Lands' End Deal

I just picked up a pretty good deal on some hats from Lands' End.

Right now, they have their children's hats, regularly $12.50 on sale for $2.99. Use promotion code SANTA and pin 1212 to get 30% off and free shipping.

Works out to be $2.09 (plus tax) delivered.

They can be found on the Overstock tab.

In addition to getting a great deal when you purchase through Sweet Deals, now, if you share the deals that you buy with friends, and 3 purchase the same deal, yours is FREE!

Some Fun Deals!

Maybe it is the nerd in me shining through, but I just love this idea: Chalkboard Tee from Class Attire! Today, through Moolala, you can get one for just $12 ($25 value). The shirt includes a shaped chalkboard surface on the front of the shirt and a pocket to hold your chalk. They have them available in a variety of shapes, but I think I would just stick with The Box. The shirts can be washed with regular laundry. What do you think?

I have never done a ropes course, but have always wanted to. I am considering today's Groupon offer, for only $20 you can get a Four-Hour Ropes Course Session at Summit Vision in Westerville, Ohio ($40 Value). Interestingly enough, it shows up on the Cleveland offer page, but I'm not seeing it on Columbus. Maybe they are looking to bring people in from around the area instead of locally?

Also, today you can get a 1 year subscription to Weight Watchers Magazine through Mamapedia Sweet Deals for only $10.

Flowers Anyone?

Some of Today's Daily Deals

There are a few daily deals out there today that seem interesting to me. I thought I would share some of them with you.

Two Groupon Deals that intrigue:

$20 for $40 ($45 if Redeemed by May 30) Worth of Skincare, Bath, and Beauty Products at The Body Shop

$19 for $40 Worth of Treats from Chocolate Gourmet. As I have probably mentioned, I love Chocolate! They have many sweets and treats to choose from - cookies, brownies and truffles. I'm not sure which I would try, so I think I would have to go with one of their many assortments. They even have some specialty assortments, like a Gluten Free truffle assortment.


From Mamapedia Sweet Deals:

$25 for $50 Worth of DHC Skincare Solutions, plus 5% of your purchase can benefit the school of your choice.

other Mamapedia Deals that are still available;
$7 for 2 year subscription to Fitness Magazine ($11.98 value)

$12 for $24 Worth of Eco-Friendly Reusable Bags from Re-Pac Bags

Reusable Lunch Bags

I pack my lunch almost everyday, except when I have a lunch meeting. I find that I can generally pack a healthier lunch than I can purchase. Even when I go out some place that has a salad bar and feel like I am generally eating a good lunch, I find myself adding things to my salad plate that quickly add up - cheese, croutons, bacon, crackers, macaroni salad, etc. I tend to use more salad dressing when I get the salad bar than when I pack a salad with dressing in separate container. Also, when it comes to estimating how much I ate, in order to calculate the PointsPlus values of the food, I find that I have a hard time. Was it 4 oz of chicken that I added - or a little more/less? If I eat out too often, you can see it reflected in my success (or lack there of) for the week.

So, as I said, packing my lunch lets me be in control of what I am eating. I can measure out my servings and calculate the PointsPlus values before I consume them. When I eat out, usually I wind up calculating the values after I eat rather thhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifan before. The exception is if I am going out to dinner somewhere where I know what I order and can 'budget' for the trip ahead of time.

When it comes to packing my lunch, I used to Brown Bag-it. I would typically reuse the same bag for days or weeks, as long as it lasted. I would fill it with a mix of plastic containers and plastic bags. The plastic bags and eventually, the browhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifn bags too, would get thrown away. Not only did this feel wasteful, but it also got to be expensive.

Finally, one day, I bought myself a reusable lunch bag. It is lightly insulated, which helps to keep my lunch cool until I get it into the refrigerator at work. Then, a couple of years ago, I found a solution for replacing my plastic bags http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif(at least many of them), I tried a reusable sandwich bag. I only have two, but I generally use one for my sandwich and one for vegetables (or sometimes a cookie or chips!). I was thinking about getting more. I saw this deal today for Re-Pac Bags and decided the time was right to get a couple more bags. Their style is different, using zippers instead of velcro. I liked that I could get a $24 voucher for only $12 through Mamapedia Sweet Deals. (if you are a first time Mamapedia Sweet Deals buyer, you can use coupon code FRIENDS2 to save $2 on this deal as well)

Using a reusable lunch bag and reusable lunch bags, is environmentally friendly and a way to save money. This post shared at Frugal Friday.

National Geographic Little Kids Magazine - 1 Year for as little as $7

I recently learned about a community called Mamapedia Sweet Deals (deals.mamapedia.com). The community numbers over 3.5 million Moms across the country where they offer 50% off on local and national family-friendly merchants.

Starting tomorrow at 6am, for first-time Mamapedia buyers, they are offering a special coupon code - NATGEO3, which can be used to save an additional $3 on a one year subscription to National Geographic Little Kids Magazine (the deal for 4/14). Bringing your cost down to only $7, a savings of almost 70% off the cover price.

Full Year of National Geographic Little Kids Magazine
Regular Price: $24
Mamapedia Sweet Deal Price: $10
With coupon code NATGEO3: Only $7!

You can find the deal here.

As a reminder, you can only use this special coupon code as a first-time buyer, but even if you have purchased before, you can still get this deal for only $10.

In addition, they offer a program called Savings for Schools, where 5% of your purchase will be donated to the school you choose at time of purchase. Much like Box Tops and other programs, I think this could be a great way to help provide to your school simply by doing what you are already doing.

MooLaLa - Daily Deal Site

There is a new Daily Deal Site that is getting started - it's called Moolala. They haven't posted a deal yet, but they are showing a coming soon over a MixBook offer - would be great, since I missed signing up for the offer under Groupon and Living Social.
