Free Sample of Pampers AND a chance to win diapers for a year!

If you head over to Pamper's Sample page you can request a three-pack of Pamper's NEW Crusiers with Dry Max diapers.  You can choose from sizes 3, 4 or 5.  And if you happen to receive a sample diaper stamped with "Team USA", you'll win diapers for a year!  They are randomly inserted into the samples, so everyone who requests one has a chance to win!

Target Sheets and Sporting Goods going to 75% off!

The clearance sheets, towels and more are going to 75% off today at the Greensburg, PA Target!  I'm getting the kids ready and running up - we need sheets, and I want to look for some bath sheets too.

I'll report back when I get home, they were in the process of marking things down as of 11:30am this morning - thanks to my wonderful Target-loving neighbor :-)

UPDATE:  Ok, towels were NOT marked down any more than 50%....but the sheets, comforters, pillow cases, bed skirts and such were almost all 75% off.  Some, like the flannel sheets were still 50%, and the higher-end brands were still 30%.  But I did find organic cotton and bamboo sheets and pillowcases for of75% off, queen size bed skirt for $3.74ish, and twin and queen sheet sets for 75% off.  The Organic Cotton and Bamboo pillowcases were only $6.74 for king size 2-pc set, 3.xx for standard. 

All those sporting goods type toys - kids tents, ball pits, dart boards, etc were 75% off too.  Bean bag toss for $3.08, Finding Nemo ball pit for 10$, Dora bowling set for 10$, and there was a ton more, but that's just what I grabbed.  Sporting goods like girl's soccer cleats, mouthguards and more were also 75% off.

Housewares - like the dishes and silverware were 75% off. Found some cute cookbook holders for $6.xx that will make great presents for my sister and mom...and I grabbed one for myself too!  Almost grabbed some more silverware, but hubby bought some using his ebay bucks a couple weeks ago, so I put those back.

Some toys are still 75% off too - mostly star wars, and some weird toy that connects to an online game I guess...I dunno, not into those.

Winter hats and gloves that are normally near sporting goods were also 75% off.  Found a great beanie with attached face mask for my son, for only $2.xx.

Some other good deals:

McCain Fries are on sale for $2.50, not the best price, but not bad for one of the only fries that doesn't contain trans fats.

Nabisco Triscuits, Wheat Thins, or Snak Saks (5.5-10oz) and Premium Saltines are 4 for 8$, and you'll get 1$ off instantly, so $1.75 each.  There are tearpads out there for 1$ off Premium Saltines wyb a can of soup, and there was a great coupon in last Sunday's SS for 1$ off any 1 Nabisco Cracker 6-16.5oz.  That would make the 75 cents a box!

Coke or Sprite 12pk cans are 4 for 11$ after 1$ off instantly.  I just purchased 1$/2 mqs from ebay (they were peelies from the looks of them).  So that would make them 4 for 9, or $2.25 each

Pillsbury Savorings are 3 for 8$ after a 2$ instant discount (must buy 3), and there is a 1$/2 mq coming in the 1/31 SS.  Soooo, If you would get 6 for 16$, use three of the 1$/2 mqs, it would come out to 6 for 13$, or a little over 2$ a box.  I love these things, and I'm going to see if there's any better coupons out there - but 2$ish a box is a decent price.  They're the perfect snack when I'm busy and they give me a sense of pampering myself....I know...it doesn't take much to excite me!

We need Entenmann's Little Bites for my son's lunch box, so I'm happy to see them on sale BOGO.

That's all that's jumping out at me at first glance, looks like a good week though!

Woot-Off! 1/26/10

If you've never wooted, you don't know what you're missing!  Woot.com is a site that normally sells one item a day, starting at midnight.  That items is one sale until they sell out, or until the next midnight comes around.

But!  During a woot-off, they have one deal after another.  As soon as one item is gone, another comes up.  You never know what you'll see on a woot-off.  It could be anything from handheld games for a penny, to professional knife sets for hundreds.  There could be only a handful of a certain item...or there can be thousands.  Some items seem to sell out as soon as they are live on the site...others, known as 'woot-killers' seem to be up for HOURS. 

During a woot-off you can order up to 3 of any item, and it ships for 5$ flat.  So whether you buy 1 or 3, you only pay 5$ shipping plus the cost of the items.  Each item ships separately, and you pay for each item separately.  If you buy an item for a penny, you'll pay $5.01, if you buy 3 of those items, you'll pay $5.03....so sometimes it makes more sense to just go ahead and get 3! 

I've got many gifts for others from woot-offs.  Some great, some not-so-great.  Many of their items are refurbished, or clearance type merchandise..so you never really know what the quality is going to be.  But if you click on the "Join the Conversation" on any item's page (or community at the top) you can see a thread for each item, and everyone gives reviews and price checks for your reference. 

Most likely if you spend any time at a Woot-off, you'll see several LED flashlights, a Roomba, or two...or three.  Sometimes a laptop, lots of gaming mice and keyboards, and sometimes a desktop computer.  Gadgets, butcher block knife sets, and the coveted Bag Of Crap!

What is a Bag Of Crap and why would you want one you ask?!  Why because for just a few dollars you could possibly end up with a big screen TV, or a laptop....or maybe just a bunch of random crap the Woot guys decided to thrown in your box.  Search youtube and you're bound to find many videos of people opening their Bags of Crap boxes.  Some are good, some are bad.  It's a gamble, and that's why so many love them.  I have yet to get a 'BOC'.  Came close last time...got to the order screen and it just kinda hung there for a while and then came up with "Sorry all sold out"    Oh well....there's always next time!

No one ever knows when a Woot-off will come, nor does anyone know how long they'll last.  Today is a fun day, as both Woot.com and Kids.Woot.com (goodies for the kids) have a Woot-off going on.  You can get trackers like Wootalyzer that docks a popup type window that displays the current item, price, and the approx. time until sell-out for you.  So I have the Wootalyzer fired up, showing one line for Woot.com and another for Kids.Woot.com. 

Almost every woot ends with either a set of Woot-off Flashing USB lights (they only show up on the site during a woot-off) or some Flying Monkeys plush.  We have a Christmas one,...you put your fingers in his little gloves which are attached to rubber band type arms, pull his body back and let him fly. He lets out a scream as he flys across the room and the kids love to use him to torture the cats, the dog...and me. Yay.... 

So check it out.  Get yourself some snacks, a few drinks, and get ready to Woot!
