Lego Love

My kids love Legos. There have got to be several million of them in the boys' room. My husband saved all his Lego sets from when he was a kid and my children have been receiving sets for years. They build them according to the directions as soon as they open a new set, but after the initial set is built they look for new inspiration. They've been receiving this free magazine from Lego for a couple years now and all love it. Click here to order a free subscription for your kiddos!

Quick Target Rant

I'd like to start by saying that Target is my favorite mass merchandiser. I seriously shop there 3-4 times a week. It seems like I'm always forgetting something and have to run back over there. Luckily, there's a Target about a mile from my house. Lately however, I've had a lot of problems with Target while checking out. I have been over charged fairly often, once a week or more, which is kind of insane! The checkers are busy talking to other employees while they're ringing up my orders and have been making mistakes because of their lack of attention. I find that really annoying and unprofessional. The other day, while I was checking out, a manager came up to the girl who was ringing my order. She began to instruct her on "proper bagging". Apparently, this means not double bagging and cramming as many items in a bag as will fit, no matter how heavy it gets. She was told not to bag my milk or anything else that can be carried. I asked if Target was going green and the response I received was "No we don't care about the environment, we just need to save money on bags. You have no idea how much they cost." Um, OK. Really? Well, that's great. To add insult to injury, while they were having this conversation the checker rang up my 1 Dr. Pepper 8 pack twice!

Free Bodycology Charmed Apple Product Sample

Bodycology has an offer on their Facebook page for a free sample of their Charmed Apple Products. Usually the Bodycology samples are lotion, but this one doesn't seem to specify. You'll have to 'like' their page to request the freebie, click here if you're interested!

Free Wall Street Journal Subscription

Rewards Gold currently has an offer for a free subscription to the Wall Street Journal. I know this is a valid freebie because I got it a while back. Many of the papers ended up tossed in my muddy driveway and rotted there until my husband got so annoyed he dug them out (oops!), so I will not be signing up for this again. However if you're interested in the free subscription, click here!

Earning Free Stuff at Amazon!!!!

This past week, I bought my daughter 2 fabulous pairs of Fall/Winter fashion boots and I paid $0.00 for them! That's right! They ended up being absolutely FREE! My daughter now has a brand new pair of Uggs and a brand new pair of Minnetonka boots! They are so cute and I was able to get them for free by redeeming gift cards that I earned by doing a few simple things online! The first: I use the search engine Swagbucks. It's a search engine that rewards you for using it! I've been a member for years now and I've redeemed many, many times now. This last time I got 3 $5 Amazon gift cards! If you've never used Swagbucks it's time to check it out! Search engines like Google and Bing make money from advertisers every time you complete a search. Swagbucks takes those earnings and gives some back to you! The second: Now I know I already wrote about this site, but I just can't say enough great things about Viewpoints! I have written a whole lot of reviews, and it's totally paid off! Each time I rack up 500 points I've been offered a choice between a $5 Amazon gift card and a $5 Lowes gift card. I have chosen the Amazon card each time!

Saving Money When You Shop Online

I love online shopping. My mailman probably isn't a fan of my hobby, but I have to admit I'm a little addicted to the convenience! So what do I love even more than online shopping? Saving money on stuff I was planning to buy anyway, that's what! After I place item in my virtual shopping cart, but before I check out, there are a few sites I visit for promo codes. The first is CouponCabin.com. They have all kinds of promo codes and deals. The next site is RetailMeNot.com. They offer lots of promo codes, however their content is all user generated, so there are a lot of fake codes floating around. The people who run the site do a decent job of separating the popular codes from the unpopular ones, but I've had both kinds work for me in the past, so I always check though them all. Another great site for saving money online is FatWallet.com. Just like the others they have great ways to save at the virtual register! Happy Shopping!
