As I approach the sixth month of my pregnancy, I realize its time to start making some major purchases so I am not stressing out towards the end and have time to relax. Buying baby stuff is fun, however costs add up quickly and it can become quite stressful. Most women will receive a ton of presents from their family, friends and co-workers at their baby shower, but the large items, like furniture and strollers, you will usually purchase on your own. I have learned to shop around in order to save money. You don't have to be cheap and settle, but definitely take advantage of sales!
been pricing cribs for the last few weeks and decided on the AFG Daphne Crib and Changer. This specific crib was available at a few different stores, but Walmart (16 Points/$) had the best price. This crib is perfect for me as I do not have a lot of space in the baby room and it comes with the changing table and some drawers for storage. I ordered it online and am excited to receive it sometime next week. While you are shopping online at Walmart, check out the bedding for the nursery and mattresses too. Memolink.com always has internet store coupons for Walmart, so be sure to check it out and add more to your online savings.
I've always been a big proponent of Expedia (20 points/$) and Orbitz (1,200 points) because I feel they are the best discount sites for flying. My husband likes Priceline.com (40 points/$), so he can "name his own price". Lately, I've been finding the best deals on Frontier airlines through Expedia and can find airfare as low as $190 round trip back home.

The Children's Place carries clothing for children ages newborn to ten years old. I have been a customer for a couple years now and have always been impressed and pleased with the quality of their clothes. They truly have great prices and have a huge selection of fashionable clothes, shoes, accessories, sleepwear and swimwear.
I whole-heartedly recommend this site to anyone with children. Don't forget to check with Memolink.com for kids online coupons!
If you're looking for toys and treats, check out PetSmart Coupons (64 points/$). Right now, they are offering up to 20% off on hundreds of items. Plus they have $5.99 flat rate shipping on orders of $60 or more. PetSmart makes it easy for their customers to return things too. You can buy anything online and then return it in the store if you don't like it. I also like their price match guarantee, so if I find the same item cheaper somewhere else, I can still do all my shopping in one place and get the best pet deals.
I recently discovered AbeBooks.com (40 points/$) and it has become one of my favorite stores. You can find new, used, rare, or out-of-print books through their community of over 13,000 independent booksellers from around the globe. Their selection is huge and you will find everything from bestsellers to textbooks and everything in between. The books are priced as low as $1.00 (used) and shipping varies from Free to just $2.50. I haven't found a site with better prices or selection. You can really stock up on books and save money! When I shop at Abebooks.com I usually end up buying 3-4 books at a time. You can also sell your books on the site as well.
seems every time I turn around someone else is announcing their pregnancy. This has me thinking about baby shower gifts and things I should probably start stocking up on. Expecting parents will appreciate whatever gift you get them, but some ideas are better than others. There are some great online shopping deals that you must check out!
Diapers are always a great gift for newborns and its never too early to start buying them. When I had my first daughter, I was so stocked up I didn't have to buy diapers for the first few months and it was so nice. If you want to give diapers as a gift, get them a size or two up.. the babies grow fast! Plus, people that buy diapers usually get the newborn size and having a variety of sizes will allow parents to be prepared with for the months ahead. If you shop at Diapers.com (16 points/$) you will get $5 off diapers. Memolink has baby product coupons for Diapers.com. Use code: AFFL10 to save $10 off your first order and receive FREE shipping on orders over $50. Place your order by 6pm for overnight or 2 day delivery.

Did you know that almost one third of New Year's Resolutions are to lose weight and get in shape? Most people get started in January, but then it fizzes out after a few months, sometimes after a few weeks. If this is going to be your resolution, one way to help yourself stay committed is to buy some new work out gear! I know that may sound silly but think about it, if you invest in some new clothes it will give you the confidence you need and make you comfortable in the gym environment; especially if this is new to you. Let's face it, when you look good, you feel good. I have found some great online shopping deals to share with you so you have somewhere to start.
Check out the huge selection of athletic shoes for men and women at Shoes.com (120

