Secret Santa Mission

Secret Santa Helpers from 2010!

Repost:
I have been thinking a lot lately about our successful Secret Santa mission last year. You guys were AWESOME!!! So, I was thinking that we would try our hand at it AGAIN this year, but start a little earlier. HOW 'BOUT JULY/AUGUST?! Last year we were able to surprise 3 families (with only a week or two to get the drive going as it was last minute), and the funny thing is that we only set out to surprise ONE family! We were/are soooooo blessed! IT WAS SUCH AN AWESOME FEELING! I love being able to GIVE! It was just an awesome experience for my whole family!

Anyway, I just wanted to put it out there that we will be doing it again this year. I know that clearance sales are coming up pretty soon (but I also know school shopping is upon us too), so I just wanted to put it out there that we are doing this JUST in case you might come across something super duper inexpensive that you may want to donate to our cause.

I have yet to pick out our family. I kinda want to wait until a little closer to the holidays to find that perfect family again, but rest assured that we WILL be doing it again. (I am secretly going to pick out four families, just in case). I hope it's not asking too much, but maybe JUST maybe WE CAN DO FOUR FAMILIES THIS YEAR! Wouldn't that be AWESOME?!!!

Just kick the idea around a bit and see what you think. I will be in touch here soon with details of how we could use some help in this, if you need any ideas.

Thanks to you all! Seriously, I wanna cry here just thinking about how you all came through last year. IT WAS SOOO STINKIN' AWESOME!!!! ☺

Thanks guys!

Cheryl

P.S. I have already started. I picked up some Hamburger Helper yesterday at Albertsons for dirt cheap for this. I also picked up some toys last month at THE toy sale at Target.

RedBox = "Text Deal"

Do you Redbox? Well, if you do and you have a texting plan for your phone, you might be interested in doing their "Text Deal" promo right now. This promo runs through 8/24. Here's some info that I grabbed from their website....

•How many promo codes can I get on my phone each day?

No matter how many texts you send to redbox during the promotion, you'll only get one promo code sent to your phone on each day that you send one.

•What are the different discounts I might get?
The discount you'll get will either be $0.10, $0.25, $0.50 or $1.00.

•Can I use the promo code for any item (DVD, Blu-ray Disc® or video game)?
Yes! The promo code can be used towards the first-day rental of anything at a redbox kiosk. It's good for a discount off the standard daily rental fee.

•Can I use the promo code when I reserve a rental online or on the redbox app?
Sorry, but the code can only be used at a redbox kiosk.

•Can you email me the code instead?
Sorry, no – 10 Days of Deals is a text-only offer. If you can't participate because you don't have a cell phone with text message capabilities, stay tuned for more great redbox deals & freebies coming soon!

•Can I use more than one online rental credit for the same transaction?
Sorry, no – you can only use one rental credit per transaction.

•Can I use the promo code to buy a used DVD at a redbox kiosk?
Sorry, no – promo codes can only be used for rentals.

•How do I get a promo code by using Foursquare?
Check in on Foursquare at any redbox location between 8/15 and 8/24. Once you do, you'll be given instructions on how to get your promo code

If you are interested and need more info (you should read the fine print, as it talks about the texting charges and whatnot), then go on over here to check it out.

Thanks!

Local Coupon Clipping Service

Hey, I wanted to share with you all a "local" coupon service that I came upon recently. It is called West Coast Coupon Clipping. I found the service a few months ago and I have ordered so many times now that I can't remember. :O

I wanted to tell you a little bit about the company.

They are based out of Pasco, Washington. Just a few miles from Spokane! West Coast Coupon Clipping Service is ran by a mom and daughter (Tammy and Sam), who are just as nice as can be!

Here are a few facts about their AWESOME service:

There is a limit of 20 of the same coupons per order in a 7 day period. This is to be fair to everyone. If you order over the limit we will void your order and charge you a $1.00 processing fee for your refund, as this is what we are charged. Please be fair to everyone!
Having trouble finding what you want? Please feel free to ask.
Shipping prices~

Orders .05 cents to $1.99 Shipping is .99 cents

Orders $2.00-$4.00 shipping is .60 cents

Orders over 4.00 Shipping is FREE!

