Head to Snapfish’s home page to view their holiday catalog – just released.  For a limited time, you can get 25% off any item in the catalog using code MERRY2010.

I found this classic (Pottery Barn-like) frame ornament – originally $16.99 – for just $2.74 plus shipping after the 25% off and your $10 credit if you haven’t already used it.

You could get 2  2″x3″ magnets for FREE or 3 for $1.22 plus shipping after the discount and credit.

We’ve gotten these notepads before.  They’re just $5.99 after the discount or FREE with the $10 credit (pay shipping).

Head to Groupon for all these great deals available to anyone today and don’t forget about the Lands End Canvas one I told you about earlier!  Find it under Madison.

San Antonio and Stockton– Get a $100 credit to use toward Picaboo photo books, cards, and calendars for just $35.  This Groupon can be used toward shipping!  Don’t forget about the B1G1 deal, although I don’t think you can combine this with the Groupon.

Corpus Christi and Colorado Springs – Get $50 worth of personalized gifts such as greeting cards, t-shirts, mugs, and more from Zazzle.com for $25. This Groupon would be great for Christmas gifts or cards or STAMPS!

New Orleans – Get a 16″x20″ Canvas on Demand gallery-wrapped photo canvas for just $45 (65% off the regular price).

Minneapolis/St. Paul (Deal Nearby)– Get $175 worth of junk removal services from 1-800-GOT-JUNK for just $79. $175 pays for about 1/6 of a truckload of junk removal. It appears this deal is available to all areas across the country that 1-800-GOT-JUNK serves.  How great if you’re moving and cleaning out!

Kansas City (Deal Nearby) – Get $50 worth of steaks and free shipping from Kansas City Steak Company for $25.

Denver (Deal Nearby) – Pick $75 worth wines from Barclay’s Wine for $25. Shipping is not included. Limited to first-time Groupon Barclay’s customers.

Baton Rouge – Get $25 worth of dried fruit, nuts, and candy for $10 from Nutty Guys. Shipping is not included.  This is great for holiday baking as nuts are typically pretty expensive in the stores!

Cleveland (Deal Nearby) – Pick $50 worth of goods from HelpChildren.org for $25. The organization, according to Help Children, raises awareness and support for children in Malawi.  This is a great Pay it Forward!

Hampton Roads (Deal Nearby) and Indianapolis – Snag $25 worth of teas and tea accessories for just $12 from Tea District. Shipping is not included, but is a flat fee rate of $5.

Baltimore, Ventura County, Nashville, and Halifax – GelaSkins is offering $30 worth of customizable skins for iPhones, laptops, iPods, readers, and more for $15. Shipping isn’t free, but the Groupon value can be applied toward shipping.

Closed. Holiday Giveaway – Big Toy Book $50 & Helicopter #wingiveaways

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations, Jamie!


The Big Toy Book  is a web site with all kinds of toys, apparel, etc. BUT it also has a members-only shopping community where you can get discounts of up to 70% off toys, games and more for kids!  Make sure to register for the members-only section to get these huge savings!  Then, when you go back to the site, make sure you scroll down to the bottom to log in and access the members-only private sale community.  Make sure to visit their Blog also for all kinds of tips and ideas.

Perfect for holiday and gift shopping, their limited-time sales feature huge savings on best-loved and up-and-coming toys and brands for kids! I have seen Disney, KidKraft, Seasame Street, and more!  So far this week, they’ve had Hello Kitty, Cars, Littlest Pet Shop and more!  Featured more toward the younger crowd with some items toward an older generation, the sales are irresistible!  They have various categories like Apparel/Gear, Toys & Games, Electronics, By Age, etc. to make it easier to find what you want.

They also offer $10 to your account for each friend you refer who becomes a member and buys!  How great is that!  AND if you like them on Facebook, make sure to visit each Friday for a ‘password’ that could get you freebies and exclusive savings just for that day.

One item that The Big Toy Book let me try out was their product geared toward that older group of kids – a helicopter. My husband is like a big kid when it comes to toys and the Interceptor R/C Indoor/Outdoor Flight Helicopter by Interactive Toy Concepts is no exception!  This remote control helicopter says it’s age-appropriate for 12 years + and I would have to agree because it is a little difficult to drive.  While it is an indoor/outdoor device, I would recommend using it outdoors as learning out to drive it is a bit difficult in the beginning. With two thumbs requiring the work, you don’t want to test drive it near your precious lamp. Note: You can get this on The Big Toy Book right now.

We liked that it charges via a USB cable directly into a USB port instead of using batteries, so you can plug it into your computer to charge!  A remote control helicopter like this would burn through batteries!  It takes about 60 minutes to charge for the first time.  There are two flying modes: Normal and Pro.  We used normal (because we don’t consider ourselves pros!) and it flew very smooth and easy, besides the driving difficulties I mentioned above.

All in all, this helicopter is tons of fun no matter your age!

Right now you can get your 70% discounted items with a nice little coupon code. Head to Big Toy Book and sign up now. Now you can get $10/$50 with promo code HolidayBash. Note this code is $10/$50 before tax and can only be used on the private sale store.

Frugal Coupon Living is giving a Helicopter and a $50 Gift Card to TheBigToyBook.com to one reader!

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations Alyssa!

“If you like to talk to tomatoes, if a squash can make you smile, if you like to waltz with potatoes up and down the produce aisle…”

Then Have We Got a GIVEAWAY for You!!!

If upon reading the opening to this post, you didn’t start humming the Veggie Tales theme song, then you (and your child as well) are missing out! Veggie Tales is amazing! Veggie Tales is a brand that emulates the spiritual and moral fabric of society through creative media. Their videos give you the desire put everything aside, and sit and watch these educational, wholesome, and hilarious set of veggies solve their way through every day lessons.

We LOVE Veggie Tales at my house. So far our favorite is God Made You Special and Sweetpea Beauty (having two girls!)  It’s about the importance of focusing on inner beauty over external beauty.  All of their movies are wonderful and have such great messages.  We also love singing all the songs with Bob and Larry!

Did you know that there are 42 DVDs in the collection?  I can remember when the first DVDs began coming out. Of that collection some that I didn’t know about (well, a lot I didn’t know about from my days of baby sitting!) are Tomato Sawyer and Huckleberry Larry’s Big River Rescue or their newest one (right in time for Christmas): It’s a Meaningful Life – about being content.  The collection also includes the 4-DVD Set of the Complete Silly Song Collection – great fun for the car or dancing around the house with the kids!

Big Idea Productions launched Veggie Tales in 1993 with Where’s God when I’m S-Scared? and now, 17 years later, they have 42 DVDs and are recognized by kids and parents everywhere.

Big Idea is giving this set, valued at $558, to one lucky Frugal Coupon Living reader!

In the meantime, you can download the The Incredible Singing Christmas Tree. MP3 album from Amazon for FREE!

Also, check out the Veggie Tales site (Big Ideas) for specials and promotions on any of their products you may want for Christmas gifts. They are offering a 30% off with the code VEGGIE221 (expires 12/31/10). You can not use it on the kit above, however.
