Chelsea is a sexy beast!

Chelsea is a freaking SAINT! She sent me these awesome e.mails weeks ago and will all the family trauma, I haven't been checking myu e.mail like I should. But thye are so wonderul, I must share them with y'all!!

1) http://www.retailmenot.com/ I'm all about coupon codes for ANYTHING I buy online. This one seems to have a great number of coupon codes. Usually if I can't find anything just through a google search, I try Retail Me Not. which leads me to #2 -

2) http://www.ebates.com/If you sign up through the link below:

www.ebates.com/doublebonusoffer/index.htm?id=33318165

I'll get $10 when you sign up and YOU'LL get $10 when you sign up through my email address: chelseacc at the hotmail and then make your first purchase. (Typically you get a $5 bonus from a referral but they're running a promotion.) So Ebates is an awesome site where you go shopping online at the same stores you usually do, but if you go to ebates and then to another site (overstock.com, for example) and follow the link to Overstock, you'll get an additional 4% rebate on your purchase. AND you can use promo codes (retailmenot.com) in addition to this option. The $10 referral is only available until Feb 14th, so sign up your first account with my email address and then send out referalls to all yours and get bookoo bucks after they make their first purchase through Ebates. *if you want more details on why they'll give you money, go here: http://www.ebates.com/help/how_ebates_works.htm?navigation_id=18452 I gave my sis this bargain yesterday and instead of spending $420 on an armoire, she got it for $379, PLUS she'll get a check in the mail from Ebates for $15 from her purchase at overstock and $10 referral signup - she's getting it for $355! I should be the favorite sister.

3) http://www.todaysdod.com/This is an awesome site that shows all of the hot bargains of the day from a number of sites, including Woot and Ihavetohavethat.com. They tell you how many hours are left for the deal, what the sellout likelihood is and how hot the link is.

Shoot! I should have looked at this earlier - but I'm totally signing up on ebates anyway. THANKS CHELSEA!!!!!!!!

Hackety hack!

4 of my FAVORITE websites that help me hack my way through life:
http://www.familyhack.com/
http://lifehacker.com/
http://www.parenthacks.com/
http://ikeahacker.blogspot.com/ (this one gives ideas on different things to try with Ikea items - fab!)

Well anywho, there is arecent post on familyhack that is AWESOME on getting kids clothes on the cheap and the bunch of links to Amazon sales lists is my supppppper favorite!! 99 cents for a sweater??? AMEN!!!!

Frimp!

OOooo, our master shopper Chelsea (and Etsy goddess!) has given the heads up to a cool site - Frimp, the online yardsale! In her words:

Looks to be a bit like CL, but not as good, yet. something to keep an eye out for.

Hey, I can use as many outlets as I can find to get cheap furniture! Thanks, Chelsea!!

Cheaskatin' for babies

Okay, another one for those of us with little 'uns. BabyCheapskate is a mommy blogger and every week in addition to the deals she finds, she also scopes aroundto find the best prices on diapers and formula. You want to know how much your brand of choice is at Target, or CVS, Walmart, etc.? SHe's got them, plus there are links to find the ads and deals at your local stores.

That's some smart mommy-ing ;)

Smells like gambling!

Hmmm, found another site like woot (details about the funnest site on the planet here) but I just stumbled on IHAVETOHAVETHAT.com and it looks like the same idea. Hey, it's like playing a free lottery, might as well add it to your list, Olaf!

Do you Woot?

So, one of my husband's very first web visits of the day is to Woot.com. An insane little website, it only sells one thing a day, and when it's sold out, it's gone. All technology stuffs, all over the place, it's fun and you can get lucky. I have a fabulous mp4 player (video, music, pictures, records off TV, plays onto TV, so freaking awesome) he got me for a cool $120 on the site. My parents got their Roomba there too. You have to check it every day, the descriptions and comments can be hilarious, but all in all, it's a total trip. Today there's an mp3 player for $17.99 that is mighty serviceable.

It's the kind of place that when you get a deal, you really do want to say WOOT!, y'know??

More links than a fence!

Whew, be careful what you wish for! Much thanks to Olaf for his list of favorite deal sites on the web, they are indeed maaahhhhvelous!! I'm having way to much fun with them:) Here's the rundown of Olaf's Greatest Hits and such:
