AVENT BOTTLES ON SALE

UPDATE:
I posted this post this morning and someone commented to let me know that these bottles are not as good of a deal as it seems as there are apparently 2 different packages you can get right now of Avent Bottles. The set for $10 is normally around $13 and the set tht is $18.99 is on sale for $16.14. From what I can tell the main difference between these 2 different packs is that the cheaper bottles have a ring at the top that is an extra piece to help with the gas/colic and the more expensive bottles have it built in. Also the cheaper bottles have the letters "PP" in the name because they are made of polypropelene and the more expensive bottles are made of Polyether Sulphone (PES). Both materials are BPA free.
-----------------------

This week at Target you can get a 2 pk. of Avent bottles (4 oz. or 9 oz.) for only $10. This is a great price considering Babies R' Us charges $18.99 for the same pack.

LOOKING FOR A STROLLER

Are you in the market for a new stroller and don't know where to begin? Stroller Depot is a great place to do your research and find exactly what you are looking for.

And be sure to get on their email list because they do giveaways all the time.

Amazon has the Baby Bjorn Air on sale for $69 with free shipping. It is normally $119.99. And $99.99 at Walmart and Target so this is a great price. I think the air is great because it breathes more so the baby doesn't get overheated.

TOY STORY 1 & 2 DEALS TOMORROW

UPDATE: Many Targets are sold out of Toy Story 1 & 2 so I went to Walmart and they price matched for me. I had the Target ad with me and I had to go to customer service so they had to ask a manager how to ring it up but I got both movies together for $15.99!

Toy Story 1 & 2 come out on Blu-ray/DVD tomorrow. Did you know that if you already have a VHS or DVD of these movies you can go on Disney Movie rewards and print a $10 off coupon for each movie? Also, if you buy the movies together the stores are giving you $10 off instantly. So...at Toys R' Us where each movie is $21.99 you would only pay $13.98 for both movies! Or at Target the movie prices are $1 more so you would pay $15.98. And each movie comes with a coupon for a free movie ticket to see Toy Story 3 when it comes out in June.

FRIENDS & FAMILY SALES

Crazy 8 is having a friends and family sale through Sunday, March 21st. The entire store is 25% off and they have a lot of great stuff on sale.

Lastly, Gap is doing their Give and Get promotion for 30% off your purchase. Click here for a coupon to use in stores. Can also be used at Gap and Banana Republic outlets. Ends Sunday, March 21st.

PRINCESS AND THE FROG DEALS

Princess and the Frog comes out on DVD/Blu-ray on Tuesday, March 16th. The 2 best places to purchases it (that I found) are from Kmart or Target (because you get something in addition to the movie) for the same price as other stores. You can also get a $10 off coupon to use on the Deluxe Edition. Click here to print it. You need to download a coupons.com printer if you have not already.

At Target, if you buy the Blu-ray or the Deluxe Blu-ray edition (also includes the DVD) then you get a Free princess Tiana purse. The purse is packaged with the movie and quantities are limited. Use the $10 off coupon and get it for $16.99. If you buy 2 boxes of kid's bandaids you can send in for a $5 rebate. Click here for a $1.00 off 1 box coupon.

At Kmart, you save $10 instantly if you buy both the Blu-ray or DVD and the Princess Tiana Doll ($10.99). I am not sure if you can use the $10 off coupon in addition as the coupon is on the Deluxe edition and the ad says Blu-ray or DVD but you can try. This is a great deal if you don't care about Blu-ray and you want to just buy the DVD. I am not sure what the DVD price is at Kmart but it is $15.99 at Target so maybe you could even make Kmart price match if it is more. The Blu-ray is listed as $19.99 at Target.

I hope this all makes sense to someone!

FREE LANCOME JUICY TUBE AT NORDSTROM

I love Lancome's Juicy tubes! I have been using them for at least 10 years and I love them. They are a little pricey but they last forever!

You must be between the ages of 13- 29 in order to get the freebie! Although they didn't ask my age. They had 3 colors to choose from. A hot pink type color, plum and kind of a red/burgundy. The colors of the tubes can be deceiving. I got the reddish color and it went on more pink.

*Thanks Freebies2deals !

You know how Disney let people into Disneyland for free in 2009 on their birthday? Well...in 2010 they are letting people into Disneyland or Disneyworld for free if they volunteer a day of service. They want to inspire 1 million people to volunteer in their communities. So...you go on their site and pick an organization to volunteer at and register and then after you complete your service you get your free Disney pass. It is for ages 6 and up. And...there are even some volunteer positions you can do from home if you are worried about leaving your kids or have other things that keep you from getting out. Click here for more details.

500th POST!

I just had to share that this is my 500th post! It is crazy to think I have blogged that much. I appreciate everyone's patience with me. I know I have been very sporatic in my blogging in the past while. I hope you have learned something helpful along the way. I am not a career blogger by any means. It is just fun for me to have a place on this world wide web to pass on the little tidbits/tips that I feel are worth sharing.

*Thanks Ashley for the tip.

LEGRUFFLES

Have you seen these new Legruffles made by Huggalugs? They are so cute (I like them on all ages of girls). They are like baby legs but they have ruching (pretty sure I spelled that wrong)! I love them. You will start finding them in children's boutiques in your area. In Utah they are found at Sassy Babies and others. They cost about $15 a pair.

