Thanks DEALicious Finds Aww…. this is such a wonderful FREEBIE! Personalized children’s story books recorded with your voice reading it to them. We saw a Christmas book like this inside of Hallmark last year that cost $30 for a physical copy of a voice recorded book! Yikes! But this company, A Story Before Bed is offering two voice recorded books for FREE! Look for these two books on the bookshelf to start your FREE recording.
How this works is that you can record your voice reading the story to your child. The kids can listen to the virtual page-turning story on the computer and they will hear you and your voice reading it to them. This is perfect for military families, grandparents, family out of town, or friends. PLUS if you are a parent in the Armed Forces – you can sign-up for FREE to receive special codes for more discounts and FREE recordings. Thanks Mojo Savings

UPDATE: We are reposting this from last week as a reader let us know that there is a new code: SLICK55 to take 55% off! This new 55% off code will work on nearly everything. Just try the code at checkout and to see if an additional 55% comes off! This works on clearance and overstock items too! YAY!!! We do not know how long this code is good for, but it did work today. Thanks Alisia! Wahoo – just in time to start new year of schooling! There is a killer clearance sale on the Hooked on Phonics site right now. Hooked on Phonics is our favorite and the reading supplement we use with our kid’s schooling. It is a program that I grew up on as well! Our 5 year old is nearly complete with the 5 levels of this program and is an ace beginning reader! Our 6 year completed the 5-levels a year ago and we purchased the Master Reader set last time it was cheap (it is even cheaper now!) and she has completed that now as well. The cool part is that one of her favorite things to do is to stay up a little later than the other kids and sit up with us at night for our night time reading. She is just like one of the adults blowing through her chapter books at night right there next to us! Amazing and only 6.5 years old! If you can’t tell – we HIGHLY recommend this product after first-hand experience many, many years ago and now with our own children. It is an award-winning, tried and true phonics program. It is perfect for the home-schooling family, or as an after-school supplement to greatly improve your child’s ability to read, comprehend and reason through reading. Here is a picture of our 6-year with her first completed chapter book, in her pj’s and bed head
We recommend any an all of the Hooked on Phonics programs (we have used the handwriting, foreign languages, shapes and more in the past and even currently) – so if you are in need of anything or wanting to expand or even develop your child’s skillset – you can shop on the Hooked on Phonics website and use code: SLICK55 to get 55% off of nearly all of the products on the site right now. But even better is purchasing overstock items right now that are GREATLY reduced. These are limited time offers until they sell out (which could be quickly!). But here is the cool part – you can use the SLICK50 code on these products too which will give you an additional 50% off of these items which will give you up to 88% off!! WOWZA!
Well, right now – they are having an overstock sale where many of the products are 75% off! PLUS use code: SLICK50 to get an additional 50% off!!!! Here are some examples of how to maximize this sale: Master Reader Course – Here’s how Hooked On Phonics describes this course: New readers’ skills can’t always keep up with their enthusiasm to read. That’s why we created Hooked on Phonics® Master Reader, designed especially for children ages 7 and up who have mastered basic reading skills but need a boost to read with speed, accuracy, and confidence. Master Reader’s award-winning system teaches kids how to break down large words into parts so they can read more fluently and spend less time and effort sounding out each word using a balanced approach to reading that pairs systematic instruction with engaging stories and books. Reading success is guaranteed because each lesson is supported with lots of fun and entertaining practice activities and kid-appealing reading materials. So here’s the best part – this next level reading program is normally priced at $199.95 plus tax and shipping. This course is on sale for $49.95. Here’s how to maximize:
This ends up making this award-winning program at 90% off!!!! *This specific Master Reader program is compatible with Windows 2000 or XP. So, if you need to – you can get the upgrade pack to upgrade to have the Windows Vista and Mac 10.5 which is $39.95 – 55% = $19 for the upgrade pack – this is actually cheaper this way then buying the most current Master Reader set, but gives you the same compatibility as the newest version. Discover Reading – Toddler Edition Premium – this product is normally $64.95, but you can get it for as low as $8.99! This is what we ordered first on this sale – I was so excited, had to tell everyone! Here is a picture of what came with it!
This premium edition includes:
Here’s how to maximize:
This is just a couple of examples of the deals you can score right now! But again, the SLICK55 code works on nearly all products on the site. Shipping is typically around $3 – $7 a product (depending on the size), but this is still a killer deal even with that! Click on the image above or just start shopping for cheap! You can also use ShopAtHome for 6% back and if you are new, you will also get a $5 bonus back as well! However, it looks like the 6% back does not apply to all products, and the site said it probably would not work on the clearance items. But if you are buying non-clearance items, then get your bonus % back!
Everyday With Rachael Ray Magazine is FREE for 1-year right now too. Just head over to their site to request your FREE subscription. I personally love Rachael Ray and her magazine. It is a very high quality magazine filled with lots of ideas for cooking (of course), home and more. Just like the last magazine, each issue is like a Rachael Ray Cookbook. HURRY! As this one will go just as other Free magazine subscriptions! This could also make for a great gift too. Thanks Mojo Savings
Taste of Home Magazine is FREE for 1-year right now. Just head over to their site to request your FREE subscription. This is a fun magazine filled with cooking tips, advice and recipes. Each issue is like a Taste of Home Cookbook. But…. HURRY! Free magazine subscriptions go very quickly! This could also make for a great gift. Thanks Mojo Savings
Here is an idea for a frugal weekend of relaxation and enjoyment – Blockbuster Express has released a coupon code for their movie rental kiosks where you can rent two and get one FREE! In order to get your FREE rental, you will need to rent one and then use code: GE18D3 for the third rental. Be sure to return the movies the next day by 9pm to avoid the extra $1.00 charge per movie per night! Find a Blockbuster Express locations near you! Has anyone tried the Blockbuster Express option? Thanks Miami Mommy Savings
UPDATE: They are now out of FREE magazines. HURRY!! You can request a FREE 11-month magazine subscription right now for Parenting The Early Years! This is great news as this magazine contained some of those codes for 20% off your Amazon diaper purchase where you can get diapers as low as .03 right now. I would secure a FREE subscription and hope there are more codes in the future! We are not sure how long this is going to last – they usually are gone very, very fast! Thanks Mojo Savings
