Cheap as a Garage Sale

The Childrens Place at the Great Plains Mall is where all the other Childrens Place stores send the stuff they don't have room for, so they always have lots.  

They are having an amazing $1.99 sale.  Then if you use your 15% off coupon it makes the items $1.69.  I bought my son, Roman, several shorts and shirts for next summer.  I love buying play clothes for $1.69 because then I don't get upset when they get dirty or stained.  I bought my daughter several tank tops for $1.99 and a pair of jeans for $2.99, plus 15% off.  I got a blue oxford dress shirt for Roman for $.99 cents.....with discount....$.85 cents....YES!!!!  You can't beat that!   Socks for $.45 cents.  So, if you live in KC area go to Childrens Place and buy for now or next summer.  They have other summer things on sale for $3.99 which is great too!

Buy Pampers and Get Free Stuff

If you are a mom right in the middle of the diaper stage then I have a deal for you!  I am a Pampers purchaser and I always have been.  I know some mom's are Huggies only or Luvs only or "whatever is on sale" only, but I have always been a Pampers only.  

So, Pampers has a Gifts to Grow Program.  You go online and sign up at www.pampers.com and then every time you buy a Pampers product like wipes or diapers you look for the code on the product.  You enter the code online and they give you points.  Once you get so many points then you are eligible for free products and you get to choose from the catalog online.

There are toys and books in the catalog, Starbucks gift cards, and lots of things from Shutterfly.com.  I am striving for a Shutterfly 8X8 Photo Book. (I always make a photo book of Ava and Roman's birthday every year.)  It is 100 points and I think I have 78 right now.  I started this a couple of months ago, so it hasn't taken very long.  You can get some things for as little as 20 points.  If you have to buy diapers anyway, then you might as well make it fun by getting something out of it!  Don't forget to go to www.pampers.com and check out the gifts to grow section.

Do me a favor and take the poll on the right.....then we will all know what the most popular diaper brand is!!!  Plus, always feel free to comment on the blog....I would love some feedback, especially if you have some deals, tips or bargains to share!

Payless BOGO

It is BOGO time at Payless again.  Looks like they have lots of new fall shoes.  This doesn't end until Sept 8th.  Remember that if they do not have your size, they will ship it to the store for free and you can pick it up later.  Happy Shoe Shopping....it is the best kind of shopping... in my opinion!

CLEARANCE VS

Victoria Secret Online is offering an extra 25% Off the clearance price of their denim, sweaters and shoes.  I saw some sweaters and shirts as low as $8.99 and then you could take 25% off that! Some really cute fall boots too!  Ends today though.  HURRY! See below for special code.

TUTU CUTE!!

The Princess Club in downtown Prairie Village is having a sidewalk sale.  They had darling dress up dresses for 20% off and lots of cute tutus for 50% off!  My daughter Ava takes ballet and is starting again in the fall, so I got her a couple of tutus!  If you have never been to this store and you have a daughter then you have to go.....it is the sweetest thing ever!  Go to www.afairytaleballet.com for the address and phone number if you need directions.

Also the children boutique Mady and Me in Prairie Village shops (which is a couple doors down from the Princess Club) is having a BIG sale.  There is a small rack of fall & winter clothes for 75% off.  Then there are lots of racks of summer clothes on sale for 50% off!  This is a really pricey boutique that rarely marks down, so hitting the sale may be a good idea!  Plus the accessories in there are to die for......actually everything in there is to die for!

I LOVE 70% OFF

New York & Company has 70% off the red-lined markdown price!  You may or may not be a fan of the store, but it might be worth checking cause you could get some stuff for CHEAP!  I bought a $40 dress for $11.  Not too shabby!

