For the Locals

This post is for those of you who live near me:

At the Galleria Mall in Redondo Beach, The Disney Store is closing its doors in early April 2010.  Right now, the entire back half of the store is on clearance, and you can find some great deals up to 75% off!  They will be continuing to discount the back half of the store until they close.  (If you can't make it to the store, check out the Disney Store Outlet online; this online store also has amazing deals!  Right now you can even take an additional 20% off their outlet prices by using code "outlet20" at checkout.)

Another store in the mall going out of business is Yankee Candle.  Yankee will be closing its doors on January 30th. Right now, the front half of the store is all 50-75% off.  Every Fall & Christmas large candle jar is $12, and the medium jars are $10.  This is over 50% off!  They also have car plug-in scents, plug-in scents for your home, and various small potpourri items for 75% off.  The store is also selling all of their fixtures and furniture, and they have some beautiful end tables and other tables for your home for only $20 each.  They are all maple finished.

Get these great deals before they sell out!

$5 Dinners!

I just came across this great website & cookbook called "Five Dollar Dinners", and I am so excited to try them! (I briefly thought of doing some kind of "Julie & Julia" challenge and making the recipes every single night - since I just watched that movie - but then realized that was just me being a little to spontaneous again and decided instead just to blog about it) :)

Anyway, this woman has some GREAT dinners on her site, and I have just created my menu for the week using many of these recipes. If you are on a tight budget, like I am, this is a GREAT book for you.

Please visit her site today and get some recipe ideas for your home - better yet, buy the book!
She is also giving away 10 FREE copies a day of this book (for just a few more days) so you can also enter that contest on her site.

(Almost) Free 2010 Planner!

My friend Mindy just posted this GREAT online deal for a personalized 2010 planner from Snapfish.com for only $1.49 shipped.

However, you only have until December 31st to get this, so hurry!!!

(You can also apply your $10 credit from Snapfish for any other product on their site if you don't want a planner)

FREE at Vons!

Vons/Pavilions is doing 12 Days of FREE items.  All you have to do is go to this link:

http://www.vons.com/IFL/Grocery/12Days-Save

Print off the coupon for the particular day you want, and spend at least $20.  Today's special is a box of free Betty Crocker cake mix, and tomorrow is a dozen eggs.  While you will probably not go spend $20 every day, if you need to go shopping anyway, this can be a great deal!

Another great feature Vons has is that you can download coupons from their site directly onto your Vons Club Card!! I am so excited about this, because it means no more digging in the bottom of my purse to find my coupons!  Just click here to start saving!

Win a Free Necklace!

There are a ton of giveaways going on all over the blogging world.  This is one of my favorites!  I LOVE this jewelry.  If you would like to win a set for yourself, visit this link.

Need New Furniture?

One of the best places I have found for furniture is Overstock.com.  They have amazing deals on office furniture, dining room sets, couches, and even name brand pillow-top bed mattresses.  The best part of all is that shipping is only $1!!!  The next time I need a new California King mattress, I will definitely be buying off of overstock.com, as they have some for as low as $700.  I have compared prices for months on mattresses and this site has THE best deals.  Another great feature is that buyers rate the items, so you can always read what others say about it before you buy it.

This is also a great site to buy Christmas presents off of, and you probably wouldn't need to shop anywhere else.  You cannot beat that $1 shipping.  Find jewelry, books, CD's, DVD's, electronics, clothing, home goods and more!
