Umi May Deal of the Month

May 1, 2012 By Momstart 9 Comments

Get Half off the Umi sandal Kenix during the month of May! Umi Deal of the month.

The Silver Screen starlet-like design of Kenix could have been worn by Greta Garbo (or Dakota Fanning). But your modern big girl will love details inherent in today’s fashion trends–metallic studs and slightly maturing high ankle strap. Adjustable hook and loop closure and buttery leather for maximum comfort.

Gas Cards ON SALE – 2% Off Gas Cards at Plastic Jungle

By: Ashley

Are you planning a family road trip for Spring Break? Maybe you’re planning ahead for a great summer vacation. Either way, crazy gas prices have to be a part of the planning whether we like it or not. Now families have to plan for food stops, ways to keep the kids entertained, the best route, packing light… and the cost of gas! If you’re like me, you probably wish that gas came with some sort of coupon you could use when you fill up. Good news! Plastic Jungle has just that!

Plastic Jungle is having a sale on discounted gas cards! 2% may not sound like much at first, but one you do the math, it can really add up. I heard about this deal and thought it was definitely worth sharing with all of you. I mean, who doesn’t want to save a little extra on gas? Want to see what gas cards are available? No problem. Shop here:

· Arco Gas Card: 2% off

· Shell Gas Card: 2% off

· Chevron Gas Card: 2% off

Just so you know, the quantities on these cards are limited.

Have you ever heard of Plastic Jungle? It’s a great site where you can buy gift cards for up to 35% off, or sell your own unused gift cards for up to 92% of the value for cash. This is a great place to pass on gift cards that might be cluttering your wallet or in my case, collecting dust on my dresser! One of my favorite things about Plastic Jungle is that you can turn them into a donation to your favorite charity. Instead of receiving cash for your unused gift card, you make a donation. AWESOME!

Are you and your family planning to get away anytime soon? Are you going to brave a road trip? We’d love to hear about it! Hopefully you can grab one of these gift cards from Plastic Jungle to help you out!

About Ashley: Ashley has a background in teaching Kindergarten and working with children K through 8th grade. She is now a SAHM and writes her own blog at Momicles.

I was compensated for this post.

Free Tickets to Titanic 3D

February 13, 2012 By Momstart 2 Comments

Titanic first came out when I was in high school and I remember seeing it in the theater. I remember crying my eyes out as I watched the story unfold. James Cameron is a genius when it comes to making movie masterpieces. Just look at Avatar and you can see that he and 3D get along quite well. Remembering how much money Titanic made years ago in the theater I’m sure it’s going to make quite a bit of money with a 3D re-release.

James Cameron’s "Titanic" is an epic, action-packed romance set against the ill-fated maiden voyage of the R.M.S. Titanic; the pride and joy of the White Star Line and, at the time, the largest moving object ever built. She was the most luxurious liner of her era — the "ship of dreams" — which ultimately carried over 1,500 people to their death in the ice cold waters of the North Atlantic in the early hours of April 15, 1912.James Cameron’s "Titanic" is an epic, action-packed romance set against the ill-fated maiden voyage of the R.M.S.

Sears Holiday Shopping Challenge

November 29, 2011 By Momstart 4 Comments

I almost finished my Holiday Shopping all in one stop on my couch shopping the Sears Cyber Monday deals, and guess what you still have time to get your shopping done too. By using the RealJoy promotional code you can save all kinds of money at Sears that’s what I did last night.

Ok, so I actually had no idea what I was going to buy. My husband took the kids shopping last weekend while I worked all day. Then I realized I needed to do some shopping of my own and getting me out of the house is hard. I prefer on-line shopping. People at the holiday season drive me nuts. Which is one of the reasons I LOVE shopping on-line. I don’t have to fight for the item I want on sale.

Ok, so! I went to Sears.com. I started looking at the Cyber Monday deals and still wasn’t sure what I wanted to get the kids or my husband. As I was looking I found some VTech video games under the Sears Gift Idea suggestions by price. I wanted to get the kids. So two gifts down. Then as I was looking I saw some pajamas on sale. Zoe said she wanted some new pajamas so there was another item. I kept looking and remembered what my husband wanted for Christmas. I found 8 different things for my husband on-line and when I used the REALJOY promo code at checkout, ALL OF THEM WERE ON SALE. I was jumping up and down because I saved over $35.00 using that promo code PLUS, I got free shipping on everything for spending over $99.00. Sears is AWESOME because it’s more than tools and appliances, you can find all your needs at Sears! It really was hard to not get something for myself too.

I had the option to pick up my gifts in store or have them delivered for free. I chose free shipping but as you get closer to the holidays you might want to pick it up in the store. It’s quite easy and once you have your e-mail confirmation and then go to the store it will be ready in five minutes or less, guaranteed.

Buy Online pick up in Store:

Click it. - Just look for items that are marked with “Store Pickup” when you search, browse or are on the Product Details page.
Find your nearest store. – Search by ZIP code.
Receive your confirmation. - Sears will email you when it’s ready.
Pick it up! - Bring your email confirmation, and receive your purchase in five minutes.
