| Free or nearly free Tripod |
Mom Advice has posted a great deal on a tripod!
Buy.com is offering a KraftTech 60" Adjustable Camera Tripod w/ Nylon Carry Bag for $10 (usually $49.99). If you are a new Google Checkout customer you can get $10 off. If you change your shipping option to budget shipping then the shipping is free too, making your total cost FREE!
Even if you have used Google Checkout before it's still a great deal. My last tripod was a cheapy too and I got many year's use out of it.Labels: freebies, Hot Deals |

| Great Toy Deal at Target on Southfield RD |
I was at Target on Southfield RD (between 12 and 13 Mile RDs) and noticed they have the Fisher Price Bounce and Spin Zebra on clearance. I've had my eye on this toy for a while so I was pretty excited to find it for only $22.48. That's 50% off the normal price of $44.99!
I used the $10 gift card I earned on MyPoints and a $5 off $25 toy coupon I previously printed from Target's Website to bring my total cost down to $7.48!Labels: clearance |

| Free from ArtsCow - 400 prints and 1 8x8 photo book |
Do you have a bunch of photos you'd love to print but can't because you're short on cash? ArtsCow is offering 400 free prints (50 4x6 and 50 5x7 each month for the next 4 months) and a 8x8 20 page photo book (available May 31 thru December 31, 2008).
I haven't tried this site yet, but I sampled lots of different freebie offering sites when I was making scrapbooks for Christmas (five scrapbooks with a minimum of 40 pages each equals a lot of prints). I was happy with all of the prints I ordered and found that the quality was as good as you'd get from a pharmacy chain or better. I feel confident that ArtsCow will be just as good.
You can also earn photos by referring your friends through email or on your blog. But hurry because this offer is only good for a limited time!Labels: free stuff |

| MyPoints and Coupons |
Did you know that MyPoints now has printable coupons? Not only do you get valuable coupons you can print and take with you to the grocery store you can points for printing and using them!
Join MyPoints and earn point by reading emails, answering surveys, referring new members (hint, hint) and shopping at your favorite online retailers. You can redeem these points for gift certificates to use at your favorite stores. Last year I earned $75 in Target gift certificates by doing the things I usually do online.

I am not affiliated with MyPoints (outside of being a member) nor do I earn any money from them for posting this. MyPoints is a legitimate site that I've been a satisfied member of for years. I would be happy to send you a referral e-mail if you are interested, but you are, of course, free to join without one.Labels: printable coupons, rewards clubs |
