Don’t Know How to Back-Up Your Photos? Check Out an Easy Solution!

Photos are precious…

I love photography. I love looking through old photo albums, I always make photo-art gifts at the holidays, and photos are a big part of my home decor. {The photo above is the one I just used to make my most recent Photo Canvas Print… I’m so excited to get this one.}

Since photos are so important to me, I have worried about what would happen to the 1,000’s of priceless family photos in my computer if it crashed. I know that I can burn them to a disk, but I don’t want to be doing that all the time. I take a ton of photo’s, so I need something that can automatically update when I add new stuff.

I found a company that I really like:

Carbonite makes it super simple to back everything up. It seriously is simple to use, and gives me a ton of piece of mind, knowing that everything is stored safely now.

Here are some cool features:

It backs up all of your files: photos, documents, music, and whatever else you have that you don’t want to lose.
It only takes a few minutes to install, and it’s easy to understand.
It works automatically, and updates often, to keep your stuff stored safely offsite. And you get unlimited storage— Some sites only allow you to store a set amount.
You can get your backed up files from another computer OR even from your phone! Cool, right?
And, you can try it for FREE!

You can check it out here:

Join Carbonite: for a quick set up. It’s totally free to try it out for the first 2 weeks {15 days to be exact}. You don’t have to enter a credit card or anything scammy- It’s really free. Then, if you like it, I found a code to get 2 more months FREE: Use code EASY to get 2 months free with any sign up.

The price, if you want to keep using them, is only $59 for the WHOLE year, which is like $5 a month- Totally affordable. Plus the code above gets you 2 months free. They’re really highly rated by the Better Business Bureau, AND you even get FREE phone support whenever you need it. And they’re Ranked #9 on the Inc. 500 list of America’s fastest-growing companies. {Yep, I did my research before signing up :)}

I just signed up, but it totally looks like the program that I’ll be sticking with! If you’ve been looking for an easy way to back-up all of your files, check it out too!

Learn How to Save 75% off Household Products- Without Clipping Coupons!

Have you heard of Yaysave Yet?

I kind of consider myself the master of freebies and deals, {check out my profile on Cheap Sally to vote for me as a savings-master…} and am always shocked to learn that there is something that I DON’T know about yet!! {Lol, but only kind of…} So of course I was surprised to learn about Yaysave yesterday— It is amazing, and I don’t know how I didn’t hear about this sooner!

Yaysave Basics:

Here are the main points you need to know about why Yaysave rocks my socks-

Yaysave helps you save on your “everyday” type of items. Prices up to 75% less than Amazon, Walmart, Soap.com, Drugstore.com, and Alice.com. And since you KNOW that those sites have awesome deals, you realize quickly how great the prices are at Yaysave.
They show you right on the site how the prices compare to other sites, so you can be sure you’re getting a great deal. Example: Luv’s Diapers, $7.99, 37% less than Diapers.com.
They are PayPal certified, so you know that your information is safe.
They have two great ways to use their service, depending on your needs- You can upgrade to the paid membership {SOOO worth it, and that’s what I did} or get a basic membership for FREE!!

Difference between the Memberships:

The basic free account is great if you just want to try out the site, but I could tell right away that I’ll be using this a TON, so I wasted NO TIME in upgrading to the Premium Membership.
Usually the Premium Membership is $29.99 per year, but right now {and I have NO idea how long it will last} it’s only $19.99 to join.

Here’s what you get:

All accounts get FREE Shipping on orders $100 bucks or more. PREMIUM Members get FREE Shipping on ALL purchases.
Everyone saves on products- 10-70% off other sites prices. But the PREMIUM Membership gets you an additional 2-15% off on many products, on top of the low prices, as a bonus.
Everyone gets their products shipped in 1-2 days. But the PREMIUM Members get it shipped FREE every time.
AND… One of the coolest parts- Yaysave has partnered with another great frugal-freebie site, so you get 500 BONUS FREE Swagbucks when you join as a premium member!! Since 500 Swagbucks is enough to get a $5 Amazon gift card {with 50 points left over!} that makes your paid membership even cheaper!!! And my friends tell me that they do special promo’s pretty often, where you get bonus Swagbucks with purchase. And you know I LOVE me some Swagbucks!

