FREE Pair of Eyeglasses with Coupon Code!

Oh I am SO PUMPED about this deal, I feel like a kid on Christmas day!! Coastal.com (similar to 1-800-Contacts, but with glasses too) is offering a FREE pair of frames and basic lenses to first-time customers!

Enter coupon code FIRSTPAIRFREE at checkout to get the deal. You just pay shipping, which starts at $10.

Offer doesn't apply to sunglasses or any of that goodness. You can opt for upgraded lenses and features, but you'll have to foot the bill for the difference.

And better yet, if you have a flex spending account, you can use your card to pay! I'm trying to use mine before I lose it since I'm changing jobs so I upgraded my lenses and added the protective coatings.

Go through Upromise or ShopAtHome and get 5% cash back!

Here's the pair I got, feel free to tell me how much you love them:

Christmas Gift Alert - 1¢ Gift Sets!

We know how I feel about that retail monstrosity that shall not be named *cough*Walmart*cough* but there are many of you who don't have many shopping options in your neck of the woods. So while I am still boycotting doing their weekly ad and coupon matchups, here is a deal that is too good for many of you to pass up.

With Christmas just around the corner, all of the gift sets and baskets are appearing in masses on retail shelves. Included are Olay, Venus and other HBA brands and are priced at $10. Inside is a voucher for a FREE magazine subscription, but you can opt out of the subscription and get a $9.99 rebate instead! This makes each basked 1¢!

 Also, through midnight, these gift sets are available on their website and include FREE shipping. While the free shipping is over, you can still qualify for free shipping with a purchase of $45, so you could knock out 5 gifts with this deal and not pay shipping. Purchase through  ShopAtHome and get 4% cashback, making the deal a moneymaker! If you're new to ShopAtHome, you get a $5 credit for signing up. Or you can get 2% cashback if you purchase through UPromise.

YMMV by store, but you could try to use a coupon for one of the items included in the basket, but I wouldn't try more than one.

Here are some of the participating gift sets:

Teen Vogue Gift Set — $10
Gillette Men’s Total Grooming Gift Set — $15
The Best in Beauty Allure Award-Winners Gift Set — $15
Venus Embrace Beautifully Smoothing Gift Set — $10
Olay Luscious Indulgence Gift Set — $10
Gillette Men’s Face & Body Gift Set — $10
Olay Luscious Embrace Holiday Gift Set — $10

Update: The rebate is limted to one per household.

1 Year All You Subscription for under $4!

In addition to the FoodSaver deal, here’s another AMAZING deal – pay as little $3.78 for a one year subscription to All You Magazine. This magazine is filled with coupons every month – the most recent issue had $90+ worth of coupons inside. You can get other magazines with this great discount too. You can get an additional $5 off at checkout with code FallMags, but it doesn't work with the All You subscription.

This deal is through ShopAtHome, which is a site that gives you cash back when you make a purchase through them.

Here’s what to do:

• Go to ShopAtHome and sign up (or sign in) - you get a $5 bonus when you sign up if you use my link
• Search for Magazines.com
• Click on the link that says “56% cash back"
• Once at Magazines.com search for “All You”
• Add a one year subscription to your account – pay $19.97

Within 5 – 7 days, you will receive 56% cash back in your ShopAtHome account - $11.18. That makes the cost of this magazine only $3.79 for new members and $8.79 for current members!


Note: Sites like these that offer discounts on purchases PLUS cash back are often AMAZING deals and should become one of your go-to plans for holiday shopping.

HOT: $70 Food Saver for $10!

(Actual screencap of my purchase)

Get it while it's hot! Today you can get a Food Saver handheld for as little as $9.99! That price includes tax and shipping. Vacuum sealing is a GREAT way to lower the amount of food waste when you're a couponer who keeps a stockpile to get you to the next sale. This would also make a great gift for Christmas, a housewarming, wedding, etc.

Here's how to get the deal:

• Sign up for ShopAtHome (use that link and it'll get you a $5 signup bonus) to get 7% cash back on the purchase
• Use the searchbar at the top to find the Food Saver page
• Once you're at the page, search for model FSMSSY0211-027
• Add it to your cart and at checkout enter coupon code J1FV88A

Voila! And you'll earn 7% cashback on that purchase, in addition to the $5 signup bonus! How ShopAtHome works is it gives you cashback on your online purchases that you make through the site. For example, if I was going to order something from Target.com, I would sign into ShopAtHome and go to Target.com, and then make my online purchase as usual. The only difference is, I earn cashback on what I was going to buy anyway. Once you get to $20+ in accrued cashback, you get a check in the mail!

Hurry, this WILL go fast.

Edit: I had to pay 70¢ tax. Oh, the horror!

$30 of Organic Fruit Snacks for $3!

Do you like to eat organic? Well, we have another awesome deal from Savemore - $30 of organic dried fruit snacks for $13 from Peeled Snacks.  I know what you're thinking - "I thought you said $30 for $3?! You went to Ohio State, shouldn't you be able to do math?" Well, $3 is correct and I can do math: If you're new to Savemore, you get a $10 instant credit jus for signing up! So head over and score your awesome snacks! These would be awesome for keeping in your desk at work, or for a gift basket!

Christmas Freebie: $30 off $30 at One Kings Lane!

Do y'all remember the post I did last week about the $15 credit to One Kings Lane? It's a chic home goods daily deal site. If you sign up here, you get an instant $15 credit! Note: you do have to use this link to get the credit. It is my referral link, but if you bypass it and go directly to the website, you won't have a $15 credit when you sign up. Plus, I don't get any credit unless you buy something. So if you find something you like, it's a win-win!

But NOW, there is a code for $15 off of a purchase of $30 or more. Combine that with your $15 credit, and that makes a free $30 gift! Use code "get inspired" to get the deal.

Note: Your total does have to be $30, not including shipping, for the code to work. Shipping will be around $7.

Here's an idea:

Purchase:   Toothbrush holder  +  Matching Tumbler




For $12 each (total for $24). Pick out another clearance item to get you to $30. Voila! You've got a matching tumbler set for yourself or to gift!

Or these are some of my other faves:

Set of four margarita glasses - $25





Coffee/Tea tower - $25

Christmas Freebie Alert - $25 off $25 Purchase at Helzberg Diamonds

 

Helzberg Diamonds has offered up a coupon code for $25 off of a purchase of $25 or more! Enter the code LOVE at checkout to redeem. They have a clearance and pre-owned jewelry section and the code makes quite a few things free or close to it.