$10 OFF COUPON

Delia's is offering a $10 off any purchase coupon if you try on a pair jeans.  I went in tried on the jeans and told them up front and they handed the card to me.  I didn't have to make a purchase at that time.  My kids were DONE shopping for the day so I am going to use my coupon on another occasion....Hopefully when they are not with me :)  It doesn't expire until Sept 3rd.  They had a lot of stuff on clearance in the back, so if money is tight you could probably get something for free by using your coupon.  I actually really liked the jeans I tried on and I may go back and buy them.  Another deal they are offering is "Buy One Jean/Pants and Get One Half Off".  There is a Delia's at Oak Park Mall, Zona Rosa, and Independence Center.  To check for locations in your area go to www.store.delias.com

Spread Love...Not Germs

If you happen to be close to a Bath and Body Works you might want to stop in and stock up.  They are offering 5 for $15 Anti-bacterial soaps, sanitizers and gels.  I am all about some anti-bacterial anything!  Sometimes I am a bit obsessed, but anyway..... Check out the nearest location at www.bathandbodyworks.com

Build-A-Bear is offering a free messenger bag with a purchase of $15 or more this Saturday & Sunday, August 16th & 17th.  If you read my post from a couple of days ago then you know that in the latest issue of People magazine (the one with Brad & Angie's twins) there is a $5 off a purchase of $10 or more for Build-A-Bear.  If you have the coupon and go this weekend then you get some off plus something free!

Last-Minute Back To School Gear

Disney Store has a "Buy a BackPack, Get a Lunch Tote for FREE" Sale right now.  For the little ones there is Lightning McQueen, Buzz Lightyear, Power Rangers, Pirates of the Caribbean, & Mickey for boys. Princess, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, Tinkerbell, & Minnie for girls.  The rolling backpacks are regularly $29.50...on sale for $19.99 and the regular backpacks are reg. $19.50 on sale for $14.99.  The lunch totes are regulary $9.50, but FREE if you buy a backpack.

Free Gift

If you like Clinique or want to try it then use the offer code below and order something.  Shipping is free AND you get All About Eyes for FREE.  This deal expires on Monday, August 18th.  I have always loved Clinique.  Comment and let me know what your favorite make-up is so that I can watch for sales for you....

Cheap Movies

Blockbuster has a summer promotion offering kids movies for $1.99 right now.  I like to go to the library to get movies for my kids because they are free, but they don't have as much as Blockbuster, so sometimes it is a nice treat to go there and pick out a movie.  Or if Paul and I go to rent a movie for us and we have the kids with us they always beg for one....and we typically break down and walk out of there spending more than we wanted.  I think this deal will run through August. 

We joined the Blockbuster Rewards program and if you go on Tuesdays and rent one movie then you get one movie for free.  So if you rent one for the adults at regular price, which is $4.59 then you could get a family movie ($4.59) for free.  Then you could get a kids movie for $1.99.   So, you get 3 movies for $6.58 (before tax) and that normally would have cost $13.77.  That is one movie to watch by yourselves, one to watch as a family and one just for the kids!!  Or you get could get two movies for the adults and one for the kids.  My husband and I have been enjoying renting seasons of TV shows since there is nothing to watch on TV in the summer.  You could keep them a week and then take them back on the next Tuesday and do the same thing again. 

 I know some moms who use renting movies as incentives for behaving throughout the week.  Also, with the Blockbuster Reward program you get at least one coupon a month for a totally free movie of your choice.  Happy movie watching!

Take Time to Relax.....Buy A Magazine!

Okay, normally I don't buy magazines because it just seems like a waste of money most of the time......although I absolutely LOVE to read magazines.  I would buy them all the time if I didn't restrain myself.  However, I have a couple of magazines you may want to buy because there are coupons in them. 

All You is a magazine that has tons of coupons in them.  I am a huge coupon clipper...SO I need this magazine...RIGHT?  It is only $1.97 and then has lots of food coupons in it.  If you use the coupons you probably get your money back and get to enjoy a magazine in the meantime.  If you go to their website www.allyou.com you can sign up to receive two free trial issues.  

This week's People magazine has a Build-A-Bear coupon in it.  If you have little kiddos that like Build-A-Bear and you have a birthday or special occasion coming up then you might want to pick this magazine up.  It is for $5 off a bear of $10 or more.  It expires on Sept 30.  Whether you use the coupon or not.....you get to look at Brad Pitt.....Can you really put a price on that?

Lastly, if you know of a great magazine that has coupons or great money-saving tips then let me know.  Happy Reading and Relaxing!

School Already??

Well,  I am sure all the mom's out there are in a whirlwind trying to get their kids ready for school.  Luckily, I am not in that season of life just yet.  I sympathize with you because I know it takes a lot of $$$ to get your kids ready for school.  So, here are a couple of places offering great sales right now, especially if you have more than one child you are trying to send to school looking cute!
