7/13   Amazon has raised the prices since I posted this – I will keep an eye on it & let you know if they go lower!

A laminator has been on my homeschool wish list for a couple of years now. I finally found a great deal! But hurry, you only have until July 31st.

Details:

• go to the  Scotch Thermal Laminator page
• click on one of the links in the box that says Save $20 When You Buy a Scotch Thermal Laminator and Pouches
  
• add both items to your cart – your total will be $46.82 – be sure to choose free Super Saver Shipping!
• print the $20 rebate form and send it in along with the required items
• final cost for laminator & 50 pouches = $26.82!

To make this deal even sweeter, I used my Amazon gift cards that I earned through Swagbucks, so my final cost was FREE!! (WordPress won’t let me link to my Swagbucks account, so if you want to sign up under me, copy & paste this link: http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/Amystuff )

There were so many garage sales this past Saturday! I ran out of money & room in the van before I even visited all the ones on our end of town. Here are the things I stole good deals I got:

I paid $5 for this wicker rocker, table & all the cushions. My $5 included a small sofa too, but it was in bad shape & wouldn’t fit in the van. I told the lady to keep it & sell it again LOL. I did keep the black toile cushions from the sofa.

three plush bathroom rugs $1 ea  ~  two directors chairs for the big girls’ room $2 ea (will paint the canvas seats)

very old children’s textbooks for my collection *free!*  ~  2 tupperware containers .50 ea  ~  turquoise earring/bracelet/necklace set $2  ~  little girl clothes .25 ea  ~  like new rice cooker $5  ~  4 vintage pyrex dishes $3  ~  shoes $1 ea

I can’t wait for this coming Saturday – it is half price day at Goodwill 🙂

I have coupons on the brain this week. I am doing my best to get my act together and stop wasting time & money. I have used the binder method for years to file my coupons, but it takes too long to file them, so I am going to give Crystal’s coupon box a try. More to come on that later.

Anyhoo, I came across this very helpful site that lists all of the available printable coupons. Fantastic!!
