Hanna Andersson is a Portland-based clothing company, started up by Gun Denhart on the Swedish philosophy of manufacturing quality, long-lasting garments, using only the best materials and the Okeo-Tex Standard 100 test method for allergens.

It's a fun place to go, because they have everything from seasonal decorations, beads, scrapbooking, fabrics, yarns, stuff for the kiddos to do...

EVERYTHING!

So head on down to your local Craft Warehouse, where you can get a $10 gift card for every $50 you spend, through December 16th.  (And for those of you in the Portland Metro area-- they have one in Gresham off Division and Eastman Parkway.  It's not in Gresham Station, but across the street, next to Dick's Sporting Goods.)

Another $10 Gift Card Deal When You Spend $50 At Target!

Here is the link for Target's $10 Gift Card when you spend $50:  http://coupons.target.com/target-holiday-elves-coupons

December 9, 10,  and 11th, whenever you purchase 1 Whopper from Burger King, you get the 2nd one free!

Disney Guitars $18.88-- Over $11 Off!

My 5-year old is into this country-cowgirl thing.  (It comes from my husband's side apparently!)

So on her list to Santa, is an "agoostig" guitar.

But for almost $30 at places like KMart and Target, she might as well ask for drums, because I don't see myself shelling a lot of money out on something she'll take interest in here and there, and the rest of the time, ding up under her bed, behind a bunch of Strawberry Shortcake toys that she forgot about!

However, I might give a little, seeing that Walmart is having their Cinderella Disney Princess one for $18.88.  (They have a Cars one, too!) 
(**Note-- I actually did order this online-- they aren't shipping out yet, but gave the arrival date before December 19th!)

Need More Sugar For The Holidays?

If the coupon in this Sunday's paper for $1 off of 2 C&H sugar weren't enough, then by all means, head on over to http://www.smartsource.com/, where you can print out 2 more of them! 

(Tip-- don't use it at Safeway-- a 4lbs bag is currently going for a whopping $3.49-- and that's on sale!)

Safeway Bisquick (Reg and Red. Fat) $1.99 A Box!

Oh this irks me!  I could have saved a couple bucks if I had put off Walmart last week and went to Safeway this week instead!

Right now, Safeway has Bisquick Baking Mix-- both the regular and the reduced-fat versions on sale for $2.99!  At http://www.coupons.com/, they have a 50-cent Bisquick coupon going on.  Couple that with Safeway's doubler, and you can snag a box for just $1.99!

This stuff is awesome when you are trying to do holiday baking, but don't have all day to cook and slave over 20 bowls of dough!

Google up Bisquick Snowball cookies (aka Russian Teacakes), or quick cinnamon rolls, etc.  PERFECT!

General Mills Cereals $1.49 A Box At Safeway!

I hate buying those tiny little boxes of cereal.  For some reason, it feels like I'm getting ripped off.  The best place to get a big box of cereal for a small price-- I've found, has been Big Lots.  Apple Jacks, a two-bag box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Froot Loops, etc...  All cheap.

However, Safeway is currently having a sale on those small boxes of General Mills cereals, where you can get a coupon out of their in-store ad (if you didn't get it in your FoodDay):

(By the way-- Regular price $2.49???!!!)

Buy two boxes for $2.98, and take the coupon from http://www.coupons.com/ ($1 off 2 boxes of ANY sized Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Trix), and that leaves you at paying just $1.49 a box.

$1 Off Arby's Reuben Sandwich!

To me, Reubens in the sandwich form are about as appealing to me as the ones with the last name of Kincaid.

However, if you happen to find them delectible, Arby's Facebook page, is offering a coupon good for $1 off your next purchase of one:  https://www.facebook.com/arbys?sk=app_238098202916318

Free Huggies Diaper Sample!

Ever wish you had packed that one extra diaper in the diaper bag?  Here's your chance to get that extra for free in the form of a sample!  Get the mail and toss it in the glove box!  That way, when you are sifting through your diaper bag, cursing under your breath for not being able to find an extra one, you can have that lightbulb go off in your head and say "oh yeah!  There's that free sample in the glove box!"

This link http://www5.samsclub.com/Showcase/KC-Baby-Showcase.aspx?sid=SnugDry will send you over to Sam's Club, but you don't have to be a member-- because I can't really recall Oregon even having one.  (And the pop-up alert that comes up, is the form for you to fill out your name and address.)

Headache-Free For The Holidays! $2 Off Excedrin

One thing I've been seeing this holiday season, is the rush, rush, rush of things, and the migraines that go along with it!

