Christmas Shopping on a Budget - Coffee Deals

This is the second post in the "Christmas Shopping on a Budget" series. Go here to read my other post.

Do you have coffee lovers on your gift list? You can get a very nice present for them very inexpensively!

Gevalia has a couple of different offers available right now:

Get 2 boxes of coffee, a FREE coffeemaker and a Gevalia stainless scoop for just $9.95 plus shipping! Click Here

Get 3 Boxes of coffee and a FREE stainless steel travel mug for just $3 with Free Shipping! Click Here

Take note that when you place your order, you are also signing up to have coffee delivered to you regularly (and you'll be billed regularly too!) However, there is no obligation to continue with this subscription and you can cancel it very easily.

Place your order for the $9.95 or $3 package and as soon as you receive it, you can go to Gevalia's website or call toll free 1-800-GEVALIA to cancel any future shipments.


Boca Java also has a special promotion:

Get 4 bags of coffee plus a FREE mug for just $12.95 plus shipping! Click Here

This is the same situation as the Gevalia deal. When you order, you are subscribing to have coffee delivered to you on a regular basis. There is no obligation to continue the subscription and it is very easy to cancel. After you receive your $12.95 order, go to the Boca Java website and go to your "Home Delivery Settings" page. There you can change the frequency of your deliveries or have them canceled altogether.

(If you have ordered a Boca Java promotional deal in the past, the terms state that you can order one every six months. If it has been six months since your last order, go ahead and order again!)

Now go cross some more people off your shopping list!

Christmas Shopping on a Budget - iRazoo

There are so many ways that I have saved on my Christmas shopping this year and I want to share them with my readers to help you save on your Christmas shopping too! I'll be posting a series on this subject. I don't know how many segments will be in the series - I'll just write until I run out of ideas!

• So... on to the first idea which would be iRazoo.

iRazoo is very similar to Swagbucks in that it is a search engine. Just do all your normal web searching through iRazoo and you can instantly win Amazon gift cards! Besides chances to win instantly, you can also earn points which can then be redeemed for prizes or gift cards. It is extremely easy to earn points and you can earn up to 300 per day. It only takes 3000 points to earn a $5 Amazon gift card, so you could earn $5 every 10 days! You earn points by voting whether or not you like a web site or by leaving a comment about the web site.

Also, any time someone you refers to iRazoo instantly wins a gift card, you'll win a gift card of the same amount!

When you sign up with iRazoo, you'll automatically get to start out with 50 points!

There are lots of great deals to be found on Amazon.com, and they become even better when you can pay for them with gift cards you got free!

JCPenney: $10 off $10 Purchase

Here's a great gift idea for Father's Day gifts or early Christmas shopping:

Right now when you shop online at JCPenney, you can get $10 off any purchase of $10 or more! Just enter code GR8DAD when you check out.

There are plenty of items on clearance - like this wheeled duffel bag on clearance for $19.99 that was $80. They even have a special section that is $9.99 and under.

You will have to pay shipping - you can either have it shipped to your house or pay $4.50 to have it shipped to the store.

If you sign up for Ebates, you'll receive a $5 sign-up bonus, plus receive 4% back on your purchase from JCPenney. Plus, for a limited time, you can also earn $30 for every 3 friends you refer to Ebates. (I'll earn too, so I'd love it if you dear readers would consider signing up under my referral link.) The sign-up bonus would cover your shipping charges, so if you found something for $10, it would be like getting it for free!

Since we have a baby girl on the way, I've been admiring some of the baby clothes that are on clearance. The problem is trying to decide on just one thing to order!

If you find something great to buy, please leave a comment and let us all know! Maybe it will give others some ideas on what they can get!

Gift Idea: Flip Video Camera

I like to shop for Christmas gifts all year long when I find great deals, and I assume many of you do as well. If you want to see all the gift ideas that I post, you can find them here.


I really wanted one of these last Christmas, but I had to settle for something a little nicer. :) Even so, this would be a great gift for Father's Day or to put away for a Christmas gift.


This Flip Video Camera is normally $149.99, but today it's on sale for $49.99 with free shipping! If you're not familiar with the Flip Camera, it's a pocket sized camcorder that holds 30 minutes of video with no tapes or memory required. When you're ready to upload the video to your computer, you can just plug it in with the built in USB. You can also email your videos, upload directly to YouTube or AOL, or capture still photos from video.

You can order it here. Just remember that Amazon's prices tend to go up and down, so if you plan to order this, you'll probably want to do it soon before the price goes back up!

Don't forget that if you use Swagbucks, you can redeem points for Amazon gift cards to help pay for this!

Store Coupons

-Check yesterday's newspaper (May 28) for your Sears fashion pass coupon to get an extra 15% off ALL apparel, footwear, and accessories. The coupon is good May 29-31.

You can also get the 15% off when you shop online by using coupon code APPSAVINGS15.

I love it when you can use these codes on clearance items! I'm looking at this Carter's infant dress on clearance for $7.99. An extra 15% off would make it only $6.79! And many items have free ship-to-store so you won't have to pay extra for shipping either.


-Saturday only, you can use this printable coupon to save 15% on any purchase, or 20% off any purchase of $100 or more at Kohl's.
If you shop online you can use these codes: BUYNSAVE20 (20% off $100 or more) or SAVEFIFTEEN (15% off any purchase.)


-JCPenney is offering a printable coupon to save $10 off any purchase $25 or more, good 5/28 through 6/2.

If you shop online at Sears or Kohls, don't forget to shop through Mr. Rebates to get extra cash back on your purchase! You'll get 2% back for Sears purchases and 3% back for Kohls purchases, making any good deals you find even better!

Kid's Gift Idea from Amazon.com

This is so exciting! I have been telling my husband that I wanted to get my son a rocking horse for his birthday. I've been watching the sales for them, but haven't come across one to fit my budget yet. Today I saw that Amazon.com has this Radio Flyer Classic Wood Rocking Horse for $29.99, originally $129.99! Plus, I'll be buying it with Amazon giftcards that I got from Swagbucks, so I'll be able to get it for free!

Earn Money Online: Swagbucks

One of the very easiest and most productive ways to earn money online is by doing all your web searches through Swagbucks.

As you search the web, you can randomly win Swagbucks. I usually win at least one Swagbuck every single time I do a search.

Swagbucks can be redeemed for prizes or gift cards. I love the fact that you can redeem Swagbucks for Amazon gift cards. It only takes 450 Swagbucks to redeem for a $5 Amazon gift card. I can easily get up to 450 Swagbucks in about a month just by regular searching. If you refer others to Swagbucks, though, you win a Swagbuck every single time your referrals win one (up to 1000 Swagbucks)!

I love using Swagbucks to get Amazon gift cards that I can then use to buy Christmas gifts or just things that I need.
