Smart Solutions for Busy Moms!
I have always taken loads of pictures, but with a new baby, I take even more :)
I love putting her photos into scrapbooks and memory albums, and my family and friends are always asking for new pictures of my little girl, I’m always looking for deals on prints.
This is a great deal for prints right now at York photo! You can get 100 prints for only 4 cents each, plus an another 40 for FREE! That means you’ll pay $4 bucks for 140 prints today. Sweet deal, so check it out!
I do!! But you already know that :) Here are a few great new resources to get high value coupons, so check ’em out:
Sign up on the Kellogg’s site to get $5-10 dollars in FREE Kellogg’s coupons! Signing up for companies mailing lists can get you a lot of free samples and coupons… Think of all of the brands that you’re family uses the most, do a quick search online for their site, and sign up! Most of them send you out random goodies from time to time.
BabyToBe is a great way to get freebies and coupons for baby stuff… Diapers, wipes, formula, toys… You KNOW when you have a baby on the way, you need coupons and samples!!
Coupons.com is another great way to get a ton of coupons… Check them out after you make your shopping list, and find coupons to match up!
I love CouponMom’s site! Check out CouponMom for daily emails with new coupons and savings… Plus, in every newsletter you get a chance to enter her $500 cash drawings! Love it.
GroceryCoupon Network had soooo many coupons to choose from, check them out!
I have been using Inbox Dollars for a few years now, and I LOVE it! There are many ways to earn money with them: surveys, videos, emails, etc. But you can also earn money by printing and redeeming coupons from their site. Sweet, right? Double savings!
MyPoints is similar to Inbox Dollars, except you get your rewards as gift cards, instead of checks. I do a lot of my online shopping through them, and earn a ton of points, so I have earned dozens of gift cards over the past year! And just like Inbox Dollars, you can earn rewards by printing and redeeming their coupons! Rocks my socks.
This last one is called Cellfire, and is one that I haven’t used personally yet, but it looks pretty cool. I usually only post deals and sites that I have used myself, to make sure I’m posting quality stuff… But I thought that maybe this one could be useful to you guys? Let me know if you try it out, and what you think of it!
And as always, if you have other awesome sites that you use, post them in the comments for everyone else to check out too!! Thanks guys…. :)
So, I’ll admit that signing up at PayBox.me is easy, but using it is a little bit confusing! They are a brand new company, and the idea is to be a service similar to PayPal, where you have money in your account that you use to pay for purchases and services online. But they are working on a bunch of cool features that would set them apart from PayPal, and make it cooler.
If you get signed up today, they give you a $25 credit just for getting started! Plus, every day that you stay active, they’ll add more credit to your account… I haven’t even used it too much, and I already have $65. But remember, right now, this is not cash, it’s PayBox currency. That means that it can only be spent through their system.
The reason that they’re giving you this free credit currency is to get people to go in and test things out, complete surveys, and give feedback, as they finish developing the system.
Soon, it should be ready to begin getting retailers signed up, so that you can “spend” your currency with them.
I figure, what the heck? There is really no loss here…. If it does work out to be a really great program, I have a bunch of credit to spend! If it doesn’t, I didn’t waste too much time with it :)
So check it out, sign up at PayBox.me today and get some credit built up!! Let me know what you think of it….
I just got an email today from Shutterfly, and if offers me the chance to send a coupon code for a FREE 8×8 Photo Book to 5 friends that are NEW customers to Shutterfly!!
I don’t know anyone that hasn’t used Shutterfly yet…. Since I’ve given out this type of coupon a couple of times before. So if any of you guys want to try out Shutterfly for FREE, leave a comment with your name and email address, and as soon as I get five comments, I’ll get your names submitted!! This has to be done by March 24, so if I don’t have five names by then, I’ll just submit the ones that are here! :)
Do you have kids? Then you probably also have loads of stuff that you don’t need anymore… Kids grow and change so fast. StorkBrokers is a brand new way to sell your outgrown and un-needed kids items… Check it out:
I just signed up as a seller, and opened up a shop. I haven’t listed any items yet, but it looks super easy to use. The idea is similar to ebay, but with a big difference:
“It’s a simpler way to find and sell the toys, clothes and accessories you and other parents are looking for — there’s no need to wade through unwanted kid-related content like you may on auction sites.”
I browsed around the site a bit, and there are some really great deals available. So even if you aren’t ready to set up your own shop, check it out to see if you can find a good price on something you need! Since this is a BRAND NEW site, the selection is a bit limited. But I found so much great stuff… A Fisher Price Swing & Glider that looks almost new, for only $25 bucks!! What?? I know, sweet deal, right?? :)
Check it out, and let me know what you think. After I set up some items for sale, I’ll update you guys, so you can check it out. And I’ll give you guys some feedback on how the process works as I use it more.