PLEASE NOTE: Pay in person is an option ONLY for local customers who will be picking their orders up and paying at that time. If you use this option by mistake you must contact us and send payment including shipping costs via PayPal OR void your order and resubmit a new order with the right payment method. If you do not, we will void your order at the end of the day. If your order has free shipping and you have made a payment do not worry about contacting us.
"Like" us @ http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/westcoastcouponclipping

We hope to hear from you soon :]

The 'new' coupons for each week will be available on Monday at 8 AM and updated/restocked again either Thursday at 8 AM or 5PM depending on when they arrive.

You do not need a PayPal account. Choose checkout and follow through.
A little tid bit on shipping (a way to keep those orders coming fast).....
When you have the full zip code with those last 4 numbers, and you don't write in cursive the Post Office pushes those through first.

So, make sure that you add your four-digits so you can get your orders FAST. ☺

WOW, I love that piece of info. So remember if you want something fast to remember to add those last four digits to your zip code AND DON'T write in cursive. ☺

Here is some more great info they have shared with me...

~We pull coupons from the site 3 full shipping days before they expire. Say a coupon expires this Friday, on Tuesday at 4:00 we pull them. Three days is generally the longest it takes mail to it's destination.
~Monday and Wednesday are by far our busiest days. We try and respond to all emails right away but on those days it might be a couple of hours :)
~You can sign up for their newsletter over here and EVEN follow them on Facebook over here.

Okay, seriously you guys/gals, this is one of the best coupon services I have ordered from them. Like I mentioned before, I just found them a few months ago and they are now my main source when I order coupons. I ordered my coupons on Friday and got my order the very next day on Saturday! I also ordered coupons on Saturday and got them ON MONDAY!!! They are FAST!!!

I really don't feel like you can go wrong by ordering from these ladies. Go on over here and check them out, I really don't think you will be disappointed.

Last year, 2010, I have been searched all year long and have saved up my Swag Bucks for Christmas. For me, I only redeemed a portion of mine, but it was $50 worth! I was able to score a nice Christmas gift for my daughter with this. So, depending on how much you search and take part in some of the other ways to earn Swag Bucks your value could be more or less than mine! That was an "extra" 50 bucks that I did not have to come up with! I love it!

Update-Walmart Movie Tickets for Cars 2

Remember the promo for the free Cars 2 movie tickets through Walmart that I told you about a few weeks back? Did you get in on the action? Did you happen to use more than one Facebook account to score more than two? I did, as I have more than two kiddos. This was going to be a GREAT way to take my family to the movies for a "frugal" price. I think it was going to cost us $0.50 each, which I think is a GREAT deal to go have a good time and be with our family. There was a limit of two tickets per Facebook account. Remember? Anyway, well I got the most embarrassing/irritating e-mail the other day. Wonderin' if you got it too? Here's what it says.....

Our fraud department has red-flagged your activity in the Wal-Mart/Facebook Cars 2 promotion due to the unusually high number of codes that you have acquired and activated. When suspicious activity is detected, we are required by our clients and by our bank to seek further review to check for potential fraud.
According to the rules and restrictions of this promotion, the offer was limited to only two rewards per Facebook account. Our records indicate that you have registered more than two rewards codes and have acquired multiple movie certificates. Your actions are against the restrictions of this promotional offer. Please note, all of the rewards you have activated have been blocked and those movie certificates are no longer valid.
Hollywood Movie Money Customer Service

So, after being accused of fraud which was, like I said, both VERY embarrassing/irritating as I try very hard to play by the rules and not do anything wrong on purpose. Seriously, I have to set a good example for my children and it just plain is not right not to follow rules (this is my opinion). Yes, I am a rule follower and I am VERY literal when it comes to rules. So, this really really irked me. Anyway, here's my response......

This is totally untrue. I am quite appalled by this email and quite offended to be accused of such action! We have three facebook accounts in our house and we were able to get six tickets. As per your e-mail and rules of the promo, two per Facebook account was offered and two per Facebook account was accepted. I don't understand where "fraud" comes into play here. We did no such thing.
Maybe look into things a little more before sending (computer generated or not) such an e-mail out. Wasn't even going to use them anyway!

