FREE GIFT ALERT - Michael's free make & takes! 12/5

Another set of free events coming up at Michael's - completely free!  These seem like a great way to make a couple stocking stuffers, small bonus gifts for friends - or maybe a gift from a child.

I really hope you have been able to take advantage of some of the freebies I have posted!  I LOVE spoiling my family as much as the next person - but I hate the idea of going into debt for it - if you apply these freebies and sales I hope you can spoil your friends and family but have less stress!

Sunday 12/5 you can make the following....
Duck Tape luggage tag - FREE make & take - 1pm - 3pm
Tree Ornament - FREE make & take - 1pm - 3pm

FREE Seattle's Best Coffee! Every Friday this month!

Burger King is offering FREE Seattle's Best Coffee every Friday morning the entire month of November!  It is no purchase necessary - they just want you to give them a try.  If you normally grab coffee in a drive thru this would be a great way to save a couple bucks!  I have not had coffee at Burger King yet, but I do LOVE Seattle's Best Coffee - so I might have to swing by myself!

This seems to be a national campaign, but as always I do suggest you call to make sure your local Burger King is participating.

Additional 20% off clearance at Loehmann's w/ printable coupon!

Click Here for a printable coupon for an additional 20% at Loehmann's clearance!  In the past I have found some amazing deals on the Loehmann's clearance rack.  I ALWAYS take advantage of an awesome coupon like this for even extra savings.  If you have small children and enjoy boutique style clothing I HIGHLY suggest the Loehmann's clearance racks - while their prices are already greatly discounted the clearance racks are where I found several items for LESS than what I would have spent at Target on a comparable item.  I also found several 'Hurley' shirts for my son for LESS than what I would spend at Ross or Marshalls - really!

This coupon is only good until November 10th - hurry!

Disney Movie Rewards = AWESOME!

Not at all SD specific - but if you have small children or if you are at all interested in Disney yourself you have got to sign up for Disney Movie Rewards
This is a free program - points can be earned with Disney movies and music.  They also often have free codes available online!

They also offer awesome discounts everytime a new movie is released (usually an $8 - $10 coupon!)

The rewards are really awesome - I earned enough points this year to get my son a Lilo & Stitch pillow & clock set (he has a surfer themed room) and an awesome Buzz Lightyear wings & laser set!

I needed a few extra points to get the Buzz prize and a friend gave me her extra codes she wasn't going to use - yay! I had more than I needed after I inputed them all so I donated 100 points towards their charity program that donates a movie to children in need (nice right?!)

This is one of those awesome every little bit helps online programs.

You can earn toys, movies, photobooks, and more!  Prizes from Disney are even shipped free!
