I have been meaning to put together a post about keeping a “gift stockpile” but have not had the chance.

I keep a closet in my house stocked with gifts for unexpected needed presents, or for the MANY parties that my kids get invited to. I figure we go to about 5 a month between all the kids. I buy many toys discounted and keep for parties.

This time if year, I keep a little money set aside for buying these kinds of gifts. You can get tons of marked down nice toys for a fraction of the cost.

Today, until Jan 1st at Toys R Us they are having a Buy 2 get 1 Free sale on Hasbro toys. PLUS you get a free toy when you buy $20 or more worth of toys!

This is what I did:

Buy 3 Play Doh Mr. Potato Head Sets  $12.99 each
Total = $25.98 (after B2G1 free promo)
Get a FREE toy via the in-store promotion (up to $14.99 value)
Submit for the Hasbro Supercharge Your Gift Card & Cash Promo and get a free toy valued at $10-$17!
Final Cost $25.98 + 2 FREE toys!

Go HERE and do a search for Hasbro toys to find the ones for B2G1 free. They had some nice Nerf things also.

Thank you for all the emails on this one! Go HERE and reserve your FREE Spicy Chicken Biscuit. I am sure this is just like last year with the sandwich!

This is one of many reasons why I LOVE Chik Fil A… We won some free kids meal coupons at a Christmas party a few weeks ago. They say dine in only. I have not been out of the house since Sunday morning so I wanted to grab some lunch, but was not going to drag 6 ( I left 3 at home) kids with chicken pox into ANYWHERE esp. Chik Fil A, so I called ahead and asked if they would take them through the drive-thru. They said they would. When I got there the line was so long I went inside (by myself) and ordered. I explained the kids were sick and that I swear I had 7 kids for the 7 free kids meal coupons I had. I was expecting him to not take them all. But he did!! And explained that they will take as many coupons as you have in one order! Plus, he walked all my HUGE order out to my car and gave me free brownies for the kids! I LOVE Chik Fil A!

Shasta emailed to let me know what good deals they have right now on Crocs. Many are 70% off. Plus, you can use coupon code FABULOUS10 for 10% more off, even on sale items.

These are called Tully Slippers and they are $9.99 (was $29.99)

The Men’s Flips are $9.99 ( they were $19.99) + 10% more off.

There are a ton of kids shoes for $9.99, these are the GABE style above, the Disney are still $9.99 and there are a few marked at $7.99.

This is what I usually do, go HERE to Crocs, then I take a look through the outlet section. Next I go to the girls and boys and search PRICE from LOW to HIGH. When I am ready to check out, use coupon code FABULOUS10 to get another 10% off. Shipping is either free or $2.99.

Well, here we go another House Party that I won’t get picked for 🙂

I sure hope one/some of you get picked!!

House Party is a great place to sign up to host a party from a company that wants to promote their products. You get some cool free stuff and have a lot of fun. Thanks Deal Finding Chik!

If you are selected for the Freschetta party you will get the following:

• Gratuity coupons for Freschetta® Pizzas
• Pizza slicer
• Freschetta® oven mitt
• Plus so much more

I just did something crazy! I know, I am living on the edge 🙂 I went and signed up for a Netflix account. I am sure that many of you already have one, and this is old news, but I actually didn’t know I could have been using it with our Wii. I signed up to use it with the PS3 and it was super easy! I have a bunch of sick kids and ran out of movies so I went over, signed up, entered the code found in the PS3 users manual and TADAAA! We are watching James and the Giant Peach!

We are sooooo bad about returning movies to Red Box, I am almost better just buying the movie in the first place. PLUS I get a FREE trial month so I figure it was worth a try! Go HERE to take a look!

I am on the $7.99 a month unlimited plan:

• You can instantly watch TV episodes and movies on your computer or right on your TV via your Wii™ console, PS3 system, Xbox 360 or other devices that stream instantly from Netflix. Watch as often as you want, anytime you want.

Do you use Netflix? Do you like it??
