (the 11x11 is just $4 more!). It is super-easy to order. Just go here, upload your photo, choose size, frame, special effects, and then all your shipping/billing info. Now, shipping was a little pricey--I paid $14.95 for my 8x10. I thought about bumping it up to an 11x11, but that also bumps your shipping to $17.95 so I just stuck with "free." I got this one for myself: But it seems to me that this would make a pretty great Christmas present for someone on your list!!!

More Deals for Vickies!!!

If you are a member of the Pink Nation, then you probably received a mailer in your snail-mail-box a week or so ago good for a FREE VS panty (NO purchase necessary, AND $10 off any bra). I love those coupons. I used to let them go to waste if I wasn't in need of a pricey bra. These days I have no shame in walking in, selecting my FREE underwear with NO purchase. Hey--that's what the coupon offers! And I'm not passing up a FREE pair of good underwear!!

Well, if you didn't receive that mailer, then you are in luck. Now you can print this coupon to receive a free pair of VS panties with ANY purchase (not quite as good as NO purchase, but remember: ANY purchase means no minimum. So scout around the store for a lotion or something small on clearance to score your best deal.)

PLUS ~ don't forget about their promo that's running through November 30th in store and online: the Mystery Rewards Card promo. For every purchase you make of $10 or more, you'll receive back a VS gift card quaranteed to be worth $10...but should you be especially lucky, you may walk out with a card worth up to $500!!! You won't know until the gift card redemption period of December 1-24. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me. But remember, to get your bonus gift card, you must make a purchase of $10 or more.

Remember they have all kids of items fit for gifting to those younger family members you may have on your holiday gift list. They have great lotions and fragrance sets, and usually have some great robes and cozy stuff. So see if you can cross someone off the holiday "to buy" list while you are at it! Happy shopping!!

Taste of Home $5 Cookbooks are Back!!

Yeah!! I'm so excited about this deal!! Taste of Home offered their hardback cookbooks for just $5 this past summer. Now, just in time for the holidays, they are clearing out the warehouse again!! Know anyone that loves to cook?? How great would a couple of these cookbooks be as a gift, all tied up with ribbon with a cooking utensil attached?? Great for a hostess gift, too, for all those holiday parties!

So go here to snag yours--there are 28 to choose from at just $5 each! AND, here are some codes to save you even more:
code 1026 -- score $1 shipping on ANY order
code LST02 -- FREE shipping when you buy 4 books

More Savings at Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy...

Yippie!! I missed out on the GAP savings through last Sunday, so I'm happy to see that there is another opportunity to save!!! GAP is hosting their annual Give & Get program again, where you can pick a charity to benefit, and in return you get a 30% savings coupon. I pulled this from KCPennyPinchinMama's site, so this coupon has already been registered (therefor, you cannot pick a charity). But, you can certainly print the coupon and save 30% at GAP, Banana Republic, or Old Navy (in-store only) November 12-15. Yeah!! Oh--what's even better: this is also valid at GAP outlet and BR Factory Store!

Hasbro Toy Rebate -- Save $60!!

Hmmm...I don't know about you, but I've been doing some price-matching around town to get the best deals on toys and such. I just got Cootie and Hi-Ho! Cherry-O for $3.99 at Walmart (PM to KMarts price last week), so this Hasbro rebate will come in handy! I can get $2 back for EACH of these games, making them only $1.99 each!! Sweet!!

You can make the deals even better by shopping at Toys 'R Us this week, because they have a Hasbro toy promo right now Buy $25, get a $10 TRU Gift Card! KCPennyPinchinMama has some deal scenarios for you here. Check 'em out!

More Toy Deals!!!

Okay, I was told by a friend that this Uno Moo! game is super cute. I've not yet seen it in the stores, and from researching it online, I've found that it's out of stock at both Toys 'R Us and Target online. BUT--KCPennyPinchin'Mama posted a Rocky the Robot truck deal at Mattel.com (something that's definitely on my Christmas list), so I checked it out and found that you can get the Uno game through Mattel for cheap with a coupon code, too!! So here's a recap of both deals available right now:

First, you gotta sign up/sign in at Shop at Home. If you aren't familiar with the site, check out my post here. Search for Mattel, and click "shop now," so that you'll earn 3% cash back on your purchase. This will take you directly to the Mattel site. Now on to the deals:

Rocky the Robot truck is priced at $59.99. Normall I would say this is no great deal since it is priced at Walmart right now for $49.99. BUT, the magic comes with the coupon code. Not to mention this toy ships FREE!!

Uno Moo! is another toy that ships FREE!!! This is priced at $20.99. (When searching online I found that Target has it priced the same, but is out of stock; Walmart has it for $19.88, and Toys 'R Us has it priced at just $14.99, but also out of stock). Anyway, the deal comes with the coupon code.

Use code MATTEL30 when you check out to get 30% off your total purchase!! So, shop around the site and see what else you need off your list that could possibly ship free too!! 30% off ain't bad!!! I was able to add Rocky and Uno Moo! to my cart for a grand total of $56.69 SHIPPED! And the best part is that I didn't even have to leave my house!! Who needs Santa's sleigh when you got UPS?!?

Oh--and don't forget the 3% cash back I'll earn from Shop At Home, an additional $1.70 savings. Nothing to sneeze at!

Another Kodak $15 Credit!!!

