I love that sentiment sticker! – and then added a “grandma” sticker to personalize it. Again, one that doesn’t have to be for Mother’s Day, but that’s what we used it for. A lot of distressing on this one. Sometimes I forget about that technique and make up for lost time and go overboard with it – ha! Have a goodie!
Got another Mother’s Day card today. I suppose this doesn’t have to be for Mother’s Day, but that’s what we used it for. It’s so funny because I make cards, I refuse to let my husband buy me cards so I had him and the kids digging through my cards to see what they could use for me for Mother’s Day. I got one that said “love you, forever” and a couple that were family-themed. Kinda makes me giggle getting cards that I made. But because I’m cheap like that I just am not cool with the expense when we have a freakin’ Hallmark store in my room.
Anywho. A subtle, springy card for grandma.
I get a fair amount of questions here and in e-mails from people wanting to know how to save on healthier and/or organic items. Today I have one way that you can do just that. Vitacost is a healthy living online store that has whatever-friendly household items, and they also carry raw/organic/gluten-free, etc. foods. Not only that, but they’ve got a great little promo right now where you can get $10 off your first order.
I looked up some prices and put together a great little first order….:
Bob’s Red Mill wheat bran, white flour, wheat flour, wheat hot cereal, corn flour, and baking soda. This comes to $11.67. Less your $10 and it’s $1.67. Then you add shipping which looks to be $4.99 for most orders and that makes it $6.66. Just $6.66 for the (6) items shipped to your door! Price these items at your local grocery store and I guarantee you it’ll be at least double the prices you see above.
All you have to do is sign up HERE. After going through the link, click on the “Click Here Now” link and create a new account. After creating your account, you should get a message thanking you and saying that your $10 code is on the way.
A little while later, you should receive an email from Vitacost with a $10-off exclusive coupon code. The email will have the subject line “Here’s your $10 Coupon for Vitacost.com.” This coupon code will need to be pasted in the “Promo Code” box under the payment info section during checkout.
Now I’m not sure how long this promo will last, so I would probably sign up now to secure your $10 and then you can wait a bit to place your order. I can never wait though, this kinda stuff burns a hole in my pocket. I did hear that the code is only good for like a month, so don’t let it go to waste!
Lemme know what kinda deal you work!
Happy Monday! – did all the mamas out there have a great day? Mine was kick back. A little couponing and a lot of lazying around. My son brought home a dead squirrel from the park “to get it out of the way.” And the husband and kids told me to enjoy a Sunday nap – so I did. And when I woke up, my son came in with shorts that had the entire butt ripped out along with his underwear torn up after climbing someone’s fence. Nice. Great Mother’s Day *giggles* Hope yours was great.
So I have some more Mother’s Day cards to share still this week. This card though, I have to admit – I lost it. I actually really like the orange and pink thing, but I have no idea what happened to the card so I guess it’ll be for next year. Cheers to the new week!
Happy Sunday – and Happy Mother’s Day to all you mamas out there!
I’m back with my weekly Sunday couponing post. Now, truth in advertising: this is from before I went on vacation. I have not made one trip to the grocery store since we got back. Which I guess is a testament to couponing and stockpiling because the only thing we have needed is milk which my husband has gone and picked up. There were no double coupon promos this past week, but *fingers crossed* they are coming back soon because I am jonesin’ go get back in the game 
Alright – we’re starting with Albertsons. Cat treats were $1 each, doubled $1-off-2 and they were free. We don’t have a cat, but I found this place in town that is a cat refuge/adoption place and we are going to donate these.
More Albertsons goodies – they had one of their promos that is a little complicated to explain, but you buy x amount of a product and you get x amount back to use on your next order. And because the way it comes out is a manufacturer coupon, you can actually double what they gave you back.
So – free veggies and free Nivea lip balm.
And the big wahoo at Albies this particular week: moneymaking marshmallows. Ohhh yeah. We are stocked for camping, and summer salads. All on the free. Again part of the promo where you got money back which you could double. If I remember right I ended up making 80-cents for every (2) bags of marshmallows.
And then I took those Catalinas and doubled them and used them on things that I can’t get coupons for – produce – and things that were on their clearance rack – raisins, crackers…and we needed the sweetened condensed milk. So all this was free too.
And a small trip to the Walmart for free pads, free toothpaste, free Mentos gum, and new Nabisco thins that were $3.50 but I doubled $1 and paid $1.50 for each.
These air purifiers were $15 and I had coupons for $10 off any…so I paid $5 for these.
Thinking we’ll use one in the house and one in the trailer.
