So, why not take your Mom to the movies? If you see the movie “Waitress” starring Keri Russell on Sunday your Mom will receive a free gift bag! Check out moviewithmom.com to see if your local theater is running this promotion. One theater in my area is running it, but unfortunately is clear across town. I think a nice brunch will do just fine.

Okay, I admit it. I’m obsessed with buying shoes. I don’t care what kind of shoes they are - sandals, flip flops, athletic shoes, whatever. Well, through one of the forum boards that I frequent I found out about a cool site that offers a promotion of 60% off shoes for one day out of the month. Guess what, it’s tomorrow!! Hurry and see what Shoes.com has to offer tomorrow (Saturday, May 12) from 7:00 AM to 12:00 midnight CST!! All orders are shipped FREE via UPS ground.

I’ve always had the misconception that any type of down bedding would be quite expensive. I was lucky enough to receive a down throw for Christmas from my in laws and have just fallen in love with the comfort it provides. I find myself taking the throw into the bedroom with me and will sleep on that on occasion. I seriously sleep better on it.

I found an awesome site - Downdeals.com - that really helps you choose the right type of down bedding that you’re looking for - whether it be pillows, comforters, throws, featherbeds, or blankets. I love the search capability on their site as well. For example, if you’re interested in buying a comforter, you can choose from the following items to really customize the type of comforter you’re looking for: Fill Type, Fill Power, Fabric, Fabric Finish, Pattern, Gussett, Thread Count, Size, Color, and Construction. With those choices, there’s no second guessing what you’re buying.

Downdeals.com is the same company who makes a lot of bedding items that are available at major department stores like Macy’s, Bloomingdales, and LL Bean. But why shop there, when you can simply shop online on their site in the comfort of your own home. You can even get FREE shipping on orders over $50!

I purchase a lot of items through Amazon.com and I hit the jackpot today with some great deals on Tonka trucks. My 4 year old nephew loves any kind of truck so I ordered some of these for birthday presents and Christmas. I spent over $25 (including a Fisher Price toy that was on sale) so I was able to get everything shipped for FREE!!



Tonka Drivers Light & Sounds Sanitation Truck - Reg price $19.99, now $5.65.



Tonka Lights & Sound Tow Truck - Reg price $14.99, now $5.07



Tonka Lights & Sound Rescue SUV - Blue - Reg price $14.99, now $5.07

Have you ever checked out this site? I have used it in the past and love it. I frequent Target probably twice a week and right now on Couponchief.com you can get $5 off of a $50 purchase you make online at Target. C’mon, you all know how easy it is to spend $50 at Target!

That’s not the only store you can get great deals on through their site, get discounts at GAP (Free shipping on orders over $100), STAPLES (Fre shipping on most orders over $50), and let’s not forget that Mother’s Day is this Sunday. You can get a great deal flowers through FTD.com - get $5 off with the purchase of 15 tulips + get 15 Free! Now what Mom is not going to love that?

So check out Couponchief.com and start saving money today just like me!

Do you like Kashi cereal? I got hooked on the stuff a couple of years ago. My husband isn’t too fond of it - he thinks it’s too bland but I love it! You can get a free sample of Kashi by going to their site. Give it a try!

Do you keep the Sunday coupons? I do. I have 6 Sunday newspapers delivered to me just for the coupons itself. Crazy, aren’t I? Well, these six sets of coupons have gotten me countless items for free, and I have quite a stockpile going on in my pantry. Every week I throw the inserts into a folder and label it with the date. I check out this site to compare what is on sale for that week at the local grocery stores. Granted, this site is probably local to only the west, but check your online local newspapers and see if they have something similar. It takes just a little bit of time and effort but worth every penny!

A couple of years ago, an employee at Target told me to ALWAYS look at their endcaps. This is where they put all of their sale items and their lowest priced marked down items as well. I make sure that I hit all the aisles (provided I have the time),  especially the end caps that are not necessarily accessible - these are where I find the most bargains.  I have been able to snag some items for dirt cheap, especially when I have coupons for the items as well.  Just this past weekend I hit the motherlode!  So if you’ve got some extra time, check those endcaps - you’ll be glad you did!

I love when Bath & Body Works has their whole antibacterial collection on sale. I hate the smell of the “regular antibacterial gel” and if you have the slightest cut on your hand…ouch! The soaps, gels, and lotions are all 4 for $10. This is when I always stock up!

Enter code BUNNY upon checkout. Offer is valid until 4/15/07.
