Free Movie Night!

I love Redbox and now Blockbuster has movie rental kiosks too! Our local Publix has one. You can pick up a free movie at your nearest Blockbuster kiosk using the code, SHTZFR1 until January 10th! Gotta love a free movie date. :) Now I just have to see if I can find free popcorn and raisinets.

Amazing Deal!!!!

This deal was just too good not to share. It is so good that I actually thought it was a scheme but Erik and I went out to dinner last night and verified that it works!!

Last night we went to Stax's Grill located at 850 Woods Crossing Rd. Greenville, SC 29607 (right near Haywood Mall) and our dinner was amazing. I had a filet and Erik had Shrimp Kalymnos which consisted of  Gulf shrimp baked with onion, feta cheese, tomatoes and Greek butter sauce. SO good. Well with this coupon (that we got for $2) our entire meal was less than $20 (with tip!)

Here is how I did it. I just discovered Restaurant.com. Here is their concept:

Restaurant.com is about celebrating the dining experience more affordably. We provide certificates for literally thousands of great restaurants – many of them right in your neighborhood – that bring you the fun and pleasure of eating out while spending less. Sound too good to be true? Not at all. Restaurant owners like us because we bring them new customers. And you’ll like us because we’re such a convenient way to enjoy an evening out whenever you want without busting the budget.

So in a nutshell, you can buy discounted gift certificates from restaurant.com to use at local restaurants. Normally they are about $10 for a $25 gift card, which is a great deal! But I found another discount code that takes an extra 80 percent off. So the $25 gift card was $2. The only catch... you have to spend a minimum of $35. But even then your whole meal is 12 bucks. Can't beat it.

The promo code is- CLEARANCE


Check it out and let me know if it works for you! :)

I love FREE!

So lately, we have been on a strict budget (so I can stay home with the little man.) I have been finding as many ways as possible to save mula. And I have been saving an unbelievable amount of money with coupons. Last week I spent 30.68 at Publix on groceries but I saved 41.26. It has really made a difference. I spend about an hour and a half every week clipping coupons and making my shopping list but with the amount of money I save it has been totally worth it. I decided I would try to post some of the best deals I find each week. Especially free things.

I love anything and everything that is FREE! So check out this coupon and enjoy!

FREE Christmas Cards!!

As most of you know, I am a HUGE fan of Shutterfly. I use them every year for our Christmas cards, and this year I used them for Harper's birth announcements and thank you cards. And I love their return address labels because you can add your own photos for a personal touch. 

Well good news!! Shutterfly is currently hosting a holiday card promotion for bloggers! And this is one promotion you will not want to miss! Bloggers can get 50 free holiday cards from Shutterfly if they blog about their experience with the company and the new holiday card collection! Check out all of the details here! 

When I send out Christmas cards I want them to have a personal touch and Shutterfly Christmas cards allow you to include tons of photos on every card. It makes it way more convenient than trying to print out photos and include them inside the card when you send them out. The cards are very high quality and the photos look clear, crisp, and vibrant. I went ahead and made a Christmas card to show you how absolutely adorable they are. (This isn't going to be the one I send out but it turned out pretty darn cute!) 

This photo shows the front of the card but the best part is Shutterfly allows you to put even more photos inside the card at no additional cost. So I usually put another 4 photos on the left-hand side of the card and have a nice Christmas verse on the right. This is the Retro Plaid Christmas card. Some of my other favorite designs are Seasonal Chic Noir, Bright Blooming Tree , and Monogram Snowman. Shutterfly came out with a ton of new Christmas card designs!! Check out their 2010 holiday card collection HERE!

They have matching address labels for almost all of their holiday cards but I usually go with a label that allows you to add a photo on it. Aren't these ADORABLE!!

Some of my favorite products are:

·         Christmas cards,  photo calendars, and Christmas gift tags. I think the photo calendars would be a GREAT gift for family and friends.

Fun Giveaways!!

I love contests. Just the thought of winning a fun prize is wonderful. The thrill of actually winning is even better. I have never won a contest done through a blog. But I have entered a few. Yesterday I came across a really fun blog, Shopaholic in Alabama, that has several adorable giveaways this week in honor of Mother's Day! A few of the prizes are Lilly Pulitzer items. I am slightly obsessed with Lilly, so you can imagine my excitement when I came across this blog! I wanted to tell you all about it. You can check out the Day 8 giveaway HERE!! It is for a Lilly Pulitzer large agenda from The Beach House Boutique! And the owner of the shop is even offering a 20% discount on one Lilly Pulitzer apparel item, exclusively for Shopaholic readers. If you live out of state, it is an awesome deal because you don't have to pay for tax on items shipped to you. So that will save you a few more bucks!