Fortunately, I'm one of those who can slam a couple Excedrin, and the migraine will go away after 30mins (to an hour) after laying down for it to kick in.  And not only that, it gives you the caffeine kick to get back on with your day!

Right now at http://www.coupons.com/, Excedrin has a $2 off coupon off one bottle-- good for 2 prints and expiring January 31st. 

And they're not being stingy about it either!  It's even good on a bottle of 20!

(Also available, is $1.50 off from one bottle of Excedrin PM.)

Ann Carol Cashmere Scarves-- Just $14.99!

I've been on a hunt for a scarf, and I think I've found a good place to start looking.

http://www.zulily.com/!

For those of you who aren't familiar, Zulily is one of those places who receive stock of something (mainly kid and mom related) and sell it for an insane discount in a limited amount of time.  Then, a day or so later, offer up a new product.  (You have to register with them, so if you click onto their site, be patient!)

From now until this Thursday (6am pdt), you can purchase a cashmere scarf from Ann Carol Design in a variety of different colors and prints, for an amazing $14.99!

That is such a great deal!

And while you are there, check out some of the other things they have to offer.  One thing that I've been eyeing, are the ballerina socks on there.  I always pass them at Target-- in the Baby section, and wish they had them in a size for my 5-year old!

"Seasonal" M&M's Coupon Good For $1/2 Through 12/31

So what does this mean?  This is means the tins, the ornaments, the holiday colors, the candy canes, etc.!  And since it runs past Christmas, it's good for the clearance stuff that's bound to line the shelves at Target the day after, marked at 50% off!

Get yours today!  http://instoresnow.walmart.com/enhancedrendercontent.aspx?id=101534

2nd Chance Print For Free Enchanted Lotion At Bath And Bodyworks!

Again, Bath and Bodyworks is having a promo for their Be Enchanted fragranced lotion!  Here is the direct link to the coupon:  http://bbw.imageg.net/graphics/media/bbw/2011/fb/fb_BE_InStore_excl_5228.pdf

Like I said, these are great as stocking stuffers, to add into gift baskets, etc.  I mean, print two, get two, then add some of the bodywash, toss it in a dollar store gift basket, and voila-- a gift for that mean aunt you've always disliked, and didn't really want to spend a lot of money on!  (Unless you want to emphasize your feelings with a Walmart bath gift basket at the same price!)

What Every Vacuum Wants For Christmas-- Awesome LEGO deal!

I got my kiddo Legos last year for Christmas for $24, and when I opened up the 400 piece kit, I was like "uh... that's it?"

So when I saw this Lego deal going on at Walmart for $39 (for 4x the pieces), I was kicking myself.

Hop on this link to their site, before they're all gone!   http://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-LEGO5512/17133548

Will $29.99 + $5 Target Gift Card Make Up For Years Of Therapy Later On?

http://www.target.com/p/The-Elf-on-the-Shelf-A-Christmas-Tradition-with-Blue-Eyed-Elf/-/A-13740548

As a kid, I loved Christmas.  It meant my mom dragging out the sparkly tinsel light covers (that she kept onto from the 60's), the white ceramic Christmas tree with the red lights (that sadly broke one year), and this little elf that I had hoped one day my mom would give to me to play with my Barbies with.

Instead, it was given to my younger brother to obliterate with his GI Joes.

Years went by, and I thought how neat it would be to find a similar-looking elf, where I stumbled upon Vermont Country Store's version, selling 3 of them for an insane $19.99 + shipping.  Since my kiddo is still young though, I purchased them anyways.  http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/store/jump/productDetail/Catalog/For_The_Home/Holiday_Decor/Classic_Christmas_Elves_(Package_of_3)/53856

Anything that is supposed to move on its own to different parts of the house (when the child isn't looking), screams therapy later on.  But I guess that's just me, since my kiddo is absolutely enchanted by it.  ("Mommy look!  It's on the bookcase-- how did it get up there?")

So now, there's this Elf on the Shelf franchise going on.  Martin Scorcese's daughter even has been in on it, making a movie for it.

At Target, they are selling the book and the elf for $29.99.  With this, you will get a $5 gift card back along with FREE SHIPPING.  (And compared to the $35 up + shipping at places elsewhere, this is probably the best deal going on for it!)  http://www.target.com/p/The-Elf-on-the-Shelf-A-Christmas-Tradition-with-Blue-Eyed-Elf/-/A-13740548

Do you have a Target credit card?  Or even yet, their debit card?  Use that for an additional 5% off!

PS-- for those of you not into the idea of the doll that comes along with it, they also sell it for Nook at Barnes and Noble for just $9.99  http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/elf-on-the-shelf-carol-v-aebersold/1018468021?ean=9780976990727



Save A Little Sanity And Get A $10 Credit On Your First Purchase!!!


