I have received a few of the free Fisher Price Planet Heroes dvds, but now I’m excited to let you know that there’s something for the girls. Fisher Price is giving away Precious Places dvds.

The Precious Places dvd includes a short 12 minute episode, The Princesses Save the Ball. (You can also watch the episode on the page where you order.) After ordering, you should receive your dvd in a few weeks.

To get your free Precious Places dvd, click on the green button that says, “Order your free DVD!”. Then you need to select your country from the top right pull-down menu. You must go through all four steps to get the DVD.

I’m going to put my free dvd in “The Mommy Store”. Hmmm, I haven’t told you about The Mommy Store yet. I’ll have to do that another time.

What will you do with your free dvd?

$5 for a Movie Rental?!

Karen Weideman — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 14:32:17 +0000

I’ve been wanting to see Fireproof for quite some time now. I frugally resisted going to the theaters to see it and decided to wait until it was released to buy or rent the movie. From the reviews I’ve read, I figured it was a movie worth buying, just like Facing the Giants. I haven’t had a chance to look in the stores for the flick; after all I live 30 minutes from Wal-Mart!

Sunday I decided to stop by the local Movie Gallery to rent it for my husband and me. There was only one video left on the shelves. I took it up to the front and almost croaked when she told me $5.11!!!!!!!

Five dollars and eleven cents to rent a movie???? Are they insane? The lady probably thought I was crazy because I thought $5.11 to rent a movie was an outrageous price. She said, “Well, we’re cheaper than Blockbuster and you get to keep it until Friday.” For $5, I should get to keep it for a month!

If I didn’t live 30 minutes from any decent stores, I would have bought it instead of renting it. I just can’t get over how much movies cost to rent. Apparently it has been a while since I’ve rented a movie.

Do you rent movies often? Do you have a membership such as Netflix?

Are 2 for 1 Coupons Worth It?

kellys — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 12:05:10 +0000

So today I wanted to buy a Disney DVD for Turkey Butt. I was pleased to see a $6 off coupon on the front. So I go the DVD and took it to the cash register only to find that the coupon was a way to get more money from my wallet. The coupon was only good if I bought 2 DVD’s. There weren’t 2 DVD’s I was interested in. So I bought the DVD with no coupon. Let me tell you that just chapped my hide! If you are going to give me a coupon, just give it to me. Don’t make me buy a certain number of items to use the coupon. Do you think this is a trick worth using or not? What do you think?

Wiggle it away

There is a great little blog contest over at aPARENTly speaking. I have to give you my favorite nursery rhyme. My grandma used to say all the time a nursery rhyme that I tell my kids every day.

It goes like this: “I love you little. I love you big. I love you like a little ole’ pig! ”

I hope we win the wiggles DVD! My Turkey Butt loves them.

Save On New Release DVDs

Karen Weideman — Sat, 11 Nov 2006 04:28:06 +0000

Is there a particular movie that you would like to own on DVD? If so, then I suggest buying it the week it is released to the stores. The first week a movie is released, you can usually save five or more dollars then you would if you bought it in the following weeks. Tonight I was at Target and bought the new “Cars” movie for $15.99. I saved $4 since I bought it the week of its release. The cashier also gave my kids a Cars light up pin. Those had to be worth a couple dollars each. It was a win-win for us. Target has the movie on sale through Saturday. You can also buy the movie on the Target website for $14.99. Be sure and check shipping costs before ordering. This movie would definitely make a great Christmas gift.

Disney on Demand is a frugal idea

kellys — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 20:07:04 +0000

My daughter is really starting to get into the Disney channel. I like the shows but the Dish bill is killing our finances. Granted, it is still cheaper than cable or buying a few DVD’s every month. But I ran across a great little article from the Frugal Duchess, who is cheaper than I am, and will try her idea.

Turns out, you can download most of the shows that run on Disney for free! How cool is that. Now if only Noggin would let us buy a DVD of all their videos, my daughter would be in Heaven.
