Thanks to Karen at Cashbaq for this one! If you haven’t yet purchased the 2009 Entertainment Book, and haven’t yet registered with Cashbaq…NOW is the time to do both! The combination of the two will earn you a free Entertainment Book, a $3 cash bonus, and a HUGE book filled with money-saving coupons!
Even if you’re already enjoying the 2009 Entertainment Book, you can purchase an additional one for your vacation destinations. If you’re already a Cashbaq member, your out-of-pocket expense (after cash back) will be $1.98 for shipping…and the savings in the book FAR exceeds that!
Entertainment Books vary by state to ensure the savings offers are valid in your area, and they include discounts for virtually every type of business…restaurants, grocery and convenience stores, hair and nail salons, the MALL, movie theaters, hotels, dry cleaners, museums and attractions, and many more. Most of the coupons are only good through November of 2009, though a few extend into 2010 (exact coupons vary by location).
Buy Dad a book from the Father’s Day selection at Border’s (40% off with a printable coupon) and enjoy a free 12-oz. Seattle’s Best Coffee while you shop (with another printable coupon)!
Whether you’re homeschooling now, interested in homeschooling, or are just trying to supplement public/private schooling, “Homeschooling and Loving It!” is an excellent resource for parents, and is now available at a substantially discounted price.
I recently had the honor of speaking with Rebecca Kochenderfer, author of “Homeschooling and Loving It!”, and Senior Editor and Co-Founder of Homeschool.com (the #1 homeschooling website, recognized by Forbes and Encyclopedia Britannica). Her approach is amazingly unique, flexible, and suitable for educators of all students, and her book outlines the method of homeschooling she used with her own children – children who have truly excelled under the same methods taught in her book (her daughter received a large scholarship to a high school for the performing arts and her son just received honors-at-entrance to the university of his choice!).
Thanks to Julie for sharing the new discount/money-maker! If you were hesitant to order the Entertainment Book last month (for $1.25)…perhaps, earning $2.50 will be more enticing!

To be completely honest, I’m a first time Q’er 
. I just tested this out, and the code covers your entire purchase total at QVC (including shipping) up to $10. Some of the items have free shipping, some items are under $10 – huge variety in items and costs (they even sell food?!).
Here’s a synopsis of the book, starring your child:
On Christmas Eve, the Christmas Angel takes your child to Santa’s workshop where he meets Santa Claus and his helpers. Your child travels the world with Santa on his reindeer-drawn sleigh and helps deliver presents to the children as well as learning about the different Christmas traditions in each country.
Personalized photo items are always popular for holiday gift-giving, and Artscow has reduced their shipping fees to make these items even more affordable! In addition to the usual “shipping costs only” freebies, Artscow is now offering a free 8″ X 8″ Custom Hardcover ImageWrap Photo Book and a free 4-piece Photo Jigsaw Puzzle…at a reduced shipping price.
Last week, I wrote a short article about a great website for purchasing college textbooks at deeply discounted prices, but did you also know that you can SELL your used, good-condition college textbooks on that same site? If you have books collecting dust and just haven’t found the time to bring them to your local book recycling center, try Textbooks.com. Just enter the ISBN number(s), receive a quote and a free shipping label, and mail off the book(s)…they’ll mail a check as soon as they’ve received and inspected your shipment!
For those of you on the purchasing side, Textbooks.com offers FREE shipping on all orders over $25, within the Continental U.S.
For those of you with college-aged children, textbooks can be purchased (both new and used) at substantially discounted prices, from both your local college bookstores and online at Textbooks.com.
Barnes & Noble has a fairly large selection of board games on clearance this week, and TODAY ONLY, they’re the featured daily double on Ebates (an online shopping portal that rewards members with cash back on every purchase made through their site).
As an example: Spiderman Monopoly is regularly priced at $34.95 from Barnes & Noble, but is now on clearance for $8.73 ($7.85 for B&N Members). When you start at Ebates, you’ll be redirected to the Barnes & Noble site through Ebates, and earn 8% cash back from your B&N purchase. That cash back amount is placed in your Ebates account until you reach $5.01 – once you reach that amount, Ebates will send you a “big fat check” for the balance in your cash back account.
To make the savings even better, there are several Barnes & Noble coupons available, including free shipping (on one item, if you spend $25 or more), and 25% off the highest-priced item in your shopping cart. If you’ve not yet signed up with Ebates, you’ll also receive a $10 bonus just for registering.
To simplify things a tad, I’ll slip into list-maker mode for a second…