I'm pleased to let you know that the Kodak $15 photo gift is available yet again!!! This promo ran last month and I was able to score a framed 5x7 of my adorable little monkey for just $3!! Hey--that's worth it to me to get the frame with the picture already in it (cuz I'm the girl who buys a new frame and never really gets around to actually putting a picture in it!!)

Details: They are giving away another 100,000 $15 gift codes that you can then use one ANY purchase on the Kodak Gallery website! Click the image above to get started (you gotta be among the first 100,000 to sign up!!). Make sure you click the box allowing them to contact you with future promos in order to receive this gift. Lemme know what you score with your freebie....I'm thinkin' you could certainly find something Christmas-gift worthy!!

Bounce Back Racer Over Half Off!!

I haven't seen this deal on other posts and thought I'd highlight it here. I've had my eye on this Tonka/Playskool Bounce Back Racer for a while now. It's usually priced somewhere around $29.99; online list price at Target for $33.99. Right now it's on sale for $24.99 at KMart. And Target just happens to have a coupon out right now for this toy. Get where I'm going here??

Please leave a comment if there are some you are aware of that I don't have listed here. Remember: to get the best deals, make the most of Price Matching (now available at Walmart AND Target) and stacking manufacturer and store coupons (think Target!). Some of the best deals can be had by taking a store flyer into Target, getting the competitor store's price, less a mfr coupons, less the Target coupon!!

Happy shopping!!!

Yeah!!! Target Printable Toy Coupons !!!

Okay, Halloween is over, Christmas music is on the radio waves, and my Christmas list ain't gettin' any shorter. Time to dig in and get that shopping done. If you are like me, then you haven't been able to find the Target toy book in store. Remember this book/catalog from last year?? It was chalk full of COUPONS!!! OH--And might I remind you that these are TARGET coupons, and can ABSOLUTELY be stacked with manufacturer coupons. Yeah!!

Well, who needs the in-store copy when you can print the ones you want straight from your computer. Head on over here to see the entire list. I'll keep my thinking cap on and eyes peeled for some great coupon match-ups. Right off the top of my head I'm thinking the $4 Hasbro Hungry Hippo Q everyone has been using for the travel game could be stacked with the $5 Hasbro TQ to score a VERY inexpensive Giraffalaff Limbo game... And what about the Tag Reading system...Toys 'R Us has it priced at $39.99 (in their "Biggest Big Book EVER"). Price Match, use the $10 TQ and the $10 Tag printable, and score yourself a Tag system for just $19.99!! I'm headed to Target for this one for sure!!

I'll keep you posted!!

I'll keep you posted as I

American Eagle Deals

Hmm...this seems like a pretty good deal for anyone in the market for some American Eagle clothes (think Christmas presents!!). Stack these deals to maximize your savings:

• get 20% off your entire order by using coupon code 23876456.
  
• Also, buy any pair of jeans (even clearance!), get 50% off any hoodie or graphic tee (even clearance!!)
• And, buy any pair of shoes (even clearance!) or 77kids item (access using tab in upper left corner), you'll get FREE shipping.

I tried this out. I was able to throw a pair of women's clearance jeans, a clearance graphic tee, and girls clearance headband (77kids) in my shopping bag with a grand total of $23.10, SHIPPED! That seems pretty good to me!! Check it out!

Score Some Holiday Adress Labels for Shipping Only!!

Okay, this is a deal worth doing (well, in my opinion)! I know we probably all have a bajillion return address labels from the miscellaneous organizations that send them out with a request for donations. But for the holidays, if you are like me, these just won't do. A gorg Christmas card requires an equally brilliant address label. And now, we can get those labels for next-to-nothing! Yeah!!

Vistaprint is offering up a FREE (originally $7.99) set of 140 labels, all you pay is shipping (starts around $3). I am sad you can't see the image above better--I tried to make it bigger but it just got fuzzy. That's the one I created; and paid $3.06 for shipping! I was super-pleased to see that they offer PayPal as a payment option. I have over $40 in my PP account from selling awesome clearance finds at CVS on Ebay, making mad profit! So, these labels were no money out of pocket for me. Yeah!!

To make your own, head on over to VistaPrint. Under the "Home & Family" category on the left-hand side, click "Holiday." You'll then choose "labels" and you'll be prompted to start creating. I had fun making my own label...there are tons of options to make the caricatures really look like you family member (even the dog!!). But there are several different designs to choose from, from generic holiday-themed labels to personalized labels with a picture of your choice!!

When checking out, they'll try to sell you on a bunch of add-ons. Just be careful what you click and make sure you review your order well so you don't end up with any extra charges. Mine went great and was pretty easy to do. So I hope you find this to be a great deal as well!!

World Market FREE Tote!

If you know me at all, you know I have a slight obsession with totes. I like bags of all kinds. I have many, many a bag at home. Most of which sit in a closet. Who really needs 100 bags of various sizes?? But, here's just another that is giving me bag-fever: World Market is offering up this cute reusable tote for FREE with any $10 purchase. If you aren't familiar with World Market, I can tell you A. They ROCK!! and B. I wish I had one closer to me!! They have tons of rare wines and candies from all over the world. They have wonderful decor for your home and awesome stocking stuffers...remember--we are in holiday mode here! Go check em out--store finder here. And get your free bag...while supplies last!
