{May 9} How I Got These Freebies

Want to know how I got THESE freebies?

Since everyone always wants to know, “How do you GET all of this stuff?!”, I’m going to start posting a picture of the new freebies in my mail, and tell you how I got them! That should help some of the “Freebie Newbies” learn some great tips to get started!

How I Got Today’s Freebies:

Shipping Packages: Go over to the Priority Mail site from the U.S. Post Office to request this free shipping kit. You can then pay for and print shipping labels right from home, and even schedule free pick ups! So helpful if you’re a blogger with giveaways, an Etsy or Ebay seller, or even if you send lots of gifts. Super excited to get these… Will help me get giveaway prizes out MUCH quicker!
Magazines: I get almost all of my magazines for FREE. The site I use most often is TradePub. It’s mostly web and business magazines, but when you sign up, they’ll notify you of other good ones like Woman’s Day or Cosmo. Love it.
Aveeno: I got this sample from an offer I found a few weeks ago on MySavings. The deals will be different now because they update with new stuff every day, but check them out: Free Samples.
Free Catalogs: I get all of my free catalogs from Catalogs.com. Sometimes they even give you a coupon code to use when you’re requesting the catalog!
Aveeda: Found a link to sign up for the Aveeda newsletter on FreeFlys a month or so ago, and they sent me this as a birthday gift… A coupon for a FREE full size product, up to a $24.95 value!! Woo hoo, right? They are another site where the deals change all the time, so sign up for their newsletter!
Coupon Extravaganza: Woooooaaaahhhh!!! Seriously, I cannot BELIEVE how many coupons she was able to fit into this little package!! I won a prize in a referral contest from Dinosaurs & Dandelions on Facebook, and my prize was a package of coupons. I had no idea just how darn amazing this package would be!

Check it out:

This prize TOTALLY rocks my socks. I love to refer to pages I like, and do it all the time just because. So I wasn’t even trying to win, just wanted to show some love and help her out. To win such a generous prize is pretty cool :)

So… Those are todays freebies! Have you gotten any good freebies in the mail lately? If so, share in the comments! Everyone loves to learn some new tips!

{I think I’ll share a bunch of pictures later of some of the great freebies I’ve gotten from them lately}….

Right now, you can get another new FREE item, a free personalized T-Shirt!

There are so many fun ways you could use this:

Put your blog logo on it and give it away to a fan!
Or… Keep it for yourself, and walk around giving yourself free advertising. (Shameless promotion, yes. So what? Lol)
Put a picture of the kiddo’s on it to give to the grandparents.
Add a picture of Daddy, and have it say something like, “Worlds Bestest Super Duper Dad” or something, for Father’s Day.
Put a picture of a new graduate on it, with a congratulations message!

Lots of fun stuff you could do. I’ve used these for gifts a few times, and they always get a big smile! Here’s a bit of detail:

1 FREE Customized T-Shirt! Choose from a variety of designs and add your own text to make your design unique! The T-Shirts are made of 100% Pre-Shrunk cotton and are available in sizes from S to XXL The T-Shirt is FREE, just pay for Shipping and Processing! Click Here to get started!

And, I haven’t checked yet, but usually they have a deal where if you spend $30 or $40 bucks, you can get FREE shipping too. There are so many free deals right now, plus tons of 50% off prices, so you can stock up on a TON of cool stuff really cheap.

These really are great T-Shirts, and the image and letters wash up well too.

Code for FREE Suze Orman Subscription

Right now you can get a FREE newsletter subscription to the Suze Orman Money Navigator Newsletter! Enter the code MOMSMONEY in the gift code box to get this subscription for free… It’s normally a $63 value!

This is a special deal for Mother’s Day, but it still worked for me today. I don’t know how long it will last though, so go check it out!

