{Amazon Mom} Free 2-Day Shipping and More!

I’m sure everyone knows what Amazon.com is but for those who don’t, it’s a huge online retail e-commerce store where you can find just about everything and anything. They do offer free shipping for orders of $25 or more but what’s even better is their Amazon Prime service, the only drawback is that it’s a paid service.

Now Amazon Mom is available!

Amazon Mom is a free membership program aimed at helping parents and caregivers, from the prenatal days through the toddler years. Though it’s termed a “mom” program it’s also open to dad’s, grandma’s, aunts, or any caretaker of a baby or young child. You’ll receive the same FREE shipping as Amazon Prime and the added benefit of up to 30% off diapers and wipes.

I love shopping at Amazon but in the past it seems to have taken quite a long time for items to be shipped and received at my door, especially when you using the free shipping method- which is usually a longer time period. With Amazon Mom you can get 3 months free of 2-day instant shipping.

(To continue to enjoy the benefits of free and quick shipping you need to purchase $25 worth of items from their baby store each month. )

Webkinz Combo Pack- COSTCO

We were at Costco this morning and they now have their Christmas stuff out which also means toys! My mom and I decided to look for fun just because I had my 2 year old with me and we were waiting on a prescription. Normally Costco is the BEST place to buy Webkinz to begin with because I think they are usually about $20 for 2 and other places they are usually $15 each. So here's the AWESOME deal:

Webkinz Combo

2 Webkinz
1 Lil' Kinz
2 sets of clothes

TOTAL: $18.99

This would normally be about $60 for everything so this is an AWESOME deal!

I you've never heard of Groupon before you have to go check it out! They always have a daily deal that you can localize to your area and usually things are anywhere from 30-50% off if you purchase it through them.

Today they are having a SMOKIN' deal! You can purchase a $50 Gap gift card for only $25- which makes it 50% off! If you are still in need of school clothes for kids this would be an awesome grab! (This is a daily deal only so you only have about 12 hours left on this one- limit of one per person.)

School Shopping!

Yesterday we won an Old Navy Coupon for $50 off of $100 purchase and the kids have been needing a few little things for school (they are pretty set for most things but there were a few little things they needed) It’s situations like these where I truly love shopping sales and using coupons!

I also won this really cute dress pattern the other day and we decided to make the girls each a dress for school (it’s a whole bunch of different pieces of fabric pieced together for the skirt so we were able to use a whole ton of scraps we already had and only had to pick up a little bit at the store- we spend $12.55 there this morning for 2 dresses, some ribbon for the girls hair and some jean patches and appliques to fix 2 pairs of Jeans that Emma had.

So for a total of $59.08 my two girls got the following for school:

2 Sweaters

4 Pairs of Leggings

2 T-Shirts

6 Pairs of Socks

2 Dresses

1 Pair of Pants

2 Pairs of Jeans (fixed)

Ribbon for their Hair

Tennis Shoes (we won these for Shannon about a month ago)

LOTS of bows (I think I’ve won at least 10 in the last couple months)

A lunchbox (won)

A reusable sandwich bag for Shannon’s lunchbox (won)

Now we just need to win Emma some tennis shoes :) and grab our school supply list (we got backpacks at the end of the school year last year for $3.50 on sale) and we’ll be set!

A few changes on this! The Welch's Refrigerated Juice is NOT included. The Betty Crocker cake mix and frosting for me today rang up at $1.69 each instead of $2.49 each making that a smoking deal! The cereal listed in the ad on sale was Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Honey Nut Cheerios but the Safeway in 4 Corners Maple Valley had Cocoa Puffs, Trix and Cookie Crisp all marked down to $1.49 too- so I used a few $1/2 General Mills coupons for those ones.

This last transaction had some non-coupon impulse buys. Hannah Miley pretty much hates grocery shopping or at least being in the cart so as soon as I tried to put her in she started throwing a HUGE tantrum! I headed straight to the bakery for a free cookie but there was no one there and the screaming just seemed to be getting worse so I grabbed this bag of cookies that I always see when I go to Albertsons and always want to buy because I've had them before and know they're good they are just hardly ever on sale- $2.99 a bag. But it was quick and easy and right next to me so I grabbed it ripped open the bag and the screaming stopped. The Cascade Ice sparkling water was an impulse that I tried a sample of at QFC the other day and loved! They were however on sale for $1.00 but no coupon.

I didn't have time or the patience dragging my three kids around the store with me for another transaction so I didn't grab the Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta for $.19 with coupon and doubler- I passed those coupons on to my mom with some doublers so she could use them if she wanted.

They still have a bunch if you want to go grab some- even at $2 without a coupon I think that's a pretty good price probably. Not sure where I got the coupons- one was from a coupon insert I had cut out and the other two were printable ones I had in my binder they may have come directly from OB's website but it's been too long for me to remember now.

TOTAL: $3.54
TOTAL SAVINGS: $9.00

The Dollar Store:

I like to buy a few things here- I grabbed three boxes of dish soap and 3 boxes of dryer sheets for a total of $6.

Safeway: (A different Safeway- because I knew the other one had the discounted tampons)

(3) Kid's lunchables (the ones with crackers, meat, cheese and a treat) $3 or $1 each- I promised this to Emma for being so good running around with me this morning (no coupon)

The Oscar Meyer Lunchables are on a big sale until the 20th of April at Safeway $1 for some of the smaller ones without drinks and $2 for a few of the bigger ones. A good price and I know there are some coupons from a past coupon insert out there if you are still carrying them around. I just used mine the other day for a couple in this sale.

TOTAL: $5.00
TOTAL SAVINGS: $6.56
