Tip of the Day Tuesday: Get tons of great ideas for Science Fair projects

Spring seems to be the season for school science projects. When I was a kid, I can remember spending hours agonizing over coming up with an idea for my science project (I’m sure it was even more strenuous for my parents!).

Scotch has created a site to help eliminate all of the pre science fair stress. At “Science Fair Central” you’ll find tons of great tips for parents as well as plenty of science fair project ideas. Click here to see them all.

For those of us who like a good bargain, click here to access moneysaving coupons that will help you buy things to assemble the display!

The best deals on Disney’s BOLT movie


My husband took my daughter to see BOLT during the Christmas holidays. She hasn’t stopped talking about it since then and has anxiously been awaiting the release of the DVD.

Our copy will actually be a $4 moneymaker because I got it for free from Amazon.com by using gift cards that I earned through Swagbucks (to learn more about Swagbucks, click here). Then, I will submit the $4 mail in rebate here.

If you have gift cards that you have earned through Swagbucks and want to get Bolt, you can buy the regular DVD for $15.99 (you get free super saver shipping if you spend $25) or the Blu Ray for $26.99.

If you want to buy Bolt at a regular store, there is a printable coupon for $5 off the regular DVD here and $10 off the Blu Ray here (the coupons expire on 3/31). Don’t forget to take advantage of the $4 mail in rebate.

Here are the best deals (courtesy of Slick Deals):

Bluray deals (prices after $10 printable coupon)
*Toys R Us $15 ($11 after rebate)
*Fry’s Electronics $15 ($11 after rebate)
*Target $17 ($13 after rebate)
*Walmart $18 ($14 after rebate)
*Best Buy $18 ($14 after rebate)

DVD deals (prices after $5 printable coupon)
Target $11 ($7 after rebate)
WalMart $12 ($8 after rebate)
Best Buy $12 ($8 after rebate)
Toys R Us $13 ($9 after rebate)
Fry’s Electronics $15 ($11 after rebate)

UPDATE: HOT deal at Target

Target has a deal this week where you get an instant $10 off when you buy Bolt and Lilo and Stitch. There is also an additional $5 Disney rebate when you buy Rayovac batteries and any Disney movie here. (thanks Beth!)

Here’s a scenario thanks to annabellesmommy8 on BBC:
Buy Bolt – 15.99
Buy Lilo & Stitch – 15.99

-$10 off for buying both at Target
-$5 Bolt printable coupon

Total OOP (in store) = $16.98

-$4 “pasta” mail in rebate
-2 $5 Disney/Rayovac rebates

Total OOP after rebates = $2.98

(According to her, “the fine print” just says on any Disney DVD and it’s only limit of one per person in RI so that means for those of you buying both the Lilo & Stitch & Bolt you can send in for 2 $5 rebates.)

*Also keep your eyes open for $6 off when you buy both movies peelie coupons…if you find these, it’s a $3.02 moneymaker when all is said and done! (thanks three_kids_mom!)
