Coming out of the closet....

I am a couponer. There I said it. Lately, we have gotten a bad rap from that TV show. You know the one...I don't want to even say the name to give them any more publicity. People using fraudulent coupons and clearing shelves so there is nothing left for anyone else. Using their kids as their little couponing slaves and hoarding so much food they can't possibly use it before it expires.

Okay, rant over. I am not that kind of couponer. I'm the one who is happy to save $15 or $20 off groceries so my husband can have the brand of expensive pickles he likes and we can have some extra treats in the pantry. And I am fortunate to be able to donate to our local homeless shelter the things on their wish list.

I wanted to share with you a couple of places that I go to to find the best deals on stuff:

Vocal Point- they have coupons, samples, and special offers. This morning they sent me coupons for Motts for Tots. http://www.vocalpoint.com/mottsfortots

There are tons of deals to be found on Facebook too! One page I follow is Deal Wise Mommy. Another is Coupon Geek. Both share coupons and great deals to be found around the web and in stores. I know there are tons more- you could make a full time job out of clipping coupons and shopping around. But thats when you fall into that area of being a little bit extreme ;)

Happy Birthday Scrap Outside the Box!

$2 Tuesday with a twist!

I couldnt decide which kit to put on sale for $2 this week, so I decided to do a little RAK instead! Here is a coupon good for $2 to my shop at Designs in Digital! The coupon will only be valid for 1 day- Tuesday, June 16th. There are tons of items in my shop for $2 or you can use the coupon towards a larger kit.

Just in case you cant read the graphic- which is showing up really small-the coupon code is: save2on616. The coupon will work on anything except new releases and collabs.

I hope you all have a great Tuesday!

Freebie, Coupon and Products

Wow...What a crazy month November has been! I cannot believe it has been weeks since I've posted anything. If you have read any of my previous posts, you know that I am involved with our local Builders Association. Right now we are in the middle of our "Building a Better Christmas" toy drive. We partner with Toys For Tots and take applications and distribute the toys. Its a lot of work and a lot of fun, but like all of these things its also heartbreaking. In the end, its worth every bit of stress and I know that the families we are helping are blessed because of it.

I do have a few updates for you....this post is kinda long, but there are goodies tucked in so be sure to scroll all the way through!

New Releases: (images are clickable)

And a Coupon....$2 off anything from my Designs in Digital store including commercial use items. Use coupon code MB_PRESENT4U_2. This is just a little holiday giftie for you. I am thankful for all that I have and all that I have received this year and I just wanted to share! The coupon does expire on November 30th so be sure to use it before then.

Some Designs in Digital news....Santa Is coming to DID TODAY!!! This amazing sack will be only $3.50 and will have a wonderful contribution from each of the DID designers. You do not want to miss this! And on Nov 26th our forum will be filled with special challenges for each kit in the collection. Complete the challenges and you will have a chance to win some amazing prizes.

And finally, a freebie for you! Its small, just one paper and a little birdie, but it will get you started on those holiday pages! Click on the image to download!
