If you are a homeschool family, here’s a nice program for kids in grades K-6! Through September 1st, head on over here and fill out the form to request free BOOK IT! materials for the 2013-14 Pizza Hut BOOK IT!

Even sweeter, I’ve heard that the BOOK IT! Materials may include coupons for FREE Personal Pan pizzas as they have in previous years – which would be a nice bonus! Head on over here to sign up!

UPDATE – You can also head on over to Mamapedia to snag a deal for TWO personalized outfits + FREE shipping for only $32 after entering the promo code SEP2012 on the Mamapedia site (20% off) – through tomorrow only! (Thanks, Amanda!)

WooHoo! Reader Nicole just emailed to let me know that she received an email from FabKids with an offer for $5 off her first purchase after completing a short survey. Even sweeter, some readers have received offers up to $20 off just for completing a survey – how sweet is that! Be sure to check your inbox, trash, or spam folders for an email with a subject line of “We’d Love To Hear What You Think + $5 Thank You” and complete the short survey to receive the credit in your account.

As I mentioned previously, FabKids is a site launched with mom and creative partner, Christina Applegate, that helps busy parents keep growing girls in stylish and comfortable head-to-toe outfits. Each month, FabKids offers up a 3 piece outfit like a graphic tee, tulle knit skirt and footless tights for $39.95 shipped.

But here’s the best part, you can join FabKids now and you’ll pay just $25 for the first outfit + FREE shipping! They’ve even added new super cute Fall outfits and layering items to help keep your girl warm on those cool days. To sweeten things further, whenever you head to checkout, you’ll also snag a FREE shirt from FabKids (choose between sizes XXS-L). Keep in mind that FabKids is currently available for girls in sizes 2 through 8 (girls sizes 10 and 12 are coming soon!). That makes each item just $6.25 shipped!

On a side note, the team over at FabKids recently sent my 5 year old daughter, Piper, her very first FabKids outfit (pictured above) and I have to admit that I was more than impressed. Besides the fact that the entire outfit was packaged really nicely (it would definitely make a great gift!), the clothes seem to be of really high quality and they really are super cute!

(Piper in her new favorite shirt, courtesy of FabKids! )

If you’re interested in checking out FabKids further, head on over here and take a little time to browse around. And be sure to check your email before heading over to FabKids.com to see if you received an exclusive survey offer.

IMPORTANT: Note that there is NO obligation to purchase outfits monthly from FabKids. Each month FabKids will pick out an outfit for you (or you can choose your own outfit) and they’ll notify you one week before your outfit is shipped. If you “skip this month” within 7 days of receiving your monthly outfit pick via email, you will not be charged and nothing will be shipped. You may skip as often as you like. You can also cancel your membership at anytime.

If you have school-aged kiddos and regularly pack lunches (or if you pack your own lunches to take to work or school!), then you likely spend lots of money on plastic baggies.

Again Bags are just that… reusable sandwich and snack bags that are functional, stylish and can be used again and again and again.

To clean your AgainBags, just use a damp cloth and wipe clean. Occasionally, toss in the washing machine and drip dry, or turn inside-out and place on the top shelf of your dishwasher.

If you are interested in making a purchase over at AgainBags.com, be sure to use the promo code Wrap25 at checkout to save 25% off your entire purchase (expires 9/30/12).

Wowser! As I mentioned previously, Thred Up, a site that sells gently used clothing, is currently offering up a FREE $10 credit to anyone who signs up through a referral link. Mine is here if you’d like to use it!

After clicking on this link, then just click on the yellow banner at the top of their site (like the picture above) to sign up for an account and earn your credit. You should then be able to view your account and see that the $10 credit has been applied. Even sweeter, several of you left comments on the previous post about also being able to stack your $10 sign up credit with the promo code AUGUST20 to score an extra 20% off your order (valid for new users only)! Sweet

AND, your FREE $10 credit CAN be used towards shipping, which starts at $6.95. This means that you can snag a FREE clothing item + FREE shipping… just find an item you like priced a little under $4. This should be super easy since there are a ton of clothing items in this price range. Sort low to high to find them quickly.

Your cart should look something like this…

* Make sure to share you referral link with friends and family through Facebook and Twitter etc. You’ll score a FREE $10 credit when they make their first purchasing using the $10 credit they received by signing up through your referral link. It’s a win win!

(Thanks for the reminder, Darla, and to all you readers who left comments about the promo code!)

If your kids are just starting school today like mine, you may be looking for tips and tricks on preparing healthy lunch box foods and/or after-school snacks! How do you pack nutritious foods in your kids lunch box that won’t spoil and that you know they’ll enjoy? Or what simple but affordable snacks can you prepare ahead of time that will be ready for them when they get home from school?

(My daughter Piper headed to Kindergarten this morning! )

Whenever I’m looking for creative ideas, I love heading over to Pinterest and browsing around – there are SO many cute and fun ideas on that site for just about everything you can imagine! I just browsed around and spotted quite a few super cute lunch box and snack ideas…like these Butterfly Snack packs, Animal Cracker Celery Snacks, + much more!

Now it’s your turn… please share your HIP tips with us!

