Create the Perfect Holiday Card with Shutterfly

With Halloween literally JUST around the corner it's that time of year to begin searching for the PERFECT Holiday card!  And of course, where else would I look but SHUTTERFLY to help me on this venture.  With 247 different designs you are sure to find one that is perfect for your holiday card.  Whether you want to wish others a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or a Happy New Year you are in luck!  Shutterfly makes it so easy to find just what you are looking for.  You can choose the color, how many pictures, what size card you would like, and even between a flat or a folded card to help narrow down your search.  Using these search items I was able to narrow my choices down to these 3!  

This is the Mod Ornaments Card.  I just thought it was so different!  I hadn't seen one like this.  It's a 5x7 Flat Stationary Card and would be perfect if you have just ONE family photo you were wanting to share this season. 

Snowflake Reflections is my next favorite!  (I think this one will be the one I use) I like to show off more than just one picture of my family, and this is the perfect way to do so with a 5x7 collage of 6 different photos!

HoHo Christmas is such a cute choice if you have kids, especially 3 kids!  Since there are three circle photo slots for each child.  It would be perfect! 

Give Shutterfly Holiday Cards a shot for your cards this year!  You WON'T be disappointed.  Whether you need business or family cards- check them out! :)

I wanted to make mention of a few new websites that are worth a visit. 

First up would have to be GROUPON.  There is a different deal every day.  You can subscribe to whatever city you would like(or multiple cities like I do) and receive daily emails about the newest deal.  Deals can be up to 90% off retail price and the deal could be for food, shopping, hotels, trips, etc.  It only takes a second to subscribe and you might just find a great deal!  And if you are looking to visit a certain city soon, subscribe to that city and you might get a great vacation deal!  Visit the link here to check it out!

Next up is Jasmere.  This site

offers a daily deal like Groupon, the only difference is that the price may DROP from when you originally purchased the deal.  The more people sign up for a deal the LOWER the price goes.  And it doesn't matter when you get in on the deal, you will pay the LOWEST price!  May sound confusing but just head over to Jasmere and check it out HERE

This one is for you, Karin!  :)  You can click on the link here and click on beverages on the left hand side and you will see this $2 OFF Ovaltine coupon.  This would make this only $.72 at Walmart!  GREAT DEAL!

For all you Flip Flop Lovers!  $1 Flip Flops at Old Navy TODAY Only!  (Limit 5 pairs per customer)

If you still have some planting to do around your house NOW is the time!  The Home Depot has 5 pack annuals for only $.89!!  Great deal! 

Click here to print your coupon!

Great coupon to Carters until May 26th!  You don't see these too often.  25% off ANY purchase!  They have some great clearance deals right now... so STOCK up!

I had a Deal of a Day!

I was so excited about my deals that I picked up yesterday I just had to share!  :) 

First was my trip to ToysRUS.  If you DIDN'T know Toy Story 1 & 2 were rereleased yesterday in BluRay combo packs.  So, each movie has a BluRay and DVD copy PLUS a FREE movie ticket to see Toy Story 3!  If you buy BOTH Toy Story 1 &2 you get them for $16.99 each.  If you are a Disney Movie Rewards member and own the VHS of either movie you can print a $10 off coupon for each movie.  So, I got the movies at $16.99/ea. minus the 2-$10 off coupons got the total down to $13.98 for BOTH movies PLUS $17 in movie tickets to see Toy Story 3!  So you actually make a profit buying these movies!  :)  Which was great for me... since I have 2 boys who LOVE Toy Story and I was going to purchase these anyways!  As an added bonus I picked up a Wii Musical game for the boys' Easter basket for $5 (marked down from $39.99!)  It was a GREAT shop! 

Deal #2 was at Walgreens which is CONSTANTLY offering good deals.  You can purchase 3 jumbo packages of Pull ups OR Huggies for $8.99/each this week with a $5 reward/catalina for your NEXT purchase.  So, here is what I did- I bought 3 jumbo packs of pull ups for $8.99.  I had one FREE coupon for a pack and 2-$2 off coupons so my total was $13.98 for 3 packs PLUS I received the $5 catalina which made my total $8.98.  $2.99/pack for Pull ups is indeed AMAZING!  :)

I am almost done Easter basket shopping but I found a game that I think Zachary will love: Battleship!  He loves playing it on the Wii and I found 2 coupons that you can stack together at Target.  (You can stack a Target coupon ALONG with a manufacturer coupon PER item!)  Target has battleship on Sale for $9 right now.  Using the Target Web coupon for $3 off a Hasbro game PLUS the $4 off Battleship coupon from playsaver.com you can get this game for just $2!!  :)  Sounds like a deal in my book! 

