My son is gearing up for soccer and a whole host of other outdoor activities this summer. With that in mind, I’m going to need new shin guards, athletic shoes, and who knows what else!   If you’re new to Onsale.com and in the market for athletic equipment, even just bike helmets, this offer definitely helps take the sting out of these purchases.

First time buyers can pick up a $25 Sports Authority Gift Card for just $18 and it ships FREE.  You can use your gift card online or at any nationwide location.  Plus, you can use your gift card with some current coupons.  Right now, Sports Authority has two great coupons good through 5/31/12, so they’ll still be available by the time you receive your gift card.  The first will take $10 off a $50 purchase and the second will deduct $20 off a $100 purchase.  When you consider the value of your gift card versus the amount you paid PLUS the coupon, you’ll save a total of  $17 on a $50 purchase.  That’s a substantial saving opportunity!  If you’re interested, you’ll have to hurry and purchase this today.  It’s only available until 11:59PDT tonight, April 18th!

Deets:
As with all Sports Authority coupons, there are exclusions, so you’ll want to make sure you understand those before you choose your items.  

Gift Card Deets:
Offer exclusively for new customers to OnSale.com.  Previous purchases from www.onsale.com and store.onsale.com do NOT qualify for this promotion.  Limit one per customer, shipping address billing address and household.  Card will be shipped first class within 7-10 business days to your credit card billing address.  For different shipping address, please call 1-888-760-0300 within 24 hours to change the address accordingly.  Cards shipped to addresses within the 50 states of the US.

One Friday each month (sometimes more), it’s pizza night.  I’m telling you, there is no dinner holiday I look more forward to staring in the face….not because I love pizza that much.  I do, but cooking is such drudgery sometimes.  That said, OnSale.com has a nice discounted gift card deal for Domino’s for new customers.  $5.99 will get a $10  gift card that you can use on Domino’s new American Legend’s Specialty pizzas, Oven Baked Sandwiches, BreadBowl Pasta’s and dessert.  I would love to live in carb heaven with that BreadBowl Pasta, but I may not be able to write any posts for several days afterward.  For 40% off, I’d be able to live with that.

Note: This deal is only available until tomorrow, so grab a nice lunch or dinner discount while you can.

Deets: New customers only.  One Gift Card per customer, per address, per credit card billing and household.  Email confirmation within 24-48 hours with a coupon code for gift card.  To change your shipping address, call 1-888-760-0300 within 24 hours of purchase to avoid delays.  If you’re purchasing as a gift, please contact them within 24 hours to provide recipient’s shipping information.  

Flowers are so expensive!  If you’re planning to buy any for Valentine’s Day or any occasion actually – new baby, Mother’s Day, etc., you may want to pick up this deal at OnSale.com.  It’s definitely worth keeping around since the promotional value is good through 5/21/12 – giving you lots of time to use it.

They’re offering  $12 for $40 Value  in Fresh Flowers, Bouquets, Gift Baskets, and more delivered anywhere in the US by Flowers Nationwide.  I checked it out and they’ve got several average priced arrangements starting at $39.99, so this will make a nice dent in that total.  I worked up a mock order with them and the service fee was $15.99 (Michigan).  Your fee may vary, but this is pretty standard for my area.

Deets: Paid value never expires.  Promo value expires 5/21/12.  This cannot be used with other offers, products or services.  Unlimited coupons available for individual purchase and you may buy additional as gifts.  One coupon per order.  Holiday orders MUST be placed 10 days in advance.  Online purchasing only.  Shipping & tax not included and shipping prices vary by region. 

With all the great sales Toys R Us has been offering lately, this is sure to come in very handy!  And if you have a ShopRunner membership, it’s even better for you.  You can use your gift card online and get free shipping!

Downside?  This offer is available for new customers of OnSale.com.  Therefore, if you’ve purchased any deals I’ve highlighted in the past, you’re ineligible.

If that’s not you, keep reading!  While supplies last, OnSale.com is offering a $10 gift card to Toys R Us for just $5!  I’m sure this will sell out, so pick it up quickly.

First, the deets on the TRU gift card deal: New customers only.  Only 1 gift card per customer, shipping address, credit card billing and household.  OnSale will ship your gift card via first class mail within 7-10 business days to your credit card billing address.  If you’d like it to be shipped elsewhere, please call 18887600300 to change the mailing address within 24 hours of purchase.   

Also, look around and see if there’s anything else that interests you on the site.  They’re offering a free Restaurant.com $100 gift card code with a $30 purchase in deals.

One of those is a  Destination Maternity gift card for just $18.99 for $25 value at Pea In The Pod, Motherhood Maternity and Destination Maternity Stores.

They’ve also got a nice $20 for $40 deal at Salmon Cove.  You could purchase the Toys R Us deal and this one and get the free $100 Restaurant.com code.  To me, that seems like the best deal.

Thanks, Money Saving Mom!

