Target released some new coupons and so you will want to browse the selection of coupons to print before they are gone. We posted real quick while we were in Yellowstone (sitting in the visitor’s center which was the only place we could find with FREE wi-fi ) about the new Target coupons that came out this last weekend. By the time we got home on Tuesday morning, many of the ones we saw and wanted to print were already gone! So if you ever see some Target printables that you like, don’t wait to print them (unless you were somewhere without a printer like us!).
Then head to Target and purchase the tub of wipes ranging from about $2.50 – $2.99 each depending on the type of wipes (they may be lower depending on your region)= $5.00 – $6.00
YAY! Amazon has introduced a new program called Amazon Moms. This is very exciting news as for nearly two months, we have all been enjoying the benefits of the 30% off on diapers with the “subscribe & save” option. The 30% off has already warranted massive diaper savings, especially when combined with the 20% off coupon codes. Well now, you can enjoy the 30% discount benefits all of the time as a member! It is FREE to join Amazon Mom. PLUS you will receive emails with even more special offers and savings. Anyone who takes care of babies and toddlers can sign-up for this program.
The even better part is that when you sign-up, you will receive a FREE 3-month membership to Amazon Prime. This is great news as it will be within the Christmas shopping season too and you can receive the FREE 2-day shipping with an Amazon Prime membership. PLUS each time that you make a $25 baby purchase, an additional month of FREE Amazon prime will be added to your account – you can earn enough for up to one year of FREE Amazon Prime.
And…… we are very excited about the FREE Amazon Prime, perfect for the Christmas season. Amazon Prime gives you FREE 2-day shipping with no minimum purchase required. You can literally buy an item for $1.00 and it will ship FREE! Makes gift giving, house items, baby deals, groceries, and more at a much more convenient way to shop! Who wouldn’t love to just shop from home. I did see that your FREE Amazon Prime trial will automatically cancel after the time period is up – you should not be automatically billed.
PLUS – if you have been using Swagbucks, you can purchase Amazon gift cards for FREE and you can keep them in your cue to use whenever you make an Amazon purchase and possibly have a FREE Christmas all around along with some possible great baby deals!
Vocal Point is offering two great FREEBIES right now! A FREE Sample of Kashi Go Lean and a FREE sample of Downy Fabric Softener! You must be a member to request yours, so if you are a member, just log-in. If you are not a member I would apply to become one to not miss out on these FREEBIES in the future.
When we have requested from Vocal Point before, many times when we receive them, they are full size FREEBIES! Also, it looks like these samples may only be available in certain zip codes. When I tried to request our samples, it said that the offer was not available in my area.
Let us know if your area qualifies and if you were able to request!
RedPlum is offering a FREE sample of L’Oreal EverPure Haircare. This is available to request TODAY ONLY! Just fill out the quick form and then your sample is on the way.
They do ask you 3 questions with a yes or no answer -
#1. Have you heard of EverPure (simple yes or no will suffice)
#2 – Have you ever tried EverPure (again, a simple yes or no is all that is necessary)
#3 - After hearing about EverPure, will you purchase the product? This question bugged me – I was indecisive on this one, a simple yes or no will not suffice in my opinion. What an odd question! There are many factors to consider before purchasing a product! As soon as I read this question, my response was “seriously?” Weird!
