You are also in luck, Amazon has them on Gold Box deal today (2/18/12) for 43% off all Ekobrew cups. These are the cheapest prices I’ve seen on these ever so I would buy them today if you are going to get one.

Clif Mini Bars vs Clif Kid Zbar?

So we are out of our favorite Clif Kid Zbars. I LOVE these things and so do my kids. I love that they are all natural, no high fructose corn syrup, no preservatives or artificial flavors, no hydrogenated oils or trans fats and my kids gobble them up and think it’s a big treat. Not to mention I usually eat them too.

BUT I usually always get them on an Amazon Subscribe and Save option making for a really good deal (it’s near impossible to match these prices in-store). It’s not being offered right now (and I’ve been watching for a week or so). So instead I ordered the Clif Bar Mini Energy Bars Variety Pack (36ct). The price was right at $17.75 shipped using subscribe & save (.49/bar). But I’ve never tried them before and I’m hoping they are equal to the Kid Zbars for us.

These are supposed to be a 100 calorie version of the regular Clif Bars and the reviews look stunning on it. Have you ever tried them? What did you think? I haven’t met a Clif bar I didn’t really like so I’m not really worried. Now I’m just more hungry for them than anything :) .

 

All You Magazine for $1 an Issue – Snag That Subscription!

Amazon has the 1 year auto-renewal of All You magazine for just $12 right now. The normal price for a 1 year subscription is $19.99, an $8 savings! The auto-renewal option mean that your subscription will automatically renew itself when the year is up. You can however go into your settings in Amazon and manage your subscriptions and cancel the renewal bit.

If you don’t get All You already or aren’t familiar with the magazine, it’s a “money-saving” magazine that has lots of articles on ways to save money with groceries, shopping, cooking etc. I normally always find a good recipe or two in it, always a good article to read and every month there is anywhere from $50-$100 worth of manufacturers or store coupons. I find that this magazine generally always more than pays for itself. Hey, how many other magazines are even attempting to pay for themselves?

All You magazine is a no-brainer subscription for someone who is couponing or trying to just save some money. Especially since the only other way you can get it is at Walmart in the checkout aisles for $2.50 each …. ouch. Save that $1.50 and snag the $12/yr on Amazon (even tack onto your current subscription).

 

Amazon Coupons & Other Money Saving Tips!

Did you know that Amazon regularly has coupons? You can see all the coupons available on Amazon right now here. Sometimes this can make for a good deal, especially if you like to buy something in bulk.

Personally I use Amazon to buy some of my specialty foods we like like Fruit Leathers and Clif Granola Bars. Not everything is a good deal, but a lot of times finding specialty items you know you enjoy and can’t really get cheap/coupons in-store end up being a lot cheaper if you buy in bulk on Amazon.

Here are some tips on getting a good deal on Amazon.com:

  • Check to see if there is a coupon
  • See if there is a Subscribe and Save option – this gets you a 15% cheaper discount when you sign up for it to be a scheduled purchase. The greatest things about Subscribe and Save is that you get free shipping and as soon as you order the first one, you can go in and manage your Subscribe and Save orders and cancel them with no changes to your order! This is useful though if you know you run out of something once a month and don’t want to think about it.

  • If you order things from Amazon frequently sign up for Amazon Prime. I went years without it and I would constantly be trying to get my orders to the $25 Super Saver Shipper limit to get free shipping. Now I get everything shipped free 2-day delivery! It feels like a steep cost but really it’s $6.58/mo when you break out the $79 annual cost. You’d be surprised when you look back over a year how much you pay in shipping for things and then having to WAIT a long time to get them.
  • Another note on Amazon Prime – if you have it you can download TONS of free ebooks (even without a Kindle, just download them to your computer, phone, tablet etc.). As well as free streaming movies from Amazon!

  • If you are a mom – sign up for Amazon Mom, where you get additional discounts on baby items as well as a free trial period of Amazon Prime.
  • If you are a student – sign up for Amazon Student – You get 6mo of Free Amazon Prime benefits!

Combine any of the tips above and you are rockin’ a deal! Take a coupon and apply it towards a Subscribe and Save option and use your free 2-day Amazon Prime Shipping and you’ve become and Amazon deal pro!

 

Check Out This Fun (& Educational) Valentine’s Day Toy!

