GREAT Savings! $5 FREE Hallmark Stores Coupon (Get FREE Cards, Gifts, & More!)

Posted on December 10, 2009 | Leave a comment

Hallmark has a terrific coupon online (click here) for $5 off any purchase (a $5 or less item would be FREE!)…perfect for a nice discount on Christmas cards or stocking stuffers!  Don’t wait too long to print this, as I’m not sure how long Hallmark will have this up on their site.

Coupon Savings Tip: If you subscribe to Southern Living, Martha Stewart, or a number of other home magazines, Hallmark also ran this $5 coupon as an insert in many December issues.  You can use both coupons (the online coupon and the magazine version), if you make separate purchases.

Enjoy!  :)

LAST DAY REMINDER: $5 Magazine Subscriptions ~ Southern Living, Popular Mechanics, Sports Illustrated for Kids, Smart Money, & Many More

Posted on December 1, 2009 | Leave a comment

I rarely post magazine deals, but Amazon has a long list of magazine subscriptions on sale for $5 (many end today!) that is too good of a bargain not to mention. I’ve never seen this many magazines selling at such rock-bottom prices (even the 2 year subscriptions are incredibly cheap!). If you already subscribe, you can use the offer to extend your subscription (just make sure you use the same name and address).

There is an abundance of $5 subscription titles to choose from. Here is a small sample of the list (great gift ideas!):

Home & Garden Interests

Magazine - Good Housekeeping

Magazines for the Family

Magazine - Disney Family FunMagazine - National Geographic

Special Interests

Magazine - Popular MechanicsMagazine - Road and Track

Savings Tip: Bundle your purchases. If you have any other shopping to do with Amazon, magazine purchases will work as a great filler to get the FREE Shipping from Amazon when you spend $25 or more.

These make excellent stocking stuffers at this price!

Enjoy! :)
