I procrastinated ordering my holiday photo cards, so uploaded my pics to Walmart.com and picked up my order in-store at the one-hour photo center yesterday.  Walmart was a ZOO! I stood in line forever just to check out.  Luckily I’m all done buying gifts or else I’d definitely be surfing the sites above to avoid the chaos in the offline world.

Happy Shopping!

Yes, I know I’ve been slacking on the videos. My microphone has been playing tricks on me. But I have been accumulating quite the collection of freebies! Let’s see what all I have in my free USPS priority box (I do plan to use this box to mail out out Amanda’s prize)…

All Current Walmart Free Sample Offers I received Tampax tampons, Huggies baby wipes, Garnier Nutritioniste deep wrinkle treatment, Jergens Naturals daily moisturizer, PUR magnetic notepad, Viva paper towels. Walmart freebies are usually only available for a short time, so check their frequently for new offers!

I should be stocked up on feminine supplies for awhile, as I also received Free Always Infinity, Stayfree Ultra-Thin pads and Free Kotex pantiliners.

Pampers Diapers Free $1.50 off Coupon 

Free Sample Quaker Dark Chocolate Raspberry Almond True Delights 

Free Disney Cruise Planning Kit / DVD I would love to take my kids on a Disney cruise!  I better get on that as soon they will be too old to want to go!

Pepsi / Frito-Lay Coupons that I received from their latest rebate offer. Be sure to check out all current rebate forms – you can score lots of good free stuff as long as you remember to mail in the forms!
