Vistaprint deals

I don’t know if you’re familiar with Vistaprint or not, but it’s a website that does labels, calendars, business cards, that sort of thing. I don’t think it’s a scam, but it is very gimmicky. Their gimmick is that they often offer a lot of stuff for “free” and you only pay S&H. These free deals come along so often, I find it hard to believe that they’re not calculating in at least some portion of the cost. Nevertheless, there are good deals to be had if you’re looking for personalized items such as greeting cards & announcements, business cards, calendars, mailing labels, clothing labels and that kind of stuff.  Then again, maybe they are willing to give away some stuff for free in hopes that you’ll place repeat orders.

I’ve found the quality of their products to be decent, but it takes forever. I would not recommend ordering xmas cards from them–at least not for this year! Give yourself several weeks’ worth of lead time when placing orders.  And there are many places to find Vistaprint codes, and don’t forget to enter the site via ebates.

Shopping codes for Vistaprint- here, here and here. And if you don’t find the deal you’re looking for in one of those links, simply do an internet search on “vistaprint free” or “vistaprint codes” and you’ll get lots of options.

Repeat after me…I am done xmas shopping, I am done xmas shopping..Kohl’s deal!

I am done xmas shopping. Really, I am. I went to the Target toy clearance, IN JULY, and bought a bunch of toys. For my kids, cousins, niece…..really, I could give what I have right now and it would be a decent gift. But then awesome deals come along……….argh. And this is how I end up overspending. Because things are such a great price. (notice I didn’t say great deal, because I don’t NEED the item)

Here’s the Kohl’s deal, recapped:
Kohl’s has their FP toys marked down 40-45%.  You see, not only are the select Fisher-Price toys still discounted up to 45%– but when you add a toy to your cart it will automatically be reduced an additional 20%! …AND even better, if you spend $50 or more you can use coupon code EXTRA20 to get an additional 20% off your purchases + if your total is still over $50 after the 20% coupon code has been applied, you can stack with code EBTSHIP50 to score FREE shipping! …AND finally, you’ll score $10 Kohl’s Cash for every $50 you spend (after discounts). So I’ll be lured into the store with my Kohl’s cash to buy even more stuff.

Will…..not……..click……….will………not…….click……..but clicking is so much easier than running to TRU at midnight, isn’t it?

eat free if you’re a Veteran!

Thank you Veterans! Tomorrow you get thanked for your service and not one of you should have to cook or pay for a meal. I’ve read online that Chick Fil A, Applebee’s, Chili’s, Krispy Kreme, Bugaboo Creek, Outback, Famous Daves, Golden Corral, Subway, Uno’s, TGIFriday’s and many other national chains are offering freebie deals for you. Dig your military ID out of the drawer and head on out!

What?!? No Election Day freebies?

Election Day 2008 was just filled with freebies. Every restaurant chain was offering something if you voted. Guess times are tough, because I couldn’t find a single one this year. Oh well, go out and vote anyway, even if there’s no free food afterwards. And while you’re at it, please vote again in the Pepsi Challenge.

And Toy Story 3 is available today so look for deals on that, including the deal I posted at CVS.
