Amazon Grocery deal just got better!!!

If you’re not interested in a free magazine subscription keep reading….
There’s another option as well.

I just found another deal you can link with the 55% off grocery coupon (CLRNCFTY) right now.

Special Offer with $25 Order (I believe your total would have to be at least $25 after the coupon in order for this to work).

Get a one-year subscription to Self Magazine (a $12.00 value) included with your order when you spend $25 or more at Amazon.com’s Grocery and Health & Personal Care stores.

or

If you don’t want the subscription to Self Magazine just make a copy of your Amazon confirmation/order and complete and send in this form to receive a $12 refund (the cost of the magazine subscription).

Hurry!!
Offer valid for purchases made between August 15 and September 15, 2008.

Just an example of what you could do with this….

I’m looking at the Starbucks Coffee

1 order of 3 bags is $29.55- 55% = $13.30
Buy 2= $26.60 (shipping on these is free for me because I signed up for the trial of Prime and these qualify). My description of Amazon Prime is here.
- $12 refund
Total= $14.60 for 6 bags of coffee that would cost me $9-10 each in the local store.

So I could spend $13.30 for 3 bags or $14.60 for 6
Can’t beat the gain for $1.30!!

Hot Deal on Magazines including Everyday with Rachael Ray

At lowpricesubs.com you can get 1 year of
Everyday with Rachael Ray for $1.60!!!

I just did it myself!!

They have several other magazines that you can do this with. Here are just a few examples that all work out to be $1.60 with the coupon code June (there is a note on their homepage about using the code July for 20% off but it didn’t work… I had found the code June here and it works perfectly)

Some are 1 year and some are even 2!

Bridal Guide Magazine

Cabela’s Outfitter Journal

Car and Driver

Four Wheel & Off Road

redbook

I purchased Everyday with R.R. (1 yr), Family Fun Magazine (2yrs), Wondertime (1yr), and Women’s Day (3yr for $5). My grand total was… drum roll please…. $8.80

They take credit card or Paypal for payment and you can expect your publications in 4-16 wks… for the price I’m willing to wait for them. Just printed my receipt and will keep it handy until they all come.

I had never heard of this site before, so this is my first attempt at using them. I did do some research and found that most everyone that has ordered from them was satisified with what they received. I felt like for $8 it was worth the try for me.

Hot, Hot, Hot!! 55% off Amazon Groceries!!

55% off of grocery items at Amazon with coupon code CLRNCFTY.

Code is good through 9/30/08, but good items are going fast so order soon!

If you look around there are some good buys on items that never have coupons.

I might have to order some Starbucks coffee myself. We stopped going there and I did some research and bought a good espresso machine and now we just make our own coffee beverages… they’re even better than the ones they make if I must say so myself.

Also, if your purchase doesn’t qualify for free the free shipping over $25,
sign up for the free trial of Amazon Prime to get shipping free!!

Free Bracelet for women and teenage girls…

Free Take a Test-Not the Risk Bracelet for women and teenage girls… a reminder that you can be disease stricken when you are sexually active even when you use a condom! If you didn’t know that, check out this site and sign up for the bracelet. There is a lot of good information on the site as well.

This topic is dear to me as I worked in an OB/GYN office for six years and we saw it everyday. You can carry HPV for years with no signs or symptoms and normal pap tests and then one day it becomes active and starts causing the cells on you cervix to change. That is why it is so important to have paps done on a regular basis even if you are no longer sexually active. You may be fine for 20+ years and one day, Bingo!, changes start to happen. It’s important to catch those changes early so that it can be stopped before it becomes a serious problem.

Also keep in mind that there are some new vaccines out to help prevent the most common/serious forms of HPV. They are better served to be given before someone becomes sexually active, but can have some benefits if you already are. Talk to your doctor about your options.

To see a website for one of the vaccines, click on the I CHOSE above.

Ebates

This is another great site where you can earn money when you shop.

With Ebates you earn money with each person you refer to their site that signs up. Right now that amount is $5 and at times they run specials with a higher rate.

They often offer coupons for stores to give you an added discount on your purchase, and you also earn money back from them every time that you log-in with them and then go shopping online.

Ebates has over 900 stores online that they partner with to bring you the savings. If you’re going shopping online at almost any store, they probably partner with that store. They don’t offer ebay though if that is one of your primary shopping sources.

You earn money on Ebates when you shop through them or when you have a referral sign up under you. You don’t earn money when your referrals shop through them. There referral bonus is a pretty nice incentive to use them and their % back is pretty good.

It’s worth the effort to check them out. They are a reputable company known to pay.
