Pampers/Luvs Deal on Amazon

This looks like a great deal for stocking up on diapers.  Amazon has 15% off Pampers and Luvs with code PMPLUVJN, and you can save an additional 15% if you sign up for their subscribe and save program.  That's a huge savings if you use these brands.  Free shipping with any purchase over $25, so you'll get it all delivered right to your house.

Here are a few of the items available, and I'll figure out the price per diaper.  For me, this is a huge savings, probably even more than doubling up coupons and pairing them with sales.




The wipes--This is 4 of the 192 count refills, which I can usually find on sale for $5.50, 50 cent coupon would make them $5 each, $20 + 7% sales tax for me = $21.40.  The regular price of $24.48 isn't all that great.  They can be closer to $7 not on sale, but I don't buy when they aren't on sale.  Take 15% off, then an additional 15% off, and the price drops to $17.69.   Remember there is also no sales tax charged on products from Amazon, so this is a huge savings.

The big packages of 150 Luvs size 5 diapers comes down to $25.92 and brings the price to 17 cents per diaper, which is really great.  Compare the price to Sam's club pricing, and don't forget the sales tax at Sam's.

Just remember to do the subscribe and save, and don't forget to cancel it when you no longer need it--like tomorrow.  ;)

Free Sesame Street Ebooks

This is one of our family's favorite books!  It was one of my favorites as a child, and now the kids love it, too.  Sesame Street has ebooks that you can purchase, but they also offer a free book every week.  Sign up for their newsletter to receive notice of the new ones.  This week is "The Monster at the End of This Book."  If you've never seen this book, you have to check it out.  It's a must-have for every home library.

Looking around, I can't believe the prices listed to buy this book online.  If you have somewhere to get Golden Books, I'm sure you can get it much cheaper there.  We find lots of great books at garage sales.

...And that will teach me not to read the whole email before I post.  There are 4 more free ebooks this week.  Bert and Ernie--The Penguin, 1, 2, 3, Count With Me, So Big!, and Color Carnival.

Deals from my Inbox

Some good deals going on right now, so I'll hit a quick overview of everything I see:

• Stride-Rite is having a sale in store and online (with free shipping!)
• Amazon has several shoe deals going on right now.  First, Save 20% each on Qualifying Items offered by Shoe Mall when you purchase 1 or more. Enter code CROCSALE at checkout.

• Here's a great deal on printer paper!  For two days only, get a free CASE of paper with $100 delivery order from Office Depot.  Just to show you what else you could do to sweeten this deal... At MyPoints, a $100 order would get free shipping, and you would receive 1000 points, which is about the equivalent of a $10 gift card.  It would get you 200 SwagBucks, and it would get you $2 cash back through Ebates.
• Sample Sunday at Prairieland Herbs, Northern Prairie Chevre, and Picket Fence Creamery this Sunday.  I already posted the link and more information in the calendar.  If you've never been there, you really must.  It is so much fun.

• Family Video has Home Improvement season 1 for $8.99 as their steal of the day.  It's currently $11.99 at Amazon, so it's a pretty good deal.

I'm going to send this one like this, since it's taken me all morning to get what is in there.  If I get more time this afternoon, there are some other good deals I want to share.

I am hopelessly behind on everything this past couple of weeks as we get ready for being out of school, and am slowly catching up on emails and blogging.  Doing my best, so bear with me.  As always, be sure to see the calendar on the right for fun free events.  I do mostly local events, but there are also many national chains offering free fun, so check it out.
