Free photo book from Diapers.com and Shutterfly!

October 31, 2010 by

If you’ve ordered from Diapers.com before, check your e-mail! You may have gotten a code for a free 20 page, 8X8 photo book from Shutterfly! The regular price on these books is $29.99, so this is an awesome deal!  You do have to pay any applicable taxes and shipping and handling charges.  I’m not sure how much that will be because I haven’t made mine yet!  This offer is valid through November 22, 2010.

Save 50%+ on kid shoes at Endless.com!

October 31, 2010 by

Have you checked out Endless.com yet?  They have GREAT prices on shoes, free overnight shipping on new styles, and free return shipping (it’s VERY easy – I’ve done it before!).  PLUS you can pay for your purchase using Amazon gift cards!

If you haven’t checked out Endless.com yet, it’s a great time to check it out!  They are having a HUGE sale on kid shoes and there are promotional codes that you can use to increase your savings.

Here’s the breakdown:

1.  If you have a Shop at Home account, make sure you log in here first.  They are currently offering 13% cash back for Endless.com purchases.  (You will get a $5 bonus if you sign up for the first time here – if you want to learn more about Shop at Home, check out this post here)

2.  Search for Endless.com on the Shop at Home page.  When you click through the link, it will create a “tracking ticket.”

3.  When you get to Endless.com, enter FALLKIDS2010 into the search box (this is not a code).  If you buy shoes that are part of this promotion, you will get $20 off an $80 kids shoe purchase.

4.  When you are ready to check-out, enter the promotional code THANKS20 to get 20% off your entire purchase.  If you are an Amazon Mom member, make sure you check your inbox for the account that is associated with your Amazon Mom account because you should have received a 20% off code yesterday (I deleted mine before I realized what it was, but thankfully it was still in my trashcan!).  The subject line of the e-mail is “Just for you from Endless.com”  These codes can be combined and can be used on ANY items, so if you have both codes, you can buy shoes for yourself and get 40% off!

**NOTE:  If you are using an account where you have earned Amazon gift cards and applied them to your account, you will HAVE to use any gift card balance if you are going to use these promotional codes.

Print your $8 Toy Story 3 coupon!

October 28, 2010 by

The Toy Story 3 printable coupon is now “live” and is valid for $8 off the purchase of the Toy Story 3 Blu Ray/DVD combo pack.  You can print it here (you must be registered fora  Disney Movie Rewards account, which is free).

Here’s the scoop I have on pricing so far:

Amazon – currently available for $24.99 (you can’t use coupons, but you can use gift cards you’ve earned from Swagbucks!)

Best Buy – reportedly it will be $24.99, so $16.99 after coupon

Target – reportedly it will be $24.99, so $16.99 after coupon

Toys ‘R Us – reportedly will be $29.99, so $21.99 after coupon

Walmart – currently listed at online at $24.99, so $16.99 after coupon

CVS will also have a deal where you can get the regular Toy Story 3 DVD for $3.99 when you spend $25 on select Procter & Gamble products.  The $8 coupon cannot be used on this deal since it’s not the combo pack.  You can get a $5/15 CVS coupon when you print this coupon here and take it to your local Minute Clinic (no visit necessary), which will help lower your cost.

This is my plan since I pre-ordered it at Toys ‘R Us:

Buy Toy Story 3 – $29.99

Use $8 printable coupon
-$5 pre-order credit
-$7.99 gift card (left from Tinkerbell promotion)

Spend $9 OOP

*There will also be a free Toy Story 3 wall clock, which I’m hoping I’ll be able to get for my son!
