Yummy Deal!

National Pancake Day is quickly approaching and my favorite quick stop for pancakes is definitely honoring the day with FREE pancakes. IHOP will have free pancakes on March 1st. The best part? While they aren't requiring this, they are offering you to not only enjoy your sweet pancakes (trust me, mine would be covered in strawberry syrup) but also donate to a great charity. The donations made on National Pancake Day will go to the Children's Miracle Network. Free pancakes + donation to a good charity = great day!

Thank you Penny Pinchin Mom for the head's up on this one!

Free Photo Postcard

I love this freebie! It is actually one of my all time favorites. I tried it earlier this month when the freebie option was for 10 photo postcards and all of my recipients truly enjoyed the gift of an adorable picture of Huddy arriving in their mailbox. This site is super simple to use and the end product is wonderful quality. Each of my recipients received this sweet smile in their mailboxes.

How does it work?

You simply upload 1 Free Photo Postcards. You can select pictures from your cellphone or your computer. I chose the computer option, because my cell phone at the time did not produce print quality photos. After uploading your photo, you can then add a 250 character message for your recipient. Despite the fact the website is www.cellphonepostcards.com, you do not have to enter your cell number or even use your phone at all.

This is a great way to surprise and brighten someone's day :)

Maybelline Freebie

Maybelline Fit Me Makeup

"FLAWLESS LETS THE REAL YOU COME THROUGH 
BEYOND MATCHING: FRESH, BREATHING, NATURAL SKIN"

I have seen advertisements for Maybelline's new line of Fit Me cosmetics, however I have not tried any of the products yet. I am not a huge fan of foundation, I actually can't stand the way it feels on my face. I wear it from time to time but not everyday. My other biggest complaint is that the shade always seems either too light or too dark for my skin tone. The new line from Maybelline introduces 18 different shades, so that users will be able to find a better match, and consequently have a more natural look. I am willing to try this one, and a sample is the perfect place to start.

Go here to request your free sample of Maybelline FitMe Makeup.

Thank you Penny Pinchin' Mom!

Freebies for Me

I love freebies! There is always something exciting about opening your mailbox and receiving tons of little gifts. Each day I am on the lookout for freebies that catch my attention, spark my interest, and leave me anxiously checking the mailbox each day for their arrival.

Steps to follow for successful freebie sign ups

One.

Setup a new email. Do not use your everyday email for freebies, your inbox will be flooded with unwanted emails. However, setting up an email that is just for freebies and coupons, is a great way to organize all of your savings into one neat inbox. I also make sure to check this email regularly and delete everything I don't need.

Two.
Check the source of your freebie. If it sounds too good to be true, trust your instincts. I only sign up for freebies from companies I know and trust.

Three.
Keep your eye out. Most great freebies show up and disappear before you can click your mouse. Remember, you aren't the only one wanting to score these amazing deals. Find a blogger you enjoy that gives updates on all freebies, I use Freebies 4 Mom. Following an avid deal watcher will give you the greatest advance and news on upcoming deals.

Four.
Keyword, freebies are free. Do not ever pay anything for a freebie, not even shipping. A true freebie does not require payment and be leery of any that do as this could be a scam for your credit card info.

Five.

According to Freebies 4 Mom, do not sign up for "trials". She says, "If you see the word “trial” then stop. Just don’t do it! I don’t recommend doing any free trials, because a free trial means you will be billed. Yes, they say you can cancel at anytime but many things can happen which will result in you still getting a bill. You typically see free trials for magazines. Don’t do free trials, there are lots of free samples of magazines available."

These are just some basic tips, if you would like to know more, I suggest reading "Be a Smart Freebie Finder".

"Help keep your pets safe with a free pet safety pack from the ASPCA! In the event of an emergency, our pet rescue window decal alerts rescue personnel that pets are inside your home. The safety pack also includes an ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center magnet—a great way to keep the APCC's toll-free emergency number and website address handy in case your pets get into something they shouldn’t!"- ASPCA.org

Deal of the Day

I adore furniture! I could spend hours in a furniture store, or better yet thrift store. I also have a love for clean lines, something about them just make my world that much better. Clean, modern styles always draw my attention. However, touches of antiquity light up my life.  As part of our move, I was able to pick out a specific little niche in our house to be my office. I love the room, it is actually a closed in porch. The walls are stucco and the ceiling is wood. Everything is painted white, and I LOVE it. Three walls have windows and the natural light during the day is amazing. The only thing missing was the perfect desk. I have searched furniture stores and online, and yet nothing had caught my eye. Today, we peeked in a thrift store and and this desk immediately grabbed my attention.

The lines are perfect. It is simple. It needs work.

I love reworking furniture, there is something magical about a piece of sandpaper and a paintbrush. I can't wait to see the final product.

I know you must be wondering, how much was it? How does it qualify as a deal of the day? My "perfect" new desk only cost me $30. I am considering sinking another $20 into it to bring it back to life. In the end, the cost will be $50.
