Money Saving Mom

I wanted to take a minute to post about some great ways I've learned to save money and in some cases even earn money for my family as a Stay at Home Mom.

GoDaddy.com--they are local, offer great customer service, and reliable. 



Shutterfly Photobooks, Christmas Cards, etc.

Stationery card

View the entire collection of cards.

MOST IMPORTANT: WE LOVE Mixbook.com.  Check them out. They are amazing and you can get an educators discount, 25%, AMAZING. 



For printing needs, check out 123print.com. 


First, www.Groupon.com


I buy Groupons for Photobook Discounts to www.picaboo.com, www.blurb.com, www.photoworks.com and www.canvasondemand.com to name a few. Also to related services such as www.ScanDigital.com Discounts.


Next, www.Livingsocial.com
Living Social offers great one day deals on www.amazon.com giftcards, local restaurants, and many more.


Third,  www.Ebates.com
I LOVE Ebates.com!
I have earned so much money back on my online shopping over the past two years.  I always search Ebates before I shop to make sure I'm getting the % back. I also keep a list of places I've made purchases so I can be sure my savings posts to my account.  You can shop at places like 
Ebay.com
www.sears.com
www.choicehotels.com
www.travelocity.com
www.zulily.com
www.Snapfish.com
www.blurb.com
www.hotwire.com
www.famousfootwear.com
www.kohls.com
www.walmart.com
www.discountschoolsupply.com
www.crocs.com
www.kodakgallery.com
www.photoworks.com
www.oldnavy.com
www.gap.com
www.bananarepublic.com 
www.carbonite.com
www.personalizationmall.com
www.cafepress.com
www.redenvelope.com
www.bootbarn.com
www.disneystore.com
www.itunes.com
and so many, many more.
The key to Ebates is to create the tracking ticket to the store you are shopping at, search for or use a provided promo code to that store on top of the ebates amount and you save twice.  You can find promo codes at www.retailmenot.com and various other coupon sites. I almost always save an additional 10-15% on top of my Ebate when shopping online, or receive FREE Shipping.

Lastly, www.swagbucks.com
Swagbucks allows you to search online and earn bucks that you eventually trade in for amazon.com giftcards.
I've earned over $50 in FREE Amazon.com money just for searching online.
