$5 Magazines at Amazon

Stephanie — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:02:22 +0000

Happy Cyber Monday! Amazon has an awesome deal going on: $5 for a bunch of magazines, including my personal favorite, Real Simple. One issue costs around $4.95 on the newsstand, so you’re basically getting a subscription for the price of one magazine.

Other magazines that are included in the $5 sale:

Smart Money

Sports Illustrated Kids

Southern Living (another of my favorites – has the best recipes!)

These deals are good through tomorrow (Dec 1), so hurry and knock a bunch of people off of your holiday shopping list!

Also be sure to check out the full list of Amazon’s Cyber Monday deals. Lots of good electronics, DVDs, books, and more, with new deals popping up every half-hour.

1-Year Subscription to InStyle for $5

Stephanie — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 15:12:49 +0000

Amazon.com has an excellent deal going on InStyle magazine: InStyle (1-year)one year (13 issues) for only $5! I love clothes, and InStyle is one of my favorite reads for airplanes, waiting rooms, etc. It’s all clothes without a lot of junk to wade through!

The regular price is somewhere around $4 per issue, so $5 for a year is really a bargain. And it counts toward Super Saver shipping, so it’s a great small item to get your order up to $25. It’s also a great use for a $5 Amazon gift card from Swagbucks!

Join Freepeats for FREE in September

Stephanie — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 16:29:04 +0000

If you’re a bargain-hunter who has—or is expecting—a little one, you’ll definitely want to consider joining Freepeats. It’s a great site, run by Angie of the wildly popular Baby Cheapskate, that allows you to list gently used baby, children’s, or maternity items to give away for FREE to others in your city. There’s also a “Wish List” that allows you to ask for items that you need.

A lifetime membership to Freepeats would usually run you $4.95 (already a bargain) but during September, anyone can join for free. So sign up, and tell your friends—let’s work to build the DC area community!

Making and Saving Money Online: Ebates

Stephanie — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 19:33:42 +0000

I recently started a series of posts on ways that I save and make money online. A couple of weeks ago I shared about how I get Amazon.com gift certificates with Swagbucks, and today I’m going to rave about another of my favorite money-saving websites: Ebates.

Ebates is a site that pays you cash rebates for many purchases that you make online. And it’s very easy to use. You simply visit the Ebates website, search through hundreds of online merchants like Macys, J.C. Penny, Expedia, Target, Wal-Mart, and Dell, and make your purchases as your normally would. A percentage of your purchase (usually 2-4%) will be credited to your Ebates account.

Every quarter, if your Ebates balance is greater than $5 (mine always is!), you will receive a check in the mail. It’s that simple. If your balance is less than $5, it carries over until the next quarter.

And to make the deal even sweeter, you will get a $5 bonus just for signing up for Ebates! And you can get another $5 for each friend that you refer who makes a purchase. That money adds up quickly!

If you sign up TODAY (July 23), you can take advantage of a great deal from Avon. Ebates is offering a special one-day 10% rebate on purchases from Avon. And Avon is running a buy-one-get-one free sale on Lip, Liner, and Lashes products. That means that–today only–you will get 60% off on participating eye and lip products! Not a bad deal. Just make sure to shop through the Ebates portal to get the 10% back.

Happy Shopping!

5 Swagbucks for New Subscribers

A couple of weeks ago I shared a post about how I earn Amazon gift certificates with Swagbucks. The short story: Swagbucks is a search engine that allows you to earn points (or “Swagbucks”) by searching that can be redeemed for prizes, including $5 gift certificates to Amazon.com. It’s totally free to join and easy to use!

Swagbucks is once again offering 5 Swagbucks for new members. Just register with the promo code “NEWBIE” and you will start off with 5 Swagbucks. The code expires on Friday and is good for new subscribers only. You can sign up through the banner below:

1-Year Subscription to Real Simple for $5

Stephanie — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:26:10 +0000

Amazon.com has an excellent deal on one of my favorite magazines: a one-year subscription to Real Simple for only $5. I love this magazine—it has great recipes and tips, and it sends me into an organizational frenzy each month when it arrives.

Real Simple costs $4.99 per issue if you buy it on the newsstand, so $5 is like 12 magazines for the price of one!