I think kids and Valentine’s Day is a cute combo! When I was a kid, the day seemed so magical… chocolates, flowers, LOVE. Well, fast forward to now, not so much. BUT it is still cool for kids!

I found a couple of neat Valentine things that might make a kids’ day. After all, when you are little aren’t mamas and daddys Valentines to our kids? I’m certainly in no hurry to reach that point where someone else is.

Start the day with some “lovely” breakfast. Make pancakes or eggs (or cookies later on) with some heart shaped rings – a set of 2 rings is only $5.27!

Curl up and spend a family evening (or during the day) watching Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown. You can grab it from Amazon for $11.99 right now.

Also, make giving chocolates fun and educational with the Learning Resources Smart Snacks Hide’N'Peek Chocolates toy. It’s a toy that has differently shaped and colored candy shells, making opening candy a learning game. You can hide your own treat inside (hence controlling what treats they get). It’s $13.10 right now on Amazon right now and looks like so much more fun than a plain ol’ chocolate heart with foil wrappers that end up everywhere and can become “food” for a toy kitchen afterwards.

Everything above is eligible for free shipping with Amazon Prime or with $25 Super Saver Shipping.

Also, I accept gifts every day of the year and want to thank you in advance for sending me this 2lb bag of dark chocolate pomegranate seeds! ;) A girl can dream right?

Method Products on Amazon With Subcribe & Save Option!!!

So for years I’ve used various Method products and recently I’ve been phasing everything out to this brand. A while back I had a bit of a scare where my son decided he was going to get ahold of my all-purpose cleaner and spray several squirts of it into his mouth before I caught him. After calls to Poison Control and lots of cups of water (and an alright child thank goodness!) I wondered why I was having harsh chemicals in my house for basic cleaning anyways.

Method is a fantastic all-natural brand of cleaning products! And Amazon has these in bulk with Subscribe & Save options for many of the products. They don’t always offer Method products with the Subscribe & Save option (which you can cancel immediately after ordering but using it gives you an additional 15% off), so if you are interested and see it with the option, it’s the time to grab it!

The 28oz Method Cucumber All Purpose Cleanser in the 8-pack is $27.01 shipped! That works out to be $3.38 each. This might seem high but you are paying for quality all-natural products. Yes, you can clean with vinegar and water, but it’s nice to be able to have a ready mixed product with a cool clean scent (the cucumber one is really nice).

Also, this Method Spearmint Antibacterial Bathroom Cleaner is Uh-Ma-Zing!

 

Keurig Addiction Getting Expensive?

Yeah, mine is!

I LOVE my Keurig, but I also love specialty coffee. My brother-in-law works at a small coffee shop and has given me some amazing blends of coffee. So I am ordering myself the Ekobrew refillable k-cup from Amazon so I can use the special coffee, but in my Keurig!

The Ekobrew is the highest rated reusable k-cup and makes using your Keurig that much more environmentally friendly and less expensive (because unfortunately, all those little cups isn’t). And the price isn’t bad at all, it’s only $12.39 on Amazon!

I can’t wait to get mine!

 

Free Organized Simplicity eBook Download!

There are always tons of free Kindle downloads on Amazon but I don’t want to waste too much time posting about all of them but I did want to share this one.

Right now you can grab the Kindle version of Organized Simplicity for free! I snagged this a few days ago and started reading it. I became immersed in it and I’ve read about half of it right now. It’s got some really useful information in it, so I’m definitely recommending it.

I don’t have a Kindle, but I’ve grabbed the Kindle app for my computer and I just download it to my computer and read it here. You can get apps for iPhone, Blackberry and lots of other platforms too.

 

Yum! Pirates Booty: A Delicious Gluten Free Snack!

Amazon has the 12pk of 4oz bags of Pirates Booty for $22.95 when you use the subscribe & save option! This is only $1.91 a bag! If you have bought this in-store before you might know this is normally $3-4 a bag and this is a steal.

This snack is a fantastic alternative to some of the more unhealthy options out therefor snacks (and it’s cheaper than a bag of Cheetos!). I’m not going to say these are healthy but everyone likes a yummy snack every now and then and it doesn’t have to be a big greasy mess. These are gluten free, cholesterol free and REALLY REALLY good! They are really cheesy and easy to devour a whole bag, so you will want to buy it in sets of 12 ;) !