If you find any great deals you would like me to post about PLEASE let me know!  I love to share the weath!  :) Happy Wednesday to you all!

First Day of Spring

How nice it is to wake up to the FIRST day of Spring!  :)  It made me want to do some updating to my blog page and post another great deal! 

First up would be yet another Shutterfly deal.  They have opened a new site called WINK and they are offering a FREE Photostrip.  It is a 2x6 photostrip, like in the old days.  Would make a great bookmark for someone and since it's completely FREE, INCLUDING shipping charges it's worth the few minutes it takes to make one!  Click here to get yours!

Make sure you are following me on Facebook and Twitter to get the latest deals.  I'm going to enjoy the rest of this Saturday playing with my boys.  Hope you have a great weekend!

Spinach Artichoke Mac N Cheese

WOW! I just couldn't resist myself. I HAD to share this recipe. This is one of Rachel Ray's Top 10 Recipes of the Year. They all sounded good so this has been my mission this week to make them ALL! I have included the link for the recipe. I did make one minor adjustment to make it more "figure friendly." It calls for 2 cups of milk and I used 1 cup of Chicken Stock and a 1/2 cup of skim milk. It tasted delicious and packed full of nutrients from the whole wheat penne pasta, artichokes, and spinach! Give it a shot!http://www.rachelrayshow.com/food/recipes/spinach-and-artichoke-mac-and-cheese/

My top FREEBIE companies to sign up for!

The biggest question I get asked would have to be HOW i get so many free items. I'm not talking SAMPLES, OR COUPONS, I am talking hundreds of dollars of FREE items sent to my door for me to KEEP! If you like reviewing free products you need to take some time to sign up with these companies. They are all completely free to sign up with and in return send some REALLY great products.

http://www.bzzagent.com BzzAgent is one of the first companies I ever signed up with. I had seen them advertised on Good Morning America and was SOLD. It took all of 10 minutes to register with them and they will periodically send you e-mails asking if you would like to sign up for what is called a Bzz Campaign. If you chose to sign up for that product they need you the product to try for free and in return you tell people the YOUR HONEST opinion of the product. They often send coupons for you to pass around while you are "Bzzing" people. They also send you an official bzzguide so you are have all the information about the product (price, where you can buy it, facts about what you are bzzing). I have received a Phillips Sonicare Toothbrush w/ sanitizer (a $179.99 value), a Logitech remote (valued at $350), An automatic shower cleaner, Burts Bees Acne Treatment, etc. Just to show you there is a HUGE variation is what you could be selected to review. My latest that I am bzzing about now is Loreal's Lash Boosting Power system. It's valued at $24.95 and it gives you fuller, lusher, natural lashes and I have to say IT WORKS! :) When you submit a bzzreport of how you buzzed and what you told them you will earn http://www.Mypoints.com that can be redeemed for great gift cards and other prizes! Sign up for both today! You will be amazed at what you can get for FREE!

http://expotv.com This is by far my FAVORITE new company. The difference between bzzagent and expotv is that you due video reviews instead of just written reviews with ExpoTV. These are 30 second videos that pay between 300-10,000 points! I have been a member of this company for less than 6 months and have already received $200 in gift cards, Starbucks coffee, Nabisco 100 calorie snacks, and my lastest and greatest a FreeAgent HD converter that converts your home movies, MP3, photos from your computer to HD on your TV (valued at $150)! In less than 6 months! Use this link here to sign up for ExpoTV www.expotv.com/raf/staz1998

Roboform = Lifesaver

IF you are interested in signing up for alot of offers, deals, websites, etc. Roboform is a lifesaver. You just enter your information ONCE and then when you have a form to fill out you just click ONE BUTTON and it's done for you! One of my secrets of being able to fill out all these deals.

