Amazon Sale Codes

Karen Weideman — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 02:05:07 +0000

Amazon is one of my favorite places to go shopping at. Why? haha, I don’t have to leave the house and most of the time I have tons of gift certificates from things I’ve done online. In the past few months I’ve racked up about $100+ in Amazon GCs and I’ve just discovered how to find more things on sale.

In case you don’t normally purchase online you just fill up your cart and click on check out. Once at check out you will get a chance to place your code or promotion. Here’s a few codes for you:

JUNEBAR8- Save $10 when you spend $39 or more.

SENSEO15- Save 30% on Senseo.

KETTLE45- Save 40% off Kettle Chips

Keep in mind when you spend over $25 you can also get FREE Shipping. Don’t forget to check out the bargains on Amazon. I’ve been searching for movies lately so my first stop is DVD deals where they have movies under $5.99 and others marked 50% off. Hope this helps.

You just go to Free Shipping On and use the tabs to find which items are available from Amazon or ebay with free shipping. Another tab takes you to a page that offers free shipping coupons for over 500 stores! The coupons are even organized by category.

Vote for ridiculous deals on Amazon

kellys — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 17:20:49 +0000

Ok, so there is a voting deal at Amazon this week. The way I understand it, you log in and vote for the deal you would like to purchase. The deals are ridiculously frugal! A Wii for $79. Everyone can afford that if for no other reason than to resell it. Although I don’t think that was the intended reason for offering such good deals. There are toys, computers, electronics, etc up for grabs.

The deal is, you go online at Amazon and vote for the gift of your choice. Then you go back on the day that round is to be purchased. The voting began on Thursday and will continue until next week. Each round has a different day for voting to be completed so don’t miss out. You can go and vote for each round on the same day if you want. Then go back on the buying day for that round and see if you were randomly selected to purchase the item you voted on. It’s that simple. So go and vote today and then back on the buying day for your round to see if you won. It’s worth a shot at getting some really nice gifts at more than cheap prices.

And don’t forget to let us know if you win anything.

Want to know what I voted for?

The Wii for $79 (This one is for the DH)
The panasonic digital camera for $499
The My first Computer by Leapfrog for $17 ( I really want this one for Turkey Butt)
The TiVo for $89
The laptop for $299
The Roomba for $69 (This one is for me YEAH!)

Free Amazon gift card with Coinstar

kellys — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 15:17:26 +0000

OK, you have heard me gripe about paying coinstar to count my money. Turns out, they have a great deal going right now. When you bring at least $30 worth of coins to a coinstar machine, you get a $10 gift card for Amazon.com. There seems to be conflicting reports as to what you have to do with the $30 you have counted. About says you have to buy an Amazon gift card with the $30 but then you spend $30 and get a total of $40 in gift cards. Coinstar says you just have to have your coins counted. Still sounds justified for your time to me.

I would miss rolling the coins myself for nostalgia but it is still a good deal.

Careful with Amazon.com purchases

kellys — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 16:11:40 +0000

I recently bought several books for my DD on Amazon.com for $.01. I thought I had gotten a great deal until I got to the checkout and realized that shipping was several dollars a piece. I got them anyway since I had purchased a car seat base as well and got a discount on shipping. The total shipping was not too bad with the discount so I justified it. Just watch out for the hidden costs like shipping and handling. They can bite you in the butt and you will loose the great deal you found.

Great deals on Christmas shipping

kellys — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 16:23:34 +0000

The holidays have officially begun. I love this time of year. The hustle and bustle of the shopping and making sure that all the decorations are up makes me get up and go! I know … I’m weird. But you love me anyway, don’t you?!?! One of my favorite traditions is going shopping on Black Friday with my MIL. We have a blast and then the men meet us with the kids for dinner. It’s great! This year we were talking about online shopping and she said that she doesn’t do it at all. I thought, “How sad”. At least it guarantees me a shopping buddy each year.

But online shopping can save a lot of time and you can still get great deals. The only draw back for me is the shipping. Some stores really get you there. So where are the great shipping deals this year? Here are some great ways to shop for nothing or next to it right from home.

Target has free shipping on over 15000 gifts for the holidays.

Toys-R-Us has free standard shipping and some buy 2 get the 3^rd free items that are really cool.

Wal-Mart, not to be outdone but who won’t loose money, offers 97cent shipping on some great video games, toys, and ideas for the home.

My all-time fave, Old Navy, has standard delivery for only $5. It’s not free but it is cheaper than going to the mall.

Amazon has free super saving shipping and 30% off above that.

Babycenter Store has free shipping on orders over $49 along with a great toy sale.

So shop from home and enjoy some extra time with family. I will and will love it forever.

Amazon has toys on sale for 50% off.

kellys — Fri, 15 Sep 2006 20:54:55 +0000

Amazon has a great sale going on for toys at 50% off with qualifying free shipping. I like that combo. It’s finally a great time to shop for toys for the wonderful Christmas season. Stop laughing at me. I am already shopping for Christmas. Who has enough money in the month of December to pay cash for the entire shopping list? I don’t. Well, actually that’s another post.

Frugal list of baby shower gifts from Amazon.

kellys — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 01:02:59 +0000

Amazon has a list out by saadia gives a pretty thorough list of frugal baby shower gifts. I agree with most of them except the diaper champ. I love mine and for the most part, never smell anything. I do, however, cheat and use deodorant bags from Hefty. I love lists!

Used children’s books at Amazon is an easy search.

kellys — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 20:34:53 +0000

Looking for a particular book but having a hard time finding them? I have talked about ADDall being a great place to find books. I also like Amazon. You can find used books for pennies, literally. And it’s easy to search for what you are looking for. I am in the market for some more Picture Me books. My daughter loves them. Just lump it all in your shopping cart and shop away.

This one’s for you, Robyn. Enjoy that free shipping.
