Kim’s Shopping Blog

Let’s dig right in… 

Free Huggies Supreme Gentle Care and Natural Fit diaper from Walmart is now unavailable, but here’s a list of current Walmart freebies. My kids are no longer in diapers (thank God!) so I will be giving this sample to my cousin with three little ones in diapers.

Free Sample ‘Sore No More’ Natural Pain Relieving Gel (this is no longer totally free, but you can request 3 samples for $1 s/h)

My cousin (same one as above) also swears by the PedEgg Professional Pedicure Foot File, so when I saw them on eBay for only 99¢, I thought I’d give it a whirl. Seller provided fast shipping, too.

Free Stayfree Feminine Protection Sample & Coupon

Sign up at Dove.us for Dove free samples and coupons.

List of $4 prescriptions available at Walmart. I found this may be cheaper than using my current mail-order pharmacy.

We went to Adventureland this past weekend.

Free Home Decorators Collection Catalog
Free Domestications Catalog
Both of the above offer deferred billing. More “Buy Now Pay Later” Stores.

Consumer Reports Magazine Great magazine, worth paying for a subscription.

I should have time to read this magazine later this week as my daughter, Mallory is having dental rehabilitation surgery. And then I’m flying to Boston for a conference. (Note, there will be no Mailbox Monday next week due to my absense.)

Free Electronic Gaming Monthly Magazine

Official XBox Magazine - current best price is $4.90 from NetMagazines.com with $10 off Coupon Code: DCMPS10D

I also got 3 pairs of shoes for under $20 at Payless. 

See you in two weeks - Happy Shopping!

Kohl’s is having a “Demin Story Contest” where you can submit a video &/or picture and story about demin in your life.  I remembered I still had a pair of jeans from high school that I had painted on.  So, I dug them out of storage and coaxed my daughter, Mallory, to put them on (they obviously do not fit me anymore).  I was originally going to make a video explaining them, but the video submissions must be under 30 seconds, and I didn’t think I could do them justice in that time.  So I opted for the picture instead…

And here is what I wrote in under 1000 characters…

These were my favorite denim jeans from high school twenty years ago. Zena Brand was the bomb, and I’m afraid may be making a comeback.

Since I can longer fit into a Size 5, I had my teenage daughter model them for the picture who said “those are so 80’s!”

I was an aspiring artist (or so I thought) and dared to be different, I dazzled them by painting on them some of my favorite things.

My favorite songs were “I Like It” by Dino and “So Alive” by Love & Rockets. A boy at the time sang that song to me saying it reminded him of me, “I don’t know what color your eyes are baby, but your hair is long and brown. Your legs are strong and so, so long, and you don’t come from this town.”

Kohl’s has to manually approve each submission saying it could take up to 48 hours, but it only took a few hours to get this email…

Hi Kim,

Congratulations, your entry into the Kohl’s Video Contest was approved!

Now you can tell all of your friends to vote for you by going here: http://apps.facebook.com/kohlscontest/userentries?entriesurl=%2Fusers%2Fentries%2F51322

Tip: Be sure to let your friends know that they should vote for you once EVERY DAY.

The more votes you get, the better your chances of winning an exclusive music experience to Rock Like a Star, including tickets to a concert of your choice, PLUS $10,000 in CASH!

Every day you and your friends vote, you can also gain an entry into the random drawing for other great prizes.

Have fun and good luck!
Kohl’s

So, this is my plea for your vote!  Beings Mallory’s oral surgery is costing $10,000 (she is scheduled for next week), I thought it was cosmic that the prize is that much!  And that was my motivation to enter.

And you can win prizes just for voting, like $100 Kohl’s gift cards!

I believe you do have to be signed up with Facebook to enter.  If you aren’t, it’s free and painless (and after you register, the rest of the day’s entries just involve one click of “Love it”).  And once you join Facebook, you can be my friend.

So pretty please with whip cream and cherries on top, vote for us!  Thanks much!!

I’m feeling a bit under the weather today, so decided not to make a video for this edition.  For one, I don’t have that much energy, and two, I wanted to spare you my bleak appearance.  So between my trips to the bathroom (I hate vomiting) and nursing my stitched up wrist (read about my mishap here), I’ll still keep you up to date on the cool stuff I got in the mail this last week.

Free Sample Playtex Personal Cleansing Cloths from Walmart
Free Sample Aveeno Positively Ageless Lifting & Firming Night Cream + $1.50 off Coupon
Free Sample Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Care
I took a picture of these last two samples packaging (as if I didn’t have anything better to do, but) because the models look strikingly like the same person from their eyebrows to their laugh lines.  The only difference in the makeup and lighting.  And I don’t think Aveeno and Garnier are from the same manufacturer?

I got more Free Address Labels and a Personalized Notepad from March of Dimes - after donating to them, they send me these packages practically every month.

I received my iolo Technologies $10 rebate and a few Free Catalogs…
Free Get Organized Catalog (cool stuff)
Free American Girl Catalogue (my girls like this one)
Free SkinStore Catalog

I also received what seemed like a massive amount of bills this past week!  One of my daughters, Macy, is quite the socialite and went way over her cell phone minutes to the tune of $200. Plus the medical bills never seem to end, and likely won’t anytime soon as Mallory needs her teeth fixed.

Mallory has been doing a lot of babysitting this summer and saved enough money to buy herself a new Polaroid 8.0 MP Digital Camera (in purple), and loves it!  I wish Miss Macy would start babysitting more to pay her cell phone bill!

Have a good week!  I hope mine gets better!
