Saveology is a daily deal site, and today’s offer is a $15 Staples gift card for $8.00. This offer is only good for customers who have not purchased from Saveology before. Click here for all the offer details.

We just got a Staples in our area this year, so I’m excited to purchase this gift card. Discounts like this on gift cards are another great way to stretch your dollars. Staples carries office supplies as well as electronics, and we actually got a really good deal on toilet paper there a few months back.

Thanks to Common Sense With Money for the tip!

Do you remember last year when I advised you to snag a free $5 credit for Daily Deal site Eversave? Well, today is the day to use that credit! Today’s Eversave deal is a voucher for MagazineOutlet.com, where you can get a 6-issue subscription to All You. If you’re unfamiliar with this magazine, it’s popular with couponers because each issue is full of coupons – you might want to click here to read my article about it for more information. Here’s how to get this deal:

For existing member with $5 credit:

1. Login to your Eversave account to view the MagazineOutlet.com deal.
2. Enter coupon code SHARE at checkout to deduct $3. If you have the $5 credit from their promotion in December, it will deduct this also, leaving you with a grand total of $2.00 to pay. That works out to .33 cents per issue – that’s the best deal I’ve ever seen on this magazine!

Not a member of Eversave yet? You can still get a pretty good deal through this scenario:

1. Click here to register for Eversave, and you will receive a $2 credit.
2. Enter coupon code SHARE at checkout to deduct $3. This, combined with your $2 new member credit, will bring the final total to $5 – this works out to about .83 cents per issue, which is equivalent to QSP’s subscription deal.

Thanks Money Saving Mom!

Living Social is offering a $20 voucher to Soap.com for $10 today. This voucher is only good on participating P&G products – click here to read the full details. According to the terms, you will receive “Free overnight delivery on your order of $25 or more”. Some blogs have said that this is for new customers only, but it doesn’t appear that way to me after reading the terms – hopefully I’m right, since I just ordered a voucher.

If you’re thinking of ordering this deal, just make sure to check prices carefully, as Soap.com‘s prices may not be that great depending on what these products retail for at your local stores. I’ve placed two orders previously from Soap.com, because some of their products are a good deal compared to what I could get locally. I also discovered that I had $5 in credit in my Living Social account (Apparently someone signed up through my link a while ago!) so I decided to go for this deal too, since it was only five bucks for me.

Thanks to Money Saving Mom for the heads-up about this deal!

Today has been filled with wedding planning for me! First, I was putting together a special bridal giveaway – one of my lucky readers will be winning a wedding shopping spree in the near future, so you’ll want to stay tuned for that! After I completed that project, I got an email from Friends and Family Circle, another daily deal site à la Groupon. Their featured deal today is a $50 voucher to ExclusivelyWeddings.com for $20. Here’s how to get this deal:

1. Click here to visit Friends and Family Circle and login or register – the ExclusivelyWeddings.com deal should be on the front page under “Featured Deal”.

2. Purchase the deal, and you should receive your voucher via email right away. Vouchers cannot be redeemed until the day after purchasing. This offer excludes kate spade and Martha Stewart products. Offer expires July 1, 2011. I presume this voucher does not cover shipping, although it does not specify.

I purchased a discounted Starbucks gift card from Friends and Family circle a few months back, and was very happy with my purchase. You know I’m all about anything that can help with a frugal wedding, so I snapped this deal up! And, to make it even more frugal, I paid for it with a VISA gift card I received from my Internet provider recently as a promo offer when I bundled services. I’ll be sure to keep you posted on what I purchase!

Remember how I got an $88 pair of prescription eyeglasses at Coastal Contacts last week for $16? Well, the offer is back! Today, May 25th only, Coastal Contacts are offering a free pair of prescription eyeglasses to the first 10,000 people to register. This is for new customers only, and shipping is NOT included. Apparently, this started at 9 AM EST, but there still appear to be free coupons available. To participate, click here to become a fan of Coastal Contacts on Facebook, and you will be provided with a free coupon code. Not all frames are eligible, so be sure to click on the link they provide with the coupon to see the eligible frames.

