Vista Print has won my heart again.  For $2 one can purchase a Customized Premium  T-Shirt. The T-shirts are made from 100% PRE-shrunk cotton.  I hate nothing more than to buy an article of clothing and have it shrivel up to nothing in the wash!  There are loads of designs to choose from and you can add text.  Alternatively, you could create your own design with your own personal pictures or even the button from your blog (possible tax write-off here). Shipping starts at $4.41.  Add the two together and you’ve got yourself a t-shirt you’ve designed, can wear proudly and for a mere $6.61. That’s a deal!


My Points Members


Have you read the bonus email from them regarding FTD online purchases?  They are offering…20 mypoints per dollar!  That’s 600 mypoints on a $30 purchase.  Six hundred points is nearly the equivalent of $5 if you utilize your points on a 1600 pt. reward.


You can log in {here}.
If you’re not a member you can join {here}.


If you’re not familiar with mypoints here’s a synopsis of how their program works taken from my Internet Shopper Click thru page:


Mypoints.com offers many opportunities to earn points, which can then be redeemed for different items, including gift cards.  When shopping (clicking) through their site to the store you are making your purchase at you will earn points for each dollar spent. Points per dollar vary from store to store. I recommend downloading and using the My Points toolbar as you earn points for searching the web through their toolbar. Opting in to receive their emails (you must click on the advertisement in order to receive credit) will earn you 5pts each or more if you sign up for an offer.  Printing and redeeming coupons each month will earn you points.  I have cashed in points for itunes gift cards and restaurant cards without incident.  At the time of this positing (1/15/11),  I have over 32000 points available to cash in on when I am ready to. The points truly add up fast if you work the program. Update: Since 1/15/11 when I had 32,000 pts., I now have over 34500 pts., and honestly, that increase is not from shopping and clicking thru their site.  


On another note…my goal this week is to catch me a trout.  We can count day one (Monday) as being a no-go.  I had bites but NOTHING took my hook :-(.  My daughter’s father…he was blessed to catch a horn pout.  I don’t foresee me catching anything tomorrow either.  It’s suppose to rain.  Maybe the sky will change its mind and I can go for a couple of hours.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed.  Pa said when I catch me a trout…he’s gonna cook it the way he saw on Food Network….I think he’s jinxed me!


Make it a great day everyone!

Big Kid Calls

Huggies, the maker of Pull-ups, has a reward for “BIG” kids who go on the potty.  You can set up a call for your kiddo to receive a call from the Pixar Cars 2 Character or a Disney Princess after using the potty…simply to congratulate them. Set up your child’s call here.

If you missed the post on Huggies offer of a Potty Training Video….you can get the link {here}.

How fun!  I remember the Geoffrey from Toys ‘R Us calling my daughter on her birthday.  She thought she was quite the young lady to be having him call her to say Happy Birthday. If I had only had this potty training tool around when she was small, maybe she would have stayed with the potty training longer.  She was almost two and began to use the potty…then she decided that wasn’t going to be the case…point blank.  Okay then, I got sick of stressing over it and next thing I knew…she decided shortly after she turned 3 that she was going to use the potty all the time.

I hope you all had a fabulous and productive weekend!  Mine was good somewhat productive :-). Let’s make it a great week! Hopefully, I will catch a trout this week.  I am the only one who hasn’t :-(.

Get Your Credit Score for FREE

Credit Karma  is a secure website just like signing into a bank’s website.  Your credit score will be displayed after verifying who you are which is done by answering a series of questions. There are no strings attached to this offer….I did NOT have to enter any form of payment.  {click here}
It’s actually a good thing to know what your credit score is.  If it’s really good…use it to your advantage.  For instance, when I was in search for a car a couple years ago, I knew what my credit score was.  I then went online to see what the interest rates were going for on a used car (I don’t buy new…I hate the thought of losing $2-$3 thousand dollars the moment I drive the car off the lot).  Knowing this information lead me to know what I was talking about when it came to financing at the dealership.  
The finance man tried telling me the best we could get for an interest rate would be around 8.9%.  I sat there and told him I knew we could do better. He tried to convince me that even if he could get it down to 6.9% the payment wouldn’t be all that much more than one at 4.9%.  That wasn’t the point I was trying to get across to this man.  The point was…I knew I could get a better rate and why shouldn’t I?  I knew he was getting a kick-back from the financing company he wanted to put us through…not my problem…I wanted the rate I deserved.  In the end, I got the interest rate I felt I shouldn’t have had to fight for…4.9%. 
Happy Friday! Make it a great weekend!
