Target Daily Deal: Kids Champion Athletic Shoes $14.99 Shipped!

Click to View Disclosure Statement

 

Oh my goodness, my crazy children are forever ruining shoes!  Gone are the days when they didn’t want to get in the mud.  Now, they ‘d roll in it if I’d let them.   Combine that with the simple fact that they don’t seem to care WHERE they remove them, and well, it’s just ridiculous.  Plain and simple.  I can NEVER find their shoes.  Well, that, and they blend in with the surroundings if they’re outside.  :/  Thank goodness I don’t pay too much for them.  ”But I thought you were loyal to Stride Rites?”, you say.  Yes, if you know me, you know how I feel about Stride Rites.   Well, I’m going to pick up a couple pair of supplemental shoes because, like I said, I can’t  keep up with these tasmanian devils!

Enter Target.  One of today’s Daily Deals is for C9 by Champion Athletic shoes starting at $14.99.  As always, because this is a Daily Deal, they will ship free.   The girls $14.99 shoes have sold out, so only boys are left at that price.  The Girls C9 by Champion Mako athletic shoes are still available for $18.74 – still a bargain under $20.    Sizes are getting limited, so you don’t want to wait until the end of the day to take advantage of this deal.

 

Remember to use your Target RedCard to save an additional 5% on your order.

Target RedCard Information
Since many of you have asked, Target Redcards aren’t necessarily credit cards.  When you fill out the application, you have the option of choosing a Target Credit Card or Debit Card.

You’ll see an image like this one above, but the Debit Card option will be faint.  Click on it to highlight it, as I’ve done in the above photo, to obtain an application for a Target Debit Card that links to your checking account.  That way, you won’t be taking on a Target credit card with a high rate of interest.  Personally, I think it’s worth it to take the time and do this.  You’ll save 5% on all your orders in-store and on Target.com.  And when you shop online, you’ll  get free shipping on any size order.  There are no membership fees associated with participating.    And while I don’t know this part for certain, it seems that if you participate in this program (or another Target card program), it MAY put you on a mailing list to receive Target coupon booklets.  As you know, those stack nicely with manufacturer coupons.  Finally, I often see nice clearance deals at Target online.  This will allow you to take advantage of those without the minimum $50 purchase.

FYI: Target is not currently accepting applications for the Target Visa card.

What’s New With The Blog? Matchups Button!

Click to View Disclosure Statement

You know I don’t like a lot of non-useful busy-busy ads and things on the site.  I did want an easy way for you to get straight to the match-ups without using the dropdown menu. Now, all you have to do is click the button on the main page of the site (under the coupon database button) that looks just like the one above and you’ll be taken to all the latest match-ups for each store.  I’m thinking it may be better if that took you to a SHORT store menu and you could choose each store from there.  Yes/No?  Lemme know!  Either way, it’s just another way I’m determined to make YOUR site a bit more user friendly.

Next up?  YouTube…

Groupon: $2 for $5 at Blockbuster Express!

Click to View Disclosure Statement

This deal has been coming and going for such a long time now, but with the changes to Blockbuster Express’ rentals (i.e. no more freebies), discounts on rentals are getting harder to come by.   Doggone it, sometimes you just want to rent a movie!  Well, this fab Groupon  makes it a little bit less costly to do so.  For just $2,  you’ll receive FIVE $1 vouchers toward any movie rental at a Blockbuster Express kiosk.

All you have to do is enter your Groupon rental code at a kiosk or reserve online. You will be required to swipe a credit or debit card to pay the difference on a $2-$3 rental or purchase additional nights for a $1 rental.  Remember, you can conveniently return your rental to any Blockbuster Express kiosk.  Also, if you forget to return it or decide to keep it an additional evening, you’ll be charged the rental fee plus tax (per day), but nothing more – no penalty fees on top of the cost of rental per day.

Deets: Expires 5/1/13.  Limit one per person, but may buy more as gifts.  Valid at any kiosk or blockbusterexpress.com.  Each promo code applied to the first night rental charge and only one promo code may be used per transactions.  May use over multiple visits.  Groupon reverts to paid value after 5/1/13, except where prohibited.   

