Hope you enjoy these deals. We took advantage of some great bank promotions a while back and opened a bunch of checking accounts (we got $50 plaza gift cards, 2 ipod shuffles, $100, and a camping chair :). Now I use one for savings, a separate one for checking (so I can't easily transfer my savings into my checking), a separate for tithing and preschool tuition, a separate one for Dave's occasional income, and another for our mortgage payment. It works for us, as it 'forces' me to budget into separate accounts automatically. That way I never 'see' the money that really isn't ours to spend. Wouldn't be so hot if you want to keep things simple, though.

Hugs,
Sarah

$5 off $25 at Target!

Target Deal from Momma:

"Last night Lib and I went to Target to get Parker's Birthday presents. I grabbed this coupon from an online site. It's for $5 off a $25 purchase and is good until October 2008. I copied and pasted the coupon into a word document and printed out 4 per page. It says it's good for toys, but it worked on non-toy stuff, too.
Here's the link. I'll also attach the word doc I made with four coupons on it.
Love you,
c/mhttp://www.shoppersresource.com/images/printable/target.htm?AFID=Performics_DealDigs&LNM=0971%7CPerformics%7CHomepage%7CText%20Link%7C%7C20070427%7C20120430%7C "

Thanks, Bargain Queen.

Getting ready to fly! How to shop online for vacations...

I've been shopping for vacations online since 1999. It really isn't that tough. You just have to get over the myth that buying online isn't trustworthy. You can most definitely find fantastic deals online, especially if you're flexible.

Some of my favorite websites for travel shopping are:

www.farecompare.com

www.priceline.com

www.orbitz.com

It really does pay to comparison shop online - search it out a few different ways. Try typing "fare sale, discount fares to Salt Lake City" for example, and see what comes up.

It can also pay to find 'coupons.' These are codes for online shopping that you can type in when you are checking out your 'cart' and finalizing your purchase. Search 'orbitz coupons' or 'discount coupon codes for orbitz,' etc. You'll find that sometimes you can save tens to hundreds this way (in addition to your already decent deals). Or you can do online rebates through www.ebates.com. I have received several rebate checks from them, so I know they are reputable and legit!

Sometimes the best deals are packages - buy air and hotel all at once and it comes out cheaper (usually, but not always). Search 'discount vacation packages to...' and see what comes up. It always pays to search a little before settling on any particular site. To search, you can just type those words into the address bar at the top of your computer, or go to a formal search engine site such as www.google.com.

Happy Vacation Planning (and feel free to take me along)!
