Kidsville Playtown ~ 10% birthday party discount!

 Mention San Diego Deals and Steals when you book your kiddo's birthday party and you will get 10% off!



 

Kidsville Playtown.....my kid's favorite hang out!

 
So by now you probably know that our family is in LOVE with Kidsville Playtown - located in the Plaza Camino Real Mall in Carlsbad.
From the first time we went to Kidsville Playtown my little boy would not let up about a Kidsville birthday party.  'Mommy PWEEEESE can I have a pirate party at Kidsville?' His little 'Pweese' still melts my heart and I just really wanted to make it happen for him.

We've got two kids and it seems like we are always throwing a birthday party! It is so special - but of course exhausting!  We've always gone to a park or had friends and family over to our backyard.  We've never done anything fancy, but it still adds up.  I honestly thought having a party anywhere else would be too expensive, until I stopped to think about it....food, favors, entertainment, park rental fee, balloons, plates, cups, napkins, party hats, candy for the pinata.....it adds up pretty quick!




More fun than he can handle!


 

 So I decided to look into what my little guy really wanted - I was surprised to see you can have your party at Kidsville Playtown for as little $250 and it includes pretty much everything I would have had to get and they do EVERYTHING for you!  Our parties are never fancy but I know when it is all added up we spend more than that! 

For $250 the birthday child and 10 friends get into Kidsville, a party host (ours was awesome!), crafts, decorations, table clothes, table ware, music, all in a private room - and unlimited free play before and after the party!  Even more is included! Check out the list!



Our very own Pirate Host interacted the whole time!



We decided to go big with the Kidsville Themed Party which is a little more but well worth it! Themed parties are $350 - they have all the is included in the first but EVERYTHING is themed to your specifications. Our host was dressed as a pirate and was very interactive with the kids and so helpful!  There were little pirate party outfits for all the kids to dress up too (my favorite part!), pirate crafts and decor, it also included pizza and juice boxes for the kids.  Each kiddo got to take home a balloon, their craft, and a special gift from the treasure chest.  Check out some of the themes you can have here!  They have lots of themes to choose from but you can always suggest a theme and they do their best to make it happen.  My little girl has already requested a 'Fancy Nancy' Party..............stay tuned!        



Crafting away!

 *my favorite part*....I didn't have to clean up! That alone has sold me!
There is also a 'Do It Yourself' Party that includes 8 admissions and a private room is only $125!

This was hands down the most fun birthday party my kids have ever had and it was the most stress free!  The only thing we had to do was send out an Evite and bring a cake!



Happy Birthday Pirate! How did we get to 4 so fast???

 Oh! Did I mention - it was raining the day of his party? Often times we rent out a space at a local park for a small fee - we would have been rained out and had to change plans. The bad weather only made our party inside Kidsville even better! Our kids and our guests got to burn a lot of energy - free bonus!

MENTION SAN DIEGO DEALS AND STEALS WHEN RESERVING YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY AND YOU WILL GET 10% OFF!

Last day of 30% off at Gymboree

If you enjoy Gymboree - make sure to head over there today! It is the last day of 30% your entire purchase....but wait - there is more!

Do you get Parents or Family Fun magazines (side note - I get these both for free)

Both usually have coupons for 20% off at Gymboree - and you can combine it with the sale!

I love Gymboree - but my M.O. is to wait for a sale like this, have a 20% coupon AND I always head to the clearance rack (that often has a few items marked down as much as 80% already)

- can we say raw silk dress originally $59 for $11? - yes we can - it's happened to me - what has your best deal been?

Westfield Wednesdays - free coupons & discounts for the Mall

Sign up for Westfield Rewards at the Carlsbad Mall - you can sign up at the kiosk by the elevator.

They give you a card with retailers discounts - they will also have family activities.

a few of the retailers included

Children's Place
Famous Labels
Claire's
Pat & Oscars
GNC
Fredrick's
and several more!

they sometimes include discounts to the Wild Animal Park, Zoo, and or Legoland

Friendly Reminder ~ Last Day to Redeem Gymbucks is TODAY!

If you shop at Gymboree & have some Gymbucks waiting to be spent, rememeber today is the last day you can redeem them - they will expire tomorrow.

