Bouncycle for only $17!

I have no idea what THIS THING really is - but it's a really good deal.  Normally $59.99, it's now on sale for $17.41 ($71% off).  It's like a mini bike that bounces or some crap.  I have no idea.  The reviews aren't great - but there are only three of them so you can't really go on that.  Maybe this is a gift best given to that nephew or niece that you can't stand.  Way to go Amazon!

Birthday Gift Cheapness: Using Credit Card Rewards

Duh!  It's my son's 5th birthday next week.  How did that creep up on me?  I started this blog before his 1st birthday - now he's a bubbly 5 year-old.  Not sure where the time went.

Well we're really poor these days (as always) so I'm trying to always think outside the box at these times on how to maximize money not spent.

I knew I had some Discover Cashback Bonus bucks - so I checked and was up to $120 in "free" money.  I could have redeemed this for gift cards to a bunch of places (which I usually do) - but I don't have time on my side so I decided to just head over to Amazon and buy some stuff there.

So I found a few things for him - then I found the grand daddy of them all:  The Lego Police Station at 32% off (normally $99.99 but on sale for $68.40).  My kids have both been begging us for this since last Christmas.  Since it's pretty extravagant, I'll hide it for Christmas - my 6 year-old will go nuts if the 5 year-old gets it.  It would be different if they both got a "big" Lego set - then they wouldn't really care who got what.

So I was able to snag some stuff for the son, snag a "big" Christmas gift and I paid $0 out of pocket.  Hallelujah!  Now if only I can survive my trip to BJ's for the party food preps with little out of pocket, we'll be okay.

Amazon: Dashboard Jesus (52% off!!!)

So I used to post some really, REALLY great deals that I would find on Amazon.  I don't know why I stopped - but I'm up here at 3am - buying some gifts for my son's upcoming 5th birthday on Amazon and came across this gem:

Candy Cigarettes: 67% off!! Hurry! Only $7.95!

You know, some people think parents these days are too relaxed.  They let their kids grow up to be snots and over-privledged.  Nowadays, if you aren't French, you're doomed to raised brats.  That's the latest - The French are the only people who know how to properly raise children these days.  No seriously.  I read that on my Facebook newsfeed the other day.  French parents are good.  American parents suck.  Or something like that.

I have another theory why our kids are brats:  They don't know the glory that is Candy Cigarettes. But now - they can!  Regularly $24.99, you can buy a whole case for only $7.95 at Amazon.  Plus, if you spend $25 or more, you get free shipping.

I've been finding really great deals on a lot of great products at Amazon lately.  In case you are interested CLICK HERE to see all my great Amazon finds.

Pimp Cane: 47% off! Only $10.45

Is it time to revamp your pimp cane?  Now you can - cheaply.  Score THIS PIMP CANE for only $10.45 on Amazon (normally $19.99).  Remember, you aren't a true player unless you sport a pimp cane.  This cane is 37" long and sports a fake gold pimp topper.  There is talk in the description about it accenting a costume - but I think this is more of an everyday essential for all the true pimps out there.  Act fast - this is sure to sell out quickly.

Did you wake up today feeling unprepared for Groundhog Day?  Did you want to wow the other moms at school drop off?  Well jump on this deal now for next year:  A Groundhog Day Hat.  Sold through Amazon, this hat will wow the socks off the other moms in the school yard.  That's right.  It's your turn to say "Yeah, I remembered Groundhog Day and you didn't.  I'm wearing my hat, I made my kids pancakes that looked like groundhogs and we're even eating roasted groundhog for dinner tonight!"  Yeah - you can be the cool mom this year.  Sorry - I should have posted this earlier so you could have been the cool mom this year - but I'm a slacker.

Who Needs a Brest (like Breast, without the a) Friend? 29% Off!

So yeah.  I have two kids.  I tried to nurse them both.  Let me just tell you, nursing was not my strong suit.  I'm pretty much a poster child for why formula should be the #1 choice for babies - my kids are probably traumatized from their nursing experiences.  Some of my wonderful nursing memories include:

- The baby would pop off, and my boob would just keep squirting him in the eye.

- I'd nurse laying in bed (which didn't result in suffocation of my child) - well we'd both fall asleep and both wake up in a pool of leaked out milk.

- I've been known to sport a few leak spots in public.  I usually always had a coffee with me, so I'd just spill some coffee on my shirt and try to make my milk leakage blend in with coffee spillage.

- My son would make really weird noises while eating and quite frankly, it kind of grossed me out.  I probably gave him a lot of odd looks when I should have been smiling down all nicely to him like most mothers.

- Then I thought that freezing breast milk in ice cube trays was really cool.  I don't think my husband can ever look at ice cubes the same way now.  At one point, I was tempted to stick popsicle sticks in them, but apparently 4 month-olds can't really handle popsicles.  That put a kibosh on that idea.

I actually admire people who breastfeed in public because I could never be that coordinated (nor could my babies).  Maybe because my boobs are so small?  Even at home - I pretty much just had to whip my boobs out and chant "go, baby, go!"  But I think the real reason for my inability to be graceful at nursing was that I didn't have a Brest Friend.

You can nab this great nursing pillow for 29% off on Amazon.  It's normally $42, but on sale for $29.65 and qualifies for free shipping. Yeah, that's right.  Move on over Boppy - the Brest Friend is in town now!

I personally like the water bottle pouch on the side.  If I had a Brest Friend, I think I would have been better.  I mean, who doesn't want a nursing pillow with a water bottle holder?  I think that was the downfall of my nursing.  I didn't have that luxury.

Chippendales Calendar: 70% off!

Did you get your 2012 calendar yet?  It's okay if you say "no".  I'm a slacker on this.  I usually wait until January to buy mine (I usually scoop up a Warren Kimble one).  But my son got a calendar in a Yankee Swap so we decided to just use that.  Why spend money (no matter how little) on something that you already have?  You know?

Well if you're looking for that perfect calendar for your kitchen, look no further.  This Chippendales Calendar that is normally $30 is now on sale for only $8.98 on Amazon, but of course.  Plus $3.99 for shipping and handling.  But WAIT!  It gets better!  It comes with a BONUS DVD!  Yahoo!  Now this is a deal.  I think this is worth every penny:

Mr. Meow Clock: 57% Off! Only $12.99!

Hold your horses people!  Or should I say cats.  Do you have a cat lover in the family?  Are you looking for that "one of a kind" Valentine's Day gift for your husband?  Well look no further!  For only $12.99 (Reg. $29.99 and free shipping if you spend $25 or more!), you can have your very own Meow Mix Mr. Meow Clock. This clock plays the Meow Mix Jingle EVERY HOUR ON THE HOUR!  "Meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow meow!"  Yes!  That's just what you need!

Product Description

Charlene’s first novel has just been published and she couldn’t be happier. Unfortunately, being a published author isn’t quite as lucrative as she had hoped. She needs a day job that will give her time to finish her second novel before the money from the first one runs out. Managing a small RV park on the Mississippi Gulf Coast seems like the perfect gig. It’s close to the beach, the rent is paid, and the job demands are minimal.

Things seem to be working out just great until the murders start.

Who is killing people at the Happy Times RV Park? Charlene intends to find out, with the help of a senior citizen ex-madam, a fugitive from the 60s, and a good looking cop with a shady past.
