Lila Guide: $10 Target Gift Card Promotion

January 16, 2009 by

I have posted about how much I love Lila Guide several times now. Thanks to patientlywaitingforu on NBBC for sharing this!

Lila Guide has a new promotion. Here are the details:

1) You will get $5 for starting a parenting group

2) If you have at least 5 members (not including yourself) by Jan 30, you will get another $5. Members must be unique, real parents with verified email addresses (for example if the same person creates 5 accounts and joins their own group it won’t be counted).

Also don’t forget if you are just signing up you will also get $5 Target gift card by writing 10 reviews.

3) The promotion is open to anyone. Once you have completed the promotion, you must e-mail Shannon at sguyton @ lila guide . com (spaces removed, of course) to let her know your username and group name (I would attach a link to your group, too!)

If you haven’t signed up for Lila Guide yet, you really should! If you want more information about Lila Guide, check out this link for some of my other posts about the site (or feel free to post your questions here, as well).

Here’s the link to my group. It’s about potty training boys. I already have all of the members I need, but I sure could use some advice if anyone is interested!

Old Navy clearance sale at many stores starting today!

January 16, 2009 by

Old Navy will be having their “big” clearance sale today where you can take an additional 50% off of already clearanced merchandise. I recommend getting there EARLY as it promises to be a frenzy. I went to this sale once, with a one year old in tow, and I still have flashbacks of being unable to walk down the aisles (especially with a stroller) and of clothes flying back and forth. But…not all Old Navy stores may be like that!

If you are going, here’s a link to a printable $10 off $50 coupon for you to use as well.

UPDATE: I just got an e-mail from Old Navy and the sale is taking place online, too! You can save an additional 50% off when you use the code EXTRA50. Don’t forget to shop through Ebates to get an additional 3% cash back.

Thrifty Thursday: Hot grocery deals this week

January 15, 2009 by

Since I started my $40 weekly grocery budget, I have been VERY conscientious about looking at the ads each week. The past couple of weeks have been a bit disappointing, but this week, is an exciting week. Here are a few of the highlights.

Lots of 10/$10 items including veggies (you don’t have to buy 10 items to get them for $1 each….they will ring up at $1 individually) – I love 10/$10 sales because I usually have some coupons that will match up giving me FREE stuff!


The following fresh fruits and veggies are 10/$10: Ripe Jumbo Hass Avocados, Jumbo Mangos, Jumbo Texas Grapefruit, Organic Mini Peeled Carrots, Broccoli Crowns, and Seedless Cucumbers

These items are also 10/$10 with great coupon match-ups!

Green Giant Frozen Veggies – FREE with the coupons below:

.40/1 coupon from 12-14 SS insert (expires 1/31/09)

(Don’t forget to submit your Box Tops to support your child’s school!)

Dial Bar soap, 3 pk – FREE (YMMV)
.35/1 Dial multibar pack from 1/4 SS insert – this says “Do not double or triple” but YMMV because my stores still triple those coupons
