Mailbox Monday & More! 2/02/09

Posted by kim on February 2, 2009

Now, on to today’s Mailbox Monday Video… (I apologize in advance for the poor sound quality)

I usually watch the Super Bowl mainly for the commercials (as in high school, I wanted to write and produce television commercials), but I think the game itself was actually better than the commercials this year!  I’d say the best commercia though was Cash4Gold.com – it’s a legitimate company that offers you cash for your unwanted gold jewelry.  Request a Free Refiner’s Return Kit from Cash4Gold.com with no commitment. 

Rebate checks I received this week -

P& G Check for the Oral-B Pulsonic Toothbrush $15 Rebate  (I gave this to my brother for Christmas – he said it works good)

Note: The Oral-B Pulsonic Rechargeable Power Toothbrush is only $39.99 from Hocks.com (I paid over $50 for my brother’s offline).  Final price after mail-in rebate is only $24.99!

I ordered several Christmas gifts from Amazon.com this year, and a couple of items offered a free magazine subscription with purchase.  Well, Amazon offers the option to mail in your receipt with a rebate form to receive a refund for the cost of the magazine if you don’t want to receive the magazine subscription.  So I saved a tree and now have some extra cash instead of receiving Wired and Outside magazines.

Famous Footwear’s Rewards Certificate Note if you can find a pair of shoes (usually on the clearance rack) for the exact same price of your rewards certificate, the shoes will be totally free – you don’t even have to pay tax! Register for free.

Free Sample Quaker Mini Delights or Quakes Rice Snacks

Free Sample Glad Storage Bags from Walmart – currently unavailable – but check out all of these New Walmart Samples!

Featured Magazine Subscription – More Magazine – best price online $7.99/year from DotComMags.com – Plus Free Shipping! MORE celebrates the twenty years women now have in the middle of their lives. Features on health, beauty, relationships, travel, money, home and fashion.

P.S. I was upset to see the Pepsi Stuff promo ended on 12/31/08.  A friend of mine had just given me a big bag full of pop caps for me to enter, too!  Luckily, My Coke Rewards, on the other hand, is still going strong.

Happy New Year! Welcome to the first Mailbox Monday edition of the 2009 year!  Today is my son, Taylor’s 18th birthday which makes me feel old!  He is now half my age!

Free 2009 Oriental Trading Calendar includes stickers and recognized days of interest.  Did you know today was National Bird Day?  Tomorrow is Cuddle Up Day. You should learn something new everyday!

Request several samples from Costco.com I received Kirkland Diapers and Poise Pads.  You do not have to be a Costco membership to request these.

Request several Samples from Walmart.com I received Orville Redenbacher popcorn.  These samples are only available for a short time, so act quickly.  And if you are lucky enough to request them, they arrive in your mailbox rather quickly.

My Walmart now a Redbox vending machine where you can rent videos for $1 each which excites me.  Rent free movies with Red Box Codes! I just wish my Walmart was a little closer than 20 miles away!

FREE Tivo Cookie Cutter (unavailable now, sorry)  I never got around to making cut-out sugar cookies when I made Christmas candy and cookies this year, but I need to make cookies for our school’s snack day sale this week.  Looks like we’ll be making TiVo cookies!

FREE Tom Pace book: Mentor: The Kid and the CEO $11.95 value.  Request more Free Books! Once you’re done reading your free books, you could always resell on them eBay.com and/or Half.com.

This year I cheated and sent out free postcards for Christmas instead of full-blown cards. My friends already know I’m a cheapskate, so I might as well save 15¢ per card on postage.  You can order free postcards for any occassion – party invites, showers, announcements, etc.

Next Monday, I will be in Las Vegas for Affiliate Summit (where I’m a finalist for a Pinnacle Award) so there will be no Mailbox Monday – don’t miss me too much!  I’ll miss you all!

Have a great week!
