Cheap Canvases at Eversave

I've been in the market for some "cheap" canvases, and I just found a deal on Eversave that I couldn't pass up! I got a voucher for two 16x20 canvases for only $49 + free shipping! Plum District has a similar deal going on right now, but theirs is significantly more expensive ($39 for one 16x20 + $14 shipping). So if you're like me and wanting to turn some of those amazing vacation pics into some wall art - this may be the deal for you! Click here to take a look!

Cheap/Free Ways to Rack-up Swagbucks!

1) Download the Hotels.com ap on your iPhone and you'll get 45 swagbucks

2) Sign-up for Savingstar for free (an online e-coupon service that I LOVE) and you'll get 23 swagbucks

3) Sign-up for Plum District (an online deal site like groupon, living social, etc.) and make a purchase to get 315 swagbucks! Also - when you make that purchase, use code LONDON20 to get 20% off!

4) If you've never used Vista Print before, order some free personalized note cards - or any number of other free things (you will have to pay shipping), and get 450 swagbucks! That's enough for a $5 amazon.com gift card. So whatever you have to pay on shipping will be off-set by the $5 gift card!

Your first month will be completely free - just be sure to keep it for at least 3 days before you cancel (if you intend to do so). I'll warn you: I registered for Netflix a year ago when they did a promotion like this - intending to cancel it after a few weeks. .  . but did not! It's a wonderful service and very cheap! We eventually cut off our direct tv and just used Netflix!

It's as simple or intense as you want it to be, so just take some time to look through their site and you should get a good idea of how it works.

Minted

Minted: Unique and modern personalized stationery. Printed on luxe paper and delivered in an embossed white gift box.

I was recently reminded how much I love this site and the quality of their products. I've bought their calling cards, journals, return address labels, and stationery and loved it all. Click here to get a $25 credit towards your first order! Plus, use code GIFTS10 to get 10% off of any 3 gift items (journals, stationery, return address labels, etc.). Or, use code SUMMERFUN to get 15% off all baby and kids products! 

Idea: I love giving their personalized stationery as gifts. There is very little substitution for a nicely hand-written note on fine monogrammed stationery. It's a luxury that we rarely afford ourselves.

Staples Loot

I don't have a picture, but I wanted to let you know about my fantastic run to Staples this evening! Here's what I got:

(2) Roseart Crayons (24 pack) - $.01

(2) Bic Roundstick (10 pack) - $.01

(2) Staples Brand School Glue - $.01

(4) Sharpwriter Mechanical Pencils (10 pack) - $.25  (regularly $3.49 each)

(4) Really Useful Boxes - $.25 (regularly $1.00 each)

(1) 2013 Desktop Calendar - $4.99

(2) Reams of 8.5" x 11" Staples Copy-paper - $6.99

(1) Staples Handy File - $10.49

(1) Staples 3-Tab File Folders - $5.29

(1) Scotch Super Glue - $2.99

(1) Sharpie Fine Markers (5 pack) - $1.00 (regularly $4.79)

Minus 5% for using my Staples Reward Card

Minus $4.00 ink reward coupon I had from turning in an old cartridge

Plus $2.53 in Sales Tax = $37.43

I then went to stapleseasyrebates.com and entered in my rebate information (it was so easy, that I was able to do it while having a fairly serious phone conversation with a close friend). I will receive three rebate checks back:

$13.48 - for the 2 reams of paper (making them only $.25 each)
$4.99 - for the Desktop Calendar (making it free)
$2.99 - for the Super Glue (making it free)
Total Refund: $21.76

Total Net Spent: $15.67

Interesting Note: I needed the Handy File and 3-Tab File Folders that were not on sale, nor did I have coupons for those! Just those two things were $15.78 - my 5% discount + sales tax. Basically what that means is that since I had the $4 coupon, I paid for those two essential items - and then got everything else for free! I hope you can see that you can literally walk into Staples - and come out with about $52.19 for about $3-4. Keep in mind that you do have to pay for the easy rebate items up-front, and then wait for your rebate check to arrive (normally about 4-6 weeks). So much fun! I felt like a kid in a candy store! :-)

Yankee Candle Coupon

Love, love, love Yankee Candles! I've tried others (really good quality ones, too) - and nothing seems to be as fragrant as a Yankee Candle. My favorite scent is still the Cucumber Melon! Anyway - just ran across this coupon (thans hip2save.com) for $10 off of $25 purchase! This coupon can be used at Bed, Bath, and Beyond as well as a lot of other retailers. What I don't know if is BB&B will take this coupon as well as one of their own store coupons?!?!!?! I will look into that and let you know! If so, this could make for a really cheap Yankee Candle!!!
