Up to 50% OFF Select Refrigerator Water Filters ~ Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Kitchenaid, & More (No Coupon Needed)

Posted on January 23, 2013 | Leave a comment

Bookmark and Share

Here’s a great deal if that pesky time-to-change-your-water-filter light is blinking on your refrigerator (or about to be)…

Once again, it is way past time for us to replace the water filters on our refrigerator, so it was nice to discover that through January 31, Amazon is giving an extra 20% OFF refrigerator filter replacements for select Whirlpool, Kitchenaid, Kenmore,  Maytag, and Amana refrigerators.  That savings is on top of the current discounted price you’ll see from Amazon, bringing some of the filters to 50% OFF the retail price you would normally pay.

For my purchase, that meant I received from Amazon, 2 Water Filters for more than 50% off the price of the same filters we previously purchased from Sears.

Buying Tip: Do note, that you won’t see the extra 20% discount subtracted from the selling price until you get to the final “Review Your Order”/Order Summary confirmation page (which is the last page you’ll see after you input your shipping and credit card details) ~ right before you actually approve the order to be placed.  It will look something like this (click picture to make it bigger):

Go here to view all the water filters that qualify for the extra 20% OFF sale.  The extra savings sale does expire January 31, 2013.

Enjoy and Share!    :)

40% OFF TurboTax Deluxe ($29.99 For a Limited Time)

Posted on January 19, 2013 | Leave a comment

Bookmark and Share

Amazon has a really great offer on TurboTax this week ~ $29.99 for TurboTax Deluxe Federal + E-File 2012 download for PC or Mac.  If you plan to use this do-it-yourself tax software this year, you might not want to wait on this one, as the price will unlikely stay this low for very long (historically, the price has continued to rise as Tax day approaches, and we expect this year to be no different).  Here’s the scoop…

For a limited time, Amazon is offering TurboTax Deluxe download for PC or Mac for $29.99  (40% OFF, MSRP $49.99) ~ a hot price that we don’t expect to last very long ~ it’s even cheaper than Costco Warehouse!  We did a price comparison with some of our favorite discounters and found this price to be $10 cheaper across the board (e.g. Costco is selling the same software in a boxed version at a discounted box price of $39.99). We haven’t found anyone who has beat the Amazon price yet.

:: Go here to get the TurboTax Deluxe download version for PC or Mac for $29.99.

Enjoy and Share!    :)

FREE Pumpkin Carving Stencils & Jack-O-Lantern Patterns (Over 100 FREE Downloads & Ideas)

Posted on October 15, 2012 | Leave a comment

Bookmark and Share   

Pumpkin Carving

Don’t you love this weather?  It’s a welcome reminder that the beginning of the fall season is here (I don’t know about you, but I am soooo ready!!).  It is the perfect time to make a fun family memory by carving a jack-o-lantern to decorate your home. 

Pick up a couple of inexpensive pumpkins and try you hand at a fun design with one of  these FREE pumpkin stencils!  

  • The Texas Rangers fan club  has 4 FREE Texas Rangers and Texas themed FREE printable jack-o-lantern templates here.  Show your support for our favorite baseball team!
  • Kraft.com has 6 different pumpkin face patterns as well as an easy-to-follow guide for carving pumpkins, here.
  • Hesheys.com offers a wide variety of 30 different patterns from easy to advanced, with printable carving instructions.
  • Better Homes and Gardens provides 6 silly face patterns, here.  And even more creative ideas for decorating pumpkins here.
  • DisneyFamily.com has over 20 Disney character patterns that include Mickey Mouse, Kermit the Frog, Tigger, Phineas and Ferb, and Goofy.
  • Nick Jr. offers favorite Nick Jr. TV show character patterns like Dora the Explorer and many others.
  • PumpkinLady.com provides a wide selection of clever design templates, most for less than $2. Click around the site for some great ideas.  You’ll also find 12 designs for FREE  here.  Follow the pumpkin lady’s Facebook or Twitter pages for other free designs and discounts, too.

I recommend a couple of great tools for making your pumpkin carving project easier:

Pumpkin Carving        Pumpkin Carving

  • For the more serious pumpkin carving project, I recommend the Messermeister Pumpkin Carving Kit which includes a chef quality Pumpkin/Melon knife, scoop and carving tools in a storage case.  The special blades are designed to carve intricate designs beautifully (not for the kiddos, though)!   They’ll give a great grip when cutting and carving pumpkins and thick melons, too.
  • If you want one really good tool, I recommend getting a special Pumpkin/Melon Carving knife. We really like the Warren Pro Pumpkin Carving knife. It is well made with a walnut handle and comes with several sturdy replacement blades that have a fine saw like cutting action ~ they will not bend or break as with the cheaper versions.  Again, this is not safe for kids.

Enjoy and Share! :)
