$0.44 Postage Photo Stamps for $0.40 each!

Wow this is an AMAZING deal. You can get personalized stamps for less than what you would pay normally at the post office! How crazy and wonderful is that? Plus they would make excellent Christmas gifts.

Here is what you need to do:

1. Sign up as a member at ShopAtHome, or if you are already a member, log in. New members will get a $5 bonus for signing up and completing a purchase, which means more money for you! I do feel like I need to put in a disclaimer here to let you know that you need to have at least $20 in your ShopAtHome account before you can cash it out. Don't want you to get frustrated after doing this deal!

2. Once on the ShopAtHome page, search for "photo stamps" and click on the photostamps.com link. It should say $8 cash back to the right of the link.

3. Upload the photo you wish to use for your stamp, edit it and then go to checkout.

4. For the best deal, order at least 2 sheets of 20 stamps, which comes to $16.99 a sheet.

5. In the promo code box enter thirtyoff to get 30% off your entire order.

6. Then enter a second promo code of cutekid12 to get free shipping. This can be used on top of the 30% off code.

7. Your total should now be $23.79 for two sheets of stamps. Then within 30 days, you will get $8 cash back credited to your ShopAtHome account, which would drop cost to $15.79 or only $0.40 per stamp!

Thanks Money Saving Mom!

Ways to Save: Never Turn Down Free Food

One of my unspoken rules regarding groceries is to never turn down anything free...unless it is seriously processed food. It's been one of the ways that we've eaten as inexpensively as we do. I especially won't turn down something free if it is a healthy food like veggies. One year I got I don't know how many green beans given to me by different friends who had more than they could use. They'd say, "Hey would you like some green beans?" And without batting an eye, I'd say, "Sure!" It meant we ate lots & lots of green beans that year as I froze many of them, but it was a healthy food and don't forget... free.

Part of being willing to take free food also means being willing to be flexible. Take today for instance. I was on my way home from a ladies function at church and decided to stop in at my favorite little Amish bulk food store for some items we needed. I had gotten everything on my list and on impulse, decided to swing by and grab a few sweet potatoes yet. And what a godsend that was! I nearly missed it, but back in the corner (which is dark since they only use gas lamps) was my jackpot...a whole box full of FREE cauliflower.

Now my jackpot may have gotten passed over by many others because when you looked at the cauliflower, you didn't just see a nice snowy white head. No, instead there were quite a few dark spots decorating the snowy white. But I knew that if I simply took the time to cut out the spots I would have myself some good cauliflower. So I scooped up 7 of the heads and decided that my afternoon just got rearranged! Now instead of folding laundry, sweeping the upstairs and having a big supper, I am getting cauliflower ready for the freezer and making soup...oh, and cauliflower!

Just in case you are wondering, I think even with throwing away some of the cauliflower, I still should be able to get at least 5 quarts. Not bad, I don't think, considering they were small heads.
