B1G1 Free MP3 Album on Amazon

by on December 31, 2009 9:42 pm

If there is a $7.99+ MP3 Album that you want to buy on Amazon, they are offering a free $5 MP3 Album if you make your purchase before Sunday, January 10 (more details here). Be sure you wait for your email with your $5 credit before you make your “freebie” purchase (I got my promo code immediately after purchasing). You’ve got until Feb. 15 to redeem your $5 credit.

I’m a Norah Jones fan so I splurged on her two albums The Fall and Come Away With Me for $7.99 total in this deal. Yes, I’m still a huge fan of free music but this seemed like a pretty good deal if you’ve got an album you really want to buy. And hey – hopefully you’ve got some free Amazon gift certificates because you use Swagbucks to search the web. That always helps to make this a freebie!

$5 off 5 Healthy Choice Meals

by on December 31, 2009 9:13 pm

A great coupon to print twice to Save $5 on 5 Healthy Choice frozen meals. This coupon prints using SmartSource, don’t hit the back button but just visit that link again after your first coupon prints if you want a second coupon. Watch for a sale at your grocery store to make this coupon even sweeter! They often go on sale for $2 so this coupon gives you half-price on five meals! You have 14 days to use your coupons before they expire. My favorite flavor is the Pumpkin Squash Ravioli – something different that I wouldn’t normally eat makes it special and a healthy meal!

Expired Free 2010 Calendars

by Christina on December 31, 2009 7:44 am

Instead of buying a 2010 Calendar to hang in my kitchen, I’m using one that I got for free. There are lots of free calendars available, and some of them include great coupons. I’ve shared several free calendar offers with you and these look like they are still available to request:
2010 Oriental Trading Co.
2010 Eat Better America
2010 Womens Health Planning
2010 Chick-fil-A Calendar (free with gift card purchase)

Here are some printable calendars:
2010 8×10 Photo Calendar by Manda Girl
2009/10 School Year Kids Coloring Calendar
DLTK’s Custom Kids Calendars
MomAdvice’s Weekly Planner

Last year I repurposed my Chick-fil-A Calendar by pasting my old Sunflower Calendar pictures onto it. I didn’t really want to be looking at the Chick-fil-A cows in my kitchen (as cute as they may be). So I took my 2008 Sunflower Calendar and cut out the photos to paste onto my 2009 Chick-fil-A Calendar. I used scissors, double-stick tape, and a hole punch to create it. Yes, it took some time to do this and I did have a problem with the calendar being extra thick now and the inner-most page detached and I had to glue it. But I was proud of myself for eliminating the need to purchase any calendars for 2009.

Remember my Printable Weekly Planner that I created with MomAdvice’s help? Here it is, ready to help me stay organized in the new year. I love that I can see 2 weeks at one time.

You may not want to take the time or have the materials to create your own calendars like I did, but here are my tips for buying calendars for really cheap:

How to Find Cheap Calendars:

* Target Dollar Spot @ 50% and 75% off - My Target has their Dollar Spot on sale for 50% off everything, and I saw a few calendars. I’ve seen the Dollar Spot at 75% off before so I know it may happen. Of course selection is limited, but you never know what you’ll find if you dig a little!

* Christmas Clearance – Sometimes you even find calendars in the Christmas Clearance. Many stores are going 75% off this week, some will even go 90% off starting next week!

* Dollar Store – The Dollar Store usually has a great selection of calendars for $1

When you are taking down your 2009 calendars, why not find a way to utilize the photographs or illustrations they contain? Last year I had a few extra pages from my 2008 Sunflower calendar that I used to create a decorative cover for this notebook.

I know there are some wonderful digital calendars out there to help everyone out, and most are completely free! I need paper calendars because my computer is off for most of the day and I need to look at my calendar all the time.

How are you saving money on creating your 2010 Calendars? What are you doing with your 2009 Calendars?

Huggies New 5 Point Code

by on December 30, 2009 10:11 pm

You can play the sweeps when you add 5 more points to your Huggies Enjoy The Ride Rewards account by entering this new code thanks to one of my readers. You should also keep an eye out for codes on packages of Huggies Wipes and Diapers (one-time use codes, not shareable) on the inside of the packaging or on the reverse side of wipes labels. If you think you missed any codes I already posted, look at all Huggies codes here.

BCSTDHJZXTKPPGB (5 pts, expires 3/31/10)

I think the best “Instant Win” game to play is for $25 Prepaid Visa and there are 1,000 winners between Dec. 2 – Dec. 31. You can also try your luck at the Cash Extravaganza II Interactive Game where prizes start at $10 cash. But play whatever sweeps you want to try to win – or you can now save your points to redeem for a prize in the Rewards Catalog. They start at 94 points for crayons and shipping is included in the prize.

Don’t give up on playing – because lots of my readers are winning this! Remember that the odds improve a little if you can play early in the morning or late at night when less people are playing at the same time as you. So far I’ve won a total of $50 in “Gas Cash” rewards cards. What are you winning, leave a comment to share!
