Birthday Bonuses


The pic is of the cake my wonderful mother made me for my 27th birthday. 
On top she put my crazy little puppy! Isn't it cute? It tasted SCRUMPTIOUS!

Most people are glad each birthday comes around, but aren't exactly happy to have aged one more year. What everyone can agree on though is that we all like getting presents and other birthday goodies. Well, here's a quick list of birthday FREEBIES D and I have signed up for...LOVE LOVE LOVE freebies~ especially free food!

Christianbook.com Introduces EBooks!!


Thats right, Christianbook.com has introduced ebooks! Now I can read some of my favorite authors like Lori Wick and Karen Kingsbury on my Nook because the ebooks are available in .epub format. :) Love it! Don't have a device? You can still down load a reader for your PC and read ebooks on your PC. For a limited time, they also have a set of FREE ebooks too! See HERE. (I've also updated the FREE ebooks link on my site for this).

$.99 for 5 De-Lux Products shipped to your door!!!


One of Ebates weekly deals this week is a Drugstore.com Penny Sale. You can get up to 5 De-Lux products for just ONE CENT EACH!!! Plus you get 6% cashback just for shopping through Ebates. How awesome is that?? I think these would make a great a Christmas present. Just buy a nice basket at the dollar store or a bath carrier from the Target Dollar Spot, and pop in your one cent De-Lux products (regularly around $5 each!) and you have an awesome present on the cheap!


So here's the skinny on how to get them for 99 CENTS total shipped:

#1. Click HERE to go to Ebates and Sign Up. Ebates is a cashback shopping program. 
          (I, personally, have gotten over $45 back for shopping through them.)
#2. After signing up, go to the Ebates homepage and under weekly deals is the Drugstore.com link. Click that    
       link. You must sign up for Ebates first then go through the link they provide to get to the penny sale.
#3. The drugstore.com penny sale will pop up. Choose your 5 one cent items (and anything else you want) and then head to checkout. Shipping is a flat $5.99 (or FREE if you spend $25 on your first order). So you'll get 5 De-Lux goodies for right at $6 shipped directly to your door.
#4. Once Drugstore.com verifies your purchase you'll get 6% cashback added to your Ebates account! And if it's your first time signing up and purchasing through Ebates you'll get a $5 bonus added to your account!!

So here's the math:
5 De-Lux Products- $.05
Shipping- $5.95
=$5.99
Less:
6% Cashback into your Ebates Account
$5 if New Ebates Member into your Ebates Account
=$.99 for all 5 items!! (and even if you're not a new member $5.99 is still an awesome deal for these!)

Let's Talk Christmas

Christmas. It's 8 months away. As a kid that seemed a world away. As an adult not so much. Time just seems to fly. So....instead of waiting this year start thinking about Christmas now.

Here's some of my ideas on how to have less $$ out the door in December. As I find more, I will add more to this post.

#1. Join Swagbucks.
I've earned a little over $10 to Amazon.com using Swagbucks (I started in February). I do a few searches on it per day til I win some swagbucks. Then I click through the no obligation Special Offer section everyday for 2-3 swagbucks. Buy Christmas you should have enough bucks to buy at least one present or more if you participate for just a minute or so daily.
CLICK HERE to sign up for Swagbucks for FREE.

#2. Join MyPoints
I've been a MyPoints member since 2001. Since then, I have earned about $800 or more in Gift Cards to various places I shop. You earn points reading the emails they send, taking surveys, and by going through their website whenever you shop online. We make sure that if we can buy it online then we do rather than buying it in store to maximize our point potential. A lot of places will let you buy online and pick up in store too!
Let me know if you wanna join and I will send you a personalized invitation.
PS- Janny go ahead and send me your email address b/c you will definitely want to join if you're not already member. If you register you credit card with them, you get 3 points per dollar for Royal Caribbean purchases.


FREE or FREE plus shipping GIFTS:
#1. HotPrints:
HotPrints will give you ONE PHOTOBOOK FREE PER MONTH! Yes, you read that right. And shipping is included! In return, they place a 4 page ad in the middle of the photobook that is easily removable. Soo....you can make a FREE gift per month using this FREE service. Make one for yourself this month and make another in the coming months more for FREE presents.

#2. VistaPrint:
They always have a TON of FREE plus shipping deals going on. One of the coolest deals is the 4x6 photoflip book for FREE plus shipping. This would make an awesome bragbook for a parent/grandparent gift!

#3. btrendie.com
Sign up and they give you a FREE $10 credit towards anything. They switch out what they are selling each week and one week you're sure to find a good gift on there thats in the $10 range. Buy it, Use your credit, and only pay shipping.
