Happy Labor Day to all of our wonderful readers! We hope that you are having and had a wonderful weekend with your family and resting from your “labors.”
We have been enjoying a family vacation since Friday to Yellowstone National Park (using our thrifty travel tips). It has been a wonderful relaxing and exciting trip. Yellowstone is truly one of the most amazing places on earth and one of the most incredible vacations our family has had – from the geysers, canyons, scenery, Bison, Elk, and a little glance at a big Grizzly from a distance. We have also had the sunshine and heat, massive high winds, and a lovely little blizzard this evening, which apparently causes bison to walk down the middle of the road and the elk to gallop through the valleys! If only the blizzard did more to bring the bears for a closer look (this is Thrifty Cas’ favorite animal!).
With that in mind – our internet is anything but functional. We had planned to post as normal and to have diaper deals up on Monday as usual. But as such, we will resume the Best Deals on Diapers as well as out other usual posting schedule this week on Tuesday!
Thank you for your patience and understanding and we hope you finish off the holiday weekend refreshed and ready for another great week!
Thanks to PosterLovers.com for the image. As we said, our internet has been highly unreliable and very slow. We’ll share a few of our pictures when we get home.
Do you have a lot of pictures waiting to be developed from this Labor Day Weekend or another event? Then quickly download them and claim 40 FREE prints from York photo.
It will only take a few minutes to take advantage of this offer. If you needed more than 4o, additional prints are only .04 (use code: YMW4CP) if you want more, that is pretty cheap for prints! This may go quickly, so I wouldn’t wait to start your FREE account!

Have your received your SWEET Photo Posters yet? We just received ours today! They were in this triangle box and I honestly did not know what it was?!?!
I opened it and to my surprise were the posters of our girls. They were packaged nicely rolled up and wrapped in tissue – that is why they are angled in the picture until we get them in frames they will stay rolled up! I couldn’t believe how quickly they got here!
The picture of the posters are horrible – but the actual posters are beautiful! I was impressed with the quality.
Anyway – this deal ends tomorrow, August 25th and only takes a few minutes to do. So if you have not done it yet – we wanted to remind you so you didn’t miss it. If you have received yours – then enjoy!!
Here is the original information:
This is such a sweet deal – as soon as I saw this deal today I knew exactly which picture I wanted to make a poster of! I have had this picture in my queue for a photo deal (other than just a regular print!) that I wanted to take advantage of!
I would personally recommend the 11×14 or the 16×20 as it is easier to find affordable frames in those sizes. We did the 11 x 14!! So sweet and so cute – our two oldest celebrating our independence. I love this photo!
Log-in or create a new account (if you create a new account as a new member, you will also receive 50 FREE 4×6 prints. We created an account and I quickly uploaded the pictures from our first camping trip this year to be printed!)
Then pick your poster size – Please note that it will show a code to use at checkout to get 25% off, don’t use that code as you will want 50% off instead
At checkout use code: poster-33 and see your total drop by half
Then checkout and you have an awesome photo poster coming to your door with the FREE shipping.
Don’t forget to quickly upload 50 photos to have printed as well if you have a new account! Do this in a separate transaction as you can only use one promo code per transaction.
It literally took me 5 minutes to create my poster. It is worth the time for the memories. We actually ordered 2 of the exact same so each of our girls can have one (even when they are grown and gone) to remember just how good of friends they are!
Here is what our cart looked like with two of the 11 x 14 posters:
You can order any number of posters on this discount and until the 25th of August. These are perfect for gifts too – Christmas is not too far off and Grandparents Day is September 12 for this year! So take 5 minutes and make a poster (or two ) out of that picture that you have in your mind!

It is an anniversary celebration at Vista Print right now. We are excited about this because Vista Print is one of our favorite photo sites to use. The quality is pretty decent, but they also have these awesome FREEBIES that they give out here and there.
We have used them for nearly 4 years. We have used them every Christmas, Valentines and special occasions to give the wonderful gift of memories in a creative way to grandparents, family, friends, and for our own home now for several years! These items have been the primary gift for our families – they LOVE them! And we love the price
Vista Print is celebrating their 10th Anniversary – and we all get to reap the benefits by being able to get 10 FREEBIES right now!
FREE Photo Wall Calendars
FREE Photo Flip Books
FREE Photo Mouse Pads
FREE Photo Notebooks
FREE Personalized Tote Bags
FREE Photo Mugs
FREE Personalized Sticky Notes
FREE Personalized Rubber Stamp
FREE Personalized Business Cards
FREE Personalized Mailing Labels
YES – ALL OF THIS FOR FREE! You do need to pay for shipping, but it makes it a super sweet deal!
When they have these FREE Vista Print sales, this is what we have done: We order 1 FREE of EVERYTHING as a sample. Some things (like the calendars) where we wanted to give more than one as a gift, then we will order more. Usually they will offer a discount on the 2nd one (even though the first was FREE)! This FREEBIE works this way: They have standard templates that you can choose from for FREE as well as FREE stock pictures.
If you decide you want to customize your selection with your own photo (this would only be applicable to items that you want to put a picture on!), then you pay a small upload fee to use your own picture normally – but that is why this deal is even better than FREEBIES before. In lieu of their anniversary – you actually get FREE photo uploads too! So ALL you have to pay is just the shipping!!
You will want to head to the site to start your FREEBIES as I am not sure how long this will last! It will only take you a few minutes and then you have your gifts for family squared away for the next time you need one! This will all be shipped in one order!
Why do they do these Vista Print FREEBIES? Well, it is like giving you a sample of their product (even though we only get one personalized mug, mouse pad, etc. during each FREEBIE offer) so that they can show you the quality of their products for future ordering! Even though we are “regular customers,” they still send us information for more FREEBIES! We love it!!!
We love Melissa and Doug toys AND we love creative play for our children – this deal combines the best of both worlds!
Amazon is having a great sale and clearance on the Melissa and Doug stickers and art supplies. They are as much as 76% off right now. Plus there is FREE shipping with Amazon prime or many on orders of $25 or more.
There are a number of items, but here are a few recommendations:
Girl or Boy Sticker Collection books filled with 800 high quality stickers (some are pretty large). These normally sell for $17.19, but they are marked down to $5.20 (girls) and $5.65 (boys), which is about 70% off!
These would make for some excellent Christmas gifts or birthday gifts too! Or, perfect for starting off the school year either as a homeschooler or for after-school activities.

Wow – this is a nice deal this morning! Just head over to the Play-Doh site and play the Play-Doh Instant Win game. To play the game: you will need to register and then enter code: KDN185UV9JN34.

This set is on sale at Target for $8.00 this week = final is $3.00 after coupon!
We love the Play-Doh sets – this is one toy that we really encourage with our children (along with toys like Melissa and Doug). We will be taking advantage of this and saving it for Christmas. Also, this is such a great deal – print two coupons and then you can keep one for your kids and give as a gift to someone else. We have a gift bin that we keep and put these types of things in throughout the year. We rarely have to buy something on the spot!
