{WOW!!} Macy’s Savings: Sales, Coupons and Rebates!!!

This is a BIG one!!

I used to work at Macy’s, for about 6 years, back in my early 20’s. I loved it – and I do miss retail sometimes. The holidays were such a crazy-busy time, but I thrive on being busy! And I loved the holiday decorations, the fun new products, and of course – the amazing deals to be found this time of year! When you work there, you get the inside scoop on the best savings – but today, so do you! For the next 6 weeks, I’ll be bringing you guys the very best sales and deals for Holiday shopping, combined with all the trimmings – printable shopping coupons and online shopping codes, rebates, cash back, and more! Excited? Of course you are! So let’s get to today’s great savings…

Shopping In-Store?

Then print out this Macy’s Savings Pass coupon, to get an additional 15% off on your purchase! My advice? Check out the deals online, and do the majority of your shopping that way – since the stores get SO busy this time of year that they run out of stock really quickly in most of the hot ticket sale items. Order them online, get free shipping, and let them arrive right at your door – easy peasy.

How I Taught My Baby to Sign – Deal on Kit to Help YOU Learn too!

Baby Signs Potty Training Kit For Half Off!

We’ve been using the Baby Signing Time videos since Abby was about 4 months old – {I was super lucky to find a huge boxed set on Zulily and got them at a great price} – and I am completely amazed at how much she has learned. She’s 15 months now, and knows about 30 signs already. That means she can tell us if she is hungry, thirsty, tired, or wants to play. She tells us when she wants her shoes or coat, knows how to ask for her bear or her dolly, and can sign mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa. It’s really kind of incredible – I didn’t realize it was possible for her to learn such a big signing vocabulary – and to really know what the words mean too! When she runs out of snacks, she can sign “More Crackers Please.” Best investment I ever made was buying the video set.

Great Deal Today –

This set is from a different company than we’ve been using, but I hear great things about them too. Baby Signs put together this full Potty Training Kit, with everything that you need to encourage baby to learn to use the potty, making training easy and fun. I’m so excited to get this for Abby! Even if your little one hasn’t been doing any signing yet, trust me, you will be absolutely amazed at how quickly they pick it up and start using it. And it’s so wonderful for your baby to be able to communicate what they want, and really helps cut down on their frustration and tantrums.

What’s included in the kit:

Parent Guide– This straightforward guide from trusted child development experts will help you confidently lead your baby to potty success.
All Aboard the Potty Train DVD– With its catchy tunes, delightful animation and real kids, this exciting DVD will teach your baby five potty-time signs and reinforce each step of the potty routine.
All Aboard the Potty Train Lift-the-Flap Book– Your baby will love discovering the potty-time signs hidden under each flap in this fun and interactive board book featuring the DiaperDoodles”.
Job Well Done! Stickers– These colorful reward stickers feature fun images and positive messages such as “Good Job” and “I’m on the Potty Train!”
All Aboard the Potty Train Conductor’s Whistle– Whether to signal it’s time to go potty or to “sound the trumpet of success,” this fun-to-blow whistle will put a smile on your baby’s face when it’s potty time. (For adult use only. Whistle poses a choking hazard for very young children.)

Limited Time Deal:

This awesome deal on the DVD Kit is only valid until November 4th!

Buy Baby Signs Potty Training Kit for HALF OFF today!

I’m going to put together a video soon, to show you Abby doing her Baby Signing Time flash cards, so you can see that little one’s really can pick up signs at a really fast pace! Signing helps build vocabulary skills at a super young age, helps baby to communicate better, and can help them start talking earlier. Plus, honestly – I think it’s so much fun! I’ve picked up so many signs, and it’s become a habit to sign things like Please and Thank You. I really think that YOUR family will love it too!