So, take a second to download Roboform, add it to your toolbar and PRESTO you are all set. You can also add passwords for websites so you don't have to enter those on frequently visited sites! So, give it a shot! (They even have Roboform app for the Iphone and Itouch) http://www.roboform.com/download.html

Facebook FREEBIE! Go to this link http://www.facebook.com/HeluvaGood Become a fan of Heluva Good and then click promotions to enter your information. Then will send y ou a coupon for a FREE Heluva Good product. We had these dips at a NASCAR race last year and they are DELICIOUS! ENJOY! :)

Make sure you click FOLLOW on the blog...

I thought I would use the next post as some of my favorite sites. It takes a matter of seconds, if you have these sites in your favorites, to just click and see what they are offering for the day and then move on. I have a list of sites that I visit daily and a few of my favorites are:

www.amazon.com If you look on the left side of the page I have added a gadget that shows the daily gold box deals going on at Amazon. They run some pretty amazing deals so I like to keep on top of those.

http://dailydeals.target.com/ Target runs a selection of 5 daily deals that are all a percentage off AND FREE Shipping.

www.woot.com Woot is an interesting site. There is what is called Woot, Kids.woot, sellout.woot, shirt.woot, and wine.woot. If you go to the woot site you can see what they are selling on EACH site on the right hand side. They also change daily. Some deals are so great you have to get to them early, others can last all day!

http://www.walmart.com/valueoftheday Wal-marts value of the day

www.alice.com Alice! This is an up and coming company that now offers a FREE app on your IPhone or Itouch that is just WONDERFUL. You can order any non-perishable item from Alice and have it shipped right to your door FREE OF CHARGE. Your first order can consist of any number of items and after that as long as you have 6 items in your cart your shipping is FREE! This has been a great site with small children and winter temps! We don't have to leave the living room!

www.retailmenot.com This is definitely a site you need to bookmark. If you are an avid online shopper like myself take a quick trip to this site and type in the website you are shopping and all sorts of different coupon codes will appear. :) Some are for free shipping, some % off, etc. Just takes a second to save!

www.promotionalcodes.com Same as above. I do a quick check of both to see which has the best code, if any.

www.freeshipping.org This is the site to explore for free shipping codes.

www.6pm.com For all you SHOE lovers out there this is the site for you! They have NAME BRAND shoes for CHEAP. It's another site that you will want to check out daily as the deals change ALL the time!

I don't want to overwhelm anyone so I will stop there! :)

My LOVE for Photo deals!

I have a LOVE for free photo deals. Mostly because they become so personal and you can personalize them to your liking yet you can get them pratically FREE and no one knows that! :) Until NOW of course!

Shutterfly.com Right now you can get 3 FREE photo cards from Shutterfly for .99 shipping. They don't have to be the same card so this could be great for Thank You's, Birthdays, or upcoming Valentine's Day. Just use the code 3FREECARDS at checkout.

http://snapily.com At Snapily you can make a FREE 3D PhotoCard 5x4 flat (shipped for $2.23). This is a very cool looking card that they will think you paid a fortune for... and actually paid less than a Hallmark card! :) Just use code FREEVAL at checkout. Expires 2/10/10

http://seehere.com This website is by Fujifilm and I have had some great luck with GREAT completely FREE items. Sign up as a new customer (each family member can have a seperate account as long as you each have seperate email accounts) and you can make 50-4x8 photocards for FREE INCLUDING SHIPPING! Use the code newbaby at checkout by 1/31/2010 and enjoy your FREE cards. These are great for thank you's, invitations, and even valentines day! ENJOY!

Another one of my favorite photo sites is artscow.com. If you haven't registered with this site you will be AMAZED at the number of FREE items they give you when you register. You do have to pay for shipping with those items but they consistently send out emails with some GREAT deals. Just last week I got a FREE MOUSEPAD, shipping included! They are an overseas company so items do take a bit longer to receive but for the price and quality-it's worth it!

Well...Welcome to Stacey's Savings!

I have had sooo many people ask me about how I get this or how I get that that I thought I would just start blogging! :) You can sign up for FREE of course to keep up with my blog and hopefully save yourself and possible your family a few dollars here and there and get some really great items ABSOLUTELY FREE! If anyone finds any additional deals that they would like me to post I would be happy to share. The point of this blog is to share with my friends and family members some really great deals that I come across and possibly some fabulous recipes that I have made, and maybe a few insights on some other topics here and there. If you are in search of any particular item let me know and I will do my best to find you the best deal. Of course, I am also a wife and mother of 2 would runs a home daycare so I am going to do my best to be the best at ALL my jobs! :) Happy Savings!