Love it, right?

You are guaranteed to find the lowest prices, since you can see the price comparisons right on the screen. If you sign up as a premium member, you’ll get bonus discounts on top of those savings. You can get FREE shipping, and it’s lightning fast.

Even if you only sign up for the FREE Yaysave membership right now, you’ll still be saving… It’s just a few lines to fill out, and BAM, you’re in, and can start checking out the sweet deals. So it’s easy to see more, and decide if upgrading is the right choice for you too.

This is how I’m using it:

I’ll check it out a couple times per week, and just check for items at a rock bottom price. When I find one, I’ll order a few, if I know we’ll use them. Since I have the FREE SHIPPING with the PREMIUM Membership, I can order just one item if that’s all I find, and it’s still free to ship. That way, I can slowly build a new stockpile of household items, at a SUPER discounted price. Plus, you can sign up at a site like Deals.com to get alerts sent to you with new Yaysave Coupon Codes, to save even MORE.

To get started, sign up for Swagbucks if you haven’t already, so you get your bonus points. Then head over to Yaysave and get YOUR Premium Account today too!

Are YOU using Yaysave?

I’d love to hear any great tips to using this site, or info that you have. Like I said, I’m a brand new member… And I like to know the best tricks to maximizing my savings on any site that I use!

Be sure to use the social buttons to share this with your friends, because remember….

Friends don’t let friends pay full price!

How a $50 Deal Coupon Can Lead to Over $1,000 in Spending!

The “DEAL” that Spawns Spending….

We’ve all done it, right? You see a really amazing 80% off deal on the cutest baby stuff over at Totsy, or find a killer designer dress for you, for only $50 on Haute Look, or another great bargain on Groupon, and feel like you totally scored the greatest buy.

Then it happens…

Suddenly, that one great buy leads to MORE shopping…. The baby dress you bought was a steal, but you realize that you need shoes to go with it. Oh, and tights. And something for her hair, right?

Or maybe it’s YOUR dress… And you realize you just don’t have the right heels for it, so you’ve got to make a quick run to the mall to find some, so you can wear it to a big event. But while at the mall, you see a great deal on jeans, and pick up a couple pairs. Then a clearance sale. Then a quick snack.

You can see where this is headed, right?

To learn some great tips on how to deal with this type of “Deal Sprawl”, check out today’s new article on Learnvest. {Which, by the way, is one of my VERY favorite sites. Sign up for their newsletter, and you can then join the FREE online — You’ll love it!}

OhmyHECK – Remember Popoids Toys?

I LOVED these when I was a kid!

I remember getting these in my Happy Meal at McDonalds, and being SO super excited to bring them home to add to my collection.

We were really poor when I was a little girl… Like, one year we were the family that the church chose to sponsor kind of poor… And going to McDonalds was a big luxury anyway. When the trip rewarded me with not only my beloved Chicken Nuggets and Hi-C Orange drink, a crawl through the Big Mac Maze, and a quick hide-out in the Hamburgler Jailhouse- when I got not just any toy, but my FAVORITE Popoids toys- I was as excited as a kid all jacked up on sugary soda can get!!!

Haven’t seen ’em in years!

I wouldn’t have believed that they even made these anymore, until I saw that they’re available today on Totsy!! And, not only can I actually buy them, but they’re also HALF OFF!!! The sale only lasts for a couple days, and some sets were sold out already, but I got one. My inner child has a very happy heart tonight…

How to get them-

Head over to Totsy, and register really quick for an account if you haven’t already. {It only takes a sec, and they won’t spam ya, just one email per day with the newest sales, promise.} Then, on the main screen, just click on the big graphic with the BUILDING TOY EVENT on it, and get to shoppin’!!

If for some sad reason you miss out on this, {it’s a very limited time sale} I also found them on Amazon – Popoids 140-Piece Construction Set In Bucket – but they’re double the price! So, if you remember these, and are as excited as I am to know that they still exist, and are also excited to fight the kids for the chance to build with them {lol, but only kind of…} then jump on this deal at Totsy today!