ENTERTAINMENT BOOK 2010

You can get the 2010 Entertainment Book for 35% off right now. It is $22.75. In the past I have paid around $15 for the Entertainment Book so I was going to wait to get mine but then I realized that I could pay for that remaining $7.75 easily with a coupon between now and whenever it gets cheaper. I am so glad I got mine. It has a $20 rebate coupon to use on Hotwire. Save $10 a night on your priceline name your price stay (be sure to see my post on Better Bidding to help you book these stays), rental cars and more. In Utah there are coupons for 10% off your entire purchase at a Down East outlet and 20% off clothing at a Down East outlet (Down East Basics). Plenty of great restaurants such as: Tiburon, Blue Iguana, Carinos, Pizza Factory, Epic, Magelbys. Buy one get one free at Discovery Gateway, Boondocks, etc. etc. Basically I am a big fan!

RESTAURANT.COM

I have loved buying the gift certificates on Restaurant.com. You can buy $25 gift certificates for only $10. But the best part is that you can get their discount codes to get them even cheaper. Right now (1/30) you can use code BONUS to get 80% off of that so you get a $25 gift certificate for only $2. There are some restrictions such as: not to be used on holidays, have to purchase 2 entrees and such but I really like them.

I love that everytime I take my son we can take 2 other people with us for free.

NURSING COVER FOR $9.95

Udder Covers is giving their nursing covers away free if you pay for $9.95 shipping and handling (so not entirely free) but an amazing deal for sure! Use code BABYKISS in the code box. I got the one pictured above. It is really cute and quite neutral. I am not pregnant but for this price there is no harm in holding onto it, right?

UPDATE: You may have seen the anonymous comment on this post claiming that people who purchase from Udder Covers have fraudulent charges on their credit cards down the road. I have been in contact with Udder Covers and they are doing everything they can to protect purchasers on their site. They use a hacker safe co., Authorize.net, they have a secure site, etc. etc. I can see no way that this comment could be accurate. They are a secure site. The only reason they are offering covers at such a great price is to spread the word about their products and give Mom's a great deal.

OH SWEET SADIE

Oh Sweet Sadie (the best boutique around) will be doing a show on Friday and Saturday, February 5th & 6th at the SoDa row shops at Daybreak (11400 S. and Bangerter Hwy) in South Jordan, Utah. They will begin contests on their blog on January 25th!

COMPUTER BACKUP

My cousin's husband told me about Mozy. A website to backup your home computer on. You can get 2 gb of free space or pay $5 a month per computer for unlimited space. It is the best I have found. Other websites charge an amount per memory space. This is one flat fee.

Awhile ago my computer crashed and I was able to get all of my data back by just going on Mozy.com and downloading everything I had backed up. It was so great!

LEAP FROG LETTER FACTORY

My son started watching Leap Frog Letter Factory when he was just a few months over 2 years old and he loved it! I was amazed that after a week of watching it he could recognize almost every letter and knew ever letter's sound. The best part is that I don't have to make or even encourage him to watch it. He asks for it! Ever parent with a child age 2 and up needs to own this! They also have others that help put words together and learn numbers and such.


---------
As the commenters suggested, I went to Costco and they have this DVD as well as 4 others. They are $6.99 each. (Other stores sell it for $9.99, typically). Letter Factory is the first one because it is for ages 2-5. The others are more advanced and are for ages 3-6.

PRICELINE & HOTWIRE

Originally posted on 2/10/09

I have always heard of people getting hotel rooms on Priceline and Hotwire but I have never felt comfortable taking the gamble on an unknown hotel room. Until NOW! I have recently discovered Betterbidding.com
It is a forum that posts results of what hotels people are getting when they book a priceline or a hotwire room in a certain city or area. If you create a username and ask for a bidding strategy on priceline (where you would bid on your hotel) or post the amenities and stars and price on a hotwire hotel you are looking at they will help you guess what the hotel is. I have booked 3 separate hotels recently and they were right on with each hotel guess. Of course you are still taking a gamble using Priceline and Hotwire but it is nice to see some of the results that other people have gotten when booking to give you some reassurance. All they ask is that you book your rooms through their links to Hotwire and Priceline (they must get a kickback). Otherwise it is free!

GOOGLE TEXT!

Last posted on 4/1/08.




Did you know that you can TEXT Google on your cell phone and get results with the address and phone number or whatever you need for free! This is such a great alternative to 411. You need to be somewhat specific (city and state) and commas do help in my experience. You just text to 466453 ('GOOGLE' on most devices) and it sends back a text message with the info. Here is the link to read more about it.

If you don't want to text you can also call 1-800 GOOG 411 and they will connect you for free! Say good bye to $1.49 411 calls!!! Yeah! Here is the link for it.

MOVIE REVIEWS

There is this great website that you can go to and read movie reviews to find out the content and such. It gives you everything you might be worried about (especially if your children want to see it). You can subscribe to a more detailed version or just go to the bottom of the screen on the home page and click "no thanks" and you will still get all of the information you would need. You just have to see a lot of ads and such on their free version.

While I am talking about movies...has anyone seen "August Rush?" I am curious if it is worth seeing and I haven't heard anything yet.

UTAH SHOWS

MINT.COM

**Originally posted on 3/14/09

So...I started this blog because I love learning about new and useful things and I wanted to be able to share them with others. I am so excited to share my latest find with you.

My recent discovery is Mint.com! It is a website that helps you track your money and your spending and such. I have been using Quicken but I haven't loved the format of it or the fact that it costs money to purchase and I have to pay a $3 a month fee to my bank to upload to Quicken. Mint.com is entirely FREE is is very user friendly. It even sends me emails and text messages if I go over a budget category or if I have a credit card bill due soon.

Try it out and let me know what you think!

*Thanks Reese for the tip!

Oh Sweet Sadie is putting on a show in Daybreak at the new SoDa Row shops this Friday and Saturday, September 18th and 19th. 9:30 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. each day. They are also doing contests on their blog each day until the show. There are some good prizes!
