Up to 90% off on Family Deals!!

So… You guys know how much I LOVE daily deal sites.

I lost my job before I was able to return from my maternity leave. And I’ve been a {very happy!} stay at home momma ever since. I’m broke as all heck, because belive it or not, blogging doesn’t make you a millionaire, especially the first 3 months :) But I am so so lucky to get to be at home.

But with all of the things a {too fast!!} growing baby needs, I would NEVER be able to afford things without using these deal sites, especially the ones targeted towards moms!!

The sites all work on a similar idea… If a company offers ONE deal at a SUPER deep discount, but gets TONS of sales from it, it can be worth it for them. And it is TOTALLY worth it to you to get that daily deal, if it is something that you’re needing.

I’ve gotten a diaper bag at over $100 off retail, toys for $50 – 90% off, and lots of gift certificates for things like restaurants, the zoo, and classes, at really great, affordable, prices.

So when I found this new site today, I of course signed right up!! I hope it helps you out too!! “Save up to 90% on Fun Family Deals at FamilyFinds.com Click Here to learn more.”

Do you have any favorite deal sites? Or any great tips on saving money with a growing baby? I’d love to hear your tips in the comments :)

{Super Cute!} Free Photo Gifts

I’m sure you’ve seen the FREE offers all of the time from Vistaprint…

But maybe you’re like me, and wondered if there was a catch? Or if the product was any good?

I made my first order with them not too long ago, and LOVED it! See some of the fun stuff I got, almost all of it for FREE:

I got one each of all of the freebies, and added a few extras to get FREE shipping! {When I ordered, you got FREE shipping with any order over $25} Also, their FREE shipping says it will take 20 days or so, really long, but both of my orders have come waaaaay faster than that.

I got FREE business cards, for Sunshine and Sippy Cups, and a personal “Mommy Card” set for me:

I got one FREE photo flip book, and added a couple extras for gifts for grandma and grandpa:

I also got a super cute mouse pad with my little sunshine’s face on it! Makes doing work at the computer much more fun:

I also got notebooks, pens with my blog info, address labels, stickers, post cards {blog and personal} tote bag, tshirt, post-its with baby girls pic, and more!

FREE Product Samples from Vistaprint! Get custom printed products for home or office. Choose your free product today! Select from business cards, postcards, invitations, mugs, tote bags and other great products! Click Here to get started!

Even if you get just one or two, and pay the shipping price, it is still an awesome deal. I suggest loading up on a bunch of goodies though, if there is a free shipping offer! Get all of the free items, and add a few fun gifts to reach the free shipping amount… I spent about $30 and got all of the stuff you see above, and more.

You’ll love the quality! Vistaprint is so great for fun, personalized products for gifts. And if you have a blog or small business, they are a GREAT way to get some promotional products with your own logo, at a really big discount.

LOVE MOM.COM!

Such a fun site!

Check out Mom.com! This is another one of my favorite “Daily Deal” sites, and it is focused {can you guess?} on products just for moms, babies, and kids.

I love the name. I love the selection of deals they present. And I LOVE the prices on those deals!! Having a baby is expensive, and there are so so many things to buy that I never expected or thought of. Using these types of sites to grab stuff we need at really deep discounts is the only way I can afford to stay home with the little one.

Win a $1,000 Amazon Gift Card!!

Sign up today for a chance to win a $1,000 Amazon.com Gift Card!

Amazon is one of my VERY favorite places to shop. Seriously. And this is the easiest thing to enter:

Win a $1,000 Amazon Gift Card!

Just click the link, hit enter, and say Yes to subscribe to email updates on clothing sales. That’s it. Easy peasy, right?

And, if you are a big fan of Amazon too, let me share a couple of tips to save you some money.

1. Sign up for Amazon Mom. You don’t even have to BE a mom. It’s a pretty easy sign up, and then you’ll get two whole months of FREE 2 DAY shipping on all Amazon Prime purchases (which is most stuff). Also, you get discounts on diapers and wipes too. And every time you make a purchase of baby items over $25, you get an additional month of free shipping added to your account. To sign up, just go into the “Your Account” section and find “Amazon Mom”.
2. Speaking of diapers… I ONLY buy diapers through Amazon. I sign up for the “Subscribe and Save” option, which takes 15% off of the price. Then, if you’re signed up for Amazon Mom, they’ll take an EXTRA 15% off too. Plus, your shipping is free. And each diaper purchase helps you to extend your months of FREE shipping. {Plus, you can change your subscribe and save options ANY time, and not have the shipment sent if you don’t want it}
3. Another great tip is to sign up for Swag Bucks. There are a lot of different rewards you can choose from, but I think the best deal is the Amazon Gift Cards. And ALWAYS get the $5 gift cards. If you do the math, they are a much better deal than any of the higher dollar amounts. I earn enough Swag Bucks to get a $5 Amazon card about once every week or two. Then you add ’em to your Amazon account, and let them add up until you’re ready to use them. This saves me a ton of money. Sign up Click Here.

And, just for fun, here are a couple of great deals on Amazon today:

Love this book, “Peek a Who?”, perhaps partly because I have a current obsession with Owls. But this is a super cute book that our kids think is so much fun.

Another favorite at my house is this adorable giraffe soother. It plays 4 different sound settings, from a white noise to a fun jungle beat. It also has a little velcro strap that you can use to attach it to the stroller or carseat. So cute.

Our current favorite movie. Seriously, so good. The little yellow guys’ laugh is just so contagious. Even I like watching this one :)

So, get on over and enter to win the $1,000 Amazon Gift Card, and sign up for some of these other programs too, to save some extra money! Have a great Sunday… I hope you’re all getting some sunshine today!