Think Gymboree is too expensive? Read some of my previous post and you may think differently. As frugal (ok cheap) as my family is my kids wear A LOT of name brand clothing - why? because it is cheaper (what?!) yes - immediately and in the long run. These stores often have great sales and incentive programs for deep discounts, you combine that with the lasting quality AND the resale value and it really is worth at least glancing at the clearance section....

Happy Shopping!

AVEDA at the North County Fair Mall

Hey all ~

today I went to the mall (again) with my special 'Aveda' freebie coupon in hand and thought I should mention my findings since most of you all will probably not be able to avoid the mall in the next couple week.

Aveda opened about one month ago, 2nd level.  They sent out a coupon in the mail (ps always at least glance at 'junk mail' - I often find freebies for new stores there.) I used my coupon to make a personalized perfume, no purchase necessary.

If you did not recieve this coupon in the mail you can still go and sign up for their birthday club.  They will then have you on the mailing list for promotional giveaways & a free birthday gift worth $25! I recently redeemed my free birthday gift card for some fancy customized bath salts.

They of course will try to sell you on other stuff while you are there, but they are very friendly and not 'hard sellers' at all.  They were very gracious when I went in to redeem my freebie. 

Make sure to check it out!

Today I went to the mall...you know, for research for my blog, here are some hot tips =)

I spent Veteran's Day the way I normally do, at the mall, but this year was different, because I made a list of a few of the awesome deals I found. I went to Westfield Mall in Carlsbad, see if any of these deals work for you.

1.  All GAP stores had an additional 25% off your whole purchase - the employee was not sure if this was just for today, or through the weekend, so hurry!

2.  Children's Place stores had an additional 30% off clearance - expected to last through the weekend. Sign up for their rewards program - they will scan a card w/ each purchase - points add up to free rewards cards. Also - give them your phone number & you'll get coupons in the mail.

3. 40% off at Justice - my kids are too young for this store, but I am guessing it is pretty popular for those of you with 'tweens'

4.  20% off your entire purchase at the Disney Store (my kid's personal Mecca).  You need to have a coupon - but they will give you that coupon at the register.  It is good from 11/11 - 11/15 and you can use it on clearance items as well. 

5.  Things Remembered - no special sale - but remember there is a blog post here with a $5 off any purchase coupon.  I noticed today some really pretty ornaments for $7.99 - we do several ornament exchange parties each year and sometimes the limit is only $5 - which can be pretty limiting...anyway, long story short - i got a beautiful ornament for $2.99 + tax waiting for my first exchange party!

6.  Victoria's Secret ~ remember the coupon posted on this blog for free panties & free lip gloss - go in to claim those & while you are there you will get a 'Unlock your secret reward' coupon booklet with any purchase.  It has a 'gift card' that is worth at least $10 and up to $500! It will be good from December 1 - 24.  Give Victoria's Secret your phone number and you will get coupons in the mail from them too - I get free no purchase necessary coupons from them several times a year!

7.  Gymboree has an additional 20% off clearance & it is Gymbucks time! I found some great deals but I resisted - I am waiting for the trifecta of Gymboree sales - Black Friday incentive - on top of clearance - and the 30% off coupon I expect in the mail a few days before hand - (all while earning Gymbucks!) I usually get out of there Friday morning with a big bag of adorable clothes for my kids all at 80% off or more!  If you hate Black Friday crowds, now is a good time to go, if you dig the crowds - wait a couple weeks. Remember your Gymboree rewards card and also give them your number (for what else - coupons!).

8. Bath & Body Works Bogo! - great stuff for gifts!  Buy two get one free or buy two get 3 free of their signature body care items - also remember there is a $10 off a $30 purchase coupon on this blog too & yes you can combine them - yay!

9. Romy ~ take an additional 50% off clearance

~ if you are shopping with kids, you may already know this - but I recently found I can get two 3 year olds to behave pretty well if I offer to take them to See's for a sample if they are extra good.  Doesn't cost me anything & it sure helps. (Thank You See's!)

these are just a few of the deals I found - pretty much everyone had a great sign out front.
Happy Shopping!
