mysterious islands

Our family loves this movie.  I have no idea how many times we have watched it!  We find it to be very well put together, great footage and music, and, most importantly, highly informative on a point that has become a touchstone in our culture.  Right now the Blu-ray Edition  of Mysterious Islands is on clearance for $12.50 – 50% off the list price of $25.00.  PLUS they are also giving away a FREE DVD copy of Darwin vs. Calvin: the Battle of the Millennium (a $15.00 value) when you buy Mysterious Islands Blu-ray!  We’ve watched that one a couple of times, too.  :)

Shipping costs vary by location – mine came to $3.09.  That means a total of $15.59 for both movies shipped, or just $7.80 each.

Here are some other neat items I turned up in the clearance section:

These are just some examples – as I write there are 102 items on clearance!  Check them all out HERE.

Or, head over HERE to just see the Mysterious Islands and Calvin vs. Darwin deal!

Please note that clearance stock is limited and can sell out or change at any time!

staples coupons free deals discounts

What a wonderful and practical deal for couponers! Right now, there are three different coupons you can print that will aid in creating a coupon binder for much, much less!  We are going to be sharing several ways to organize coupons from the minimalist and those that hate to clip coupons to the clip everything couponer and everywhere in between.  We will also be sharing our modified coupon organization that we, as The Thrifty Couple, have developed and use.  Believe it or not, but we have two different couponing personalities in our home.

I (Cassie) am a minimalist and want to spend very little time organizing and cutting coupons. Alex on the other hand prefers to clip and file all of the coupons.  So we have a system that appeals to both of our personalities and works quite well!

But…. we are jumping ahead of ourselves as we just want to tell you about some great coupons you can print and use at Staples to develop a system that works for your and your family! In addition, any of these coupons can be used for any other purpose you may need with binders or dividers!

Here are the coupons you can print and use at Staples:

50% off Avery Dividers and they start at .99 in price = final is .49 after coupon

Melissa and Doug Safe Child Scissors 2-Pack Only $2.98 with FREE Shipping (Normally $15 for the set)

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy here.

by Cassie on February 27, 2012

Update, these have not gone up in price to $4.62 for the pair, but still a good deal.

We love Melissa and Doug toys, but they also have practical items too.  We actually have a set of these scissors from about 2 -years ago and we let our then less than 2 year old use them with ease at the time.  She is now over 3 now and they still work great.  All of our kids actually use them (except the 9 month old :) ) and it sets our minds at ease because they are safe for them all to use.

The better news is that they are super cheap on Amazon right now! They normally sell for $15 for two pairs, but on Amazon, they have them marked down to $2.98 for a set of two and FREE shipping with Prime or a $25 or more purchase! This is a great way to grab some, even if you run a preschool or daycare, it is a good deal to stock-up on for cheap and have less worries! We use them almost daily in our homeschool.

Please note, these prices can change at any time!

Head to Amazon HERE for the Melissa and Doug Kid Safe Scissors 2-pack deal

See more current Amazon Deals to see if there is any other good deals you can bundle into your order for the FREE shipping with $25 purchase!