Yay! I just wanted to remind you that this awesome offer from Vistaprint is still available for a few more days (through 8/31)! If you’re in need of a new calendar for the 2012-2013 school year or are looking for an affordable gift idea, you may want to snag a FREE custom wall calendar from Vistaprint (a $15.99 value!)… all you’ll have to pay is $5.32 for shipping!

You can choose from a huge selection of backgrounds (over 100 designs!) and can even upload your own photos for every month, add fun icons (see above) and text to remind you of special occasions, and more! What a great way to keep your kiddo’s school events and other activities organized throughout the year…and a super nice gift idea too!

To get this offer, here’s what you need to do…

* Head over here and click on “Get Started” to begin creating your wall calendar
* Select a photo style or a theme style calendar (this is a great option if you do not have any photos that you would like to use)
* If you select a photo style, you will be prompted to upload your photos
* Then choose which month you would like your calendar to start (LOVE this option! )
* You can then add a photo to each page and customize the calendar with a title, subtitles, and fun icons.
* Complete your wall calendar
* After you’re finished, check the online proof approval box at the bottom of the page
* Click on the continue button, and then choose 1 calendar for FREE

(Look how cute the calendar my sidekick Mary created turned out! )

* You can then click on your cart (in the top right corner) and it should reflect the free wall calendar
* Head to checkout
* Do NOT add any additional items to your order.
* On the partners offers page, make sure to SKIP all the offers by leaving the boxes unchecked.
* Choose slow 21 day shipping (in my experience it never takes even close to this long!)…in fact my sidekick Mary received her calendar in exactly 10 days!
* Your final cost should be only $5.32 shipped! That’s it!

Through August 26th, you can snag FREE shipping (no minimum!) and no coupon code needed.

Even better, through Saturday, 8/25, you can use coupon code SAVE25 to score an additional 25% off all of your purchases! This means you can snag jeans for just $7.50 shipped and graphic tees for as low as $2.99 shipped! Wow!

There are also lots of clearance bargains available, so make sure to browse their clearance section. I spotted a ton of varieties of adorable sleep pants priced at just $6.99 – regularly $12.95, so only $5.24 shipped after the 25% off code! Awesome!

Wow! Plum District currently has an offer that is great for all of you still in the market for lunch boxes, water bottles, and various other Back to School items! Currently, you can score a $40 voucher to use on the Paper & Polka Dots site for only $25! Even sweeter, you can use coupon code PDCOZ10 to save an additional 10% – bringing your final cost down to just $22.50.

Now at first I thought this site was all about paper products by reading the description, but they actually have a ton of items… toys, books, clothing, and more! Plus, they have a clearance section with tons of discounted items. And, I noticed that they have various Goodbyn Lunchbox Kits on clearance for $8.50 to $12.50 (regularly up to $25.95!)…

The Pepper Goodbyn Original Kit bento-style lunchbox utilizes five compartments perfectly sized and perfectly designed to keep kid’s lunches from spilling, sloshing or mixing. Sandwiches won’t taste like your banana and your fresh fruit won’t have biscuit crumbs in it! Made entirely of FDA-approved, BPA-free and phthalate-free materials, the Goodbyn lunchbox is dishwasher-safe and made to last. And when it’s time for a new one, the Goodbyn lunchbox is 100 percent recyclable. And, with hundreds of stickers, kids will love designing their own one-of-a-kind, super cool lunchbox!

I add two $12.50 lunchbox Kits to my cart and one $8.50 lunchbox kit to my cart. My total came to $33.50 + $7.50 shipping, so after the $40 voucher I had to pay just $1, as the voucher did end up going towards shipping! Sweet!

My final out-of-pocket cost for three (3) Goodbyn Lunchbox Kits shipped right to my door… $22.50 for Voucher (with 10% coupon code) + $1 extra for order = Only $23.50 total! That makes each lunchbox kit only $7.83 shipped! This is an awesome price for these considering how much they normally retail for.

Hurry to order… I’m guessing these will sell out fast!

If you are planning to head to Target soon, here are even more deals you may be able to score (in addition to the Target deals posted here, here, here and here)…

Wowser! As I mentioned earlier, Thred Up, a site that sells gently used clothing, is currently offering up a FREE $10 credit to anyone who signs up through a referral link. Mine is here if you’d like to use it!

After clicking on this link, then just click on the yellow banner at the top of their site (like the picture above) to sign up for an account and earn your credit. You should then be able to view your account and see that the $10 credit has been applied. Even sweeter, several of you left comments on the previous post about also being able to stack your $10 sign up credit with the promo code AUGUST20 to score an extra 20% off your order! Sweet

AND, your FREE $10 credit CAN be used towards shipping, which starts at $6.95. This means that you can snag a FREE clothing item + FREE shipping… just find an item you like priced around $4 or less. This should be super easy since there are a ton of clothing items in this price range. Sort low to high to find them quickly.

As I mentioned earlier this morning, I snagged my daughter a cute Toughskins Skort discounted to just $2.99! So after the $10 credit and shipping, I paid nothing! I didn’t even have to enter my credit card info! Yay!

* Make sure to share you referral link with friends and family through Facebook and Twitter etc. You’ll score a FREE $10 credit when they make their first purchasing using the $10 credit they received by signing up through your referral link. It’s a win win!

(Thanks to all you readers who left comments about the promo code!)
