Advent Calendars for $6.49 Shipped!

Advent: The arrival of a notable person, thing, or event

Every year, we get all the kids an Advent Calendar to count down the days until Christmas.  Each day they open one door on the calendar to reveal a piece of chocolate and a Bible Verse – it’s a “sweet” reminder that the days leading to Christmas are days to prepare our hearts for the most special gift ever.  It helps keep the excitement and awareness of Christ’s birth fresh in their minds – a daily remembering that has become part of our Christmas tradition.

They actually wake up every morning and can’t wait to open that day’s door  to see what it says – and of course they want chocolate with breakfast.  What other time of year can you get that?  ;)   I remember doing the same thing when I was a kid – I love passing this on to mine!

It’s sometimes hard to find good Advent Calendars – they’re either just covered with elves and presents, or they have truly horrible chocolate inside (think waxy and tasteless).  I found some great ones made by Vermont Christmas on Amazon today – there’s a good selection and it’s good chocolate too!

*HOT Christmas Card Deal* – 30 Photo Cards for $10 Shipped!


Our family sends out a couple dozen Christmas cards each year and I’m always (ALWAYS) late getting them out.  I usually wind up getting something generic from the almost-empty card aisle at Target.  (Last year was so bad, I said forget it and sent New Years cards…)

This year – I’m changing all that!  Here’s the deal I’m jumping on:

For a limited time, Snag a set of 30 Christmas Photo Cards for only $10 Shipped!  (Valid only until November 9th)

  • Head over to Vistaprint and pick either 30 Flat Cards  -or- 20 Folded Cards for only $10 Shipped
  • Choose from hundreds of styles – from traditional, to whimsical.  Choose 5×7″ or 4×6″ – either vertical or horizontal layout
  • You can add a photo (or several) – or even pick a design that doesn’t require one
  • They come with envelopes and everything – ready to mail out.  They’ll arrive in about 14 days – just in time to get them sent out before you’re too caught up in all your holiday baking and shopping!

Halloween Clearance Cereals – My $.50 Count Chocula Score!

When I went to Cooke’s yesterday to pick up my 10 Bags of Kraft Cheese for $10 – I also stumbled upon a basket full of Halloween Cereals on clearance for $.99 each.  I picked up several boxes of Count Chocula and a few Frankenberry as well – and use my $1/2 General Mills Kids Cereal Coupons to get them for only $.50 each – what a good deal!
<>

This just goes to show that any foods wrapped in Halloween packaging will have to be clearanced out along with the rest – so keep your eyes peeled for great deals on Teddy Grahams, Fruit Snacks, etc…. that might have been packaged with trick-or-treaters in mind :)   Get coupons for those items as well in our Coupon Database.

10 Halloween Clearance Ideas for Non-Halloween Use

Halloween Clearance sales are ripe for the picking, and if you know what to look for, you can really save money on things you’ll use throughout the year! Here is a list of 10 Halloween Clearance Ideas to buy – and as always, we’d love to hear your ideas in the comments.

  1. Costumes for dress-up:
    We have a big cedar chest full of dress up clothes, and it’s one of my kids favorite things to play with.  Costumes also make great gifts!  And don’t stop at the costumes themselves – Items like feather boas, wigs, plastic swords and other accessories area really fun things to add in!
    .
  2. Chocolate/Candy:
    Get ready for holiday baking by stocking up on any good candy deals.  You can cut the chocolate bars into little chunks for cookies, or use Rolos or Hershey Kisses for Candy Pretzels.  Hard candy can be used for stained glass cookies and all other candy for Gingerbread Houses.
    .
  3. Plates & Napkins:
    Orange & Black Plates & Napkins can be used for birthday parties and other events.  Orange can go with other bright colors for summer parties, or with browns for Thanksgiving.  Black could be used for lots of things (think Pirate parties, or Black & Pink for a bridal shower)
    .
  4. Glow sticks, bracelets, necklaces:
    These are some of my favorite finds.  Glow bracelets are great gifts for class parties, prizes at VBS and just about any kind of party treat bag could do with a glowstick or bracelet!
    .
  5. Home Décor (Baskets & More):
    Any home décor items where you can take the pumpkin/spooky element OFF (or hide it) so that you can use it for everyday. (Think baskets with pumpkin-embroidered liners that can be removed.)
    .
  6. Little Pumpkin Lights or Votives:
    These little battery-operated lights can be used to make bag luminaries, put in the windows during the Holidays, brighten up a centerpiece and more.  Use on Valentine’s Day to set the mood without burning down the place!
    .
  7. Pumpkins/Gourds:
    Immediately after Halloween, the demand for pumpkins drops sharply, and their price drops to as low as $2 each.  You can pick up some pumpkins or gourds to make a pretty Thanksgiving Centerpiece, and continue to decorate with them a little longer into the fall!
