Picaboo: $10 off PLUS Free Shipping!

I love Picaboo* photo books! We did these as Christmas gifts last year, and all of our family loved them! Anyway, right now you can get $10 off + Free Shipping on all 8x8, 8.5x11, 11x14, and 12x12 Classic photo books with promo code "AUSTEN" at checkout! Offer ends Tuesday, August 23rd.

Why do I love Picaboo*? Because you download their software to your computer to work on your book, instead of having to work online. When you're ready to order, you upload it, preview, and place your order! So simple! Plus, you have complete freedom in creating your book: 1,000's of backgrounds, fonts, free-floating picture positioning (or whatever the technical term that means you can turn it any way you want...)... and so much more! Check it out, and you'll love it!

*Picaboo also has a "friend referral" program... Share Picaboo with friends, and you get $10 Picaboo credit for every friend who signs up with them and downloads the Picaboo photo software (they don't have to make a purchase)! So yep, that's my referral link above! We're expecting our daughter sometime in November, and I would love to make a baby album to capture those precious first months!

Dairy Queen: Blizzards B1G1 Half-Off (no coupon needed)

Through Sunday, August 21st, stop by any Dairy Queen and when you buy one Blizzard, get the second half off (of equal or lesser value). No coupon needed! Enjoy!

Neutrogena Cleanser: $2.25 SHIPPED (no coupon needed)

Update: SOLD OUT!!!
I would think this one would sell out fast: One of Target Daily Deals is a bottle of Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser for $2.25 with free shipping. How's that for a great deal and you didn't even have to use a coupon?

Free Sample: Nescafe Taster's Choice (6pk)

Head over to Facebook and "like" Nescafe USA. You can sign-up to get a FREE SAMPLE of their Taster's Choice single-serve instant coffee... this is one of my favorite samples to sign up for, because you get to try All 6 Flavors!!! This has been a good alternative to my regular coffee during pregnancy because the caffeine content is so much lower (around 70mg for the regular flavors and only 35mg for the flavored-flavors).

This sample also allows two per household, so make sure you sign your husband or someone else up!

Staples $.50 Ream of All-Purpose Paper (8/14-8/20)

If you need some cheap printer paper for coupons, kids doodling, etc... Swing by your local Staples because they have a great deal on paper: Hammermill CopyPlus paper is $.50 after rebate... I really don't mind Staples Easy Rebates, because you can fill out the rebate online! No hassle with having to remember to send it in the mail... And every time I've done one of their rebates, the check was waiting for me in my mailbox within 2-3 weeks. The other part about this deal I like... Each customer is eligible for TWO rebates on the paper, so you can get two reams of paper for $1. Now that's a little more worth me dragging my pregnant body and toddler through another store!

Other deals I snagged at Staples:
- 2ct. Sharpie Markers: $.25 (limit 2)
- One subject notebooks: $.01 (limit 6, with a $5 purchase)

I bought one ream for myself (coupons, of course!) and another ream for my 5 nieces for Christmas! I'm making them "craft" buckets, filled with doodle paper, colorful scrapbooks paper, glue sticks, new markers, blank cards, etc... And what better time to shop for this stuff than during Back to School Sales?

My little family and I recently went camping in the mountains of NY, and we got to use our brand new tent we ordered from Amazon... We paid for more than half of it with Amazon cards I earned through Swagbucks! As you can see, our little boy at 18m is already wanting to grow up to be just like daddy! :-)

Snapfish: 100 Prints for $1 SHIPPED!!!

Wow, this is a GREAT photo deal! Snapfish is offering 100 4x6 prints for $1+tax (including shipping!) with promo code "WEDPRINT" (and yes, you have to order exactly 100). I just did it and ordered a bunch of pictures from all the smiles we've had this summer! So it's a completely legit offer... Not sure when this expires, possibly tomorrow (8/16)?

How can you pass up $.01 prints?

Thanks, For the Mommas!

Taco Bell: $.99 Nachos Supreme (through Aug. 27th)

Toys R' Us: Baby Einstein DVD Sets $9.99 (in store 8/14-8/20)

This week at Toys 'R Us (and Babies 'R Us), Baby Einstein DVD sets are $9.99. These sets include the DVD, book (or cards), and a music cd. My son loved the Baby Einstein DVD's because they were soothing classical music, pictures & video of nature, and basic toys being played with. I don't recommend a lot of TV time, but it's nice having one or two short videos for those stressful moments when nothing can get done otherwise! The knock-off brand "Baby Genius" just isn't the same at all.