Read a little more about how amazing this chick is:

Orman is the contributing editor to “O” The Oprah Magazine, the Costco Connection Magazine and for the last ten years host of the award winning Suze Orman Show, which airs every Saturday night on CNBC. Over her television career Suze has accomplished that which no other television personality ever has before. Not only is she the single most successful fundraiser in the history of Public Television, but she has also garnered an unprecedented seven Gracie awards, more than anyone in the 35-year history of this prestigious award. The Gracies recognize the nation’s best radio, television, and cable programming for, by, and about women.

Love her advice pages in Oprah’s “O” magazine, I’ve learned some good tips from her over the years.

Most of us realize the importance of clipping coupons, getting freebies, and searching for sales, just to help our families save money. But we need to learn how to invest and manage our money too, to save smartly for our families future.

{Moms Rock!} Mother’s Day Freebie List

Happy Mother’s Day!

This is my first real Mother’s Day, although I did celebrate last year… I was about 6 months pregnant, and could feel that little girl kicking my tummy all day, and so I really did feel like a mommy. But I am pretty excited for my first Mother’s Day spent with my daughter…

This picture is a few months old, she is MUCH bigger than this now!! But I don’t have any new pictures of us, since my camera broke a while back. As soon as I learn how to download pics from my NEW camera into my computer, I can finally have new “Mommy & Me” pictures to share.

So, in honor of Mother’s Day, here are some freebies just for moms!!

The {Moms Rock} Freebie List:

Baby to Bee is an excellent site for new moms! You can find tons of coupons and samples, as well as a really helpful community to get answers to all of your questions. I’m a big fan.

Woman Freebies is a GREAT resource of coupons and free samples that are chosen JUST for women. Sign up to get one notice each day with a roundup of new free stuff.

Zuilily offers the VERY best selection of brands and products of any of these type of deal sites. I love getting their email, and seeing the amazing stuff that they have found. This is the only way I can afford this type of designer stuff! All sales are on merchandise just for mom, babies, or kids.

Vistaprint rocks my socks, no lie. I’ve ordered SOOOO much stuff from them, and have always been really happy with the quality. These Mommy Cards are such a fun idea! You can give them to new babysitters, teachers, other parents… Anyone that you want to have your contact info. Love it.

Are you a crafty momma? If so, join me in entering to WIN this Cricut Expression 2. I want one of these sooo bad…. *fingers crossed*

Planning Family is another favorite of mine, and is a super great resource for baby coupons and freebies! Plus, their weekly emails are full of tons of great tips and ideas too. You get a new email each week with an update on your babies development. I love these.

Use coupon code YMW4CP to get 40 FREE prints at York Photo, just for you!!

And a few more:

Power Pill Extreme Energy: Get a sample of their new energy product… I know all of us momma’s could use THIS stuff, lol. Click Here.
Garnier Fructis: This one is kinda funny, and seems to give a different sample option for each person! Should get you some type of shampoo, and then after you enter “female” you may get options for more beauty products! Click Here.
Free Nail Polish: Just text the word SUMMER to shortcode 467467. You must be 18 years or older to participate. If you’ve never used ShopText before, it’ll make you answer a few questions first. They’re legit, I’ve used them before… no weird charges or anything :) Sponsored by Cosmopolitan.
Tire Gel: Get another texting freebie… FREE Meguiar’s Tire Gel Sample by doing the following: Text TIRE3 to 44567! Maybe momma wants shiny tires, right?
Free Money for Mom: Get $5 FREE when you sign up at Ebates today, and ANOTHER free $5 when you sign up and start your profile at Inbox Dollars too! Both companies I use and love.
FREE Products and Cash: My very most favorite-ist survey site is taking new members right now… If you are a busy mom with not a lot of time to devote to these survey sites, then trust me, Synovate is the one to go with! You get FREE full size products to test {lately I’ve gotten to test salad dressing, plug-in freshners, styling products and more} and then you get reward points when you give your opinion on them! Those points can then be redeemed for cash! And you earn rewards pretty fast too.

I’ll post more too, as I find them! But I wanted to get at least one big post out for you ladies right now! I hope you all have a really wonderful day, and get to enjoy your families! Happy Mother’s Day!