It’s the time of year when the daily deals tend to get a little bit better.  In looking around OnSale, I saw a few that are good, different deals, but deviate from MY super cheap nature.  If you’re on a very strict budget, always weigh the cost very carefully before you purchase.

First, I really like this offer from Magic Kitchen.  You’ll get $50 worth of prepared gourmet meals for $15.  They also have a promotion that will get you a $10 gift card to CVS with any $10 purchase from OnSale.  That makes this just $5 for $50 in food.  Now, here’s what I like about Magic Kitchen.   They use quality produce and ingredients to make a huge variety of dishes.  You can choose from gourmet dinner selections that are relatively inexpensive like Beef Stroganoff or Chicken Marsala.  Breakfast meals range from single items like Blueberry Blintzes or Spinach Quiches to fully inclusive packages with pancakes, sausage, egg, omelets, toast and more.  They also have a full Thanksgiving turkey dinner for 6  It is steep at $159.99.  In addition, they also have Senior, Low Sodium, Diabetic Friendly, Renal or Dialysis meals and more.  Here’s what I’m thinking…do you have an elderly or housebound neighbor you adore?  Or like me, one you just feel compelled to help?  Perhaps send them a gift like this for the holidays.  Maybe you have a friend who is expecting or just had a baby?  Perhaps this would be a nice baby shower gift to be used while she’s attempting to survive those sleepless nights, so she doesn’t have to cook.  Maybe you have a friend or family member just had surgery or you know someone with a death in the family.  The cost of shipping on this deal isn’t cheap, by any stretch, but it is a thoughtful gift and the cost is reduced significantly when you figure that you’re only spending $5 for $50 in food + the cost of shipping.

Deets: Paid value never expires.  Promotional value expires 5/2/12.  Limit 3 coupons per customer, may buy 3 as gifts.  Online purchase only.  Products delivered through UPS or Fedex within 1-3 days.   

We can also get $24 in chocolate from Chocolate.com for just $12 or $2 after considering the $10 CVS gift card.  In checking out the prices for included items in the promotion, the champagne chocolates are $24, so just $2 after the voucher and gift card.  Shipping to me in Michigan is $15, so that’s a box of gourmet chocolates for $17 shipped.  That’s certainly not a bad deal either.

Deets:  Paid value never expires, but promotional value expires 11/9/12.  Shipping and handling NOT included and cannot be used with other products, services or offers.  Phone or online purchases only.  Coupon must be used in one purchase and only one coupon  is allowed per purchase.  Delivery is via UPS.  Gift certificate purchases not valid.  Only select products qualify.  

Finally, if you love Blue Crab, you can get $60 worth from the Blue Crab Trading Company for just $20 after the gift card.  This nice package comes with two crab knives, two mallets, one pound of crab seasoning and 1 –  4 foot section of crab paper.

Deets: The paid value never expires, but the promotional value expires 5/8/12.  You may purchas an unlimited number of coupons and buy additional as gifts.  Online purchases only and shipping is not included.  Orders subject to weather conditions. 

They have several other deals as well like $6.99 for $10 Boston Market gift card with free shipping, jewelry, framing, canvas portraits (3 to choose from) and even a $300 suit for $90 after the gift card from Knot Standard.

Boy, every time I see *new members only* I think of the Sam’s Club/Costco members only samples.  Both make me want to kick a trash can!     If you’re lucky enough to be in the *new member* category, you can pick up a $10 Burger King Crown Card (Gift Card) for $6.99 at OnSale.com!  If you’re wondering…30% off, worth it?  Well, ignoring  tax, you can figure you’re paying $0.70 for each Dollar Menu item.  Since I don’t see any restrictions against using coupons along with the card, you can certainly stack those for additional savings!  I think that’s a great deal and fab Halloween gift idea  for a child when paired with a Burger King Halloween treat booklet.

Deets: New Customers ONLY.  One BK Crown Card per customer, shipping address, credit card billing and household.  Your card will be shipped by first class mail within 7-10 business days to your credit card billing address.  If you’d like to ship to a different location, you can contact them at 1-888-760-0300 within 24 hours to avoid any delay in shipment.

OnSale has another deal that I’m going to be purchasing just as soon as I finish this post. $1.00 for $20 in baby care or cleaning products?   Yep, I’m in.  BabyGanics has all kinds of  baby friendly, all natural cleaning and personal care products that are made for use around children.   They have a couple of Baby Care bundle packages for $29.95.  Here’s what I’m thinking: Shipping is $3.99-$4.99  for orders under $28 and free with purchase of $28 or more.  I’m going to pick up the bundle package for $29.95 and deduct the $20 to get all of it for $9.95.  Seems like  a pretty good deal to try something new!

Deets: Paid value never expires, but the $20 promotional value expires 2/1/12.  Limit ONE per customer, per shipping address, per credit card.  New clients ONLY.  Shipping is $3.99-$4.99 for orders under $28 and free with $28 or more.  The code is redeemable 2 business days after purchase.
