March 19, 2012 By jen 2 Comments

If you are looking forward to bringing home The Muppets on Blu-Ray/DVD, tomorrow’s the day! And with the anticipated release there are some cool exclusive freebies that you can pick up with your purchase. You’ll have to decide for yourself which freebie is best. Made sure you download the $5 off coupon for the lowest price.

Don’t forget, the Wocka Wocka Value Pack includes the soundtrack to the movie, so if you wanna humm along with the tunes that’s the way to go. Plus it has all the best extras including the hilarious bloopers reel. (FYI, I didn’t include the DVD only deals below because they don’t qualify for the freebies or coupon, but the best price for DVD only appares to be $15.99 from TRU.)

Top 5 Freebies For Your New Baby

August 3, 2011 By jen 6 Comments

Babies are expensive, they need so much stuff. But there are a few great freebies you can score when you are expecting a little bundle of joy. Every little bit helps right?

I recommend signing up for these freebies before baby arrives, but if you didn’t it is never too late to start.

Pampers Gifts to Grow – Pampers has a great rewards program, in each package of Pampers products you will find Gifts to Grow codes that you can collect to redeem for great prizes including toys, books, gift cards, Shutterfly products and more. In addition to the codes you find in Pampers products, Pampers frequently releases “free” Gifts to Grow codes, which I regularly post here (so check back often). BONUS – sign up for Pampers Gifts to Grow today and receive 100 bonus points in your account.
Huggies Enjoy the Ride Rewards – Huggies recently gave its rewards program a revamp with much needed improvements to its rewards catalog. Now filled with toys, magazines and more this is another must sign up. In addition to the codes you find in Huggies products, Huggies frequently releases “free” Enjoy the Ride Rewards, which I regularly post here (so check back often).
American Baby Magazine – Love freebies? How about a free magazine subscription. American Baby Magazine is available by subscription only, and you can get the subscription for free. (This was one of my fav magazines when K was a baby, and I just subscribed again.)
Baby Talk Magazine – Another great FREE magazine is Baby Talk Magazine. Hint – subscribe to both because advertisers frequently like to plug these baby magazines with hot coupons!
Enfamil, Similac and Gerber Gift Bags- Even if you are planning to nurse, it is worth signing up for these freebies. In addition to coupons and samples of formula, you will also receive other coupons for baby stuff – $250 of goodies from Enfamil and $329 from Similac. (Hint, if you decide you don’t need the formula or coupons you can always pass them along to friends. Women’s shelters are also a great place to pass along unneeded samples.)

FYI – To make it easy for you to get your free stuff, all of these freebies and more are available from the same source Everyday family. There are tons of other things available there too, but these are my favs that I signed up for myself.

Project Back to School – Round Up Week 4 (7/31)

July 31, 2011 By jen Leave a Comment

Project Back to School continues! Here is a round up of the best Back to Schools deals for the week of July 31 – August 6. The hottest deals are in red. Happy shopping!

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE – As of July 28, Office Max changed its policy on using Max Perks. Previously, you could buy gift cards (just not Office Max gift cards) with your Max Perks (I have been doing this for years). However, Office Max has changed its policy so you can no longer buy gift cards of any type with your Max Perks (it still says you can online, but I called corporate and confirmed the change). (Frustrating because I already made several purchases with this intention.) If you made purchases with the same intention, I recommend returning those items (like I did today). You can return in store or you can call Office Max for a pick up.

(Check out my haul from last week below and running total. Remember supplies I purchase are being donated locally.)

Here are the Suburban Mom’s Project Back to School Results from last week (week 1 here, week 2 here, week 3 here). (Note, my grand total is going to be higher this year than last because last year I was able to combine coupons with 100% back deals to “make” money, this year all percent back deals are after coupons.)

FYI – my totals have been adjusted down to reflect the return of items purchased to receive Max Perks. I also returned a pack of markers because I was able to get them free today.