Being almost four months pregnant, I have reached the stage to where my regular clothes are starting to get tight, which means its time to start shopping for maternity clothes. I haven't worn maternity clothes in a couple of years, and to be honest, I wasn't really looking forward to it again. But I realized that now there are tons of trendy maternity clothes and for great prices! You obviously don't want to spend a ton of money on clothes that you are only going to be wearing for the next few months, so please read on for some great online shopping deals.
I personally like the jeans from Motherhood (64 points/$). They have such a wide selection of styles from straight leg, boot cut and flare; you can get the secret belly fit or the under belly style. Just because you are a mom-to-be doesn't mean you have to wear "mom jeans" - stay stylish while being comfortable! Their jean prices range from $19.99 to $49.98 so there is something for every budget. Motherhood also has tons of cute tops to chose from from dressy to casual. Special online deals from Motherhood include buy one get one half off - long v neck or long sleeve crew neck tees, and shipping is only $6 for every order.
Another one of my my favorite places for maternity clothes is the GAP. The GAP (32 points/$) always has great store sales online for their already inexpensive maternity wear. Right now, you can save an extra 20% off items that are already on sale! Also, Target has some of the best clothes at the best prices. At Target you earn 56 points per dollar and they always have a ton of internet store coupons at Memolink.com. I love the huge selection of maternity dresses. You can wear them to work or for date night and they are extremely comfortable.
During pregnancy everyone wants to look and feel good, but I recommend buying only what you need because your belly grows so fast and you are only wearing these clothes for a few months. You should enjoy shopping for your beautiful body, but save some money for that bundle of joy of yours!
Raise your hand if you dread New Years Eve as much as I do. It's normally the most anti-climactic holiday we have, and weirdly it's the one everyone gets the most excited about even though we know we're setting ourselves up for disappointment. I have one rule to follow that will combat the inevitable NYE Let-Down.
Don't go anywhere that requires you to buy tickets or pay a cover. This automatically means crowds, performances of some sort and usually standing outside wearing clothes not made for blustery, winter weather. The price you pay to get in the door and stand shoulder to shoulder with other glittery strangers, will not be worth the cheap champaign and stupid confetti you spend the next week getting out of your hair, clothes and area rug. Instead my vote is to surround yourself with a small group of good friends and some delicious eats.
If you have people over, shop online at memolink.com and earn free points to purchase some gourmet appetizers and wine. It may seem strange to purchase food at online discount sites, but it's actually very convenient - and saves you from the stress of play bumper buggy at the market during the holidays. Shop Olive Nation (80 points/$) online for some great snack ideas. They have oils and tapenades and sauces for dipping bread, along with olives and nuts. Omaha Steaks (56 points/$) also has great appetizers, deserts and wine if you are looking for something a little hardier and rich. Omaha Steaks also has online specials this week and they guarantee arrival before New Years. Memolink also offers points for shopping at Wine.com (40 points/$) and they currently have three online shopping discount codes available for various dollar-off deals.
Here's your assignment. Send out your evite this week. Shop on Memolink.com for some wine and snacks. Then go buy a little black dress (looking good is the best part of NYE anyway), and enjoy your friends. That's the best way to start the new year, right?
Have a happy and safe start to 2010!
One of my favorite holidays of the year is New Years Eve. Whether you are attending a wild party with friends, spending a romantic evening with someone special, or going to a concert, chances are you want to look stunning on this special night. After you have chosen the perfect outfit, shoes, accessories and hairstyle, you need to find the right makeup to complete your look. I use to be a makeup artist and my personal favorite look is the Smokey Eye; it is sexy and sophisticated, everyone can pull it off and it’s easy to do! Just read below for some helpful tips. I am also going to let you know where to get the best online bargains so you can save money.
Let me start with one specific product I love. The Smokey Eye Brush Set from Sephora (40 points/$), which is on sale for just $42, regularly $89. (Enter Smokey Eye Brush Set in the search bar at Sephora.com). The kit includes 5 brushes (wide smudge, all-over shadow, small domed smudge, detail, and dual-sided brow brush and comb), Volume Mascara in black, AND an instructional how-to booklet that gives you 6 easy steps to achieve this look. All of this comes in a chic gunmetal faux-leather case.
You can use the instructional booklet to help you create the look, but here is another easy way to create the look:
Instead of the traditional black and grey smokey eye look, try using colors to really make your eyes pop. Blue eyes: browns, golds, warm taupes; Green eyes: deep purples, plums, mauves, lilacs; Brown eyes: blues, turquoise, greens, brighter colors are best; Hazel eyes: your eye color can change like a chameleon; you can go either way with purples or browns.
Now let’s talk about some online shopping deals! I mentioned above that you will earn free points for every dollar at Sephora, but you’re also going to get 3 free samples with every order. Sephora is also offering up to 75% off some of their new items!
If you purchase your products at ULTA Beauty, you are going to earn 64 points/$ through Memolink's Online Rewards Program. Right now Ulta is offering 30% Off One Item Plus get 3 Free Samples with Every Order, use beauty product coupon code: CJ30OFF1. Check out Ulta.com for other special holiday deals like a FREE Luxury Robe with a fragrance purchase of $30 or more!
New Years Eve is all about the glitz and glam, so ring in the New Year with head-turning looks worthy of a midnight kiss or two!
Is your Christmas shopping done yet? Mine is, but here’s the real catch…having people repeatedly ask me what I want for Christmas. Really in today’s market, I don't need anything, but what do I want??? Shoes of course!
If you are a shoe lover like me, DSW is a GREAT place to find discount deals online on brand name shoes in every style. So why not ask for a gift card? Then you can shop through Memolink.com, where right now you can ean 64 points/$, plus get free shipping with a purchase of $35 or more. Just use their store code online, SNOWMAN. They always have great store deals online in their clearance section, where you can get an extra 30%-70% off. Just last week I got a gorgeous pair of purple Guess stilettos for only $45, usually over $100. You just can’t beat that.
What's even better, is DSW not only has discount deals on shoes but they also carry handbags as well. Handbags in every color, brand, shape and size to go perfectly with your new shoes. So, now when someone asks you what you want for Christmas you have the perfect answer and if you haven’t quit finished your shopping just yet you also have an gift idea for both the men and women in your home. What better way to spend the holidays, but shopping for shoes?

Cheers to Old Navy, they always seem to have what I'm looking for and at a great price. I saw on Memolink.com that they have an awesome deal going on for this weekend, 56 pts/$. Sweet.
I'm a big fan of Old Navy's sweaters and they almost always have my size and then some. You can get sweaters up to a XXXL. What's great is their sweaters are a little lighter than other sweaters you find, so its easy to wear a button up shirt underneath them and not get too warm. Their argyle sweaters are my favorite and work well for casual Fridays at work.
It's good to know they always have a bunch of children deals and store deals online on a pretty regulay basis too. For example, you can get boys polo shirts for just $5 and fleece hats for $3. If you have little girls, you can get v-neck t-shirts for just $5 or fleece pants for $10. Old Navy has a gift section where you can shop by price: $5, $10, $15, or $20 gifts, making it easy to shop. My wife loves buying stocking stuffers at Old Navy. We're big fans.
