Book your bus travel dates by November 28th and pay $0 for Megabus bus tickets across the Northeast and Midwest! Megabus is giving away 100,000 free tickets…after the first 100,000 have been “sold”, tickets will start as low as $1. I’ve never taken a bus on vacation, but free travel in this economy is oh-so-tempting! (Anyone have any prior experience in this area that you’d like to share?)
Thanks to Money Saving Mom for passing this along! Not only can you earn points toward free gift cards from all of your online searches and shopping, you can also earn points from the online searches and shopping of your friends and families!
If you never refer one friend or family member, you can still earn free gift cards just from generating your regular online searches from Swag Bucks. Depending on how many searches you typically generate, you’ll probably earn enough Swag Bucks every month or two for a free $5 gift card. Yippee, right?
Perhaps I should introduce you to a professional who is so dedicated to “economic endeavors”, that she’s paid for most of Christmas with her Swag Bucks (several hundred dollars worth)! Wowza! Good job, Lavonne! That’s an Economic Endeavor of Excellence!
Restaurant.com has surprised us all with an 80% discount on gift certificate purchases through Thursday, November 20th! Restaurant gift certificates purchased over the next three days will cost only $2 for a $25 certificate and $0.60 for a $10 certificate (no limits)!
Since certificates from Restaurant.com are good for one full year from the date of purchase, they make excellent “buy ahead of time” stocking stuffers!
JC Penney is giving away one free Flirtitude panty (approximate retail value: $7.50) to each customer who presents either a Seventeen.com printout of the home page or the December 2008/January 2009 cover of Seventeen Magazine.
For each of the 25,000 panties given away, JC Penney will also donate $1 to the JC Penney After School Fund.

Everyone look under your chairs! You’re ALL receiving a free 8″X11″ custom cover photo book from Snapfish! Sorry - got lost in Oprahdom for a moment…this offer was originally broadcast on Oprah last night, and brought to my attention by Jessica (and Katy).
The offer doesn’t include shipping ($7), but for the size and quality of the book…you cannot beat the price!
Wondered why photos hadn’t been submitted this week…the article sat in the unpublished category for a couple of days! To account for the late start, this week’s contest will be a long-weekend contest, running Friday through Monday!
The Week 8 photo contest begins today and the theme is “America”! To celebrate Veteran’s Day and last week’s Election Day, send in your favorite patriotic photos (see instructions below), and enter to win a free copy of America at Home, with YOUR favorite photo on the cover! For details about the book itself, click HERE.
(To purchase a copy for a gift now, America at Home has provided a $10 discount to all iMommies readers! Enter the IMOMMIES promotional code at checkout to receive $10 off of the purchase price.)
Thanks to the McKids Family for keeping us all informed on how to turn last year’s holiday gifts into new gifts this year! Recycle your used electronic items with Costco and receive a Costco cash card in exchange (not all items have a trade-in value).
Many of you enjoyed the free Christmas gifts from Buy.com and Google Checkout last year, and while unfortunately, this year will be different, Buy.com is still a budget-minded shopping portal. I definitely encourage you to check out their prices before ordering elsewhere!
Just as an example, here are two great buys on photo gifts/supplies:
The latest 60% off discount code is valid through Thursday, November 13th, for all restaurant gift certificates through Restaurant.com. With each order between now and 11/13/08, receive a free $10 gift certificate!
Purchase $35 in restaurant gift certificates for $4!