From some of the discussion I saw on Money Saving Mom, it may actually be cheaper to order certain prescriptions through an inexpensive retailer like Zenni Optical. However, paying $16 shipping for a pair of specs at Coastal Contacts is still a great deal, so I wanted to be sure and share this with you since I don’t have to dash out the door this time!

Thanks to Common Sense With Money for the heads-up!

My Community Coffee order arrived on Saturday – it got here super fast. I’m drinking a cup as I write this, and I’m quite enjoying it!

Earlier in the week, I also received an order I placed at Coastal Contacts. Money Saving Mom had posted about a special offer they ran on May 11th, where the first 10,000 people who became a fan of Coastal Contacts on Facebook would receive a free pair of prescription eyeglasses (not including shipping). I ordered these Katayama K4126 C1 Black glasses for Jai, and the coupon deducted $88 dollars from the total; I just paid the shipping & handling of $16.07. I would have posted this deal, but I had to run out the door after I placed my order and the free coupons were gone when I got back!

I’ve previously gotten free glasses for Jai through a giveaway that I won and a review that I did for Contest Corner. I’ve also heard Zenni Optical recommended as a place to get inexpensive prescription glasses – I’ve never ordered from them, but it might be worth looking into if you need new specs.

We’ll be needing to re-stock on coffee soon, so I just ordered a three-pack of Community Coffee on Amazon for $9.95. These bags are 12 ounces each, which works out to .27 cents per ounce – the brand I was planning to buy at Safeway is .46 cents per ounce, so this was a better deal. Of course, you can get coffee cheaper than this if you buy big canisters rather than these type of “Specialty” roasts, but this type of coffee is my preferred indulgence. Here’s how to get this deal:

1. Login to your Amazon account and click here to access their coupons page. Here you will find a coupon for $3 off any Community Coffee 12oz three-pack; if you don’t see it, keep refreshing the page to see new coupons until it pops up (I had to do this many times before it came up).

2. Click to add the coupon, and then select which coffee you want from this page. I chose Community Coffee Whole Bean Coffee, French Roast, 12-Ounce Bags (Pack of 3) because it was the least expensive at $15.23.

3. Select the “Subscribe and save” option to receive a 15% discount and free shipping. This reduced the cost of the French Roast to $12.95. The $3.00 off coupon then lowered the cost further, making my final price $9.95.

4. Cancel the subscription after your order ships, and you won’t be charged in the future. This part is important! I made a note to myself in my weekly planner to do this so that I won’t forget.

Thanks to SlickDeals.com for this deal!

This is the frugal Christmas card I sent out this year! The festive stamps came from my Zazzle.com order, and I won the cute return address labels in a giveaway.

I ordered 60 custom photo cards with envelopes from SeeHere.com for $4.32. The shipping was hardly “Overnight”, but it still got here in enough time so it didn’t really matter! I was pleased with how it turned out:

The photos came from our engagement shoot earlier in the month. I bartered for the photo session, so it cost me no money!

This Christmas, I stuffed a stocking for Jai very frugally. It consisted of a 50-pack of disposable cups that I got through a review on Contest Corner, a little gift set I had won in a giveaway, and a 4 GB Santa Flash Drive and a Retractable Cross Over Cable which I got for $1.98 total after coupons on Mwave.com.

Remember the Bluetooth Audio Transport that Mwave offered for free after rebate in November? Well, because I purchased it, I received a $1.00 gift coupon towards my next purchase. A few weeks later, they also sent me a $5.00 gift coupon towards anything on their site. The Santa flash drive was marked down to $4.99, so after using the $5.00 coupon I paid just .99 cents for shipping. I then used the $1.00 coupon for the Retractable Cross Over Cable, which was on sale for $1.99 with free shipping – so once again, I paid just .99 cents. Jai runs a computer repair business – and just loves gadgets in general! – so these were both things he needed.

I also gave the Bluetooth Audio Transport to Jai for Christmas, as well as the free-after-rebate LG Bluetooth Headset from NewEgg. These actually turned out to be nicer than I thought – the LG headset is wireless, making it much more convenient to use than his other bluetooth headset, and the audio transport came with some handy extras, like a universal USB charger and cool earbuds.

What frugal gifts did you give for Christmas? I’d love to hear about it in the comments!
