Monday, March 19, 2012 at 7:14pm by Melissa Leave a Comment

New Stuff

I hadn’t planned to put together any office supply deals, but you asked! You know I love to help, so here you go!

Old Stuff

If you aren’t signed up with Staples Rewards, you can do that HERE. In addition to deals like these, you’ll get 10% back in Staples Rewards on ALL ink & toner, case and ream paper and Copy & Print purchases. You can also earn 10% back on qualifying purchases when you earn at least $10 in Rewards in a calendar quarter! These are some really great benefits for things we use all the time!

Deets: Staples Rewards cannot be redeemed for or applied against cash, taxes, credit remittance, delivery charges, custom printing orders, promotional products, gift cards, phone cards, postage stamps or prior purchases. Purchase eligible for Rewards is the amount paid at checkout after all promotions, coupons or Rewards redemption. Therefore, if you want the full $12.99, don’t use any coupons or Rewards.

Rewards are issued monthly when the value is at least $10. They expire no less than 60 days after they’re issued. Monthly balances under $20 roll to the next month until the minimum is met. If it is not met by the end of the quarter, the amount expires. Limit one Staples Reward account per person or mailing address.

You may have noticed that sale items vary by location, so please verify that these sales are consistent with your ad and that the prices are valid for your area before you shop. Final note: Some stores take coupons, some don’t, so make sure you check into that before you shop as well.

If you’re a teacher, show your school ID and you can increase your purchase quantity to 25. Parents of homeschoolers can make their child’s ID card HERE – free to print, among many other places.

You can submit your Easy Rebate Information HERE.

Cabin Fever: Homemade Sidewalk Paint!

Monday, March 19, 2012 at 5:00pm by Melissa Leave a Comment

Our weather is so wonderful. It’s March. It’s almost 80. This is Michigan. I’m scared. The trees have taken on a wonderful kelly green hue and the grass is looking less like straw by the minute. And so I wait….wait for the potential frost or snow that may attempt to end it all. I expect that I’ll soon be scurrying around the yard with my husband, covering my hibiscus, hydrangeas, and lilies. I’m a little neurotic about my plants, and I love our yard. And you know, I love our fabulous driveway, too. It was a point I noted when we hadn’t yet bought the house. ”It’s a nice driveway for the kids to ride their bikes up and down.”, I said. And now? Boy, do they ever. Homemade Sidewalk Paint has a way of making our driveway a nifty canvas, too. And whether you’ve got a big driveway or small, this fabulous mixture will bring hours of artistic fun for your little ones. Best of all? It’s totally safe. Lately, that means everything, doesn’t it?

Homemade Sidewalk Paint
1/2 cup Cornstarch
1/2 cup Water
Food Coloring
Assorted Paintbrushes

Directions:
Mix water and cornstarch as well as possible. Nope, nothing’s perfect here.
Divide into 1/4 cup portions. You can use whatever container you have. Ziploc storage containers work just fine for this.
Tint each portion a different color and mix well.
You’re ready to paint.

Tips:

If you still have some left over, put it into spray bottles and use it for that next snowy snap. It makes great tinted snowballs or snow, if you only have a dusting.

My kids like to make highway lanes with arrows to follow around. Yep, they like to play traffic. Hmmpf, you can bet I’ll remind them of that when they’re moaning and groaning about it someday. ;)

Rite Aid Tip: Neosporin Essentials To Bump Wellness + Points!

Monday, March 19, 2012 at 1:12pm by Melissa Leave a Comment

For some reason, we’ve got a lot of new Rite Aid shoppers! I’m definitely not complaining. Ya know, it’s still my favorite store. And because it seems I’m getting a lot of questions (and complaints) about the Wellness + program, accruing points, and slogging toward the coveted 20% Gold discount, I thought I’d give you a quick tip to help you get there a teensy bit faster.

From March 18th-March 26th, there is a try me free rebate available for the Neosporin Essentials Trial Pack up to $15. I don’t know how much it retails for at Rite Aid, but you’ll get at least $10 toward your point total (depending on price) and have spent nothing or made money on the product in the end. Worth it? Definitely. It’s where I’m picking mine up this week.

Note: You can pick it up anywhere and submit for the rebate. This offers you the opportunity to build your points as well. Just a thought!

Dealie:
1 – Neosporin Essentials Trial Pack $12-$14
Use:
1 – $5.00/1 HERE
Pay: $7-$9
Submit for MIR
Final after MIR: Possible $5 Moneymaker!

Feel Good Fix: FREE 5×7 Photo Books for Military! Free Shipping!

Monday, March 19, 2012 at 11:31am by Melissa 5 Comments

This may be one of the best Feel Good Fixes EVER! While they usually involve a donation in exchange for clicking or liking, we all know that there is so much more to life than money. I’ve got to say – It rarely gets better than this.

The USO and RocketLife have partnered to offer a FREE 20 page personal photo book that ships to ANY US military address (APO, FPO or MPO) to a service member stationed abroad for free. They’re softcover 5×7 books that fit perfectly in a soldier’s cargo pocket and hold up to 60 photos. RocketLife prints the book for free and the USO covers the cost of shipping.

All you have to do is click the *Get Your Promo Code* button and fill out the form with the destination shipping address (APO/FPO or MPO) to request your Promo Code. The code is only valid for that particular address. From there, launch the software to upload and create the photo book.

There is no login, password or further information required from you. Go and get your fix!

Thanks so much, Rebecca!

Reminder/New to You: When you see a post titled *Feel Good Fix*, you can be sure it is a good way to make a donation to a worthy cause. Generally, this can be done with just a click of your mouse! Many times, organizations have promotions on Facebook or the web where all you have to do is like them or make a comment and they’ll donate something on your behalf – food, money, water and many other things. I try to profile at least one a week, sometimes more!
