Free Glasses for Oregon Feb 28

If you are like me and have been wearing glasses FOREVER...head on over to Coastal Contacts and like them on facebook. Click on the free glasses on the sidebar to get your unique code. Then on February 28, put in your prescription and get your free glasses. This offer only applies if you haven't already got a free pair of glasses from them. Also you have to pay shipping and handling and if you have a "hefty" prescription like mine, you will have to pay some. It is deeply discounted, but not free. This deal is for WA, OR, and NV only. Other states will have a different day, you can still like Coastal Contacts and get a code for your states day. (Utah, Idaho, and Arizona are March 4). There are 5000 codes per state group so hurry on over to get your one time use code.

Potty Training Freebies and Diaper Mailing Lists

I have been trying to get my 2 year old out of diapers by the time the new baby gets here, but she is not interested. Sigh. After 3 go arounds on the whole potty training thing, each kid at a different degree of difficulty, I have decided until they decide they are ready...it is a feeble attempt on my part. However, there are some resources out there that just might be the "thing" that helps them turn the corner.

Pull Ups has a Potty Training DVD, I am not sure if this is a new one or not, but it should comes with coupons and possible a sample. Also keep your eye on houseparty.com for when they start taking applications for the March 5, 2011 Pulls Up House Party. I was selected for this last year, you can read about it here. If your baby is younger, you will still want to collect Enjoy the Ride Huggies Reward points (found in each package). You can use these points to play instant win games, enter sweeps, or redeem for prizes, including high value coupons. Huggies also have boxtops 4 education on every pack, so save those for the schools :)


Easy Ups also have a potty training kit. You can choose between Dora and Diego (girl or boy) and then get samples, coupons, stickers, rewards certificates, and more. Don't forget to save those Pampers Points that are located on every pack of diapers/Easy Ups and pack of wipes. (I have saved through nearly 3 kids now and am saving up for the stroller...only about 1000 away :) I have ordered Legos and DVDs in the past and the kids have loved them.

And for any age baby (even if you are pregnant)...sign up at huggies and pampers and luvs to get great coupons, period free samples, and special offers delivered right to your mail box. Just today I got a flier from Pampers with coupons for diapers, wipes, Dreft, batteries, and baby meds.

All You Reality Checker

Look at the surprise I got in the mail yesterday, a full size box of Weight Watchers Coffee Cakes from All You Reality Checkers. Frequently (about 2-3 a week) All You sends me short (less than 2 minute) surveys and then if I qualify and agree to do a short review, they will send me products. It can be anything from food, to books, to vacuum cleaners and more! Click here to sign up for this fun free program.

While you are on allyou.com, don't forget to check their daily free sample page, you can even go back and order samples from several months back as long as they still have them available. Who doesn't love getting free stuff in the mail? Thanks All You!

Free Glasses...just pay shipping and handling

I was so excited when I heard about this deal, because my current glasses are cracked and have been handled more than once by a two year old. Coastal Contacts is offering free glasses today, (first 10,000...one per household) just go to their facebook page and like them and you will get the code to enter at their site. You will have to pay a shipping and handling charge, which is around $10-$15. You do need your current prescription and not all lenses are covered at 100%. Unfortunately, I am so blind my glasses would still cost $99, but down from the $279 they started at, so if you need new glasses it is worth a try!

The Free NYC makeup deal at Rite Aid just got better! When I was buying my NYC makeup this week at Rite Aid, I noticed a little sign for a free Cosmo Beauty Bag. I went home and got the details. Purchase any two featured products at Rite Aid and get this Cosmo Beauty Bag.