It’s All Free Online’s Dad

October 6, 2010 By jen 22 Comments

I really enjoy being part of the online blogging community, and I love to read various mom blogs. But moms aren’t the only ones who blog, Dads do too. And soon after I joined a blogging community for moms I learned that one of my favorite blogs for freebies is a dad blog. (Yes, my mom community has dads in it too.) Matt’s blog is all about freebies, so until recently he had very little content other than freebies, but he is starting to branch out with some family tidbits here and there and it is fun to learn more about the man behind the freebies.

Not only is this freebie-loving guy a dad, but he is also very supportive of the blogging community, and I have to personally thank him for sponsoring me to go to my first blogging event – Brandcation – in November. I can’t wait for this event, I promise you will hear all about it, and I am very thankful to Matt and his blog It’s All Free Online for sponsoring me and helping me to go.

I think the awesomeness of Matt’s blog speaks for itself, so I wanted to tell you a little bit more behind this blogging dad. So, in his own words, here’s more about Matt

First and foremost, tell me about Junior.

My son just turned 5 years old. He’s becoming his own strong headed person who is driving me insane. However I love him to death and I am starting to mention some of our adventures on my site. It’s really allowing me to open up and share a part of me outside ‘freebies.’

(Matt, we love learning about you, share more! Especially videos!)

Not to pick on age or anything, but your a youngin’, I think you still check the 20 somethings box, right?

Yes, but I am getting old. I am 24 years old… The toughest part for me about getting older is my hair is thinning a bit.

Wait till you hit 30… then we can talk

Your a West Coaster aren’t ya?

Born and raised in San Diego, CA. I recently moved back to my old neighborhood and I’m loving it. It took me a while to really get on our feet having Matthew so young, among other things I went through at the time.

I’m back in my hometown too, on the opposite side of the country, isn’t it nice to be home?

Tell me about Mrs. Free Samples

I have to admit, we aren’t married, but I find it very unprofessional to say “my girlfriend.” We have been together for 6 years, we started dating right after highschool (but we’d been seeing each other before). As of right now we have no plans on getting married anytime soon, we rushed into enough. She can still be my “Mrs. Free Samples” though.

Hi Mrs. Free Samples!!!!

How old is your second child, It’s All Free Online?

It started in 2007, but we didn’t really start growing until we found Facebook in 2009. Since then we have been able to build an awesome social media community.

To the tune of 26,641 followers on Facebook – WOW!!!

Do you have any new projects up your sleeves that we should watch out for?

I am always working on something. I think the next thing to do for my site is to be the SOURCE of the free samples, instead of linking to third party sites. I am trying to go in that direction, we did one promotion so far offering 100 free samples of Salonpas.

Love this idea… I will keep my eye out for freebies from you!

Best Freebie Ever?

Best freebie ever? Definitely the one from the USPS. They offered a “sample showcase” that had tons of great products. My bigger joy is to hear what OTHER people think is the best one, then I feel like I’ve made a difference, at least for that day.

Ahhhhhhh… you make my day when I find a mailbox full of goodies!

Do you sign up for every freebies you post?

I sign up for a lot of what I share, sometimes just to test the form to make sure it’s going through and not giving out errors. I hate posting something and then have people have trouble with it.

Don’t we all! Note to all readers: we bloggers try REALLY hard to put out good stuff… but sometimes companies don’t follow through or things are just wrong. We never mean to put out miss-info, but from time to time mistakes happen…

So what do you do with all those freebies?

I am currently constructing freebie mountain amusement park. Seriously, I kind of just collect them. Right now I probably have 10 laundry related freebies sitting in the closet? I currently see about 4-5 freebies on my desk and dozens are next to me on the floor. I think we should of gotten a bedroom just for my freebies.

Laundry party at Matt’s house! LOL!

Anything else to share?

Thank you for interviewing me, it was fun and I hope my readers (as well as yours) enjoy this little bit of me. I am glad I was able to help out in your trip and I hope you have a great time!

Me too Matt, thanks for supporting me! I hear you are also supporting a couple other moms for this trip too, so thanks for supporting us all. And thanks for all the great freebies.

Learn about all the freebies you can sign up for right now at www.ItsAllFreeOnline.com. I recommended his Facebook page too so you never miss a deal.