Babies R Us: $10 For BRU Box of Diapers AND Wipes! (Select Sizes) ShopRunner Ships FREE!

Click to View Disclosure Statement

Babies R Us has a very nice deal on their diaper brand.  Sizes are limited, but if you’re in the market for sizes 1-3, this deal may be for you!   You can pick up a BOX of Babies R Us diapers and a BOX of wipes for $10ish shipped (depending on tax amt).

First,  select a Babies R Us $10 Special Value Package of diapers in sizes 1-3 (76-96ct).  While it appears that you can purchase size 6, you can’t.  It’s not part of the *Save $10 with purchase* eligible items.

Next, select a Babies R Us box of wipes in unscented or scented 432ct for $9.99.

When you add both of these items, the price for the wipes will show up as zero.   That’ll make both of them just $10 + tax.

To get the best deal, you’ll need a ShopRunner membership to get free shipping, as they’re all ineligible for in-store pick-up.

Start with Ebates to receive 1% cash back on your order.

Click to View Disclosure Statement

Wake up, my fellow movie lovers and coffee fans!  Plum District is offering the $20 Starbucks gift card and 2 Fandango movie tickets for just $28 again.  Since each movie ticket is valued up to $12, that means you’re picking them up for $4 each.

Deets: Plum Dollars may not be used to purchase this deal.  You cannot earn any additional dollars for referring your  friends either.  Redeemable 48 hrs after purchase.  Both are e-Gift codes received via e-mail.  Limit 10 per household.

For the Fandango tickets: They have no stated value and cannot be refunded after the expiration date.  Both tickets must be purchased together in the same transaction for the same movie and showtime.  Excludes IMAX.  Additional details available on purchase page.

Amazon Deals: Q-Tips, Farmer’s Market Pumpkin, Duracell Batteries and a Few More!

Here’s a round-up of some of the best deals on Amazon right now.

 

Grove Square Cappuccino Cups, French Vanilla, Single Serve Cup for Keurig K-Cup Brewers, 24-Count are $11.01 with Subscribe & Save.   A good price for K-Cups should be under $0.50ea.  This works out to  $0.45ea.  If you aren’t familiar with this brand, there are 58 reviews with an average of 3 & 1/2 stars.

Q-tips Swab, 1875-Count are $9.15 with Subscribe & Save.  There are three packages of  625 and that works out to $3.05/package.

Farmers Market Organic Pumpkin, 15-Ounce (Pack of 12) is $19.03 with Subscribe & Save.  That’s $1.59 per can for Organic Pumpkin in BPA free cans.

Jif Creamy Reduced Fat Peanut Butter Spread, 18-Ounce (Pack of 6) is $14.53 with Subscribe & Save.  That works out to $2.42/jar.

Amazon Program Information Refresher
Understanding these Amazon programs can be confusing, so I though it might be nice to break them down a bit for you.

Some items are available through the Subscribe & Save program.  What that means is that you select shipments at regular intervals (every 1-6 months) and you’ll receive the item at the 15% discounted price.  Additionally, all subscriptions ship free.  If you don’t want to bother with regular shipments (the prices do fluctuate), sign up to receive the shipment you want and cancel (with no penalty) when you’ve received your order.

Alternatively, all items can be shipped free with Amazon Prime as well. You can sign up for a free trial membership and cancel before you are charged the annual fee, if you choose.

I am a member of the Amazon Mom program and I love it.  I get exclusive discounts of 15% on select items (diapers, wipes, etc.) on top of the 15% Subscribe and Save discount, and they often have coupons that I can stack on top of these discounts!  Also, with Amazon Mom you have the added bonus of Amazon Prime shipping for the first three months that gets renewed for an additional month (up to one year from sign-up) for every $25 spent in a single order in the Baby Store.

Amazon Student is free for, well, college students by providing a school and major.  You get Amazon Prime free shipping for one year.  You must have a .edu email address to confirm.
