Birthday Clubs

Since we just celebrated Claire's birthday it has gotten me to thinking that I would like to share some of the birthday clubs that we are signed up for in hopes of helping you have better birthdays as well. If you sign up for these, be sure to do it well in advance of your birthday so you don't miss out on any of the fun!

Toys R Us: They send your child a 3 dollar gift certificate for their birthday. Plus around birthday time I also have frequently gotten 5 dollar off of a 25 dollar purchase coupons.

Baskin Robbins: We just tried this one out for the first time with Claire. You get a free scoop of ice cream for your birthday. After Claire's doctor appointment yesterday we were able to stop and get her free scoop, and Meghan and Claire absolutely loved being able to sit and eat their ice cream.

ColdStone: They give you free ice cream for your birthday. Kids get a kids creation and I think adults get a free like it size ice cream with one mix in.

Great American Cookie Company: They give you a free cookie cake slice for your birthday. I was able to take Meghan and Claire to do this last weekend and they thought it was great as well. Claire loved carrying the box up to the food court.

Red Robin: They give you a free burger for your birthday. Kids get a free kids meal. We usually go to Red Robin around my birthday and Scott's as well for a really cheap way to go out to eat, and Red Robin's food is super delicious. Scott says it is one of his favorite restaurants.

I'm sure more places will come to me over time, but this is my current list for now. Enjoy!

Free Samples

One cool thing I have learned since starting to hunt the deals is that there are many free samples to be found online. One thing that makes it even better is that usually a coupon is enclosed with the free samples. So this is a great way to try out some products for free as well as get coupons for your future purchases.

Walmart has a specific area of their site devoted to free samples. I just went on there today and they had a free sample of always infinity, pampers extra protection, huggies little movers, and garnier skin renew.

So, if you are interested in some samples (I mean, one free diaper is one less diaper you have to buy, right?), then you should start out by checking out this Walmart link .

Free photo cards!

www.seehere.com is offering 50 free 4X8 photo cards. You do have to create an account with them to use the code. Use the code newbaby once they are in your cart and the cards as well as the shipping should be free.

Ina ddition to those free photo cards, you can also get 50 more free 4X8 photo cards from that same website, but this code expires this November 30. So hurry if you want to take advantage of it. On this set of cards uses the code freebies4mom-1109.

So, you should be able to get a total of 100 cards for free! This would be a great time to jump on it if you plan on sending out Christmas cards this year!

Thanks moneysaving mom and freebies4mom!

Free Sample

There are quite a few free samples to be found online. This one is a pretty cool one because in addition to the samples it sent me, it also sent me a coupon for a free full size package of always infinity (and where I got it, that coupon was worth almost 6 dollars). Anyway, this sample pack includes 2 Tampax Pearl Tampons, 1 Compak Pearl Tampon, 1 Always Infinity Maxi-Pad, 2 Always Pantiliners, and 1 Always Feminine Wipe, so quite a few things to try out.

So I can't promise you will get that cool coupon with it, but it might be worth your time to get the free sample, and it will also probably have some sort of coupon with it. And who doesn't love receiving mail?
