Get a FREE ConservingNow Static Window Cling for your car that can be easily placed on the driver’s side window to remind you when you are getting out of the car!

Now if I could only remember where I parked the car when I’m finished shopping…

We have two Starbucks pretty close to me, so I’ll probably grab an iced chai latte and a muffin before starting my day tomorrow!

These sample packs are great for keeping in the car for those unexpected emergencies, or in the guest bathroom for your guests with unexpected emergencies!

I’m not sure how long they’ll be available, so head on over and get yours today!

According to their website, herbal coffee is a blend of herbs, nuts and grains that are roasted and ground just like regular coffee.  There is no caffeine, but the flavor is robust and comparable to coffee.

If you try a free sample, I’d love to hear what you think!  My parents are coming to town in a couple months, and I’ll have them try out my free sample!

Once you register, you will also find a ton of useful articles and tools to help keep you moving!  My 9yo received a pedometer for his birthday and has gotten a kick out of tracking how many steps he takes in a day.  I think my 7yo will give him a run for his money with this one!

If your student has a “B” or higher average, they qualify to receive one free movie rental.  The offer is good for each student in  your family, from K – 12th. You can review the specific details here!

I ordered mine and had it sent to a Walgreens 2000 miles away so my mom could pick it up!

I have also enjoyed being able to access all of my Kindle books from my iPhone. For those times when I don’t carry my Kindle, I can always read on my iPhone, albeit with a much smaller screen.

Amazon has just released an application for Blackberry users. You don’t even have to own a Kindle, you can download the app to your Blackberry (or iPhone or PC — a Mac version is coming soon) and then download Kindle books to read via those devices.

I’m still surprised how much I like my Kindle, but I truly think it’s awesome. The only thing I wish is that I could download books from the library easily — but my husband has a Sony e-Reader which allows him to do that for us both.  If a Kindle isn’t in your budget, consider downloading the free apps to read books on your iPhone, Blackberry or PC.

They ask that you consider making a donation to the Children’s Miracle Network, or other children’s charity in exchange for the pancakes. They are hoping to raise $5 million in 5 years for the Children’s Miracle Network.

Visit their site for all the details.  I’m trying to figure out the best time of day to visit . . . this is one time that homeschooling has advantages!

Yum!  Use their store locator to find one near you.

If you take a picture of your free pretzel and upload it to their Facebook page, you might even win a t-shirt!

I haven’t used these products before, but I’m willing to try them with a free sample. These samples usually go quick, so don’t delay! Head on over and choose your freebie right away.

The question wants to know what pain relievers you’ve taken in the last 12 months, and then takes you to a page where you can enter your mailing information for a coupon to be mailed to you.

I know these coupons cost a bit more for manufacturers than printable ones, but I after the cost of ink and paper, printable ones never seem to be worth the savings.  I like actual coupons instead!

I’ve looked at these, but haven’t tried one yet — so I’ll head over there tomorrow morning before we start school.  My kids love the $1 kids hot chocolate!

And count down to potty training days!

If I would have known that, we would have visited Streets of New York instead for their Early Bird, Buy One, Get One Free Entree special. This deal is good for any 10″ pizza, entree or salad on Sundays through Wednesdays from 3 to 6PM.

Visit their site for specific details, including store locations. And save money the next time you eat out!

There are also hundreds of books in the public domain which are formatted for your Kindle Wireless Reading Device (6. Sometimes, when I search for free books, my search is cluttered by these public domain books.  Now, I have a few on my Kindle (Anna Karenina and Anne of Green Gables are 2 I just added!) but I often want to see just the newer books that are being offered at a low price.

If you search for Kindle Wireless Reading Device (6 books, you can sort them by Relevance, or Price.  Add  -domain into the search bar at the very top, and it will filter out all the public domain books (or most of them anyway!) from your search results.  This makes it easier to find books that were published in the last 10 years and are being offered for free.

Even if you don’t have a Kindle, you can download Kindle software for your computer or your iPhone.

Do you have any tips for your Kindle Wireless Reading Device (6?  Or questions about it?  Leave a comment!

You can request free samples by visiting their home page and clicking the yellow bubble near the top right of the screen.  I had to click it a couple times to get the form to load for me, but I did finally get it and can expect my samples in 4 – 6 weeks.

Grab some samples for yourself, and get a boost of energy!

One million tickets will be given away, and your entire family (kids must be at least 6yo) can volunteer and earn their admission.  Up to 8 family members per family can earn tickets.

You can even choose to donate your ticket to a charitable organization if you won’t be able to visit a park this year, or if have annual passes!

I think this is a great program and am looking over the organizations to see where we might volunteer this year.  Will your family participate? I’d love to hear about it!

Mine is going to look great on my refrigerator!

If you don’t have a Kindle, that’s okay — you can download Kindle readers for your PC or your iPhone at no charge and enjoy all the Kindle content.

I own the paperback of Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Recipes for Entertaining and have made a number of the recipes from it and felt it was worth the price. Free is an even better price, and I’m sure you’ll find some new recipes for your slow cooker.

If you go in the morning, enjoy a free breakfast December 26, 2009 through January 3, 2010! The offer is good for one small breakfast, as well as a cup of coffee before 11AM.

Plus, kids eat free all day during the same time frame.  They can enjoy any three kid-sized items to create a meal, including five meatballs, mac and cheese, PB&J Sandwich, kids yogurt, two cookies, chocolate milk and more! Kids under 12 only. No adult purchase required.

We love the swedish meatballs, and while I don’t think we’ve ever been for breakfast — we may just make the effort in the next couple weeks.

Enter the code AVODGIFT in the promotion code box and you will be able to spend up to $4 on movies or TV shows to watch on your computer or through your ROKU box. You could choose from the 99 cent Christmas specials and really make that $4 last!

Merry Christmas!

This year, I noticed that Bass Pro Shops was offering a free photo with Santa.  My kids love going there already to look at all the neat stuff, so this evening we headed over.  Pictures with Santa were from 5 – 8PM, and we arrived right around 5PM.  To avoid long waits, we were given a card with a specific time.  By the time we arrived, all the 5PM slots were taken, so we received a card for 5:30 — with the assurance that we wouldn’t have to wait more than 30 minutes in line.

The kids scampered off and were able to try their hand at shooting foam dart guns, target shooting, and driving remote control vehicles.  Before we knew it, it was time for their turn with Santa.

All 3 of my kids approached Santa, and he was very kind in greeting them and asking what they hoped for this year. They were not rushed at all, which really impressed me. (I had gotten so tired of the rush at the mall — and the hour + long waits in line!)  Then they stood and their picture was taken.  In less than 30 seconds, I had a very cute 4×6 photo in a frame.  At no cost!  Plus, we received coupons for a free kids meal at the restaurant in the store.

We were given a flyer with information about additional photo packages — all reasonably priced and offered with free shipping.  They also offer a download of the photo for only $1.99!  (I did go for that option, but ours isn’t available yet, which is why you see the shot I snapped with my phone.)

The kids played some more after their visit (my 2yo asked for rubber duckies and pink cake — LOL) and then we enjoyed a very nice, reasonable dinner in the restaurant.  I really appreciated that kids’ drinks were included in the kids’ meal prices.

I know where we’ll go again next year!!  If you haven’t yet gotten your photo with Santa, and you have a Bass Pro Shop nearby, I highly recommend you head on over!
