Back to School...

For you thrifty mamas looking for some back to school deals, check out Target's web coupons and look at the "school supplies" category for $1 off Bic, Expo and Sharpie (papermate 50 cents off under "stationery" category): I bought two large packs from each brand for Free recently. Target also has Roseart colored pencils on sale for 50 cents and you get a free 24 pack of crayons with purchase, along with 10 cent paper portfolios and 20 cent glue, rulers, erasers and sharpeners.

The following are new deals just up from "Todd and Erin's That went well" blogsite:

How I Made $20.00 In 2 Minutes… Posted: 31 Jul 2010 08:35 PM PDT …I have a stubborn insistence on trying out saving methods and websites first before I post them here. There’s too many options that either waste your valuable time or just don’t offer enough return for the effort you’d need to expend. (Editor’s note: and yes, I’m the chump who has wasted her time so that you don’t have to. Just ask The Todd.) After almost a year of budget blogging here on That Went Well, the easiest cash-back option has to be Ebates. I was a little late to the party on this one, but they made it up to me in a hurry–2 minutes, to be exact. I signed up for Ebates, ($5.00 for new signup, ca-ching!) then went through their link to Old Navy to buy a bunch of summer clearance items for the twins and some school uniform thingies. 10% cash back. ($15.19, ca-ching!) Just like that. So, in two minutes, I made $20.00 and even got free shipping with an Ebates code. I bring this up now because back to school expenses are the third highestexpense of the year for families with school-age children. Take a minute to sign up with Ebates here and scroll through their options for cash back, discounts and free-bee shipping. I’m setting my sights on Drugstore.com next. I’ll get free-bee shipping and a $25.00 gift certificate to Restaurant.com for any purchase of $25.00…which makes this…add the one, carry the four…FREE! Plus, don’t forget the cash rebate of 6% back! That makes this a money-maker. Hurry, this offer expires tonight (7.31) $

20 Free-bee Prints From Snapfish Posted: 31 Jul 2010 08:15 PM PDT Apparently, TLC (the cable channel, which I love) and Snapfish are buddies, because if you Go here to ”like” TLC on Facebook, and click on “claim gift,” you’ll get 20 free-bee prints from Snapfish! Thanks, Mojo Savings!
