Every little discount helps

Confession time:

Okay, so I have grandiose dreams of saving every penny possible, but reality looks a little different. I go through phases when I clip coupons like crazy, take them to the store with me once or twice, then lose the coupon folder in my clutter. I think couponing is a great idea, but I know my personality. As much as I would love to not spend an extra dime, I am just not organized enough to sustain the habit.

Rebates are an even worse downfall of mine. It is so tempting to spend more up front on the brand name product because it will be "free" (or at leaster cheaper than the off brand) after rebate. The problem is, I lose track of what forms need to be completed, what receipts go with them, and when the deadlines are. Again, my organization habits (or lack thereof) are to blame.

I really succeed at saving with up-front discounts and freebies. I know I can always get free shipping at Land's End and Amazon (with Amazon Prime). I know if I get anything full price at J. C. Penney I paid too much. And I have gotten so much cool stuff from freebie bloggers. No longer do my kids ask, "Is there anything for me?" when we get the mail. Now they say "Are there any freebies?" Hopefully I will have a freebie I can give away soon for you, my followers. I am just getting started at blogging and learning the ropes. Getting advertisers is the key to benefiting from blogging. So, without further ado, I am going to tell you about a company.

Drumroll please: .... My first advertiser is: Zulily. I have to confess I have never bought anything from Zulily, but I LOVE to read the emails. A regular email comes to your inbox with products from different companies for moms, babies and kids. The brands Zulily features are top-name brands, and some you may not have heard of, but everything is SO cute. It is not just clothing that they offer - baby bottles and toys show up there, too. I sometimes think I would have another baby just to get such cute things... or maybe not (just checking to see if my husband is reading). Luckily I have 2 new nieces who need lots of cute things. I have talked to friends who have bought things through Zulily and they have all been very happy with it. With Christmas coming up, I am going to have to stretch every dollar so I have to buy things at a discount.

So give it a try, join Zulily. Daily deals for moms, babies & kids. Every little discount helps. And if you get to look at cute baby things in the process, all the better.
