Why do I always want these pants whenever I go to Sierra Trading Post's website? Really, what would I do with a super soft pair of pink moleskin pants?

I really want them, will I be able to resist the $56.00 pants marked down (gasp) 87% to $6.95?! Maybe if I can resist checking out the site for a couple days my size will be all sold out...

Remember I mentioned an Amazon Prime membership free trial I have that was about to expire? Well I just found out from St Louis Mommy that there is a way to get or extend your free trial for 3 months. Here's the skinny:

*****This is not actually a freebie-it charges $1-$1.50 on your card for this trial. I still think it is a GREAT deal, but wanted to make sure you knew about the small charge!!*****

1) Click here for a 3 Month Trial of Amazon Prime by adding the book Pride & Prejudice to your cart (don’t worry, you won’t have to actually buy it)

2) Go through the check out process.

3) When you get to the final page, after cc info but before processing, you should see under the shipping options, Free Two-Day Shipping on the Order for Textbook Buyers: “Your name, get fast free shipping for three months, starting with this order by selecting “Free Two-Day Shipping with a Free Trial of Amazon Prime”.

4) Click the button and it should offer you a free 3 month trial!

Benefits Include:
* Unlimited FREE Two-Day Shipping
* Upgrade to One-Day Shipping for only $3.99
* No minimum order size

There's no obligation but you must cancel before your free trial is over so you will not be charged the $79 annual fee!

I would add that you can make sure you never get charged at all by dealing with it now. This is how:

1) Once you have added the 3 month trial, go to your Amazon homepage and click on "Your Account" in the upper right corner.

2) Scroll down to the settings section and click on "Manage Prime Membership."

3) You will see a button that says "Do not Upgrade." Click it, then click on "Turn off Auto Upgrade"

4) Now you can just enjoy your 3 month trial without worrying about forgetting to cancel it before it runs out in March!

Deal over!

One thing I love about my husband is that he loves a deal as much as I do. In fact, many people think he may be the cheapest man in the world. He really won't buy stuff unless he feels it is a great deal! Well, yesterday was one of those days where I was trying to get New Year's foods and games ready, and I just forget to get a whole list of things I needed for the day. I called him at work and gave him the list of what I wanted him to get: videos, Soy Milk (one of our kids is lactose intolerant so we have to buy this expensive stuff for her to get her calcium and stuff), 4-5 2 Liters of Diet Coke, Potatoes, Oranges and Tampons. Well, my "cheap" husband usually will not shop at my preferred store as Walmart tends to be cheaper overall. But, last evening, Walmart was a mess, so he decided to go check out my HyVee. He was pleasantly surprised to find a few great deals there and ended up getting not just the items I send him for but also 3 bags of clearance chocolates for us and his total for everything came in under $30. Imagine if he had the coupons with him...

While he was out, he also stopped at our local Hollywood Video to rent some movies (again-unusual as we tend to go for the $1 Red Box). While there, he was AMAZED to see the deals for the movies they were selling. New releases & Disney DVDs for $3.99, Video Games for $9.99, and older movies for even less. So, I ventured into the online world this morning to see if they had an online store, and they do-with videos as low as $2.50 each (When you buy 8). Their clearance movies even include free shipping! There are some great deals where you can buy movies for the same or less than you can rent them (from Hollywood Video). So, stop by your local Hollywood Video (search for locations near you here) or check out there website and see if you can score a great deal!