Yes, I know it sounds like I was throwing a fit. I WAS!!! ☺ Usually when it comes to stuff like this I try to take a minute/day and calm down before sending a response. Well, as you can tell.......I didn't. Yeah, I know I said that I "wasn't going to use them anyway," but I have a reason for that. It's not showing at my theater anymore. So, really, that was easy. ☺ Anyway, I was super duper ticked and really offended. As I'm sure some of you would be. So, here's the response I got in my e-mail this morning....

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for explaining the situation further. The Disney/Pixar’s Cars 2 movie certificates you activated will be reinstated and ready to use within 24 hours at a participating theater again.
Please note your certificates expire August 31, 2011, no refunds or reimbursements will be made and the certificates are void if resold. Your certificates are ONLY valid to see Disney/Pixar’s Cars 2 and ID will be required at the box office for use. These certificates are not valid for online purchase and will be deemed invalid by the sponsor if used for anything other than an admission to Disney/Pixar’s Cars 2 at participating theater box offices.
If you have any further questions, please let us know.
Hollywood Movie Money Customer Service.

Okay, so I'm feeling a little bit better now. Things are okay. I'm not being accused of fraud anymore, which is always nice. ☺ Still not going to use the tickets, but I feel a little better. Not sure that I would use the tickets, given the opportunity to? I know people/companies have to be on the watch for dishonesty, but really do they need to be so nasty? I'm really not sure how they are supposed to put a positive spin on the word fraud, but sometimes I wish we didn't have to be nasty when trying to look into things, if that's what they were trying to do.

Anyway, my whole point of sharing this with you, as I didn't really want to share it with anyone (IT'S EMBARRASSING), is to not be surprised if you get/got such an e-mail (if you got tickets from more than one Facebook account). Just reply back to them with your response and hopefully things will be better.

Thank you and good luck! ☺

JCPenny $10/25 (NO EXCLUSIONS)

It looks like JCPenny has a coupon in the ad that looks to be coming out today, in the paper. It will be for $10 off of a $25 purchase or more. It is ONLY valid today, 8/12, and tomorrow, 8/13. Wonder if we could use it with the deal that we were able to purchase this week? You know the $50 voucher that was as low as 15-bucks? Hmmmm.....I know that the voucher was only for online purchases, but THERE is a coupon code for online too. I guess we'll see. Anyway, you can also get this deal of $10 off of a purchase of $25 or more online too, just use coupon code INSCHOOL. Both of these coupons are also good for 10% off of all furniture and mattresses, either or.

They also have FREE shipping right now on order of $49 or more, which would work great with that savings voucher from earlier this week! ☺
Oh, by the way, I'm sure these ads will be available in the store if you do not get the paper. They usually are pretty good about having them available for use in the store too.

Thanks!

Good morning!

As you can tell, I was still very much so in the vacation mentality last week.I had the hardest time working and blogging. I also came back to a boat load of work and had a hard time keeping up. Well, I'm back today and hopefully will be able to juggle things a little better this week.

Anyway, Faith is officially now 7 years old. Wow! I can't believe how time flies. She had her 7th birthday this weekend and got to celebrate with all of her friends and family. So fun!

Anyway, happy Tuesday!

Zumba

Reminder....
Going to Zumba this afternoon (Tuesday), from 1:30 to 2:30. It's here in the valley AND they have FREE childcare too. Let me know if you want to tag-a-long and we can meet up, and I will give you some directions. Maybe you are not ready to tag-a-long and just kinda want to go check it out by yourself, that's fine too. It is at The Intersection (yes, that is the name of the church) on McDonald and Broadway....Oh, the cost is FREE or you can donate a buck or so, as they have a donation jar. Not very many people go to this class, so if you are afraid of a big crowd, this one is probably a GREAT one for you to get started at. Like I have said before, this is an WOMEN ONLY class, and there are women of all different shapes, colors, sizes, capabilities, and needs that attend this class. It is such a welcoming environment, and REALLY fun too! ☺ Also, instructor Angela is AWESOME.

So, if you want to come.....e-mail me and I will get you the info.... frugal mom 1 @ live dot com.

Come on......Come and join THE Zumba party!!!! ☺

Seriously....it is so fun, once you try it you will be hooked. ☺