After seeing an almost too-good-to-be-true post about an online company, I thought I would play guinea pig and give it a try.

Whew!  I lucked out!

It's for a Las Vegas-based health product company called VitaCost.  Don't let the name fool you.  (Because I totally would have passed this deal up myself, if I didn't see the other  products they have to offer.)

Bob's Red Mill.  Now, if you've ever made the trip out there, you see cars lined up the whole side of the street.  Finding a parking place sometimes takes up to 10 minutes, and once you get inside-- what a hassle!

So when I saw Bob's Red Mill products advertised with VitaCost (along with the $10 first-time credit), I totally took the bait, and ordered 3 bags of their Golden Cous Cous. 

(By the way--never had cous cous?  So easy to fix!  Pour some in a lidded container, add boiling water, and let it sit for 3mins.  Perfect filler to add to those scant chicken soups, or heat it up with parmesan cheese, broccoli and shrimp...  so quick!)

I watched my bank.  They took out the $6 and some change out.  I tracked the order through their UPS site.  It was totally legit.  Because of Thanksgiving, I received my order intact the next day, packed safely in those new packing things filled with air.  I saved $10, plus the gas and insanity it would have taken to go out there.

If you want to see what I am talking about, get on the link below to get your first-time $10 customer credit!  (Spend it now, where their current deal is free shipping on any order over $49-- or hang onto it when their next round of free shipping shows up!  But even then, it's just a flat $4.99, which is CHEAPER than the gas it would cost to go out to Bob's Red Mill with!)

30% Off Adorable Diaper Bags At Baby Parade!

When I think of the diaper bag I had for my teen when she was a baby...

So embarrassing!  (I just spent the last 10 minutes, google imaging it, and I couldn't find anything on it.  It was white with little black pawprints all over it-- so it would go with the matching porta-crib.)

But times have changed! 

Places like Baby Parade, are offering the sweetest looking diaper bags for even sweeter deals.

Right now, if you go to their site http://www.babyparade.com/jp-lizzy/diaper-bags.html?utm_source=PTS_newsletter&utm_medium=1311-16_p&utm_content=news_1311-16_p_112&utm_campaign=news_pt_1311-16 , you can get 30% off through Monday!  Great baby shower gift or just in time for Christmas!



Spin Brush Stocking Stuffers-- Say That 3 Times Fast! (Coupons)

Go get your coupons at the Arm and Hammer site http://www.spinbrush.com/ to get the coupons above. 

Perfect for those little whippersnappers and the season of fudge, cookies and other treats!

$1 Off Maxwell House International

Some people don't like this stuff.  For me though?  Add it with ice and milk in the blender, for a quick mocha frappe.  And with a few of those frappes in a $3 container-- it's pretty economical while you're trying to pinch those pennies with Christmas, and the credit card aftermath that follows!  And with the $1 off any one, why not?

Here's the link to Walmart, where you can print out 2 coupons:  http://instoresnow.walmart.com/enhancedrendercontent_ektid101140.aspx

Candy Bark $4 Off At Cost Plus 'Til 6pm TODAY

If you are still roaming around the mall today, make sure you go to Cost Plus World Market's website, where you can print off a coupon, good for a $5.99 (reg. $9.99 tin of candy bark).  Cute hostess gift, coupled with wine at your next party, etc.!  Just get there before 6pm today-- that's when the deal ends!

Redeem this offer, by printing or smartphoning the link (directly to the deal) below:

http://www.worldmarket.com/category/index.jsp?categoryId=3912212&RMID=20111125_WK43_CPWM_Flash_WEST&RRID=4162734&camp=em_cpwm:flashsale:wk43:coupon&camp=em_cpwm:flashsale:wk43:coupon

Once, Twice, Three Times At IHOP...

That's the deal you can get, when you go onto IHOP's facebook page, click 'like' and join their Pancake Revolution https://www.facebook.com/IHOP?sk=app_10531514314

When you provide your name, email, and birthdate, you will get a Free Rooty Tooty Breakfast meal (or that of same or lesser value) for signing up, another one on your birthday, and then one on the one-year anniversary of signing up.

It would be great if you could get a whole table's worth of this deal, but it's only good, one coupon per table.  So, get one for yourself and then get the holiday pancakes for the kiddos, starting at $4.99. My husband took our 5-year old to IHOP last week where instead of the kid's deal, he got her the Rooty Tooty instead. (Aside from the hash browns, she ate the whole dang thing!  Look at the cocoa!  It's almost as big as her head!)
